My sister is a 'Saint', she spent some time this past weekend getting the decorations and tree up. Mind you it's not as festive as it has been in years past but at least the decorations are up. I'm a bit bummed about the holiday this year. I've done nothing. I've purchased not one gift. Not one! I know I will get out and get a few but this Dr appointment today threw a monkey wrench into things.
Besides being scared to death about what the next step is, it has more then likely taken my recovery time and pushed it out even further. I thought maybe the numbness would get better, but to be honest I think it's getting worse. The past several nights I've woken up to soreness in my ankle and my thigh. I couldn't lay there so I'd have to get up and walk around. I have no idea what is in store, but based on my primary doctor it appears more surgery. Another stay in the hospital. Trust me I want to get better, but I have a fear of being under and this time it is no different.
My appointment is at 5 pm, and no doubt I was pushed in for today. That in itself is a bit scary. Good vibes sent my way would be appreciated. I know I've asked for a ton, but ....... thanks :) I'll definitely stop by later and give an update... 'les of course they force me to the hospital right away.
Hugs

Donna ~ Hugs & lots of prayers are being sent your way. There's no shame in fearing the unknown, but my prayers are that you won't have to deal with the unknown much longer. How wonderful your sister was able to get your tree up and decorated! Bless her heart! ... and Bless your heart! Hang in there ... things will get better.
Peace,
Linda (ILBELLE)
You'll do just fine, Donna. Keep us posted!
I can certainly understand your fears, concerns, and uncertainty these days, you have been on quite a journey. But you have done SO WELL, and you are in good hands, and you will continue to do well. Keeping you in my prayers dear lady ... hang in there. Once you turn that corner, the sun will shine brighter! But remember ... you've come a long, long way and have done so well!

Pretty tree..my bil had something wrong with his legs after having triple bypass, but he is fine now. that was several years ago.
I think medication helped him.
Try not to worry, sometimes things are not as bad as they seem.
And have a way of working out.
Be kind to yourself and try not to stress. I know your family will understand. I hope you have a good dr. visit and get some time to enjoy the holiday season.
Love, Cassie
Ask away Donna, early treatment is good so I am glad they are getting you in quickly. I think everyone will understand you lack of doing shopping and you have already given them the best gift by just being here. Take care.
What a nice sister to have ...thought and prayers coming your way Donna
Keep us updated when you have the chance.

That would be awesome! Can you imagine? LOL!
HUGS!
Good Vibes I am sending your way! I will go Christmas shopping for you if you want! Linda

My thoughts are with you. Be well, sweetie.
You have been through some tough times as of late and your body is taking the time it needs to heal. My positive thoughts and prayers will always go up for you my friend. Keep your positive thoughts flowing. Take care,
Katie
P.S. Were heading to Toronto Thursday morning.....early!
Oh Donna,
You know you are in my thoughts & prayers. Please let us know..... Hugs being sent your way!!!!
Donna,
I know that i am just another fuddy duddy -Disabled Veteran, but someday you will realize that we all have priorities as the Bible says. Christmas and the goofy traditions that mankind has dreamed up are not even scriptural, so why get upset at outwards appearances?? We won't even have a tree this year and ALL I want is a clean house with love in it.
I hope you take this comment the right way.

Dear Donna
It goes without saying that I will keep you in my prayers. I know all will go well because you are a fighter.
I wouldn't worry about presents as your good health is more important than those this year.
Your tree is beautiful.
Thinking of you and waiting to hear how you get on.
Hugs
Jeanie
I've been sending you good vibes all along, but I just sent you an extra-large dose. ;)
Hugs!
Donna, I'm so sorry to hear you're still suffering. I'm sending good vibes and prayers that the doctor can do something to help the pains in your leg and foot go. I hope the appointment goes well. Your tree looks pretty and I'm sure the family will understand that you can't rush out buying presents this year. Just take it easy till you're mended, that'll be the best present for your family and us. Jeannette xx
Always, always sending good thoughts, vibes and prayers your way, my friend. Love you....
This is a tough time of year to be down. It's hard enough getting ready for the holidays when you are hale and hearty, let alone recovering from major surgery! I'm glad your sister helped you out with the decorations...
I still have my fingers crossed that you don't have to do another surgery. I'm like you.. the going under always scares the snot out of me. Still, it sounds like you have good docs and they are on top of things.
Always good to see an update from you.
Sending good thoughts, vibes...and always keeping you in my prayers...
I just love your tree..so pretty...mine is still in the attic..LOL!
Hugs
Terri

That was very sweet of your sister. Keeping you in my prayers.. *M*

Oops....forgot to say what a great sister you have. You have an awesome family. Hugs, Maria
Your tree looks great! We all need a few "Saints" in our lives to help us along, don't we? Always sending good vibes your way but I sent along prayers and talked to a few "Angels" too, hope you don't mind. Sending love and hugs your way.
Debbie
Well darnit here I thought you were doing so good. Now you need more work. Man you're just trouble aren't you. Well I hope that things work out well and you have all my prayers always. I want you better.
That was sweet of your sister to come put that up for you. I wouldn't worry about presents I think your family will look at your still being around with them as their best gift that they can get.
We all forget what Christmas is REALLY about.
Lots of luck and Hugs, Chrissie

Always Special Thoughts.... :)
My dear friend, I've been praying for you and your recovery. There is so much pain and sorrow this holiday season its almost unbearable. Gifts mean nothing without person you love. So take care of yourself theres alot of people that love you. Waiting for word. Thanks to your Sister for being so kind to jazz up your place for Christmas.
I'll bet that the only thing your family wants for Christmas from you is recovery. Take care of yourself Donna and please let us know what's going on. BTW your tree is pretty.
