Can you believe I can finally write a post? My husband bought me an HP. Pocket PC which I am enjoying very much. That's the good news. I'll is a bit tedious to write so my posts will be short but at least they have predictive text. You can write on the screen with a stylus and it a converts to print. Way cool!! So much for the good news. I'm in the hospital again. The abcess that formed on my knee is not healing and tunneling badly undermining it's called. Combined with a return of the cellulitus 24 hrs after the vancomyacin was stopped. I have been on Vancomyicin for 8 weeks and still have MERSA. Can't believe it. Between Enbrel and medrol my immune system is shot. Monday I'm scheduled for surgery on my knee wound. Something called an I and D. Find out more about it today when the surgeon comes in. Oh yeah - surgical debridment. I'm going to end up with a huge wound on the inside of my knee thal will take forever to heal. The bad thing about these infections is that they cause my MS to flare. So I can't stand again. With a gait belt and some help I can and I can take a few steps but not anything even remotely resembling functional. I will get back soon. I did it before and I'll do it again. So...time for plan B. DH is remodeling the master bedroom to accomodate my wheelchair and walker. The new flooring is a vinyl that looks like hardwood. It's a commercial product and is very durable. And it looks just like the real thing. Next will be the bathroom remodeling. This will take a while because our city takes forever to get permits through. Plus I'm still trying to find a universal design that wows me. Enough for now. I'm hanging in there fighting a bit of depression with this last setback plus it's the anniversary of Mom's death. I tend to cry easily but not so much as a few weeks ago. Soon I'll know if I'm doing this correctly or not. The SNF doesn't have wi fi so but till then....

Will be praying for you, hoping your Monday surgery goes well and it finally gets you back on the road to recovery. Hope all your remodeling plans fall into place and the city gets off their butts and gets permits issued. I feel for you I spent 9 years on a zoning board. Post when you can.

Diane, It's wonderful to see a post from you and be assured special prayers will be said for you that this surgery will finally stabalize your system and allow you to heal. Ann {{{{Diane}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}, i was talking about you this morning with lucy. I have some bad scrapes from working on the house and i heal slowly BUT anytime i start feeling sorry for my self i remember your saga and know how fortunate i am. I am glad you will be able to check in with us. I for one start worrying if you haven't. I am so sorry to hear that the wound is getting worse. I truly don't know where you find the strength to deal with this. Hopefully the debridment will isolate the area and stop the growth. There has got to be something that will help your system promote healing. I really do believe that some combination of herbs and supplements would help. Sometimes when the synthetic AB's are not working getting back to the source and using them in their natural form can help. At this point it could not hurt. The new bedroom sounds like a great distraction and getting there a positive goal for you to focus on right now. Will be sending lots of good vibes for the surgery and speedy healing that will occur this time. Keep checking in. johnie PS. your post came in fine . It did show up 5 times though. > Can you believe I can finally write a post? My husband bought me an > HP. Pocket PC which I am enjoying very much. That's the good news.

It's like a palm pilot but with windows and wifi, plus bluetooth. You can IM, email and do just about everything you can on you're desktop especially after you syncronise them. My media disk from my digital camera slips into my IPAQ and I can download the pictures. HP's website has good info on them. I love it. Especially writing on the screen with the stylus. Very powerful. I don't even know everything it can do. How's that? > I am so glad to see you post. Prayers for some miraculous healing > will be happening.

You've been through more than anyone deserves in two lifetimes much less less than one! Praying for a great recovery for you. GaryZ Thanks for your words of encouragement. It's not always easy but I try. I saw where my post came so many times. When I clicked on send it didn'l look as if it did anything so I clicked it again, My bad.

Diane, I thought we had made a deal last time I talked to you that you were going home! No more hospitals etc. I know you want more time for hubby to work on the house renos but even so...... you don't have to do it this way. Seriously I wish you had better news. You were doing so well for so long. You are entitled to feel a little depressed. Keep thinking of good things and know that I am right behind you routing for you (or kicking you in the butt keeping you going - your choice!) Thinking only good thoughts. Hope you got your obnoxious card I sent to you. The clerks were cringing at the sound. I did like the stickers though - haven't seen them in Canada. You take care, Kelly > Can you believe I can finally write a post? My husband bought me an > HP. Pocket PC which I am enjoying very much. That's the good news. I'll [quoted text clipped - 37 lines] > > PS Surgery is Monday at noon. Diane, it's so good to see your post, even if the news isn't all terrific. I hope this surgery can turn things around for you. i think of you often and all you have on your plate. your in my prayers. diane Kelly- I've been meaning to phone you and thank you for the stickers and the musical card. And to remember my birthday at that! So special of you. My birthday was so special. The nurses and CNA's threw an Olive Garden luncheon for me and we had cake that my husband brought in as well. Two others had the same birthday. Beginning early in the morning I was being given gifts and cards and balloons . By 3:00 I was worn out! .Your package arrived in the middle of all the excitement. Kisses and hugs. Diane W elly wrote: > Diane, > I thought we had made a deal last time I talked to you that you were going [quoted text clipped - 54 lines] > > > > PS Surgery is Monday at noon. No phone call necessary - I am glad you enjoyed it. The card was so obnoxious in the store that I had to get it (musical card with high tinny sound - figured the nurses would like it.) Glad the birthday was special - you deserved it!! We are off to look at houses and empty lots this afternoon. Had a crappy night so really don't feel up to this but we had the real estate salesman all set up so.... Talk to you later - hang in there partner! kelly > Kelly- I've been meaning to phone you and thank you for the stickers > and the musical card. And to remember my birthday at that!

I think about you often and picture you scooting around the hotel in St. Louis. We had a great time then, didn't we Diane? Since then, every time I think of you, I remember us meeting Kathleen Turner and I remember how great it was meeting you face to face and how beautiful I thought you were. I'm sending lots and lots of prayers and healing vibes your way. I miss you! Love, Gloria > Can you believe I can finally write a post? My husband bought me an > HP.
