I got a message on my voice mail, I missed it by 5 minutes, but someone is messing with my DSL line and I’ve just now been able post this. Anyway, Zy called herself to say that she was out of the operation and in post-op. That at least says that she’s come thru it enough that she can dial the phone and talk. I think she is doing ok.
She didn’t say anything about a room number or how long she’d be staying or anything like that. I’ll post more if I hear more and that damn guy down the street on that pole doesn’t mess with this connection anymore.
Zyada called me earlier today and like Jim, I’ve been having problems getting online. Actually I’ve been having problems getting to the Straight Dope. Anyhoo, I did talk to Zyada and she sounded pretty good. Drugged, but pretty good. She wasn’t sure if she’d be staying in the hospital but she did leave me a telephone number where she can be reached.
I just got a call from Grace who just got a call from Zyada. Since I’m not Balance, I’ll do the best I can at relaying the particulars.
She is doing ok. Grace said she doesn’t sound as drugged as yesterday when she talked to her. She’s going to have to spend another day there. She’s having some problems with nausea and they want to keep her around a while. (I’ve been wanting to keep her around a while for some time now, but haven’t succeeded at that idea.)
Anyhow, she’s at Harris Methodist Hospital in Ft. Worth room 347. It looks like the main phone number there is (871) 882-2000. She should be there probably till mid day tomorrow.
That’s all I know for now. Hope I got the facts straight.
She’s feeling quite a bit better, and is glad she moved from the observation ward (a row of beds facing the nurses’ station, where they chat and giggle at 3 am) to a private room. She’s still drugged enough that she went away to go back to sleep after a few minutes.
Well, at least out of the hospital. I actually woke up this morning, which was a change from dozing or sleeping as much as I could given that they were checking my blood pressure and temperature every 15 minutes, and talking right by my bed the rest of the time. Anyway, I’m staying with Mom tonight and going home tomorrow.
Sorry, but I haven’t been able to get on the boards all week. Stupid internet.
Anyway, I’m gald to see you’re doing well, and wish I could have come by to say hi. It’s probably a good think Jim didn’t, as God knows what he would have done to you in your sleep. He might have seen it as his chance to “get you in bed”.
Keep us updated, and let me know of you need anything. I know “Three Sentenced” Grace has my number, and I’m sure a few others do as well.
