2. This is just surreal.
What on earth is going on??? I hope in a year this is just a crazy "remember when MFM went back and forth to rehab four times" story. Is it four? I swear I've lost count.

6. Yes, it was MFM's third try at rehab. I wonder, too, what is going on!
It sounds like something's blocked; this is the second time he had fluid buildup after going to rehab. The third time was a blood clot.

My mom had a mastectomy due to breast cancer eleven years ago, & she was told not to lift anything over 5 lbs. with her right arm. To me, it seems like MFM's heart surgery post-treatment would require the same restrictions.

:cry:

3. I just saw a thread that he started
darn I wish he would stabilize. His chart must look like a a dribbling basketball.
Maybe he is planning on staying til it gets cool outside?
At least he is in a place where little problems don't get out of hand.

4. I wish they'd stop trying to get him out of hospital so soon.
He knew they were rushing it, didn't he?


Three solid days in hospital before next exit to rehab would be very good.

7. I talked to him today...
And we discussed the "too early" issue. He told me that he asked the folks at the hospital to make sure they were certain he was ready to be transferred, and Oh yes, they were.

He cannot rest, and the anxiety of all this is getting to him.

He can't post much, but he can read his laptop, and the support he's getting here means The World.

8. Peggy....
Thank you for being there for him...for us.
You have the professional knowledge....and of course, as we all are aware...heart.

I only wish that you were there...his nurse.
You would fight for him.

Sometimes I escape in fantasy....


peace & love~

My nursing days are over, but I appreciate your kind thoughts.

It must be exhausting and frustrating, but hang in there brother. And once again, thank you so very much for all you're doing, Kali.

10. !@#$%^&*()_+!!!
(why can't MFM just stay in one place for a while like the snoozing kitteh?!)
UMC Rehab Center




MFM-I hope they keep you at UMC long enough this time to know you you're not going to be bounced back. And I think you should get the next doc that walks into your room to prescribe you a good multivitamin because you need a boost, and hospital food for that long ain't doing it.

Just my, and Popeye's 2¢

13. Sigh.
This is starting to sound like the same sort of course my attempts at finding a permanent job has taken, only in a far more compressed time frame. I hope they can figure it out this time. I miss his posts.

19. Shit!
Are we going to have to send in the Special Ops Bunnies to bust him out of there?







I do know that the day he finally gets discharged for good, we're gonna be all like:
