"saveliberty" is Hospitalized (Update from saveliberty at #1568)

Hi All,

I just received an e-mail from "saveliberty" advising me she has been hospitalized. The cause as she wrote was:

"I have a significant, but benign tumor near my ear that is pushing against a nerve (which hemorrhaged). It sounds bad but I have excellent care."

It certainly does sound serious to me, even though saveliberty said she was being well cared for. She did want me to let her FRiends here know of her condition. When I get further info, I will post it.

In the mean time, if you could add saveliberty to your prayers, I know she would be comforted by that.

saveliberty is often the Threadmistress, and I am but a poster. So, if you all could perhaps place saveliberty's situation in the proper locations, I would be very grateful. [Or Moderators, if you are reading this.]

Get well soon, saveliberty!

(((Hugs))) all around.

I am taking it easy this morning. I wasn’t up for morning Mass, but I will go on a short walk with Dad when he gets back. He is taking a real walk before we do a short hop up and down the street.

I had two whole cups of coffee this morning, which I enjoyed, but I had to get used to the post coffee jitters. Heh. I am not used to having that much.

I am still contacting friends to let them know what’s going on. I feel bad for doing it, because they have to hear it all at once and that makes it harder, but they need to know and in the end, they see that it’s big news, but dealable.

Yay SL, you got plugged in! (Keep yer hands off SL's plug, Obama!) ;-)

Good also to hear you are being treated at Mass General because that should surely ease your parents' mind quite a bit. They'll fix you up in no time.

How did you know there was a problem to seek medical care in the first place - i.e., what were your symptoms? Was it the numbness?

Well, if you were a righthander & are having to write with your left hand temporarily until the nerves get unpinched, let me be the first to say: welcome to the lefthanders' club! You know what they say, thanks to the bilateral assymetry of the brain, only we lefties are really 'right' in the head, so you may not ever want to go back. ;-)

[Alamo-Girl]

Thank you so much for keeping us informed! Prayers continue...

Morning, save. [Nearly afternoon!] Thanks for the morning update. Two things it brought to mind.

You are getting addicted to coffee! You've gone from one cup, to one and a half cups, and now you have had two whole cups. At this rate you might actually have three cups by week's end. Not to worry, I know a good rehab facility. They brought me down to 24 cups a day from twice that amount. 8)

And now I know where the term “hopping mad” comes from. 8)

Enjoy your day, “Hoppy”.

Thanks, leilani!

I had been experiencing severe vertigo a handful of times over the past year. At my age, that is not out of the ordinary for women, so no one knew.

Then with this most recent event, I had unsteadiness on my feet, symptoms like food poisoning, and numbness on my right.

The other symptoms seemed to go away, but the numbness got worse and I went to the ER, where they found the hemorrhage and then when I was transferred to Mass General, they found the tumor.

:) I still have mobility on my right - it’s just not normal yet. But I am optimistic as my foot is getting better and my arm is not quite what it was yesterday.

I just came back from a little walk with Dad. He took his real walk first and then came back and went a ways with me.

LOL

No jumping up and down yet, FOXY!

“Post coffee jitters” - that’s why I don’t drink coffee. The rest of my family love’s coffee, the stronger the better. They can’t figure out what happened to my coffee gene. Ha.

Keeping you and your family in prayer. Praying for your medical team and all those tending your health needs. God bless.

Prayers up for saveliberty and family.

Notre père, qui êtes aux cieux!
Que votre nom soit sanctificié. Que votre règne vienne.
Que votre volonté soit faite, sur la terre comme au ciel.
Donnez-nous aujourd'hui notre poindre ce jour.
Pardonnez-nous nos offenses, comme nous pardonnons aussi a ceux, qui nous ont offensés,
et ne nous soumetez pas à la tentation, mais délivrez-nous du mal.
Car c'est à toi qu'appartiènne, le régne, la puissance et la gloire, pour les siècles des siècles.
Amen.

Je vous salue, Marie, pleine de grâces,
le Seigneur est avec vous, vous êtes bénie entre toutes les femmes,
et Jésus le fruit de vos entrailles est béni.
Sainte Marie, Mère de Dieu, priez pour nous pauvres pécheurs,
maintenant, et à l'heure de notre mort. Ainsi-soit-il.

Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!
(Keep the Faith, my friends! We are the saviors of the Republic! Now and Forever!)

Thank you!

Today was a slow, but good day. I did manage a two hour excursion with Mom and Dad to the stores, and that went fine.

I am working through the unsteadiness. Of course, I can always be sneaky and take smaller steps, but really, where would the fun be then? LOL

[saveliberty]

I forgot to add that Dad is cooking burgers on the grill. Who is coming? :)

[SE Mom]

(((save))) Keeping you in my prayers every day.

It’s hard to find the balance between resting and pushing yourself so you can get better.

[luvie]

It’s good to hear from you and know that you are continuing
to improve. God be with you and your “baby steps”!

[defconw]

Me and Cibbie. Love to you.

“I forgot to add that Dad is cooking burgers on the grill. Who is coming? :)”

Tell Dad to make it a 3/4 pounder this time, medium-well, bacon, cheese, lettuce, two slices tomato, mayo, ketchup, mustard - onion rings on the side, please.

[saveliberty]

LOL

[LonePalm]

Where are you?

I'm out in Amityville with my fiance, SweetiePalm.

We are in Massachusetts. Sparko got the deluxe burger with onion rings.

"At my age, that is not out of the ordinary..."

save, I thought you were barely 21! Am I wrong?

[prairiebreeze]

SL, bless your heart, I’m keeping you in my prayers. Foxfanvox, thanks for the thread.
