Title: Asha had surgery this morning
Post by: Boppie on June 03, 2008, 03:59:35 pm
I had word that she is staying the standard overnight in ICU and will be in a regular room tomrrow.  She is fine...told her hubby, 'I want to sleep'... :D  How many of us said that?

Thanks, Boppie:

This is great news.  I'm very happy for Asha.  Her desire to do little but sleep, post-op, is absolutely normal.  Let's hope that her recovery goes smoothly without any real complications.  I'll look forward to any further updates.  Thanks again for this one.  :)

Great news about Asha!  Thanks for letting us know, Boppie  ;D

Note to Lori   -
one of us is supposed to remind the other to send Asha a get well card - maybe one of us is even supposed to remind K  ???

Anyway, please send Asha get well wishes.  Boppie has her address if you need it.

Thanks,

Jan

K -

don't feel bad, Boppie actually PM'd me earlier to tell me how Asha was doing.  I was still wrapped up in wishing Mary well and with wondering how Trish is doing.  But at my age, you can't remember everything   ;)

I'll PM you the address.

Yeah, I'm wondering about Trish also.

But I don't know if Fabian has anyone to help him out while Trish is in the hospital.  I think Trish mentioned her mother but I don't know when she arrives.

I'd imagine just taking care of Cali and finding time to be with Trish isn't all that easy, plus who knows what his work situation is.  He probably has his hands full.

Finding time to post a message to us might just not be a high priority.  I'm sure we'll hear something in a few days.

In the meantime, I guess we'll just have to be patient.  Too bad I'm not very good at that   ::)

I'm seeing the Dr who preformed Trish's surgery on Thurs, but I hope we will have had some word by than.  I will get an update and post.

Uhhh.. yes... Jan... by the way.. don't forget to send Asha a get well card...of course I remembered...   :-[

Okay.. not entirely true, but I've had a rough week and am not even sure what state I'm in at the moment...never mind what the date is....ugh...

Hope we hear more good news from her hubby and hear something about Trish...  No news is good news... right?

Lori -

you have had a rough week  :(  Hope things get better.

Anne Marie -

hopefully we'll hear from Fabian before Thursday, but if not maybe your doc can shed a little light on the situation.  He probably won't be able to tell you much though, due to patient confidentiality.

Boppie, I'm glad to hear that Asha's surgery went well. It is great that you and the others who sent cards are paying such close attention to her.

Lori, I hope you are feeling better after a sad week, condolences on your loss.

On the Trish story: it occurs to me that maybe Fabian doesn't know how to post, or got some part of the sequence wrong, or the password wrong, or something. I don't think he posted here before, right? Maybe he is not much of a computer guy.

Good point.  Trish said he'd update us, but I don't recall if she said she showed him how to post.

Thanks Steve.  I appreciate it.

And I thought all guys were computer guys?  Isn't that built right into the Y chromosome - along with hogging the remote control and being able to work the barbeque grill?

Hi Boppie,

Thanks for the update, I have talked to Asha several times and she seems like such a nice lady. If you talk to her or her husband, let her know that I am praying for her and hope that she has a speedy recovery! Thanks again,  Ann

Asha does seem like a very nice lady - very sweet - and she has a great attitude.

I hope she's doing well.  I'll drop her a note tomorrow.

I spoke with Asha's husband this morning.  She went to a regular room Wednesday evening.  She is happy about that and "doing better now". ... will be home Saturday or Sunday.  Her hubby sounded very tired.

Thanks for updating us Boppie.

Didn't get a chance to drop Asha a note today, but will definitely do so this weekend.

Boppie:

Thanks again for the 'Asha Update'.  If her husband can't post much, at least you can act as a relay and keep us updated.

That she is out of ICU and feels better is a positive sign.  I'm sure we'll be seeing her here as a 'postie' before long.

Meanwhile, your contacts and that of other members with Asha and/or her husband are very helpful and show the kind of empathy and concern that makes me proud to a part of this community.... except for the part of having an acoustic neuroma that required surgery and radiation to get rid of, that is.    :)

Hi Everyone,

Asha called me last night, what a surprise! She sounded wonderful on the phone! She was released from the hosptial on Saturday afternoon. She says that she is doing well. Will give you more updates when I talk to her again.  Ann

Thanks, Ann.

Boppie also talked to Asha and her husband again.  Maybe she'll give us an update today too.

Sending good wishes Asha's way,

Jan

Asha is moving along with her recovery.  She still has some residual bits of tumor stuck to her embattled facial nerve, but the bulk of it is out.  She is walking at the Mall (Dallas is hot!) and has excellent care from her husband.  I think she will get her stitches out today and get permission to go back to her contacts.  She is very happy to have the tumor out.  She and Dr. Owen will watch the facial nerve for any tumor growth that could necessitate a radiation treatment.

Boppie, thanks for that update!

I just knew she'd do well.  She has such a great attitude and really made sure to ask all the right questions before her surgery.  I'm so happy for her!

Dear Asha,

It is so good to hear from you! You sound so upbeat and happy on the phone. You have had a positive attitude throughout this whole ordeal and have come through it with flying colors. It's amazing what can be accomplished with good friends, good attitude and lots of faith. I wish you continued healing on your AN journey. Friends,  Ann

Great to hear from you.  I'm sorry I missed your call the other day - I was out of town for a few days.  But, you sounded great!  I hope things continue to go well. 

Take care!
