Waiting....................................................................................................
It's gotten a hell of a lot longer.
Dys arrived at my door at the same time a car horn was bleating, as I opened it to see if it was my car... and told me the latest and asked me to post because so many people care. He is too emotionally wiped to post, now at least.
The major surgeons backed off, because there are two stones and they are way too big for laparoscopic ways to get them out.
Both surgeons talked to Dys at length and he likes these two, as do I from my outside vantage point. The guy who will do the abdominal was on the phone trying to schedule it as she was being wheeled out, highly medicated.
Dys will pm me with her room info, but no doubt she will be medicated up the kazoo until surgery. (that's a guess only).
I know Dys likes getting calls - but, he'll also be waiting to hear from the abdominal surgeon (whom I gather was there during this initial surgery, or in the surround, prepping for the second part that didn't happen), and he hasn't slept hardly any since.... probably early yesterday morning.
We're all tired. Diane was also sleepless, as was I, and, I haven't talked with BBB, but she has likely been worried sick too.
I know Bear can help with his understanding, and has.
I suggest pm's. They'll let him sleep, but he'll naturally look at them.
The surgeon told him there is a good chance she'll be home by Monday depending on scheduling.
Tough break. The abdominal surgery, though every bit as effective, involves much more invasive intervention and a longer recouperation.
I talked to Bob a few minutes ago. At the end, I thanked him for making my own troubles seem so insignificant.
Hi, Roger. And.. Dys (of course, Bob) knows people will pm instead of calling, from now for a while... so he'll go there.
Puzzled. Concerned.
I'm a bit time-zone challenged. OssoB, does this mean things are off for the balance of today, and there'll be another round of everything for Diane tomorrow?
<curses>
My love to Diane, dys and everyone who cares for them.
I wasn't aware of any of this until a few hours ago. I hope everything is going well tonight.
I've been checking in on this thread off and on all day today. I'm tired, too, but nowhere near as tired as Dys and Diane must be. I hope they both get some sleep tonight. I will "pm" Dys a little later.
We don't know any schedule past seeing the surgeon trying to make one.
If I know something, I'll post, per Dys permission.
Dys may post first... with luck he is sleeping.
(or busy responding to pm's , as I just discovered :wink: )
Sending my best wished to Dys and Diane!!!!!
Damn those pesky stones.
I am confused too. When did stones become involved?
Thanks for the info, osso.
I'm hoping the surgery can be scheduled quickly. The sooner the better.
You'll let us know when.
Hope you get some rest, kiddo.
All the very, very best!
(I'm a bit confused: did they or why didn't make a 'normal' surgery when they discovered the stones were to big? It was similar with Mrs Walter [I've posted the stones somewhere]], but those stones were just small enough - if not, they'd done it 'old style' instead. [Two anaesthetists and three surgeons were doing her operation.])
Are the damn things out yet??????
What a tangle.
At least Diane has a bed in the hospital and at least two surgeons practically and ethically involved in scheduling gall bladder surgery--perhaps today.
I hope no one with a problem of lesser urgency is getting bumped, but I'll be glad if Diane is everyone's priority.
She and Bob both deserve that.
Oooooommmmm. Ooooooommmmm. Oooooommmm.

I waited to call Dys until about 6:30 last night (mountain time) expecting that Diane would be home, recovering. I was shocked and angry to learn the bad news. Dys is exhausted, angry, and worried. This all could have been avoided if Diane had received the proper care from the beginning of her symptons.
