Jed Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Thanks guys, had a shocking night last night, lots of pain, :p bad day today, slept all afternoon. Thanks for the good wishes, blue nurse is great, advised her about barf for her cocker (couldn't help myself ), and the dressings stay on all day. My friend is holding up ok, a few stiff drinks .............. She has dogs, (schnauzers and a kelpie), so there is some doggy company Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barkon Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Nothing better then doggy company to make you feel better! Won't be long and you'll have your own doggies for company again soon. You're doing a great job of getting better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Harminee~ Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Jed speak to your nurse about the pain it might pay to go to a GP for a script for something when the pain is really bad ( since your GP is probably too far away) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ker Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Jed, you are incredible. You're so philosophical about things - I'd probably still be a mess! I third the idea of an MDBA award named after Jed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piper Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Jed, You are "sounding" more like you in your posts now which is great. I hope the healing continues and you soon feel well enough to be out of hospital. Sucks that they discharged you when you dont feel up to it, but I agree with the less infection risk comments.

flatchat Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 I would definitely speak to nurse about pain meds....can't heal as well if your body is fighting pain!! Thinking of you Jed and sending positive vibes for a better night. Sleep is the best healer!! :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jed Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Thanks Harminee, I have enough pain meds, including 3 diferent sorts of morphine, but sometimes the pain overcomes it. And we can't do anything but go on. IMHO showing the depth of our feelings to strangers only embarrasses them, but don't be fooled, I will never recover from losing those 5 dogs. Never. It doesn't get better with age either. I worried that I came across on TV as uncaring but I can't talk about the dogs without breaking down. The TV edited some of the interview..

flatchat Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 You definitely didn't come across as uncaring on the interview Jed. And no one who has read your posts over the years could doubt for a nanosecond the depth of your love for your precious dogs. I think you are amazing and I am humbled by your bravery...not just by rescuing those dogs that you could, but also for sharing your journey since with us. Take care.

Robbi Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Jed, I wish we could take some of your grief and pain away from you, please know that you are truly an inspirational woman to me and I am sure everybody else here on dol, the loss of your dogs is heartbreaking. On the more selfish side, thank goodness you are well enough to post, some of the bsl threads turned quite ugly without your voice of reason and wisdom.

redangel Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Evening Jed I think its a shame people are moved from hospital before the are comfortable in doing so. That being said there is more staph and nasties creeping in hospitals in higher concentration than in the average home. Im sorry to hear you have been in pain overnight, good to hear you are happy with your nursing care you are recieving out of hospital. I second the comment above on pain management, you have been brave all theough this, dont tolerate any more pain than you need to- you need to rest to heal.

I worried that I came across on TV as uncaring but I can't talk about the dogs without breaking down. The TV edited some of the interview.. Jed I don't think there is a person here who would judge you as being uncaring or anything remotely like it, and we all can empathise with the depth of your feelings for the furbabies you lost. Even though many of us have lost dogs in tragic circumstances, none of it would come close to what you have gone through. Just remember we are all here for you and we will help in what ever capacity is needed. You may never recover from losing your babies, but you will love others with the same depth and whilst they won't replace any that you lost, they will help fill a little of the gap that they left. It all seems so difficult now, but you will find your way back. what you have gone through has changed you forever, but you will get to a place where life is once again good.

Been away and hadn't checked this thread for a while, welcome back Jed. You certainly didn't come across as uncaring on the TV. Hoping you get an improvement each day.

Wilbur Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Hi Jed Hoping you have a trouble free night and continue to improve (lots of very gentle hugs) Perhaps some Active Manuka Honey would be of help inner and external healing?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
