Hi Everyone, MiKael is improving every day but is still weak. She says to say hello to everyone. Dave

Home.......

Believe it or not I am finally home. Got here about 7 or so last night and I am exhausted. Just wanted everyone to know I am home and safe and you support has been greatly appreciated. I have missed you all.

I can't even tell you how good it was to hear real live horse voices this morning when I awoke. It did my heart good. Can't wait until the day I can actually touch one of them. In the meantime, I'm going to have to settle for the sounds of hoofbeats as they play in the field and their wonderful voices.

I hope to get around to visit all of my blogfriends sometime soon, We'll see how it goes. I have promised myself and my family I would not push beyond my limits. That means this post is now done.

Until the next time.............Thanks again everyone for your love and support. It has been so helpful to all of this throughout this scary time.

MiKael

Small bump today, but doctor likes the progress, Dave

Hi, MiKael is improving she will post when she can Dave

Attempt

Lindsay kindly loaned me her computer so I could do a brief post but it was just not meant to be. Between server connections and my lack of understanding of LJ's computer, i'm dragging.

IF THERE IS ANY CHANCE OF A RELEASE COMING SOON! IT MIGHT BE SATURDAY BUT DOC SAID VERY VERY SLIM chance of even that.

Sorry for the rough post this is all I've got I'm so so tired I not going to get in any reading time of any blog friends but believe me when I get home there will be plenty of catch up with each.I will be there or you have my permission to beat me with this pretty short whooped noddle I've become just trying to get this posted.

So far there have been no blogcameras to catch my granny fanny as I took my frst steps down the hall when I was finally granted permission to get myself moving in that embarrassing public situation where the first weirdo old peepers of the day find time for doing what they do.

Consider yourself dually saved such embarrassing exposure. I'm sure if grogginess was not swallowing me, I'd have figured out some way to have have devoted volumnes on the topic as it cintinues to entice me. I am surely gone mad.

I am hitting the button before I get anymore control. It seems all my common sense has left with the clicking of the pain button .

I declare..I just don't understand how something round and shapely all those years ago has turned into some weird thing with a shelf. Let alone how I sit on it. I'm sure theree's somethng about God's sense of humour hidden in there somewhere but it has thoroughly escaped me.

. Right now I just need to quit thought of my all this stuff and hit publish, while I still can.


I miss you all and thinking of you and doing so seems yo make this mountain not seem quite soinsurrmountable. Godd Bless to each and everyone of you.

Monday Update

Sunday surgery went well. Pain management did not. Hopefully things will settle down overnight. MiKael will post when she can. Thanks Dave

The Story

When I posted back at the end of June that I would be taking a break because I wasn't feeling well, I expected that break to be brief. I thought my poor stomach was taking the brunt of my stress and just a little change in diet and a few probiotics would smooth things out and I'd be good to go.

Nothing, however, could have been farther from the truth. There has been nothing simple about this issue.While I thought this was the same as I had encountered last year, there were stark differences that I missed prolonging my agony. Instead of seeking medical attention I kept findinding one more solution to try hoping to avoid medical bills while we currently have no insurance.

By the wee hours of Monday morning, I had begun vomiting and could no longer deny I required a doctor's care so I allowed Dave to take me to the closest Emergency Room. Within a couple of hours a Cscan had been completed and read. There was no doubt I had a blockage in my bowels and surgery would be required for resolution.

By 1 o'clock that afternoon, i was in surgery beginning a battle for my life. The resulting story has all of the usual twists and turns that seem to haunt me. While I had hoped that this post would bring you all up to date, yet another curve ball has been thrown my way. Instead of heading home to recuperate, I will be headed back to surgery and I find myself telling you, yet again, that details will follow.

In the meantime know behind this current fork in the road lies the word we all dread most, the C word. I have been diagnosed with colan cancer.It is not the diagnosis itself that threatens most. Th.e prognosis is pretty good,considering. It is those twists turns along the way that provide the chaos. While I thought we were coming out the other side of that, it is now painfully obvious that inot the case.

There's no way that such a diagnosis cannot spill it'w way over into my horse life. Implications of such are overwhelming wrapped up with Dave's unemployment issues. I think it's going to be quite a ride.

In the meantime, Dave, Lindsay and I are each immensely grateful for the support that has come from you, my blogging friends. I will update as I can and hopefully the gaps won't be as long as to require me twisting Dave's arm.

Currently drugs have the best of me so this has to be it for me. Please forgive lack of pics and drug drrbbling banter. It's the best I've got...........

Update

I thought I might beable to pull off a quick status post from my phone but no cigar. Still in the Hospital. Hope to get you details sometimetoday. MiKael
