Justakid Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 Beth's surgery was postponed by her Pulm Doc today. He came in for the pre-op check and didn't like her breathing. Admitted her to hospital for a bunch of tests and "breathing therapy" before he will clear her for surgery. When "dopler" was done on legs, they found a small blood clot in her lower right leg. They have her on blood thinners to try and disolve the clot. Also had CT scan of chest this afternoon but still waiting to hear results. I will keep you posted on Beth's condition as it develops. Thanks for your thoughts and prayers, Kurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nushka Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 Kurt, I am so sorry to hear about Beth's surgery being posponed. She seemed anxious to have it over with so that she would start to feel better. Since they found the clot and her breathing isn't up to par, I am glad that they will wait a while. Maybe while she is in the hospital they can get her meds straighted out so that she isn't in so much pain. Keeping you both in my prayers.

ginnyde Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 Kurt, It just seems Beth never gets a break. I hope they get the breathing and blood problems taken care of quickly so she can put this gall bladder thing behind her. Please tell her we are all thinking about her.

cindi o'h Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 Hey Beth. Tell your nurse, "I know you're not busy, say. Wouldja mind fluffing my pillow a little bit here?" Oh. And be sure to call her "sweetie". They like that.. it is very endearing. Tell her upfront if she takes good care of you, that you will be sure to leave a big tip! Throw your food on the floor if it tastes bad or is cold. And when she puts that O2 thingy on your finger, start to scream at her for hurting you!! You will be a favorite in no time! love, Cindi o'h Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAnn Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 Beth, You have my ongoing prayers and positive thoughts. You deserve a big break! I hate hospitals! I hope they get you under control soon! TAnn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
