Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / November 2003Accident update *grin*
Just to keep some who are interested up to date on my friend.. He has a fiance' who obviously said yes this past weekend :). Sometime next summer from what I hear. He's healing better than expected, so now maybe Christmas instead of the first. Today was his first skin graft and it went well. It's going well enough his father is going back to work offshore this week and family is popping back up here for an overnight visit for routine daily stuff. (one or two at a time of course) He's out of ICU temporarily. He was upset because family wasn't allowed to stay with him so they moved him into a regular room between surgeries. He'll spend a couple days after each in ICU until risk of complications is no longer a threat. Basically a "heal the mind, heal the body" decision.

Dr's tend to be a bit pessimistic so he might recover faster than predicted. Also sounds like he has a lot of reasons to recover, never under estimate the human spirit. After all I'm supposed to be dead by 2 and/or a mental vegtible. Insted I'm a bit nutty.

Ack! I'm so glad you're not Suz. It hasn't all been great news. He's awful emotionally right now because... well just the daily doctor's reports, what he's facing, what's going to happen long term after he goes home and this is all over. He's facing handicaps, and they are fairly easy to live with with proper knowledge and a little practice. His woman is willing to take him, baggage and all so that's going to help over the next year or so until life resumes what will be normal for him. I think I agree with you about the doctors. They are always leaning on the outside of the worst. >Ack! I'm so glad you're not Suz. > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] >I think I agree with you about the doctors.

It sounds like he has a good support network so time and patience should heal him. Purrs sent/continued. Suz Iron Chef Macmoosette Thank Heavens There's Only One =^..^= =^..^= =^..^= =^..^= =^..^= =^..^= Chocolate heals all wounds. We are all "cat-nuts" here anyway, Suz, and I for one am happy to be one. Very glad you're not *dead* though....and I'm grateful this Thanksgiving for not being so myself from that heart attack last July. Gracie, the kinda docs that boy has are the kind who get hit with "deep-pockets" lawsuits because of the specialty they chose....AFAIK, the only other specialty doc who gets hit with more is obstetrician. Is it any wonder there are so few of those these days? Most in our area have dropped OB altogether and only practice gynecology exclusively. Anyway, if things turn out *better* than what they predict, it's one way to get "off the hook".....and imagine if things turned out *worse*....... : >Just to keep some who are interested up to date on my friend.. : > [quoted text clipped - 32 lines] : : Chocolate heals all wounds. > We are all "cat-nuts" here anyway, Suz, and I for one am happy to be one. > Very glad you're not *dead* though....and I'm grateful this Thanksgiving for [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > predict, it's one way to get "off the hook".....and imagine if things turned > out *worse*....... Yeah, we were talking about that somewhat yesterday Hopitus. My father-in-law was grumping why aren't all of these hospitals trauma ready. "Band-aid" stations he called them. I told him it's a matter of money, it costs to supply the ER's. My mother-in-law said it's a matter of wanting to pay those extra insurance costs that it requires. Our local hospitals have great doctors. I love where I was for my kidlet's deliveries. I wouldn't trade my OB/GYN for 'nuthin. But such as it is, they don't have the resources or equipment to deal with big ticket health issues. All in all, you make a valid point and it's probably very much true. And it's sad when we live in a world that is so litigation happy that people are afraid to even suggest the wrong thing. The way I see it... if things turned out "worse" than what the doctor predicted, it happens. That may sound crass of me, but really. I don't understand this politically correct, CYA world sometimes. > This is really great! Dr's tend to be a bit pessimistic so he might recover > faster than predicted.
