Boy, you can say that again -- we live about an hour from the hospital. The surgery was about 8 hours. She's back and forth every day. She was really frightened at one point when my name disappeared from the OR board. The love of my life is taking very good care of me.

 

I'm getting crochety about food; Betsy says that's a sign I'm getting better.

Glad to hear your surgery went well and you are now on your way to being in good form in time for the "big cruise". Stay healthy.

ask the doc if Betsy can bring something that you'd enjoy eating--milkshake, brownie? Little something from home can work wonders!

 

I also asked for my mp3 player and earbuds so that i could attempt to drown out the hospital noise and try to get some sleep. Mr Wonderful loaded up the sounds from the ocean for me.....ahhhh.

 

Be sure and tell your sweetie how awesome she is--caretaker needs taking care of as well!

So nice to see that our Oceania expert is back on these boards.

 

Keep getting healthy, Don!

Wow, the fact that you were able to post from the ICU says something about how well you're doing! No way I could do that.

 

Healing is a slow process, as you well know. Be well.

Don, so happy to hear that you are recovering. I've been away and did not realize what you and Betsy were going through. Praying for a quick recovery. You should be better than new when you go on the world cruise! Also hope that we can meet for lunch again -- somewhere in the world!

Don,

 

So glad to hear that you are doing so well! Remember we are all cheering for you and Betsy. Keep up the good work:D

Welcome Back and glad you are on the mend. Looking forward to more of your insightful and informative posts!

Been home for about 12 hours. Feeling crotchety. Glad to be alive. Will take 6 to 12 weeks to return to normal, likely to be still crotchety.

Feeling crotchety means you are getting better - good news for you but maybe not for your wife (lol).

Besides, you have good reason to feel that way! Glad to hear you're at home.

Great news! You should be in perfect shape for the world cruise:)

[jfb128]

Outstanding news. And yes crotchety is good. Waiting to start reading your world cruise blog. Take care.

Nice to hear you are home. I am always surprised to see how short hospital stays are. I use TT too and you are right you could file from anyplace with the internet today. I must look again because using it never saved me enough to go on a world cruise!

:cool: My reference to the savings was more a comment on our general miserly ways. We see $400 spent when $75 works as $325 lost. Enough of those situations over 50 years equals a world cruise on little income.

I think I am also frugal, guess I have lots to learn. Glad to hear you are doing great!!
