So sorry to hear about the setback with George. What kind of surgery are they going to be doing? Praying that Mitch stays up beat and not to discouraged and wisdom for the doctors.

Ali, my understanding is that they took blood yesterday to grow a culture (or whatever it's called) to determine the type of infection, they keep going back and forth about whether it is or isn't MRSA. The infection is in his bones. Today the surgery is to clean/flush out(?) the infection or infected area. I'm thinking possibly drain fluid, but I'm not sure about that. When I hear from Mitch today, after the surgery I will let yall know.

Thanks for the update. Praying the surgery will be a success.

[OutandAbout]

So sorry to hear this news. {{{{{{HUGS}}}}}} to Mitch, George and Nurse Abby. I hope the Dr's are able to correctly diagnose the problem and recovery will be soon. Linda

Many more prayers being sent to George and Mitch...
So glad to hear the hospital is on top of this and they are trying hard to help dear George.
All of our thoughts and prayers are with both of you.

Hi, Strangers!!!!!!

I miss you guys so much! (well, except for Vickie - that silence has been a blessing...)

Poor G had his second surgery in 2 weeks. Here's a pic of his new leg. They took him up to surgery last night at 10:00 PM!! I spoke with the surgeon at 12:30 this morning. Prognosis is "guarded". He is on, and will be on, what Wikipedia calls a "Drug of Last Resort", administered through IV, for the next six weeks!! Six weeks in a nursing home will kill him. This is certainly a one-way road to Hell...feels like it, anyway!

At least he provided a chuckle or two this morning - he's high as a kite on morphine and was doing some very strange (and sometimes funny) things...I asked the nurse if she could give me some of what he was having. No go. I guess I'm just stuck with the wine.

I didn't go back (since he was so high) this afternoon, and what am I doing??? Screwing around on the computer! I need to go to bed...but I miss you guys more than I need the sleep. I've missed so much here on the Forum, when I'm able to come back, I'll just have to pretend I'm new. Maybe then Vickie might even be nice to me? ha.


All this from one little injection in a surgeon's office!!!

Wow...you and George are sure in a rough patch. Definitely will be praying for both of you as well as the doctors who are treating George. I wish I was closer so I could bring you a nice dinner. {{{HUGS}}} to you both. Hope you can get some rest tonight.

[carold]

Mitch, we're right there with you as much as we can. Lot's of LOVE and (((HUGS))) and anything else we can muster. At least you don't have to go wandering around your property looking for George. ps Vickie is a blessing to you whether you want her or not There are just some people, thank goodness, you can't get rid of. Lucky you! carold

[rvgrammy1953]

Thanks for the update, Mitch....prayers going for this to do the trick for George...Now finish the wine and go to bed....You need your rest, too.....
