It just gets better and better....

You couldn't have been running very fast, TeeCee, I would have been wheezing like an asthmatic camel. And running like a drunk cow on roller skates.

 

Tie her to the bed if she insists on doing things beyond the call of duty. She's just come through major surgery, for crying out loud.
Glad to hear the positives.
She couldn't possibly be in a better place at the minute. After what Diane's just been through, it's encouraging you are both still positive.
Til tomorrow, with any luck.
Happy thoughts to you both.

 

:-D At least someone's having fun!

 

Thank you for the update Tim. Glad that Diane is getting the best of care. Rest is the most important at this time for recovery. Please tell Diane that my thoughts and well wishes are with her.

 

Hi Tim thanks for the update Positive thoughts are still going your way! :wave I am sooo glad things went well.. Sounds like she is doing good with the morphine drip. That is good... I had that once, and I had an allergy to it :-o So, I am sooo glad she is doing so much better.....
We will keep the positive thoughts coming your way, and I am so sorry about your horse... I think you are right, this may be the best place for her during this sad time..... Hope you have a good night's sleep, and take care

 

Joey! It is hard to run thru snow to catch a Leprechaun! :-D

I'll get ya yet tho! :-D

 

Great to hear things went well. Now, while she's goofy, is a good time to get her to agree to all those things you've always wanted. Make sure you get it in writing though. :-D

Did you manage to find some cake. Of course, you could always make some... anyone got a recipe? rolleyes

PS Very sad about old Ned. Sorry to hear that.

 

TimW posted one earlier in this thread, just go back page by page and look for the 5-minute brownies recipe.

I gave it to all my friends and they love it.

 

I hope things are going well, Tim, do keep us posted when ya can..
We are sending tons of good thoughts to you and Dianne.. Hang in there, buddy.. :wave

Go ahead, and have some more cake. You need your strength!

Great idea, Mimsy, I think he can handle that too.. :-D

 

If they loved the recipe, they're going to go nuts about the brownies!!!
roflmao Ha ha ha. That's so good. I don't know how I do it. Ha ha ha.
Don't clap - just throw money - paper money preferred - it's easier to carry. :-D

 

Glad to hear it went well...hope things stay on the upswing for you!!

Roger

 

Tim, I am so glad to hear that things are going better, I have faith she is going to be fine, she has tons of love and support!!! Keeping all of you in my prayers..

Oh, and a good brownie helps with ANYTHING!

 

Tim, Great to hear that Diane is pulling through. Good news about the surgery being straightforward! Sorry about the horse not making it, those critters can really grow on you if you're not careful, which is a drag 'cause they can get heavy! :-D

Anyway, take care, get lots of rest, and keep us posted!

That's great to hear, it's the best you could hope for.

 

Excellent news Tim! Made my day to hear that. :-D

 

LOL @ 'tube fell out' TimW! I guess she likes 'hot stuff' as that burns coming out! Owww! I'm glad everything's awright!

 

I had a nice one last time. There she was with a throat light shining her beams on me while gently pushing a metal rod in me! Damn man, that was a nurse!!!:-D.

 

Are you sure that tube didn't get a little help from her *smiles* Just remind Diane that she will end up back in the hospital if she doesn't take it easy. Hope you both are able to get some rest now, great news at her being home. Smiles and warm wishes to both of you.

 

Glad to hear it went well Tim. Best wishes to your wife on a speedy recovery.

 

Great to hear that Diane is well enough to go home. Here's hoping for a speedy recovery!!

Knock her out with the pills Tim, so you'll both get some rest and :zzz :zzz

 

Good to hear that Diane is doing well. Now for you both to get some long overdue rest. Thinking of you both.

 

Very glad to hear that news, Tim. It's the next few weeks that are critical in Diane's recovery. So MAKE her take it easy until she's out of danger of infections. Fatigue can be a factor, too. She and you MUST get some rest. She has to let her body recover from this ordeal. Like Cat says, if she won't take it easy, she'll end up right back in hospital.
Is that what she wants......? Cos that's what'll happen.
Best wishes and good luck in your efforts to make her take some much needed rest.

 

Good work Tim. Excellent news.
Now to throw a slight possible spanner into the advice arena. rolleyes
I'm not a doctor or any kind of health carer, so this is a question only.
While rest is great for recovery, is it not true that feeling good about life and having high morale is also good for recovery? If so, what happens if someone who has undergone surgery would feel better and have higher morale if they were able to be a bit active - there are people like that, I think (I'm definitely NOT one! At least, I don't think I would be).
Is it possible that such a person would be better to at least return to a bit of normality, even if it meant resting a little less? :confused

 

Hehehe, everyone here is talking about rest, :-D If Diane is anything like my mum was, that's the last thing she would be thinking about! Hey, 8 days after her quad, there she was tending to her garden.

 

Great news Tim!! I am glad she can return home now

 

Hi - I have been keeping up with this thread and I am so happy that Diane is doing so well....I see that it will be hard for you TimW to keep "your good woman down!!"
Although I have not posted before this I would like you both to know that both of you have been in my prayers......

 

Hi there, read just enough to catch up and know Diane is home, what a relief huh? so glad it all went well.

 

Great news Tim! The way you write about her, headstrong and determined to do everything back to normal, you might want to make use of one of your horse's pill shooters! :-D :eek roflmao

 

Glad to hear she is home. Best place for her. I do hope she rests when her body tells her she needs to.

 

Hmm, mebbe call Maids 'R Us? rolleyes

 

Hi Tim, that is good news, just have to make her rest. She may be ready in mind, but not the body! She just got out of the Hospital, and I am sure she doesn't want to go back .... Just wait on her hand and foot, I am sure she will get used to that ! roflmao

She has got to take it easy, and the only thing I know of " as tolerated " requires a nice soft pillow, and a nice cozy couch! :zzz

All the best to you both!!! :-D

 

Darn!! Just a little too far away. So sorry!!! rolleyes

 

Humm, now I know you have horses so does this light housekeeping require a shovel?

 

Cheers on the good news TimW.
That light housekeeping probably doesn't include cleaning up any cake crumbs I would suspect.

 

I doubt if there would be any cake crumbs left! roflmao !

 

I think that's what lbmest was getting at.

I guess I can be a little obtuse at times but in a TimW thread, that is expected.:-D

 

You have to be very clever to be obtuse. That means you have more than 90 degrees!
PS I think you also qualify, Joey off the street (but I get it)!
PPS BTW Tim, I suggest that while you're wife's out of action, you stay away from NJ!!!

That's why I said a little.

Where did you dig that up from GCW?roflmaoroflmaoroflmao

 

I've been cruising around MG Website looking for info on what I have to do to move a HDD with XP into another computer. There it was! :-D

 

How's things going? Hope you found some help at home and Diane is on the heal.
