Kasey Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 OK ~ time for an overdue update on my dear Fred. I've been less than very active for the past many months due to the fact that Fred has been hospitalized twice and a third time ~ though not in the hospital ~ underwent many tests/scans. Without any long explanation, here it is in a nutshell. Heart issues - afib and blocked artery. Probable that he had 2 mini strokes AND those pesty nodules that his family doc said there was no reason to follow any longer have incresed in size ~ since just his November hospitalization. So.......though most of the issues are not LC related, the nodules are AND I know you guys care about all the rest too. I've just returned from the hospital - spent most of the day in the ER and now he's inpatient as a heart patient. Heading back as soon as I finish here. I spent the week after Thanksgiving there as well. If any of you have the desire to send your good vibes or 'whatevers' I thank you profusely. Must admit that this third time in less than 6 months has me a bit rattled. This is all little potatoes compared to what many face, I know, but wanted to just put it out there ~ especially if my absence has at all been noted. Thanks for listening and caring.

LovesLife Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 (((Kasey))) ... Small potatoes my eye! Sounds like you two have been through the wringer the past 6 months. I am glad that Fred is where he needs to be right now - in the hospital where they are searching for and getting answers. I am sending you my prayers, my good vibes and all my sincerest "whatevers" to get you guys through these difficult times. You are always missed around here - I'm just sorry you haven't been away for more enjoyable reasons. Much love and best wishes to both of you!

You are too. Illness takes so much out of both the patient and the caregivers. Thanks for the update and check in when you can.

Reynsie48 Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 (((Casey))) It is so apparent that everyone here doesn't recognize any issue as small potatoes any time it applies to someone they care about let alone such a great sounding person such as yourself and your husband Fred. You have fought a long hard battle and unfortunately you can't stop now, so prayers and best wishes, candles and whatever it takes to help you get through this are headed your way.
