so i am typing this sans right hand middle finger. bear w any spelling errors
this will be short - i've had avirus since friday --- sore throat, achy, tummy icky, tired. doc said stay home. don't go to GM's at the rehab.
was supposed to go to my cousin Chrissy's 40th birthday surprise party and am really bummed that i was feeling like heck for the past few days
sort of felt better around 5pm and started trying to get ready for my cousin Kathy and friends Maryann and Lori to come over to help declutter/paint on m,onday
so i wound up - with cousin michael - mopping the kitchen walls and ceiling to get ready to paint
at 6pm i took GM;s rack of paints off the backhall door and began to place them in the backhall
at that point the rogue bbq utensil attacked me
so i am basicallty screwed come painting and cleaning time tomorrow --- right now the lidocaine is wearing off of my finger and let me tell you, i am feeling it and it's NOT great
poor knuckle,.
anyway
on the GM front - took her to the surgeon on thursday and there's no infection - she is healing superbly
quoth the doctor:
"i am incredibly amazed at how far ahead of schedule you are in your recovery"
and he called her a miracle
so she's doing very well - he took most of her sutures out at that point and she has 3 or 4 to be removed this week or so.
OH!! and he said that it WAS NOT twisted intestines (or "volvulus") --- it was ruptured diverticulitis and abcessed colon.,, the radiologist READ THE CAT SCAN wrong on 12/18 (and the week before, the person reading the CAT scan said there was only a "mild case of diverticulitis - nothing to be concerned about")
NICE, huh?
GM will probably be coming home on fri or saturday ---- depending on when medicare decides she's had enough
that said.
i am going to attempt to fall asleep before my knuckle is fully de-anesthetized
Whatchoosayin'?? (7 yapped)
that sucks about your knuckle. it sounds hugely painful. hope it heals up quickly.
on the gm front, wow! so glad she's doing better. that is really great news!

I'm not really the litigious sort, but considering that GM had to endure major,life threatening surgery, as well as a life altering outcome, I hope you are at least going to file a complaint with your state. Someone needs to look into a screw-up of that magnitude.
Glad to hear GM is doing so well. She really is a trooper.

This combination drug product is intended as a treatment for tension headache.
It consists of a fixed combination of butalbital, acetaminophen, and caffeine. The role each component plays in the relief of the complex of symptoms known as tension headache is incompletely understood.
