This is Dave (I know you're surprised) filling in again! The lastest on Amy is - she's doing pretty good considering. She may possibly be released from the hospital as early as Monday or as late as Wednesday - or anytime in between (keep your fingers & toes crossed).
Pen suggested that Amy would find this song fun and I think she's 100% correct - so Im dedicating this song to Amy because it really is a FUN SONG!
It's me, Dave, updating for Amy yet again...., Amy is being hospitalized today - it seems her insurance will not pay for home treatment. Her official diagnosis is, Deep Vein Thrombosis, and as to how long she will be in the hospital at this point I can only take a unlearned guess - 3 days to a full week.
The important thing is she's getting treatment and being monitored. Your prayers and well wishes are deeply appreciated.
Updates will be posted as new details arise. ~ A worried, Dave
This is Dave, again stepping in for Amy. Just received news, Amy has a blood clot extending from her recent partially amputated foot to the back of her leg. She will be getting treatment at home from Home Health Care, for the next few days - and going back to the doctor on Friday (i think), and will be rechecked.
Hopefully she may update you further soon - if not then I'll be here to fill the gap on any new developments, as always.
This is Dave doing a quick fill in for Amy - she's busy revamping her computer - it had its own problems . Hopefully she'll be updating this page soon enough.
The complications that developed with Amy's foot (swollen & red) turned out to be a slight infection and a little bit of foot stress - I wont comment on that because if I did I would have to say "Told you so, Amy! Walk on your foot but don't over do it - isn't that what I said Amy?" BUT I wont say that. Nope not me. She is my buddy and best friend.., and as such wont say anything like "I told you so". (much).
Oh - and as I understand it - the Computer is doing great now as well. Nothing too serious. Just wanted to calm and assure you - Amy's computer is okay too. It will be up and operational in no time!
Well, no video tonight. Just a short update until I can do better...LOL. I got half my stiches out Friday. I hurt like..... I just cant describe it. I swear the doctor thinks either I am putting on or the biggest wuss he's ever seen, not to mention he has no sympathy for me at all, even acts a little sarcastic about it. Anyway, after pouting in bed all day Saturday about it, and watching Desperate Housewives (season one) I decided I wasnt going to prune over it any more, so I got up today. I put on my shoe, my velcro thingy one.. and went about the house and did the grin an bare it thing all day. I managed a lot today with out my cane at all...had lots of furniture close by to help guide me. I did laundry,and the biggest thing I am most proud of... I DROVE!!! YAY!! I am closer to normal than ever!!! I drove three miles to McDonalds, had a fish sandwich and some tea. The only thing I realized was I need to practice holding the brake firmer or maybe with a different part of my foot. And NO, sorry, but I just CANT use my left foot driving at all.... I tried, it is the most unnartural thing I think my body has ever tried to do. I just noticed that while sitting in the drive-through, my foot got achy, so I put it in park till I could move forward. I go back WED of this week to remove the rest of my stiches... I cant wait to get this over with... yall wish me luck! Any advice on how to make it pain free is appreciated!!!
OK, I had to spotlight this!! This is Dave singing "PLEASE". I had never heard the song before, and now I dont care if I EVER hear it by the orriginal artist because this version is AWESOME!!! Yall kick back and ENJOY!
No cooking lessons today........the end of the video got cut off, all I said was contact me, I'll walk you through, love yall, goodnight! (have to remember to keep it UNDER five minutes!!)
