One more test to run, but we don’t think that’s it. She’s responding to treatment—we think, in short, she sprang a leak from an old surgery under the stress of this spring—and losing Efanor fried it. Transfusions got her back on her feet—and it was dangerous: left untreated, she could have had heart or neurological damage, or worse, but she is fine, we now know that her insides are in great shape (except the leak) and that is being treated with a drug (Prilosec.) Beyond that it’s a case of building back her red blood supply.
Many, many thanks to OSG, who greased so many medical wheels we tobogganed from one office to another to treatment to diagnosis, in a case where slowness could do physiological damage; and we are so, so grateful, OSG, no kidding! OSG also went to appointments with us, talked medical talk where appropriate, interpreted for us, and advised, and in short, you couldn’t ask better.
Well, that was the headline I wanted to see! As I was clicking on my bookmark of Wave without a Shore, I realized “today’s Wednesday and results are back…” and suddenly wondered what I would see as the screen came into view. Thank you for putting the good news right up front!
Yes! Time for much rejoicing!
Have a great summer!
So glad it’s looking good, understandable, and not some dire unknown amorphous thing. Much prefer Jane healing up and her usual upbeat self.
Many thanks to OsG for talking the talk and walking the walk. It is acary-worrisome being a friend and advocafe for someone dear to us, and having a halfway idea of things, thanks to an education, yet we don’t have the medical specialty to know even the right questiins or to interpret what we observe. All the while, even trying for neutral, professional calm, we are emotionally engaged for the one we care about and for our relationship, our own feeings.
Yes, I know what it’s like going with someone you care very much about.
Carolyn, please take care of yourself also.
This fan happens to like the two of you in tip top shape.
Osg, please look out for yourself too.
I am given to understand one family doctor often prescribes ice cream, putting one’s feet up, and a good science fiction movie, TV show, or anime, upon good news or upon feeling crummy. I feel sure he’d prescribe pet therapy too.
Congrats to Jane. Tell her it’s past spring, and there are other ways to take a leak. …No, wait, darn Universal Translator can’t have gotten that right…..
:hugs:
heh heh…That’s just about what we’re going to do right now! We’ve been saving the new Harry Potter for tonight, have a lovely carrot cake awaiting consumption and a chilled bottle of bubbly!
Diets can wait for tomorrow. ๐
Save some champagne for me, please! *hic!*
Wonderful, wonderful news!!!!! Enjoy the celebration!
Yay! Thank you for sharing the great news!
Champagne and carrot cake sound like a *wonderful* plan!
Happy Dance!
This is wonderful news!
Very glad to hear this!
You all deserve a bit of indulgence, after the last month of Bad Things. One is quite pleased to hear Jane has been pronounced fit. Are there any ‘treats’ that would help Jane with the rebuilding-of-blood thingy?
๐ ๐ ๐ :D!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So very HAPPY for both of you. What a relief this must be. A big SHOUT OUT to OSG.
See all those crossed toes, fingers, thumbs worked! ๐
Happy dance and {{{hugs}}} to all.
*takes a little curtsy*
Fantastic news! Take care of yourselves, all of you. Let the celebrations commence.
Absolutely wonderful news !! Now, the next check up is at 120 … ๐
Scribbles carrot cake onto grocery list; great idea!
Well, i can claim it has carrots!
Great news from both you ladies! ReadyGuy and I are so relieved that Jane is on the health rebound. We know how much you worry when she is ailing. Now, no excuses, lets see some progress on Intruder and Seeking North. (((hugs)))
OOPs, I goofed, it’s Intruder plus one not Intruder.
*does happy dance*
Wonderful. Past time for some good news!
Alas, I didn’t see carrot cake, though I probably didn’t look as thoroughly as I should have. I’m sure I have a carrot cake recipe, just not handy at the moment. So the urge for carrot cake morphed into a spice cake and cream cheese frosting, courtesy of Mmes / Mlles Betty Crocker and Duncan Hines. LOL, though I might grate some carrot into it just for the heck of it. Likely this will get done tomorrow a.m.
I will look in my computer files. Possibly, I copied a carrot cake recipe there. …So, so disorganized / frazzled lately. If I were stsho, I bet I would’ve Phased at least once, maybe twice by now. (If only I could claim that as a reason, haha.)
Terrific news to read today! Thank you for sharing it!
