All Work and No Pay


Thank you all again for your well wishes.  Jimmy is home and doing fantastic.  He came home yesterday afternoon, and has still got a drain and a g-tube (a feeding tube directly in his abdomen) in place, along with some braces on either side of his incision.  So I'm getting lots of practice in even though I didn't have clinicals this week because of the ice storm.  He's also on Lovenox, which is an anticoagulant that is given by injection.  He's so lucky he's got a nurse (well, almost) for a wife.  Although, he might argue with you on that. . . . .

I wish I had gotten some posts ready to go prior to the surgery, so that I had something ready for you guys, but I didn't think that far ahead, unfortunately.  I'm working on getting some new outfit photos ready along with some other posts. Thanks for sticking it out with me. 

More to come soon. . . .

Winter Weather Upsets


Thank you all for your thoughts/prayers/vibes sent our way today.  We made it to the hospital just fine (left home at about 5:30, and got there at 6:20) this morning.  We actually made it all the way to pre-op, had Jimmy gowned up and everything (luckily they hadn't started his IV yet!), when one of the nurses came in to tell us that three surgeons called in today due to the weather, and of course, one of them was Jimmy's.  So the surgery is rescheduled for Thursday at noon. 
So we will still need all those good thoughts!
