Ross how are you?

[Nan]

Hi Ross, it seems to me you have been uncharacteristically quiet recently, are you OK? What's happening? Hope I am wrong and that you are OK and just busy with other stuff.

I have been wondering, too

Lynn's surgery

Lynn's surgery

Ross has been awful busy and down ever since his wife Lynn got sick. She's having kidney surgery this coming Tuesday. Let's keep the two of them in our thoughts and say a lot of prayers through this such rough time for them.

Ross isn't quite a basket case, but near. He is very busy trying to get things in order for Lyn to be admitted for her upcoming surgery. I know he only has time to check in and then get back to his other business. But he's not far - he's keeping track, you can bet on it.

 

[Nan]

Ross, I am holding you and Lynn "in the light" and sending you lots of good thoughts! Hang in there, both of you!

Shhhh, be very quiet, I'm hunting wabbit.

I've been very busy getting forms filled and filed, Doc and Lab appointments, fighting with patient billing from the hospital, ER Physician, Urologist, Radiology and I'm sure more to come. Trying to make sure all my bases are covered and since we already know that we are going to be sunk like the Titanic, I'm trying to minimize the damage as much as I possibly can, if there is such a thing. I'm now doing the work of two and yes it's taking it's toll, but I can't stop now. Got to get through this coming week yet, then I can go deep into the woods somewhere and scream as much as possible.

Good luck with the upcoming surgery. I understand what you are facing. My poor husband is having a heck of a time trying to keep me still while he does everything and it is just killing me to let him do it all...I dont understand "Get back into bed:".... Boy this being a patient IS REALLY TOUGH....not even counting the injury part. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers...

Just wondering

Just wondering

Hi Ross, I've read a lot about the problems you and Lynn are having to face. However, you've never mentioned other family members, I mean your or her side of the family. Usually in these situations, most people get a lot of support from family members and friends, including finantial help. I was just wondering if you too can count on that. You haven't been that well healthwise yourself which makes things even harder. Will there be anybody available to help you take care of Lynn once she leaves hospital? Do you have any children who can be there for you? I hope you do get extra help from somewhere because this might just be too much for you to handle on your own. I wish you all the best and will continue to pray the whole time. Remember, one step at a time and you'll get there.

Ross,

You're in our family prayers. I'm shaking my head ... as if you don't have enough to deal with! I hope your children are helping and handling everything OK.

With love,

Ross, you just hang in there and know that many many will be lifting you and Lyn up in prayer tomorrow. As nightmarish as this is, you know we all love you and are hoping and praying for the best possible outcome. I wish there were a magic wand to wave to make it all go away, but we know that only happens in fairy tales and sadly, this is reality.......and yes, reality bites.

There is no family to speak of for either of us. She has a brother in Florida and a Sister in Cleveland, but as for finacial help, forget it. They have their own struggles to deal with. Both sets of parents are gone, no close relatives at all. We are on our own literally.

My boys will help when they can. They too have lives of their own, though I do have one that still stays here part time.

Yes I'm having a hard time, but I'm not dead yet! Sometimes feel like I am, but I keep on keeping on, so as long as I can do that, she'll be fine.

Ross,
It sounds like you're leaping headlong into the "for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health" portion of your wedding vows.
Lyn is lucky to have you with her, just as you have been lucky to have her with you.
You all will do fine.
I know it all ready.

Ross,
I have been reading all the posts trying to figure out what I could say or do but I could not come up a magic spell to cast to make it all go away so I will have to go with sending prayers and good thoughts your way. I have even asked my friends here to add you and Lyn to their prayers.

I firmly believe prayer works! We just had a friends 18 yr old nephew come out of a month long coma after a terrible car accident. The 1st trauma Dr. had given up on him, told his parents that he would never recover. When he came out of it on Fri he was at about 90%.

Please remember to take care of yourself since Lyn will need you when she gets home. Sounds like something that was passed on for all of our loved ones before our surgeries, doesn't it? So it must be good advise

Take care my friend,

Nadine

Just sending my love and prayers for tomorrow. WE love you guys. Please know that you will have many people with you tomorrow in spirit. HUgs. Janet

WELL, They are there now and she's about to enter the surgery. Ross isn't a good sleeper at any time, but I bet he didn't get a wink last night. He is definitely not in good health. We must all pray for him to help him get through this. Of course, for Lyn, too. I hope the boys send him to a comfortable room to rest while Lyn is in surgery. o/w he will be a co-patient with her. I hope the sight of his oxygen will alert the nurses enough so that they will be vigilant for them both!

If anybody hears ANYTHING, please post it as soon as you know. Maybe start a new threas titled "NEWS OF LYN" or something like that?
