dingy Posted July 21, 2011 Author #30 Posted July 21, 2011 A new development. Instead of having to sit in the hospital till the surgery Monday, they decided I could come home on one condition. I have to be on a type of blood thinner that dissipates quickly. It is an injection type. I have to be able to give myself shots twice a day. They went over it at hospital and I gave myself first one there. Diabetics do this all the time, so I am now at home, much more comfy than I would have been in the hospital. Have to go back to hospital, which is about 70 miles away, early Monday for the back surgery. Thanks for all the support & prayers. I will miss that night shift nurse, Michelle, though. She was a sweety. Gary
Squidley Posted July 21, 2011 #31 Posted July 21, 2011 All the best to you Marine, if the spit in your eye is any indication you'll come through just fine. Take care of yourself and it will all fall into place
FuzzyRSTD Posted July 21, 2011 #32 Posted July 21, 2011 Gary, take care my friend. You are in our prayers. Glad the filter is working and your home. My mother in law had that done way back when they first started doing the filters. Really helped her a lot. She was, I think the second one in the state of Ky to have this done. Hang in there and plan on wearing the V-maxed machine out. Fuzzy

She was a sweety. Gary I hardly knew thay put the filter in but I guess it saved my life. Never knew much of what went on for about a week at that time. Went and looked when you posted this and can't even find scar. But I got a few others. Good Luck with it Monday. I'll be sending a word up. I need a TCI programed:whistling:
oldgoat Posted July 21, 2011 #35 Posted July 21, 2011 glad to see your home but take it easy. im sure you can handle the shots i do one a week for my MS i use to do my dads for his dieabetic. they taught me how to put one in a vein once for my moms medication when she was suffering from bone cancer i much rather do the muscle injections. trying to find a vein can be a hassle im sure your doing the muscle type?
GaryZ Posted July 21, 2011 #36 Posted July 21, 2011 Dude, I go out of town for a couple of days and you go in the hospital. Your wife was supposed to warn me so I could have the trailer ready to roll . . . Keep getting better. I want to take a ride with you one day soon.
Yammer Dan Posted July 22, 2011 #37 Posted July 22, 2011 Those love nox shots are so much fun. I hate needles. The Warden ended up giving me my shots....
