Update on wifes brain surgery

Pooky1 — Fri, 15 Oct 2021 19:42:05 GMT

Ria came home from hospital about 11 am today. She was in great spirits. She saw all of us and the dog. The dog been looking very unhappy since she went to the hospital. Dogs now laying against her. I'm amazed. To look at her you would never think she just had brain surgery . they call it decompression surgery. When you see the scare then you know she had brain surgery. She came home with 7 prescriptions. She said for the first 17 hours she was throwing up and intence pain. I thank everyone for your thoughts, prayers and well wishes.

Hi, Pooky1......Ever since I saw your post a while back, I kept asking GOD to have the surgeons find another way to tackle the issue so that your wife's recovery would be much easier.

I could not forget your post. It stayed on my mind. No one should ever have to suffer so terribly like that. I see the first 17 hours were not good but she's home now. I did not know when the surgery was, I kept wondering.

I'm so glad it's over though. I knew it was sometime in October, some time in the middle, I was not sure but again. I'm so very glad that's over. Yes, a lot of prescriptions but maybe that will go down as she recovers over time. You must've been so worried. I know, I worried about my husband's surgery years ago and that was no way near as serious. Every once in a while, I checked back to see if you posted. So glad I found it.

Please tell your wife that I'm glad she's home and that I wish her a speedy recovery and that GOD restores her to full health. Thank you for letting us know. God bless, hon. XXXOOO ps...keep us posted, if you want or if possible.

Wonderful news. With you and her canine companion, she couldn't ask for better support.

The best to both of you and dog, too. I know it's been tough.

Wonderful! I'm so happy Pooky, for you and for Ria!

And as the first hurdle is behind her, next comes rest, rehabilitiation and recovery. Appearances can certainly be deceiving as she has been through so much! My heart goes out to her for her sheer courage and determination! What an inspiration.

Ria will need to heal mentally as well as physically. It is so important to have someone with you and you are definitely fitting the bill.

When I was finally released after weeks in the hospital after my brain aneurysm rupture, I came home to an (almost) empty house. Hub was a truck driver then and the doctor had insisted he stay with me while I was in my first two weeks in intensive care. When I was released the following month, he had long ago returned to work. I mention all this only as my fur daughter (who has since passed) never left my side and looking back, not sure I would have made it without her or my few devoted friends who helped out. Pets instinctively know something is wrong and want to be there. How lovely your wife has her as well.

Always looking out for your posts. Please remember one step at a time. Wishing Ria steady improvement - God bless both of you.

I'm glad that Ria is through the surgery and she is home with you and pup. Sorry that she has had a rough time. You say she is in "great spirits" and this will help her health and get back on track quickly. With your support and a furry friend by her side, she can't help but feel better. Take good.care of yourself as well as your wife...wishing you and Ria a long happy life ahead..

I'm so happy to hear she is home @Pooky1. It's a wonderful day when you can go home from the hospital, get more comfortable, and have loved ones (including "doggie") to greet you and welcome you home. Hope she heals quickly. She has a lot of people rooting for her and keeping her in their thoughts and prayers.

How fabulous. My Mom had a brain tumor removed

the size of a large grapefruit. When I visited the next day in icu she was sitting up eating scrambled eggs.

I have fainted twice in my life, that was one time.

Maybe it was the sheer relief, shock?

So happy for you and your family.
