As most people knew I was going in hospital monday gone. I will give update here.
it was eventfull day.
I arrived hospital 07-30 and was in 4th place for the op. That was good. I due course I was taken to operation theator and I had a spinal, it did not go in easy because of a twist in my spine but they got there, even better a short acting Spainal .Anesthetic - Good means home earlir. They fixed a canulla to my hand, but needle went through my vein - Plaster on and found another vein.
So op happened and was easy, I had a bad breathing spell for a minute or two, but went fine. They zapped everything in sight. So I was good to go when . Anesthetic worse of and I passed water, all done best time ever. I got my discharge papers and a blood bag for a psa blood test in 6 weeks, they found a nodule on my prostate, OK I have had one on my right lung sinse 2021 - so I will wait and see,
However Victoria ran Anne and me home, I went in house Anne followed and she shouted what's that - I looked on floor loads of blood - i must hadsnragged the plaster off but lookes like vein is popped, scared me because I thought it had something to do withn op, - then saw blood coming from my vein - Anne cleaned it up and now except for large bruise, seems ok - Staff at hospital brilliant so if psa test is fine - looks rosey.
My painting I did two, much to tired to have to think a lot so painted a fantasy painting island in the Sky, and desert cactus in a damcing pose looking accross the water than met the desert, Desert Cactus and opuntia.

We all need some peace Ern and your painting are wonderful. I wish you peace and I’m pleased things went well apart from the scare at home. Hoping that nodule isn’t a concern. Take care xxx❤️
Eventful indeed! But it sounds like you did well and I hope there's only good news. And thank you for posting the paintings. Whenever I see one they are a bright spot in my day.
An eventful day Ern - thank God you have family around. As for the paintings me thinks the cacti were crying out for peace! God knows the world needs it. But greedy humans seek power and control over one another. Your sky island is so unusual, and surreal. I could sit and puzzle over that composition for hours. PS Did I tell you of a 95 year old patient wanting to fly back home to Florida. He and his wife travelled this morning. From hospital to airport by ambulance and then business class. And once in Palm Beach to rehab. I'd been visiting him for near 4 months. He finally made it out of hospital and I wait to hear more in days and weeks ahead.
Thank you David. Yes I won'tforget in a hurry, other than thet what happen, staff was brilliant, I think some leaders are dispicable and just in the game for what they can get out. Big decission on the painting, I had closer up views, but I think this showd what I wanted the best, i think you did mention the 95 year old - Good on him doing that distance, I think the climate will be a big help for him. I bet you do want a follow up after visiting him for 4 months,
Against protocol, i accepted their contact details and gave them mine. Sometimes one has to cross the boundary lines, life can be like that - once you give all of yourself, what then can you withheld? It's a tricky one I know but my conscience is clear and I have done what I think is right.
Protocol is sometimes nessassary but not I would think In you giving contact and recieving contact details with these people one of which you cared for - Protocol can get in the way sometime against what is right. I reading your posts can't see any reason your conscience should be anything other than clear.
So pleased your friends have got back home to Florida @ 95 that's a heck of a trip and hope he is well. We sometimes make friends with people and have an instant contact and good that you are keeping in touch x
It went very smooth helen - Until I got my vein popped. PSA there is history in my family but nothing has coem to light bar a node and I wait 6 weeks, in fact he put drawn 24th december, that's got to be wrong. I have a node in my right upper lung, tested every year and never moved, So as you say, just wait and see,
So. pleased everything went smoothly,apart from the trauma at home! Nodule just needs keeping an eye on but thankfully bloods are ok. Loving these pictures, definitely put a smile on my face. Thanks for sharing Ern and I bet you’re glad it’s all over.
what an eventful day, but I’m glad it went well apart from the scare when you got back. That was very dramatic even just reading it! I hope you’re feeling more recovered from it all by now. Thank you for sharing your uplifting paintings too.
Glad you're safely home and painting again after your outing to the hospital on Monday. Hope all goes as you most wish. No more bleeding scares, please
Hi ern you certainly had a scare with your vein popping ,it happened to me when they tried to draw blood its a bit of a panic moment. I'm glad glad the op went well and doing the painting whilst tired is no mean feat .I thank you for a little peace in a crazy world. On Wednesday my husband decided to build a trellis last week while I was shopping. I came home and he had put the ladder he was Standing on through his lower leg .he needed a tourniquet and ambulance to get it stitched up ,scary moments with me administering 1st aid.
So glad things went well for you Ern, apart from the vein popping which must have been a scary moment. Hope you are feeling well this morning. Your cacti look like somebodgy said "hands up " lol x
Hello Ern, So pleased all went well at the hospital and can imagine how your anxiety turned to relief when the procedure was over, even if you had a little leak of the red stuff!
Although you have been through a lot you still give us lovely pictures. Your almost surreal earth painting was interesting showing roots, may be showing hope of a new growth?
Thank you Lupino - After my op and after I wanted to create something different, the Floating island painting I did not do as a triangle as I have done before. I think "almost surreal" -"new growth" I like that had not looed at it that way,
Hi Ern, thank you for posting the lovely painting, we all need some peace in this scary world we live in. Brilliant your op was relatively ok 👍. I had that problem with a vein. He had tried several for a cannula & finally found one he could use. Then it bled every where, all over the bed, over my clothes and on the floor! I was lucky as it happened in hospital😁. Take care ❤️xxx
Thank you Nula - I enjoyed creating these two paining. a little off beat I know, I am ok with bladder. I have a nodule that I have to have a blood test for in 6 weeks, I have a nodule on my lung but it's never growm, They put the cannula in back of my hand, my veins are small there, when I have a CT Scan, they put cannula for contrast in the crook of my atm where large veins are. I bled at home. there was a plaster on but when I was going through front door. I must have dragged plaster off. Anne spotted blood and I though op site, then i saw it flowing from my hand, what a mess , Anne sorted it for me. was scary because a lot of blood.xxx
Thank you watergazer - I am ok but yep, was a scare. Now just a blood test to have. would you believe christmas eve; then free until into New Year, ? xx
Hi Ern007, glad to hear the hospital went well . Last time I had a leak from a cannula it went all over the bed etc but it soon stopped bleeding, just like yours . You are lucky to have someone at home to help sort it out. Hope your PSA is clear. Peace
reminds me of YOKO ONO and John Lennon in the 60s. the pictures brought a smile to my face so you are making fellow sufferers feel good and I am sure you get a lot of pleasure from it yourself. Enjoy the rest of your day its lovely and sunny here lovely Autumn day no rain . Bye for now ,take care.
Thank you katie - yes I am lucky to have Anne to help. I hope PSA is clear, it runs in the family .bIt is just a node and no push for PSA, Yes I remember John and Yoko song. give Peace a Chance - I liked that. my pictures a little tongue in cheek but I was no on to be serious and I enjoyed painting them. No rain here, yet. You also take care.
Glad your op went well Ern, apart for the troublesome vein, scary. Your paintings always bring joy, I love seeing them. Particularly love your island in the sky would love to be transported there on this rather dull day. My goodness do we need peace! x
