    Dana, I'm so sorry to hear about your husband. I pray surgery will be successful.


    Today seems to be a bad day for DH's. Mine is in the hospital with DVTs. He works in Wisconsin and was to fly back to Oregon tomorrow for Thanksgiving. If ya'll could spare a positive thought.

    Oh Julianna - prayers for your DH too. Is there someone with him in Wisconsin or just all work acquaintances?


    Looks like DH will make it home tonight. Holding at 33 here and where he is 45 minutes away. Hamburgers cooking on the stove for him; bet he didn't get dinner.

    John out of surgery..they were able to save his eye....put iris back where it belongs....but no idea on vision, cornea or retina until later....the surgeon was not too optimistic about John's site...but miracles do happen!  They will do ultrasounds tomorrow and other tests. At least I'm breathing now!

    John is a Glazier and works with glass on big commercial jobs...he is (maybe "was") one of those crazy guys that hangs off of skyscrappers installing huge glass.

    The surgeon said it would take several surgeries and months of healing and being out of work...can't even tell you the stress I am feeling.

    Chickie I can imagine the stress u feel right now. The first eval from his Dr. sounds good tho, so that's a start and we pray for the rest. Chicke there is nothing u can do right now except be with your husband--try not to overload u'r head yet, Take one step at a time and just take care what is needed at the time. Remember for now the operation was a success.

    chick.......know exactly what DH does.......my husband worked hand in hand with that trade on the big buildings, walking on the outside on scaffolding.......he was a carpenter............many people have little respect for the trades, what they do, how hard they work, and the dangers that go along with the job...........


    I have a lot of respect for the tradesman.....hope John comes along ok, and his sight returns to what it was..........hugs..

    Chickee, hope John is on the mend. It is encouraging that they could save his eye. We will keep praying for continued healing and good news.


    Julianna, hope your DH is on the mend too and can make it home for Thanksgiving or you can go to him.


    To the rest of the Hoolies, hope the weekend is going well. I know a lot have posted about cold weather and snow. We are expecting wind chill of 19 and some possible flurries in the morning. That's kind of early for us to see those temps! Bbbrrrrrrrrrrrr!


    Stay warm all. Extra hugs and prayers to whoever needs them!

    Teka, hope you can come back soon. Take care.


    DH is out of the hospital on blood thinners. Has a check up on Monday. MD thought he could fly on Wednesday.


    I can not adequately express how much your support and caring mean to me. Bless you all.

    Hugs for you Miss Teka and Miss Jules and your families.

    John is resting comfortably...I duct taped him to the couch!  This is going to be a challenge...my hubby is one of those men that has to be doing something...he rarely just truly relaxes.  Got home and wanted to split wood...ugh.   Needless to say..me and the girls are going to sit on him if needed.  We are looking at about a year to complete several eye surgeries on him...no paychecks in this household any more....ugh again.  Cant even begin to deal with those issues yet.

    For the next week or so John needs 5 medications administered every 2 hours into his eye...long nights....and visits to the clinic daily.

    Did I mention I have a HUGE eye phobia?  I can't even go to the eye doctor without throwing up or passing out...they hate my visits.  So this "test" is going to cure or kill me. Keep sending prayers...much appreciated!

    Chickie, you can do this b/c 1. you love him and 2. you have hope. Think of this each time you do the drops. Now this is for you. Leave a bucket near the area that you will be administering the drops. It's easier to turn and barf, then run for the bathroom. If you feel faint get flat on the floor fast, then put your legs up at a 45 degrees at least. Stay there till flushing and symptoms pass. This will avoid injuries to you and allow your equilibrium to return to normal.

    The old thing of sitting with your head bent over between your knees is an "old wives tale".  AND should you faint all that happens is you fall forward on your face.-------calling
