I hope that she is ok. When I met with my hip surgeon Friday, he said it was a 90 minute surgery and that you only spend 2 nights in the hospital and then you go home. I was hoping to get her feedback
She is in my prayers

Melissa-- it's possible that it's a little more complicated when you are Sally's age... but I really don't know. We will just have to keep her in our prayers and try to be patient. I have her email address in my older computer, but it's not working right now. (sad face) Maybe someone else has it. I was sure I had moved it over, but apparently not. Ahhh-- maybe I can see on facebook.
Just sent her a FB message... but I'll be gone shopping for several hours (country bumpkin that shops every two weeks for groceries and all). If she sees it, she will know that everyone on here is concerned. Again, she may not feel like doing computer things even though she loves us.Last edited by Susie*Bee; 07-15-2013, 12:08 PM.71 and plugging along... but having some problems

Sorry guys. I tried using the computer a few days ago, but found it extremely difficult because I couldn't sit up. The meds mess with my brain also. I did post on Face book though, so Suzie must have missed that.
Thanks for all of your prayers and concern. I spent three days in the hospital and have been sleeping, eating and taking pain meds ever since and the anti-nausea meds and stool softeners and miralax. You all know the drill. I graduated today from my walker to a cane and in a week or so hope to be able to get in the car and go to the Dr's office to sit and wait. Haha!
More later when I can sit longer.

Yes, it's great to hear from you Sally! Now I'm going to go hunt on facebook, because I've been watching. Sheesh! I'm so sorry, everyone!
Sally-- I just looked on FB and I couldn't find anything after your post on July 6th... Maybe it didn't post correctly or maybe I'm just missing it. It doesn't matter. We are just so happy to hear from you! (BIG SMILE!)Last edited by Susie*Bee; 07-19-2013, 02:33 PM.71 and plugging along... but having some problems
