We have Turnaround
So many good signs! They took the dialysis hook-ups out of Tom's neck because his kidneys are doing so well on their own he won't need it again. The nurse could finally give him a shave because he doesn't need the blood thinner for the embolism threat. Looking more like himself, if a bit less a la mode! His white cell count is down so today he is having another visit to the OR to clean the leg again, but this time the plastic surgeons will be there ready to work their magic with the grafting. This means the doctors are hopeful that they will find the leg muscle healthy enough to support new skin. And the pain had diminished somewhat. Tom is still very logy with morphine but I sense upbeat. So let the healing begin. Enchallah!

Bravo Tom (and Sue) hang in there a little more, we are holding your virtual hand...
ReplyDeleteMuch Love All the manices
Sounds like you're as tough as I would have expected, Tom. Ann and I are thinking of you every day (and I particularly as I ride my bike now more slowly around the city). Looking forward to a drink at the bar together when all of this is behind you. To your speedy return!

Tom, we are not only expecting you to attend
ReplyDeleteour long overdue "meet your neighbor" party,
but also to dance....
So happy that things are improving and we are
so grateful for the news posted by your wonderful blogger, Sue.
Best, Carl and Renee
Hey Tom, sounds like you will be home soon. I know how strong you are and have always been. I am sure the bus itself is so damaged that it will be out of service forever. Looking forward to seeing you soon and wishing you the very best, as always, Consuelo and Walter Mack
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear it. we have all been worried about you.

Feel better. We are all rooting for you. Before you know it you will be back on your bike. Nick Akerman, Lisa Helmrich, and Kira and Lily
ReplyDeleteDear Sue and Tom,
ReplyDeleteThree cheers it's starting to sound better! I'll be in the city Wed, Thurs and Friday and ready to run any errands you can think of- even pizza to the hospital. Call my cell-917-733-8553. I'd love to help. This brings all our love and prayers.
