Calling Vegasangel....

How's it going down there? Did you have your test to see what's going on with you?

Did bearded have his surgery yet? How is he doing?

Curious minds want to know!:001_smile:

Wow, sounds like most everyone is doing well, thanks for the updates. They say the day after surgery is usually the worst, so hopefully Bearded will feel much better tomorrow.

Thanks Susan, I hope he is definitely feeling better tomorrow as we have to drive home - and if I do all the driving, it will take us longer than 6 hours as I don't tend to drive as fast as Bearded. However, if he's feeling bad, he'll sleep and I can drive at whatever speed I feel comfortable!

I'm sorry to hear that he took a turn for the worse. The photos showed him looking well. Guess he just overdid it the first day. Actually I was surprised to see him looking so well that quickly. Don't know what causes the nausea, but hope they got that under control. I'm a little concerned about developing stomach issues (nausea and such) as I don't have any acid or similar problems now, and don't want to develop any after surgery. That's why I wait to see how everyone does. Glad to hear that Rosey is doing well; hopefully she didn't have your DF's issues, or did she? Hope he's doing better soon.

It's nice that you're getting to meet everyone! I hope bearded is over the worst of it and starts feeling great again.

Thanks for keeping us updated!

If he ever decides to wake up and stay awake for any length of time, I'll be able to find out. They did take out his IV today (left the stint) and he passed the blue dye test so that is a good thing.

Thanks for the thoughts!

I am doing well!! I am a little tired, drinking fluids, sleeping and all but other than that doing well!

They leave the stint in so in case something is needed intravenously they can do it quick....nothing else and it is not painful at all.

I have no engery so I am signing off. FOR NOW

/ I hope they take the stent out before you go home, right?

Glad to hear you are feeling better Bob, I know you will feel better just being home. I know VA will take good care of you. I will talk to you both later tomorrow. Big hugs to you both.

Yes, they will take it out tomorrow after the last leak test. Good thing they left it in as he needed to have more anti nauseau medicine, pain medicine and something for a fever - he is running a 100 fever. I ran a fever one night too - so am hoping it breaks and is gone in the morning.

Where did you post pictures?

Vegas and Bob, I had a ton of problems with nausea while I was at the hospital as well. All I wanted to do was sleep, and when they made me get up to walk, usually I ended up vomiting. So, I feel for Bob 100%. The good news is, you do get past it.

Daisy, go to Vegas' profile and you will find the album with the pictures there.

Thanks Susan. He is doing better today - he was up about every hour all night long, but didn't vomit, thank goodness. He is tired today and sore and wants the drainage bag out. He's antsy so I think he's feeling a bit better.

Soon2BSkinny and Roseyandmusic left this morning about 7:30 so am sure they'll be posting soon. Both looked good!

We're supposed to head home today sometime too - hoping we're able to as I am supposed to go to work tomorrow morning.

I can't wait til you get home from work. I sent you a pm too. I booked my flight. I hope you're really okay with this.

I really can't wait. It's been years since I have been anywhere besides Arizona. I really hope you and Bearded were not just kidding about letting a perfect stranger stay with you.

You're going to have to clue me in on what to bring as far as clothes go, etc. I am not sure what we will be doing.

We weren't kidding and you're not a perfect stranger. It's hotter than hades here, so bring cool clothes - lightweight - maybe one nice outfit if we're able to get into a show ... we'll figure out everything else once you're here --
