Hey, y'all.
This sucks. I'm having surgery on Mississippi Tuesday. I won't be able to go to the polls. The first time in 24 years of voting that I have not voted on election day. Hoping to vote early (absentee) tomorrow.

My surgery was scheduled last week, and it never dawned on me that surgery day and election day were the same day. My son brought this to my attention yesterday! I almost cried.

So, I won't be here as the results come in on Tuesday night. I'll be in a hospital room. Dammit.

Y'all take up my slack and celebrate big if Hillary wins.

Love you all. :hug: :loveya:

2. Sorry to hear that. You must be really really disappointed.
Hope your surgery goes well and you will be back online soon. Do you have a laptop?

4. Thanks...
Yeah, I have a laptop...but I'll probably take a week's vacation from DU after surgery.

Thanks for the good wishes.

6. Good luck with your surgery
I hope it isn't anything too serious. Taking a break from DU after surgery is probably a good idea. All that hate and venom out there can't be conducive to a speedy recovery.

Best wishes!

But if we win Mississippi, I'm going to find a nurse's lounge or somewhere a the hospital to post! LOL.

5. It just won't be the same around here, alas.
Laptop? Designated lurker? But we don't want to hear about you sneaking out the door, gown flapping in the breeze, to log in! :hug: :hi:

Well, as soon as I'm home from the hospital, or as soon as my son can get to my computer, I'll have someone post an update.

Thanks, you all. :hug:

7. I'll make a margarita,
one for me and one for you, if she wins.

Of course, I will drink them both either way. A girl's gotta have her fun.

26. And she's having a slumber party.
There will be five seven and eight year old girls in my home. All plan to wear their Hannah Montana pajamas while watching Hannah on tv while listening to Miley sing on her cd. Oh, and they are planning late-night Hannah makeovers-glitter, heavy eyeliner and wigs included. Once they are done with their makeovers we will have Hannah/Miley karaoke.

By that time I plan on passing out with a bottle of Wild Turkey in my hand.

28. I work in a PoDunk hospital and we have it, call and find out, also, please read.
Edited on Thu Mar-06-08 11:41 PM by Hoof Hearted

WE NEED YOU!

DON'T GO MADDY ...... DON'T GO!




........ pulling myself back together....

You get well soon and don't be shy about asking for the drugs. Be proactive in your care. You lean on that call button as hard and as often as you feel like it if you need something, that is precisely what it is there for.

This is important. --->


Watch and make absolutely certain that EVERY person that enters your room washes their hands before they touch you or anything that you will touch.

MRSA is a BITCH and it can kill the young and healthy.

INSIST that they all wash their hands from the housekeeper on up to the doctor. DO NOT be shy about insisting that a physician wash her or his hands.

31. I will certainly do this. Thank you for this awesome advice!
I meet with my doctor on Monday before the Tuesday surgery. Should I ask her if the hospital's had any msra in it?

Thanks SO MUCH for this great advice!

32. Maddy, they ALL have MRSA now, that's how bad it is. Be a pain in the ass.
It's the best way to be safe.

If I'm too out of it to be a PITA, I'll make sure that my mom is. She'll be staying in the hospital with me.

I really appreciate this very useful advice. :hug:
