Just talked to Sugaree... Well, out of what I'm sure are MANY cards sent, she has received only 2, from Bettina (she loves the A pictures!) and Ljsmack. L, she was laughing about your offer to send food--I forgot that you two have that Hungarian background in common! Her husband will ask AGAIN today to see if he can get someone at the hospital to find her mail, but she said "It's fine, no one needs to send me anything anyway." She DID say it's okay to post her address in this thread, though--might be the only way she will get anything besides those 2 cards. D. Nesbit 543 Langley Ave. West Hempstead, NY 11552 Surgery is at 1:00 Monday. Her mom will call me that night with news. She'll still be in ICU after, but if all goes well, she'll be home by the end of next week. She's a little bored, her chin is bleeding from the neck brace that just got tightened up again a couple of days ago, and she's tired of staff having to cut her food (she said the steroids make her hungry) and not being able to use her hands. That's the thing that really worries her. Lynne, your hands were fine after your surgery, right? But on the PLUS side, the hospital staff is nice, she finally got her shower, she CAN walk (though legs are weird and numb), and she'll be home soon! Not bad for having eight fractures in your neck (and bone spurs, which they're supposed to remove, too.) And that's all I know for now. She sounded really good this morning! YAY! Positive thoughts continuing for you, girl!

Thank you, hoopla, for the update! I sent a card a few days ago. I hope she will get it although she has moved to a different ICU. I don't know how long the mail takes here from Germany!?! ??? Edit: Oh, hoopla, we posted at the same time! I see that my card has already arrived! Thanks for the info!

Betty, are you "Bettina"? If so, she said you chose really good Adam pics to send and that it was VERY sweet of you! ETA: LOL, and we cross-posted AGAIN!

Yes, Bettina is my "real" name and "betty" is the short version of it!

Hey, all! here is my exciting personal news for the day. My second grandchild is going to be a girl!!!!!!! The first is a boy, so we are quite excited that we will have one of each variety, lol. Even better news, everything is normal with this baby, so great to hear after the difficulties we had getting her brother here! Update on him for those of you that were there with us... His kidneys are hanging in there and he continues to amaze his doctors.

Positive thoughts continuing for you, girl! Yes, I could move my hands, but my injury sounds less severe than hers, although we had similar fusion. Recovery does take a long time. I kept getting better and better mobility and results for almost two years after the surgery. I am doing pretty well now, though, all things considered. So tell her to hang in there. I am keeping her in my prayers.

SUGAREE UPDATE: I talked to S yesterday and she said if at all possible she will call Tuesday--tomorrow--but in the meantime... Her mom called tonight and the doctors said her surgery today went VERY WELL! YAY!! She may get to go home by Thursday, and they will arrange to have therapy at home after that for however long is needed. But so far, prognosis sounds good! I'm so relieved. ;D Lynne, I'm sure it will be a while before she's totally fine, as it was for you, but I know she'll be happy to hear your story. She knows it will take a while to get her hands back to normal, but she'll do the work! LadyMaserati, I will definitely tell S about your package from Australia and if I know S, she will collect her mail one way or another before she leaves that hospital! At any rate, I will tell her you mailed something to her. That was really sweet of you! I will update after I talk to her again if there's any more news. OH--and LYNNE--congrats on your future grandaughter! One of each is perfect, and so happy she is healthy! And also glad your little grandson is doing well, too.
