she's got serious strength of will to be going through all of this without giving up. glad she woke up after that last surgery.

 

No. But I don't want to derail this thread, so I will speak no more.

I'm glad she's doing well. Best wishes to you.

 

Empathy = Deep understanding of one's emotions and feelings. Imagine if this happened to your wife, fiance, girlfriend, mom, sister, etc.

OP, many kudos to you for keeping strong for your girl through this horrible ordeal. Like some others out there, I'm not much for praying, but you've got all of my hopes and wishes that everything turns out great for you all.

 

so like a CT scan?

best wishes to the OP hope she gets well soon

 

don't think you typically go under for a CT...?
i didn't for mine.

 

My prayers are with her. I can't imagine how you must feel.

 

She explained it more to me today, its an actual video of her insides... crazy huh? Like its so the doctors can see how her heart is operating and lungs, ect ect.. I'm not sure exactly what they do but I haven't heard of it before.

She was really weak for a couple days after the surgery to the point of where she couldnt even stand up. This morning I felt really bad for her... for some reason she couldnt speak, literally. She tried to talk to me on the phone but she couldnt talk. She was crying because it scared her, but I assured her her voice would come back and I just let her sit on the phone while I sang songs to her. She is walking now with a limp she says. Shes still pretty weak, but today after her voice came back we started talking like we used to because she had a lot more energy. Shes sleeping now, so.. I really thank you guys for all being here for me, its just a good place to go and type my thoughts and have some people reply to it, kinda gets it off my chest a bit.

She is a really strong person, and she told me today that she doesnt think she could have made it without me, which is really rewarding to hear, I'm glad that I'm making that big of an impact for her.

They gave her some really crazy medicine today, a shot in her side and she said it made her feel paralyzed from the waist down. The way she described it made me think of my nerve block I received when I had my acl reconstruction. She had her sister poke her with a needle lol and she couldnt feel it. Its crazy some of this chemo medicine that they use.. its so strong. I just wish there was a simple cure. Anyway, I'll keep everyone posted. Its a rollercoaster so... she will get better though, I know it.

What made me really mad is on the friday (her birthday) when she didnt awake from surgery for a while, I went ahead and called my manager to let her know I wouldnt be able to come into work the next day because I was really, really torn up as I'm sure you could imagine. Luckily she awoke, but I didnt care to call my manager back, I wanted to spend the saturday on the phone with her. So today I go into work to be confronted by my manager and she has the nerve to tell me that she thinks things aren't adding up. She was telling me how it doesnt make sense to her that I'm buying her birthday presents and calling in because she is sick, and that I'm taking days off for her companies formal when she is having all these surgeries. I almost went off on her. She was accusing me of lying about the whole thing. I explained to her that I was supposed to pick her up friday night, her birthday, after her surgery and she was having a party on saturday which is why I had her gifts ready. Then I went on to tell her, but because she didnt awake, she was not released, and so my presents for her are sitting at home still. I almost walked out and I am probably going to quit really soon because of this. I hate people like that...

Anyway... thanks for reading.

 

keep the good news coming, and when do we finally get to meet her

 

That's phenomenal news man.. Thanks so much for keeping us updated! She's a very strong woman, and from the sound of it, she's very lucky to have someone like you to be there for her, and by her side... (no homo)

Please continue to keep us all updated!

I'll keep you both in my prayers..

 

Are you able to visit her at the hospital?
