Margaret: I empathize totally with your frustration! Two weeks ago, Herb and I were leaving an appt. with the surgeon (who decided that Herbs second external drain into the gallbladder should remain in .. as surgery would be life threatening)we walked out of the hospital and Herb slipped and fell. Off we went to Emerg and sure enough … he broke his arm near the shoulder “through and through”. You have to wonder, when is enough enough? Hoping you hear very soon and both you and Tom will get the immediate attention you need. Thinking of you both and wishing Tom the best.

P.S. Herb is, in his usual manner, coping well ..his attitude is .. at least I didn’t break my hip!Favoritedaughter: Please check with your Dr. regarding meds for the scans. Herb takes an Ativan (relaxs him) before his scans. Also, he recently fell and broke his shoulder … he had a scheduled CT scan of chest, abdomen and pelvis three days later. The technician told Herb that he didn’t have to put his arm above his head or lay directly on his back. He said that they are usually able to make adaptions as necessary (ie truama pts) and as appropriate with individual pts. Discuss all options with Dr. and radiology.
Andie: You and your family are constantly in my prayers.So sorry that your dad has taken a turn for the worse. I am hoping you will all be granted the strength to deal with what may lay ahead. Enjoy each smile, moment and touch as they can all be added to your “book of memories”.
