NEWS FROM FAR AFAR



The Captain at the opening of a Steampunk show at the Auto Museum.

Yesterday afternoon, we stayed at Scripps Mercy Hospital with Pam, Captain Poolies friend, and Poolie until they wheeled her away for an MRI.  The doctor told Pam that she wouldn’t have lived if she had stayed at the nursing home.  Pam overrode everyone yesterday and called 911.  Bravo Pam.

After we went to bed to a restless sleep Pam texted that they discovered a brain tumor.  It’s in the back of her head next to her spine.  It’s restricting her spinal fluid, and they are installing a port this morning as I write this. 

Poolie has maintained her sense of humor through out.  Feeling better this morning she texted, “Emergency brain surgery his morning. Please no faxe or calls.”

1105:  More tumor discovered.  Social workers coming to chat with her.

  • Himself:  Gym et al.  Monitoring texts from Pam, the Huston flooding is restricting work flow.  It’s going to be awful later.  Hospital.
  • Herself:  Pool.  Breakfast.  Put Poolie photos in one spot, Work on one quilt panel, chicken something dinner and hospital.
  • Reading:  The new Stabenov.
  • Gratitude’s:  That we can help if we are wanted.

  5. I am saddened by this turn of events. I worry about her... Gentle healing hugs to her via mental telepathy... Prayers almost non-stop.

  7. Way to go Pam. What do folks in nursing homes do who don't have someone to watch out for them? I do hope they can give her relief. At least now she is getting proper care. Prayers and good thoughts to her and all who love her.
