Paul356 Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 Good news re part 1; I'm sure the sequel will be every bit as good. Thoughts and prayers continue. Quote
Charlie Jones Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 Great to hear. I know you are all relieved Quote
Gordy Hill Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 Hey Carla, Maybe we should get a 'get well' card and just send it back and forth! Gordy I'm doing fine, thank you. (Your turn) Quote
Dale Niemann Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 It sounds good so far. Still wishing an excellent recovery. It sounds like she is in good hands with Beth being there. dale Quote
Fishman38 Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 Graham, I have been out of touch with the forum for a couple of weeks and was not aware of Carla's medical problems when I spoke with you yesterday. Please pass along to her my belated best wishes for a speedy and full recovery and the same for the second stage. Jerry Hall Quote
Richard Whitney CS#70 Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 Hi Carla and Graham Just caught up with your news. Hope the healing and next op go well. Best wishes from down under. Richard Quote
TonyDay Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 Gayle and I are very pleased Carla is doing well. Not surprised, though. Woe be it unto anyone who would be foolish enough to tell her otherwise. Spunky as she in in a small package, it will be interesting to see her when all this is complete and she winds up 5 ft 9 in. Tony Quote
sanmi Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 We are so glad to hear about the good progress. Our thoughts are with you Carla. Frank and Julie Quote
Chick Ludwig Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 Tony, I got a chuckle out of your post. I agree about "spunky"!!! Not so sure about the 5'-9'' part---except in spirit! Quote
Designer Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 Carla had a setback earlier this week and had to go back into the hospital. She is improving again and is hopeful that they will release her tomorrow. Marissa is out of state so I apologize if anyone is trying to call the office. Quote
Scott Dunsworth Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 Sorry she is having problems, I talked to her before she went in for the surgery. Quote
Chick Ludwig Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 May God grant you a quick recovery. We're still praying! 1 Quote
Designer Posted August 16, 2014 Posted August 16, 2014 Chick, Carla is still very weak. She is healing from the surgery just fine but she is having dfficulty keepig food down. She had an urge for a turkey sub the other night. I got one for her and she got about 3" down but it all ended up in the buket within 5 minutes. I am not very medically astute which is why she is staying with Beth, the doctors say that she has picked up a type of ecoli that is very resistant to antibiotics. She is allergic to one of the only two that can touch it. Quote
Chick Ludwig Posted August 16, 2014 Posted August 16, 2014 So sorry to hear of her problems.The nausea is an awful thing to deal with when you are in pain already. (I know this first hand.) It's even worse when you crave something good to eat. Is the other antibiotic helping? I understand about the "medically astute" part myself. I'm a terrible nurse. We'll continue praying for a speedy and full recovery. Please keep us all up to date---we all care! Quote
PAR Posted August 16, 2014 Posted August 16, 2014 Having gone through similar with my other half a few years back, prepare yourself for a long recovery period Graham. She's get a little frustrated with the restrictions the doctors put on her and not being allowed to drive will be the worst, if she's at all like my woman. Best of luck my friend and our prayers are with you. Take her for a drive into the country or along the shore, so she can get out of the house. She'll still wish she could "fend for herself" in regard to the car, but the change of scenery really helped my sweetheart, even if I was just a surrogate. Quote
John Burritt Posted August 16, 2014 Posted August 16, 2014 Again, tell Carla that Carolyn & I are still thinking of her. If there is anything I/we can do, give us a call. Quote
IsZataRock Posted August 18, 2014 Posted August 18, 2014 It pays to check the general, "messing-about" site once in a while rather than just reading about your Carlita build and gawking at pictures. I was just about ready to send a message to Carla when I noticed the posting about her surgery and recovery. Very sorry to think of her struggling with pain and infection when we would all like to think of her as being out and about and enjoying the summer. I pray for the best, quickest recovery possible for her and for the patience to deal with the difficulties in the meantime. Please continue to keep us updated on her progress. Hal (aka IsZataRock) Quote
