Right, the latest is she is okay, still druggy and dopey from the op, but awake and okay. Really we won't know what effect the op will have had on her for a few days. I will be able to tell more when I see her tomorrow. I have some chocs, she is a chocaholic, and a lovely card. You can't take flowers, so maybe a mag or 2. Don't know what else to take. She has drinks with her. What do you think?
You can take all the good wishes from the members of Garden Stew Emma, hopefully that will lift her spirits a little. Fingers and everything crossed for your friend.
glad to hear everything seems to be o.k. atleast so far. will continue to send you both good wishes coming your way.
EJ I just now read about Debbie. I am so glad she made it through the surgery.My prayers are with her and You.
EJ, I think that you just being there to visit will pick up her spirits. Reading about her husbands attitude just makes me so MAD! You are a good friend
I'm so glad she made it through surgery. Please bring our best wishes for a speedy recovery. I'm with CP, your being there for her will probably mean a lot to her.
Debbie, just seeing your face and knowing you are there for her will be a wonderful pick-me-up. My prayers are still with you both. Please keep us posted.
Really good nerws in this preliminary report. It is a relief that the op went ok. As for ideas of what to take...well, I dunno--mayne a smal, cuddly animal, like a teddy or one of those very soft seals or something like that. You know, sort of as a cuddly little companion to be with her while she has to lie there and recover. Being small it will never be in the way. Adults can find comfort in "security blanket-like things" too y'know. I agree with Gardengirl--that you can take the good wishes and prayers to Dennie from all of us...an unknown group of supporters. Actually she might feel really supported to know that there are so many folks here that are thinking about her and trying to offer support in what simple ways that we can. We can be a powerful block of staunch support when called upon to do so. You know Emma, all you have to do is say that she is a friend of yours and that's enough for me (and obviously the rest of us as well). Too bad you don't have a laptop with Wi-Fi capability--you could take it to the hossey and show her for real. Anyway. i have waffled on long enough now. Continued good luck to Debbie. Please do keep us updated.
So pleased to hear that Debbie came through the operation well EJ. I've been thinking of her off and on all day and wondering how she was doing. I hope the operation won't have too detrimental an effect on her health so fingers tightly crossed. I'd take her a pack of playing cards or a puzzle book and pen as being in hospital can be pretty boring. Maybe she has a hobby that she can do whilst in bed. I know I'd be sitting making cards to while away the time!! Pass on my good wishes to her and tell her we're all hoping she has a speedy recovery. Thanks for the update and keep us posted on her progress.
Ej Adding my prayers for you and friend.. God will bless you 100 fold for your sacrafice..Your heart is big. Think positive..
That is wonderful news. THanks for keeping us posted. Please take allour thoughts and good wishes to her.
best wishes to your friend, on the what can you take, what about a talking book, you know the ones that are on cd or tape, and maybe lend her a player for it if she is allowed one in there.Or if she feels like doing them a crossword /puzzle book.
Some good ideas there. Playing cards and puzzle books are no good as she no longer has enough muscle control in her hands and arms to turn pages or hold cards, they would go everywhere immediately, but the audio book idea is a good one, and I will probably pick up a wee cuddly to go with the chocs. I also made a cake yesterday for the womens institute comp - which I won of course - so I may well take her in a nice big slice of that to have with a cup of tea whilst I am there. I will let you know later how she is doing. Thanks so much for all of your wishes and support. I means a lot to me and when I tell her about you all later, I know it will mean a lot to her.
