hoops update

[hoops]

hey all, first, thank you all for being like a family to me, i hope you feel the same. had a small surgery yesterday, severing the nerves that have caused me so much pain. had to be rushed back to the ER cause i was bleeding profusly just an hour later. all went well, no infection, my surgeon checked his work and tightened up the dressing quite a bit which stopped the bleeding for the most part. i think it finally worked since my ab muscles are feeling fine, my back and shoulders are a bit different, but that is just soreness and will be gone in days. so i think i may be out of the woods, thank goodness and thanks to all your thoughts, prayers and rudie vibes. I say again, Tracy took wonderful care of me, didn't let me do anything and made sure i spoke with all the docs and made appointments to see them tomorrow and fed, clothed, cleaned and cared for me in ways that i couldn't. she is a keeper and i'm gonna keep her :D. thanks again to all
peace

I'm so happy to hear that's things went well overall. I think this was more of a happy surgery than a bad one. I mean, one that will make you feel better quicker, rather than later........ please tell me you understand what I mean. Best wishes and love from Elliott

Thank goodness this one was more or less straightforward. Hope you're feeling better for that, Noel and that all the pain has gone at last. Please be well soon.

So pleased you are not having to go through these things by yourself, Noel.

[Bat]

As long as they don't sever the nerve that controls your breathing, go for it!
I'm glad you're out of pain...it can be devastating, I know.
Kudos for Tracy for being such a great partner...well worth keeping.
I liked her instantly at the Jannic, and thought you were pretty lucky to have her, even back then! Now I know I was right...:cool:
Hugs to you both!

[DaveM]

So glad to hear that all went well. Sending the Rudie Vibes just to make sure.

This won't stop you from riding a motorcycle, will it?

[GodSistah]

A big hug for you, Noel!
Luv ya, girl!

The woods can be a great place to be but not medically, glad you're leaving them behind and finding the path back. Go Noel, Go...You always have such a positive read on things, I'm sure that's helping. and thank Tracy for all of us for helping with your journey.

You're feeling better and better by the day; Tracy has come into your life in a big way. As a friend of mine used to say: "Life is just a bowl of Roses"!:p

Now set that to music, and keep dancing! :D
