NYNY & HHH for Brenda Nov 5

Brenda Hammond

Guest
I'm a few days late posting updates and I've got a few hundred unread messages to read too, hope I
can get to them all, but if not, congratulations to those who have lost or maintained and good luck
to any of you who have recorded a gain.

The last few days have been a bit hectic and unorganized. Through it all I've managed a maintain at
172 and also got in 4 days with exercise last week.

We had to go into Vancouver on the last ferry Monday night as DH had to check in at the hospital
really early in the morning yesterday for his surgery. We arrived at the hospital at 6:45, DH was
prepped for surgery and was in the OR at 8:15. He was in the OR for 3 hours, then spent 4 hours in
recovery, before going to this room, so in the meantime I spent almost 3 hours walking around North
Vancouver, shopping. God in some exercise and did some Christmas shopping at the same time, so I had
a productive day.

DH is doing well after his surgery, all went as they expected it to. He was given an epidural for
pain relief prior to surgery and it seems to be working well for him. He was a bit uncomfortable and
nauseous, but not in any "real" pain. They have him on antibiotics and will be keeping him in the
hospital for at least 7 days, but perhaps up to 10 or so.

I'm going to try to catch up on some of the posts before going off to work. Hope everyone has a
good week!

Firstly, great job on staying OP and getting in some activity!

Secondly, what good news about your DH, I know scary that can be. Just a few weeks ago my hubby was
hospitalized with chest pains and a zillion tests were performed. I have never been so scared
before, and he looked so very frail in that big bed with all the wires and machines.

Thirdly, where are you located? My DH moved here to Oklahoma from Vancouver Island five years ago,
and we are planning to move back there when the children are out of high school.

My best,

Holly

Hi Brenda glad to hear the surgury went well, They will probably err on the side of caution with him
after his infections from last time. Take care of yourself, and your son ( he's going to miss his
Daddy again) and please keep us informed. Michelle Ozzie in Switzerland

I 've been thinking about your DH and you, Brenda, and I 'm relieved to hear all went well. I 'l l
be sending good thoughts to both of you, but I 'm sure you 'll do fine! The epidural for pain relief
is great, my sister had it for a week after the major surgery she had in June. It made her feel very
comfortable and she didn't feel sick. I hope it has the same good effects on your DH.

What a relief to hear your DH's surgery went well.

I'm so pleased for you that you maintained this week and were able to get some exercise. Just keep
putting one foot in front of the other...

Maintaining is good Brenda! Priority goes to getting hubby through his surgery and again on the road
to recovery. I see it as a huge accomplishment that you have done so well through all of this!

Glad to hear the surgery went well, and hope hub continues to improve each day. Once again, please
keep us updated on his progress. You hang in there!!!

Thanks Fred. He's still a bit nauseous today and his heart rate has been very irregular so they've
put him on meds to control his heart rate and he's in ICU too as of this afternoon, so they can
watch him closely. Seems as though he's having an allergy to the epidural as well. He's itchy all
over, so they've given him something for that too. Hopefully things will look better tomorrow...

I think I'm just going to concentrate on maintaining for awhile, especially while all this stuff is
going on in our lives.

Thanks Holly. It is scary when one of your loved ones is ill. I almost lost my husband in the summer
when his appendectomy went bad and resulted in peritonitis due to a ruptured bowel. He spent 6 1/2
weeks in the hospital. I'm sure that this time his recovery will be much quicker and we're looking
forward to having him home soon.

I'm in Sechelt, near Vancouver and just across the water from Vancouver Island. I actually lived in
Nanaimo, on Vancouver Island for 6 years. I really liked it there, but decided eventually to move
back home closer to my family (parents, brothers and sister).

Thanks Nathalie. Things with DH are a little different today than yesterday as I mentioned in my
reply to Fred. I spoke with DH earlier and he is still feeling quite bad, but he's hoping that he'll
begin to feel a better before too long.

Thanks Elaine. Surgery did go well, but there have been a few little complications since. I'm hoping
things will turn the corner and be better soon.
