In the hospital

Oh so sorry
Eric, I am so sorry. I had one and it was a stinking pain in the patootie. Yes, amuse yourself by harassing the nurses. They will probably give you coumadin, which is warfarin which is rat poison! They veeerrrryyyy reluctantly own up to it being the same thing, since they don't want their patients thinking that they are being given rat poison. But throw that out there and watch their faces.... Get better soon!

Sorry to hear of your hospitalization, but I am pleased that you are keeping your great sense of humor about it all. Hoping for a quick release from the hospital for you.

Oh, Man
Hey, Eric

I had my computer crash and we put together a patch work solution and am just getting logged in...I wondered why I had not seen you around for a couple of days.

What a drag...sorry you had to go to the hopspital...you'll have to tell me how you found out about this and needed to go.

How long are you going to be in?
What hospital are you in?
Can I come by and see you? Let me know if you do, I don't want to impose and I know the hospital is not the first place we would like to say hello, but I wanted to support you if you want some company - would not stay long. You let me know.

Careful with those nurses...I've had a few that are plain right mean

PM me if you want me to stop by - I would need to know how to ask for you, what room etc.

P.S. ead my post about finding humor, Life on the outside is also Hell on Wheels

Hi Eric,no wonder I didn't
Hi Eric,no wonder I didn't see you on board these couple of days.Sorry to hear about the clot.Anyway just hope you will be out of hospital soon before you harass the nurses too much:)Take care.Please show up if you can,so we will stop worrying about you too much.

Thoughts and Prayers
Eric so very sorry to hear that you are in the hospital. Just consider it a stayvacation. You have your own personal room, catered meals, maid service, and constant interruptions for vitals. What more could you want?? Just kidding...hope you are doing good and will soon be out of the hospital and back at home. We will keep you in our thoughts and in our prayers. Try not to give the nurses too much trouble. Remember they have the needles.
Hugs,
Anna

do they have those fun
do they have those fun vibrating socks on you?

Shysters!
Eric, i'm so sorry you have a blood clot! Was this caused by the erbitux? That stuff sounds so terribly nasty! I hope you don't have to endure it for much longer, either way.

I'm just glad they found the clot before any major damage was done, and i hope you're released before you have to eat too much of that hospital cardboard!

Hugs,
Krista

The socks!
I had to comment, Patti! I had almost forgotten about those weird socks! The resection surgery was the first surgery of any kind i'd ever had. No one had warned me about those socks! When i was awakening from my anesthetic stupor, i remember thinking that my cat was at the foot of the bed kneeding my legs. I knew i was in the hospital, but it didn't seem too odd to me that my cat was there on the bed (i have three cats, but i was certain my male, Malachi, was there)! It actually took a long time before i realized it wasn't a cat, but compression socks. I can tell many a strange story about that first experience in the hospital. I'm almost entirely tolerant of verced, and remember all of my procedures where i wasn't completely knocked out, and the immediate awakening of the ones where i was knocked out. I saw the outline of pink elephants above my Mother's head, and many other whacked out things. Don't worry, i don't see them now!

Sorry Eric! I didn't mean to steal your post! But since you are in the hospital, and probably getting some of the best mind altering medications offered, perhaps you'll find my story a little amusing? You do have a wonderful attitude, and i admire that very much!

Get sprung soon!
