Tuesday Morning
Good Morning. Well, I'm a little upset right now. Over the day yesterday, I felt that my foot was looking worse that it had been. Although it was less painful, it seemed to be getting redder and more swollen. When Dr. Schuster came in this morning, he agreed. So they're going to have to play around with the antibiotics, that the vancomycin and zosin are not doing the trick. Also, it appears that I will NOT be able to go home before Pesach. I don't even know what to say.

Leah - keep your chin up. Just another road bump. I know you can get through this. It is never fun to be in the hospital. Are you completely off the Prednisone now? Has that helped you sleep any better or made you feel any better? I will keep praying for you. Don't let things bring you down. Keeping your spirits up will help you heal. I know it's hard though.

Leah,
ReplyDeleteThis too shall pass and as disappointed as you may feel, it is all about you getting well to spend MANY more Yom Tovim at home.
A speedy refua shlema to you.
What you have to say my friend is that you need to keep that positive attitude of yours and with the help and strength of the family and all of your friends that love you so so much, you will overcome this hurdle.
ReplyDeleteI will keep davening, as will the rest of my family, and you will be in our hearts as always.
Love you.

Hello My Friend, What happened?? Last I checked in everything was hunky dori and you were rushing to prepare for shabbos. I'm sorry I didn't check in or come by on shabbos. Bad Buford!! My goodness they think it's cellulitis. That has to be watched very closely and it will get worse before it gets better. I know because of Mark. It was a good thing the Doctor started you with the vancomyocin right away. Mark had it piggybacked with clindomyocin and some flagyl too. Your going to need mega doses of acidophilus for your stomach. I'm feeling so frustrated for you. I know that you have been working so hard to get ready for Pesach. I think Pesach gave you the goal to keep on moving. I'm praying and hoping this is a minor set back and that you'll be feeling better soon. If you want I'll come on Thursday and ask the 4 questions. 1)What time is lunch? 2)What's for dinner? 3)Why does that patient have his gown open in the back? Oh no Ethel, I've just been mooned! 4)Do you have male nurses in tight uniforms that are not gay? You're lucky that you were able to get to the hospital quickly and that your Team was available. If it was during Seder maybe not so much. So I guess there is a reason for eveything. I just haven't figured it out yet, How about you? All my love xxx000xxx Buford
ReplyDeleteIt's frightening and inconvenient,
ReplyDeleteyou feel angered and hurt,
down about yourself
and only picturing the worst.
Focusing on this burden,
dreading each and every day,
dreaming of a better situation,
with your only cure to pray.
Optimism and hope,
faith, courage and pride,
strengthen your heart and soul,
with The Almighty at your side.
Try to understand your dilemma
just so you know,
there's a reason for everything,
and a time for you to grow.
You cannot predict the future,
the bumpy road we call "life",
so enjoy each and every moment,
and conquer every strife.
