Sending love and healing prayers your way…

Sue

Please send my love, we are certainly praying for her! Renee in San Rafael

Hi Alison, Normally as soon as I wake up, I check my mail and read the papers before checking blog updates, but today I went straight to yours to see how you are. I’m glad to read the surgeons are happy it went well. I thought of you when I flipped the calendar to August 6th. It’s “tomorrow.” Wishes for a quicker than expected recovery!

Thinking of you every day and sending healing energy your way. I sure hope this time does the trick.

Sending along healing energy and positive thoughts. Hang in there, we’re pulling for you!

Thank you so much for letting us know.
Alison, after tomorrow or Friday, every day will get better and better.

The yarn will wait patiently, as will we.

Perhaps you will be able to sketch a few ideas by Sunday. Remember Mr. Turtle. slow and steady :-}

Oh, I’m so glad to hear that the surgery was a success! Granted, successful surgery still feels awfully brutal from inside that body – I can only imagine… Please give Alison our very best wishes, and wrap her (gently) in those afghans so she knows how many of us are holding her in our thoughts.

Thanks for the update! Sending my very best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Please pass on all of our love. She is in our prayers. Your job is the hardest – keeping her away from pointy objects till she back enough to knit.

Please give Allison our love and healing thoughts from SW MO!

Thank you for taking the time to share the update with us!

Sending prayers of love, peace and determination as well as best wishes for a speedy recovery!

Thank you for letting us know how Alison made out. To hear of her frowning – well, it must hurt pretty badly.

Alison, I’m sending you all sorts of good thoughts from north central Massachusetts. It’s a beautiful day and each time I appreciate it I’ll send a little prayer up requesting quick healing and no more problems for you.

Please give Alison my love and prayers – I hope she heals quickly and that those around her are as well as can be.

Allison,

You are in my thoughts and prayers.

lots of love and virtual soft hugs and prayers coming your way —

Bless you for the update. Tell her to take her time and heal well; we’ll be here praying and waiting.

Thanks for posting – sending love to both of you.

sending my best. Hoping it just keeps getting better and better…

Thankyou for keeping us updated on how she is doing and bless her she is a trooper glad to hear all went well sending her healing prayers and thoughts.((((Hugs))))Darcy

Hugs and kisses coming your way with prayers for a quick healing and strength and comfort for your caregivers.

Alison was in my bedtime prayers. It was good to receive word of her with my morning coffee.

Anesthesia and hearing risk make me recall that my mother’s ear doctor always worried about anesthesia. It’s one of life’s trade-offs.

Hugs, Alison. We are all looking forward to having you out and about, handing out finger puppets.

I checked just before I went to bed last night but I’m on east coast time. Thank you so much for posting the update.

I know only too well how the day after feels. It takes about 2 weeks before there is any recognition that having the surgery was worthwhile.

Sending healing prayers and wings to carry away some of the pain.

Alison,
I am catching up with reading and commenting and I am sorry to be late with this. My thoughts are with you this time too. I hope for a quick and as little pain as possible recovery.

Denise

Thanks for the update Richard.

I’m glad to hear that she was pretty out of it due to the pain factor. While any surgery is a painful, this one is a *real* pain in the butt.

Some of the pain meds may keep her really out of it. (My experience has been: morphine, zzzzz, huh?, morphine, zzzz, etc. Sleep is good while healing.)

Give Alison my love and let her know we are praying for her speedy recovery.

Karen (of the water turtles)

Sending good healing vibes her way. And a hug.
Julie

Praying for your quick recovery!

God Bless

I know you feel awful, Alison but, wanted to let you know I’m thinking about you and praying for you and sending you get-well-soon wishes!
-Abby

Sending get well wishes, patience, and happy thoughts to all of you.

I wish you a speedy recovery.

Another set of get well wishes for Alison. Prayers and virtual hugs – very gentle ones – too. Hang in there, and thanks for the post on her behalf. . .

Thank you for the update. I really do not expect to hear much from our sweetie for a few days. I am taking a couple days off from work, to knit, in her honor–every stitch a prayer

Ditto what everybody said, ignoring Don’s jokes. I think there are rules against laughing while you are stitched or stapled in place.

I am almost glad that Karen (of the water turtles) made the PITB comment first. 🙂

Thanks for the update, Richard (and for the smiles, Karen and Don). Alison, our hopes for a smooth and speedy recovery.

::muah:: sending love all the way from Massachusetts

Thank you Richard, I love Alison, and I’m hoping for the very best recovery for her.

Keeping you all in my thoughts.

I find it especially apropos that today’s “Main” article on Wikipedia is on phagocytes:

“Phagocytes are the white blood cells that protect the body by ingesting (phagocytosing) harmful foreign particles… ”

Here’s hoping that Alison’s “Leuk” and his cousins do their jobs appropriately!

I was checking back for updates and comments and like Gaby, I think we need smiles even if Alison has to wait a few days before she checks Don’s jokes. I know she loves his jokes, and will be delighted when her husband shows them to her again when she is well in just a few days or so! Alison, you know there is joy and jokey online friendship when you begin to heal in a few days! It won’t be too long before you can add your comments to other blogs again.

She has in a loopy dopy way scanned the comments, but she is still drifting in and out of it. I will post an update before I go to bed tonight

Bless you Richard. I know how difficult it is to watch our loved ones in pain. Allison, I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

my prayers are with you. hope you have a quick recovery.

Hope you feel better very soon. Hang in there my dear…

There right beside the bed… in spirit. Love to you all.

Alison I’m wishing you a speedy recovery. Richard, Thank you for keeping us all in the loop. Pat

Hugs and prayers, Alison! Glad you came through the surgery well… come back to us soon!

Very happy to know that the surgery went well. I am keeping both of you in my thoughts and prayers.

Love and good thoughts coming your way
