Just back from visiting Paula. She and I have been very touched by all your comments on the earlier thread. Thank you so, so much for those and for all the prayers, thoughts, good wishes and vibes you've sent our way. They've had an impact.
In brief
- Wound healing very well.
- No test results showing any infection
- She's enjoying life more, walking round the ward etc
But
- Stomach area still distended
- Oedema (swelling from fluid) in legs. Wearing compression stockings
- Coughing painfully (cough now assumed not to be from infection)
- Very tired
- Treatment for CLL still suspended. To be reviewed in 10 days
- Maybe coming home by weekend
Many thanks again.
Peter

Trundling along yesterday as I drove through the murk and gloom in the early morning I suddenly saw a squirel hop out the hedge and dance around, before hoping off again.
Took that as a good sign.
Many thanks Peter for the good news and really hope you can make it out for the weekend.
Only you Paula in the midst of the struggle to get better would have visited our community to see how everyone is getting along.
I noted a like on my post when Peter posted about you, then realised a like in the reply box on all the messages was most probably you letting us know you had read them.
I hope our deep concern for you and the vibes and prayers help.
Thank you Peter for letting us know how Paula is coming along.
Peter - please pass on my best regards to Paula - Its so good to hear that she is ,making slow but positive recovery from her recent sudden problems and surgery.
Paula knows that I am also taking the Idelaslib Drug - but with much lesser side effects than her.

Here I am bringing recuperation and health to her, and I will heal them and reveal to them an abundance of peace and truth.
Peter, thankyou for your post, have been looking daily for an update.... so glad to hear the vibes are positive for Paula. "Always look on the bright side of life"b.w. hazel
I would like to add my voice to all the other members of the community supporting you Paula. Stay strong and know that so many are wishing you and your family well
Thanks for the update.So nice to have good news to start the day ! Paula has been through so much,you will both be in my thoughts and prayers. Warm wishes, Pumpkin
Thank you for the update. So happy to hear of Paula's progress. Slow and steady wins the race! Wishing you continued steps in the right direction. Sending good wishes to all of you.
Wonderful news that you are on the mend! You're such an inspiration and special lady. My continued prayers and God's grace to you. Thank you Peter for keeping us updated.
Thank you so much Peter for the update on Paula. It's lovely to hear she is doing well and could be home at the weekend. Take good care of yourselves, we are still sending good vibes your way!
Brilliant news Peter and thanks for updating. Paula you must take care not to overdo things if allowed home. Recovery is now on the way and just think Christmas is quite near. Something to look forward too! I think we all benefit from being at home though
I sure hope you are going home, Paula. Hospitals are not good recovery places. Were you given idelalisab, as a friend of mine is still recovering. Every black box warning listed he endured, and he is not doing well. Everyone sure reacts differently to the same thing...hope the rest of your problems resolve quickly, and surely I would think of another treatment after you recover. It was so good to hear from you personally...gives us all hope, although your husband has been greatly informative. Hope your next note will be from home...prayers and best wishes.
Glad your recovering from what must of been a frightening time for you and your family, I hope your now at home in the warmth and surrounded by your loved ones,have a nice restful weekend lv Julia
