[quote:Isis One:MV8yMzkxMDE5XzY5NzQyMzY1XzU3RDM1RUJF] [quote:Simple27:MV8yMzkxMDE5XzY5NzMwMjMzX0RBMkM3MTYy] Loooonnnnggggg day! First I have to say thank you to MoN, jo & Kickin for keeping the earthquake updates rolling consistently! :rockon: Seriously, thank you all SO much!! To all three of you... :ufreakinrock: Of course Mini's surgery was the more involved one. Things were worse than thought once the surgeon could see more. She's doing well all things considered, although in pain. She's a tough little cookie though. Very alert when she woke up from the surgery and very independent getting to the car and into my mom's house afterwards. She put down a good number of chicken fingers as soon as we got there too lol. Her choice of food, but shocked me she wanted (and killed) chicken fingers right after waking up from surgery! It all caught up to her though (as well as the pain medication) and she started feeling tired and a bit weak after a little while. I got her all set up in a bedroom there with everything she needed and then went to pick up her FIVE prescriptions. Sheesh. Painkillers, blood thinners, nausea medication, constipation medication and an aspirin for when the blood thinners are finished. Went back, gave her the meds she was due for and then hung out with my mom, sister, niece and nephew for a bit which was really nice. : ) Oh, Mini's father decided today was one of the days that he would actually be a father to her (I just love how he picks and chooses when to be involved - very few and very far between). Kind of annoyed me that my mother had to sit in the waiting room so that he could come with me into the pre-op room with Mini to meet with the surgeon, nurse and anesthesiologist. He will have zero part in her recovery. No aspect of it. I don't think she's seen him since Christmas, the one day per year he gives her an hour and a half of his time. Ugh. My mom should've been in there with me as she will be the one taking care of and helping Mini while I'm at work for the next SIX weeks, not her show-up-when-it's-convenient-and-makes-me-look-like-a-superhero 'father'. No, I didn't say these things to or in front of Mini. That's not how I roll. But it sure as hell is how I feel. And so does she without ANY influence from me. He's just that lame. She has to wear a brace that is basically the length of her leg to keep it straight for the next 6 weeks. The first 4 of those weeks she will also need to use crutches. She just lost her summer vacation really. It's a bummer. The less involved surgery would've had her walking this weekend. No exaggeration. So it's disappointing, but the surgery went well and she's doing good so far. She's gonna be miserable so quickly. She can't cheer now all summer and won't be able to compete with the team in the Fall. We'll get through this though, of course. Thank you all who sent love, prayers, thoughts, vibes, etc. Much appreciated reading through as I was catching up. :grouphug: [/quote] ahhh, poor kiddo! That's a lot to take on for a teen. Too bad about the ex situation, that's too much for Mom to take on, jeeezz!!!!! Glad you have such a great Mon providing all that support. Sending good energy for excellent recovery path. [/quote]

I accidentally deleted the OP of this thread during some glitch issues on GLP this morning (10/30/17).
I will be posting some useful links in the next post to make it easier for those posting so you don't have to scroll through a massive OP. :)
I had to delete the first two comments on this thread to do so, but wanted to keep them so I've put them below.
5* and I'm on board.. Simple.. I'm sorry about CH.. He will be missed greatly..

I also would like to mention that I know this thread has MANY pages and that it can be somewhat intimidating to join/chime in on a long standing thread as a new member/AC (I've experienced it when I first joined GLP), but we are a VERY welcoming group to those who newly join us. We are a small family of sorts who are all mostly interested in the same earth-related topics (quakes/solar/volcanoes/weather/etc.) and share info on each of those topics as well as 'off-topic' discussions. We genuinely care for one another here and even when we do not agree with each other, we ALWAYS respect each other.
I truly enjoy when new folks join us here. All that I ask is to show respect. :)
