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.”

- 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.
Your gratitude is my mantra these days with almost anywhere I am or anything I do. Tough times.
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm so sorry to hear this news. Your love and care will see her through this journey. Thank God for hospice.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear of Poolie's diagnosis. She is still in good spirits by the sound of it.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear that. Dang it!!!!!
ReplyDeleteMage, I have read all your lovely posts about your friend and seen the love in your words. I'm sure you show her that love in person when you can - she needs it more than ever now ~ Cathy
ReplyDeleteI am saddened by this turn of events. I worry about her... Gentle healing hugs to her via mental telepathy... Prayers almost non-stop.
ReplyDeleteI hope all goes as well as possible.
ReplyDeleteWay 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.
