cindi o'h Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 friends. Spent the night in the ER. Couldn't breathe. I struggled at home for the past 3 days or so, not really knowing what was going on and hoping I would come out of it. Last night my breathing was so loud and labored and finally I thought, this is stupid. I just had lung surgery and what I have been doing hasn't been working. I need help. Nice people there. That was the first time at this community hospital. I told them that I was new to town. The doc gave me a prednisone burst 60mg., three nebulizers, and all the diagnostics. What was most impressive, was his courage. He was a young man, 46 years old. He wrote down his name and the name of his wife on a 2X2 steriile gauze sponge packet along with their home phone number. He said that he was having a bonfire at his house on Friday, but because of my asthma, that wouldn't be fitting for me to join this party. He said that he is well connected in town and volunteered to introduce me around. He said that they have lots of get togethers at their house and would like for me to come. Now is that sweet or what? I have never heard of such a thing. I was stunned by this gesture. Most people find out how sick I am and run the other way. This man is a human being who has put on the armor of God. I am still in awe. feeling better after a few hours of sleep. As far as the computer goes...I threatened it with the geek squad and it started to behave a bit better. The geek squad is coming to my place to get me setup for broadband as soon as I buy a printer that they can set up at the same time. Big ticket items for me. Will let you all know how this encounter with the doc turns out. Of course I will be calling them. You don't say no when an angel comes to help you! love, Cindi o'h Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.C. Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 Cindi, I'm sure that the doctor heard about your Pub and will keep you busy serving at his bar. You are in good hands in this new town. Love and take care. J.C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don M Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 Cindi: it sounds like they took real good care of you at the ER. I hope the athsma leaves you alone for a while now. Most of my family members have athsma. I guess I am lucky I nver got it. I would hate to deal with an athshma attack as an one-lunger.

Ry Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 You are the only person I know that can go to the ER and come out with a phone number and party invitation. Were you wearing your bikini???? Glad you got some help and are feeling better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LynneH Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 They were blindsided again by your charm, and they don't even know what hit them! He's probably explaining to his wife about the new Cindi in his life! We may have to keep you chained up if you keep this up. I'm continually amazed by your wonderful spirit!

CharlieD Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 Cindi, Turned on the old charm, didn't ya girl? You are such a Tart. Glad things turned out well my friend. You go girl! CharlieD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leslie221 Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 Soooo glad you are feeling better today. That must have been kind of scary, as well as a hassle. What a cool doctor! Maybe all the asthma crud the last few days had to happen to put you in each other's paths! I'll bet this is the start of a really nice friendship for both of you! Can't tell you to serpentine, 'cause you already did! So, were you wearing your bikini? Leslie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patkid Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 Cindi!!! What an adventure. You have a knack for finding the best doctors. You deserve them. I think it is Karma. What goes around comes around and only get what you give. We love you. Stay strong and keep us posted. Brian and Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimmek Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 Cindi Thats awesome about the doc and yes totally unhard of. Just goes to show there are still some good ones around. Really glad he found you. This good be just the opportunity for you in your new home. Maybe he has a nice single doc friend too!!! Are you breathing better today? From the past expereince with mom there have been a few times where we had to do the burst 2 times back to back to see results, so be sure to let your doc know of this is not working. Prednisone usually shows fairly quick results. Take care L, KIm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nushka Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 Cindi, I would love to sit in the corner (far corner) and watch you charm your snakes. It has to be the answer to why you are always able to charm anyone that comes in contact with you. You deserve all of this attention. I am so glad you made have made a new friend in your new neighborhood. Hope you feel better by now. Nina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maryanne Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 What is it with you. Everytime you have lemons you always come out with lemonaide. You are incredible when it comes to meeting the right Docs. They all seem to be drawn to you. You are such a special lady... You certainly atract the right doctors.. Anyway, I am glad you are feeling better. And don't mess around and play doctor, if something does not jive, get it checked out right away. Maybe next time you will meet a nice single man in the ER instead of awesome docs. Both would be good I hope you take the Doc up on his invitation. You may meet some really good friends you don't even know you have yet. Do you believe in fate. take care my friend, Maryanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shineladysue Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 Cindi, You are always full of surprises. We never know what you will be up to next, but one thing we can be sure of is that you will touch the heart of everyone you meet. You're the best Cindi. Hope you are feeling better. The story about the doctor really helps to restore my faith in people, but I do hope your next visit with him will be on a happier occasion..

bunny Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 getting the doctor's digits in the ER...NICE. now, seriously, it sounds like a warm, genuine gesture from a good doc. glad you were well cared for and I hope the asthma subsides. xoxo bunny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasey Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 Oh my, oh my!!!! Cindi, you do cause my heart to do a standstill from time to time. What was up with this asthma thing anyhow? If I were there I would properly scold you for messing around with it far TOO long before addressing it. Now, that said, I am SO happy to hear you are feeling better AND that the hospital experience was such a good one. You certainly DO deserve any the good things that happen to come your way...not enough of thenm is you ask me!!!! PLEASE take proper care, Miss Cindi. Hope your doc connection gets you introduced to a few nice folks in the area. Glad you scared your computer into cooperating a little better. Threat of geeks seems to do it ! Now behave and be smart, Love you, you know, Kasey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addie Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 Damn...I wondered where you were hiding and why. So sorry to hear about the breathing problems, but man...sounds like you came away from it with a new friend! What a nice thing to happen, huh? Is your new home in a small town? (Forgive my not remembering... ) Whatever the case, this sounds like a great friend to have, Cindi. Encourage the friendship. Hope you're breathing a lot easier now. I'll be back on prednisone myself tomorrow....have been OFF Decadron since Monday (the oral stuff) and just getting 8 mgs. infused w/ chemo. Am already sleeping TONS better. Only got up twice last night and slept in till 8: this morning. Huzzah!!!!!!! Hope you'r perking along too, Miss Cin. You gonna open up that pub any time soon? Miss Pat and I have a date with a bottle of something today. That and a bowl of frosting...and I'll be good for a week....how about YOU, Pat? (Really glad you're back among us, Cindi!)

pritchie Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 Cindi, Glad you are back. Sorry that you had to go to the ER. Happy that you had a good Doc that knew what he was doing. You need to open the pub soon so the birthday girls can start celebrating. Pamela Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fay A. Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 Glad you are feeling better, Cindi, and doubly glad you decided to go the ER when things were not "right" for you! Hope you continue to improve, and glad to know you've made a friend in the ER Doctor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ann Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 I have to agree with J.C. on this one. I think this young doc has heard via the grapevine about what absolutely fabulous drinks you make at the pub and wants you to be the official bartender for the next bonfire!!! Wow, Cindi...you not only got the yound doc's phone number but also his wife's number!! Girl...you rate!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
