Mimi, hugs and good vibes for both of you.

Mimi, my thoughts are with you. What a horrible ordeal to go through.

Mom is still in the hospital, day 13. Personally. I am beginning to wonder if they took out too much of her lung...and they didn't take as much as they wanted to in the first place. Emphysema is a huge complicating factor - they were "pretty sure" her lungs could handle the surgery but we have to wonder. Then again, what choice did they have? Lung cancer is so aggressive...

[Biciclista]

ah {{{{Catrin}}}}, I'm so sorry.. I can't imagine removing lung tissue from a woman with emphysema.
Donald is on day 21 in the hospital and he's got a tube down his throat from another 5 hour surgery. I am hoping they got the leak stopped. The anesthesiologist couldn't sedate him the way he wanted because of his lack of clotting factor... they've been giving him anticoagulants 3 times a day for 3 weeks. DUH... They're going to wake him up this morning.

They did a pulmonary test prior to the surgery to determine the odds of her lungs being able to handle it...but of course "tests" aren't the real thing.

I am so sorry to hear about Donald, hang in there! (((Mimi & Donald)))

Oh, and apparently I've something called "degenerative disc disease" in my neck - sounds like osteoarthritis to me - that my whiplash of a month ago apparently fired ip. Well, compared with my Mom, Donald, several women in my church with very serious health problems, I can't complain.

[Biciclista]

yes you can complain. If it's any help, i too have some of that degenerative disc disease. Work on your posture and it won't get much worse. i think i was in my 40's when i got that diagnosis. it is pretty normal i think.

Catrin, I really hope your mother pulls through!!
