by meganne 11 Feb 2012

it's 9:30pm Saturday night and I have been trying to activate my mobile internet since 4pm this afternoon, so I could come to Cute and talk to all my wonderful family.

Needless to say, my blood pressure has skyrocketed and the nurse has told me to turn off my laptop and let my bp return to normal, so I got up and closed the door instead. hehehehehehe!!!
I have missed my Cute family so much and I can't wait to get back to my regular visits, but they will be restricted as this surgery is going to take months to recover from and I am not even allowed to lift my laptop as they (medicstaff) have said it is too heavy.
Anyway, it is good to be able to visit and thank you all for your well wishes, I haven't read them yet, but at least now I can. Hugs and roses to you all, love, Meganne

Hopefully you will be able to go home soon. Just being at home and not interrupted all the time will let you get some good rest, and your blood pressure will return to normal. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Oh my - you take care of yourself - do whatever it takes for you to get well enough to get home. You do need to restrict your time - so that you can heal properly - we will wait - allow those that can call you - to give us updates - let them read to you - the post - so you don't get yourself into trouble. Take care of you.

Thanks Shirlene I'm doing the best I can to take care of me. This has been one of my worst ever surgeries and it was only a 4 hour one. Thank you for the lovely Angel and wishes, they arrived in Monday's mail just before we left to come to the hospital, both Angels are hanging above my bed here.
The internet has kicked me off four times since I started typing this message, I think I'll give it up as a bad joke and just watch telly for a while before bedtime.
Hugs n love, Meg

Dear Meganne.
Glad to see you are getting better. Think of your Fur Babies and the Cuties Family when they take your blood preasure. That will help to lower it.
Also, if they put that "stick" in your mouth to check your throat, make sure to ask "who ate the ice cream" ;)
Wishing you a speedy recovery.
Hugs and Blessings,
Rachel

Meganne, I understand your frustration but do look after yourself. It can be easy to think that you are ok after surgery but you really do need to take the time to recover, I have seen is so many times with both myself and friends who think they are ok to do stuff but end up doing damage. Take care.

Hi Meganne,

What a pleasant surprise when I logged on just now to find a message you posted from your hospital bed!!!! It's impossible to keep a 'Cutie' down. Your post even sounds like your old self.

After major surgery there you are posting messages on 'Cute' and reaching out to all your friends all of the 'world'. We have all been thinking and praying for you. A few 'Cuties' have been so kind to keep us updated on your progress. Loved the picture.

Please do as instructed. Just have someone else put your laptop where you want it. You know you have all these friends that are just a click away and waiting to hear from you anytime you feel like it. Isn't technology wonderful at times like these!!

Above all, take care of yourself sweet lady.

Hi Meganne - Sunday Morning here right now.

It's so good to see that you have recovered enough to try to stretch the limit ....... But .......... there is a limit and your body needs time to adjust to what has happened to it. Please be careful and work with the medical staff so that when you do return home you'll be that much more safely on the road to complete recovery.

Been thinking about you all week and hoping that everything has been going right for you.

Sending much love - AlmaG.

Sorry you are not able to be at home yet with the fur babies,but I am sure it will not be much longer as you seem to be so positive trying to recover and get on with life. Just take things slowly and allow your poor body to heal, and before long these current ordeals will be in the past. We love you lots. Barb

Hey Girlfriend, I'm afraid poor Ray has copped the worst of my neediness this week. It was my Mum's birthday on the 9th and I was really being sooky for her, I miss her so much. I have a support wrap for my poor tummy, it's so swollen I look like I belong in the next ward (maternity, LOL!!)
And then I had to miss my GD's 3rd birthday, yesterday so yesterday was a bad day all round. Today is better!!!

So glad to hear from you, take a deep breath in, exhale slowly, in--- out ---, in ---- out---! That's what my daughter tell me to do when I get upset. I was without my laptop for a week while it was being repaired as windows malfunctioned. Then they loaded Windows 7 and I said I need XP as my Artista programme does NOT work with 7 so they had to start over again. I thought about you a lot and wished I had some of your computer knowledge. Hope everything goes well and you are in my prayers. Hugs

Maybe the nurse should better try to help you get connect to the net instead of trying to take you away (this would not work :-). We are not only design-addicted no also CUTE-addicted *lol* Holidays in the beautiful tuscany without internet was a try to detox me from my daily dose of CUTE ;o)
Hope you feeling better soon. Be really careful with lifting weight (I had 2 c-sections know how it feels if they cut all your muscles there)
