Sedalia Dave Posted December 17, 2022 Posted December 17, 2022 Glad she is on the mend. Thought and prayers continue for you both. And those Eagles were a sign from Grandfather that she will be OK.

Still pretty out of it, but not happy with missing parts. I'm happy she made it so well so far. Only up from here. Thanks ,
Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 Posted December 17, 2022 Posted December 17, 2022 Keeping Ellie in my prayers.

Utah Bob #35998 Posted December 19, 2022 Posted December 19, 2022 In 2012 I had a similar situation. Removal of 3” of colon due diverticulitis like Pat, and a colostomy bag for 6 months until they re-hooked up the plumbing. The bag only interfered with a few activities and though not pleasant I got used to it pretty quickly. Best wishes to you both.
Dogmeat Dad, SASS #48563L Posted December 20, 2022 Posted December 20, 2022 Prayers Up for continued healing!

She is going to be so bummed if she has to miss another season.

DeaconKC Posted December 22, 2022 Posted December 22, 2022 Thank you for the report, still praying here for you all.
Linn Keller, SASS 27332, BOLD 103 Posted December 23, 2022 Posted December 23, 2022 Still standing up on my Prayer Bones for the both of you! Pat Riot speaks truly about that pillow. If she does have to cough, have her hold the pillow firm against her belly. Works for cardiac surgeries too.

Pat Riot speaks truly about that pillow. If she does have to cough, have her hold the pillow firm against her belly. Works for cardiac surgeries too. Advice most appreciated. One of her nurses gave her a firm heart shaped pillow which seems to work. She only coughed once when I was there and did relatively ok .

Now comes the hard part for you, making sure she listens to the doctors and doesn't try to do too much all at once. Based on my experiences with my parent's invasive surgeries (12+ between the both of them) it'll be at least a month of feeling tired and weak and that's normal.

I think I've got things set up and under control at home, we'll find out! She's pretty good at following orders and the way she feels right now, she'll be pretty much just enjoying being home. The furry kids will be ecstatic. Kimber will be beside herself, she's Mommies dog for sure. Me, I'll do my very best!
Utah Bob #35998 Posted December 28, 2022 Posted December 28, 2022 It sounds like her experience pretty much mirrors mine, although it was a few days longer before I was able to get up on my own. After a few weeks, I was pretty much back to normal as far as activities. No pain and the eventual colostomy takedown was very smooth with a shorter hospital stay. I’m so glad she’s coming home. I came home just a few days before Christmas 2011.
Blackwater 53393 Posted December 28, 2022 Posted December 28, 2022 That is stellar news!! Just let it happen. Everyone recovers at their own pace. Encourage her but don’t push and help her to stay on the path!!
