She had a CAT scan done yesterday but apparently it wasn't too revealing.
The docs (hopefully NOT ducks) say she has some kind of infection - but they don't yet know what it is!
She is scheduled to have another type of scan today - hopefully it will reveal something.
She's currently in a lot of pain - she said she feels like crap - but I know she really meant to say that she feels like total dog @!#$ -- but she was just trying to be lady-like!
I know she would appreciate your continued prayers & positive thoughts going her way.
She has requested that no one try to call her up at the hospital as it is too taxing on her to receive phone calls now -- besides I think she's on some good pain medication for a change -- let her "enjoy" it. (my words - not hers)
Anyway - if you have any messages for her that might cheer her up - leave them here or start another string with her name in the title & her hubby will print them off and take them up to the hospital for her to read!
***************************************
So -- Tutu, honey - you get well real soon. And if you think you're dealing with ducks and are too loopy to cuss them out...well, you just call me and I'll be glad to do it for you.
Seriously, Tutu -- my prayers are with you and I will envision you well -- even better than before.
To Tutu's hubby -- hey man - I know you healthy guys may not be all that interested in the medical field - but you make sure you know what drugs they're giving her -- and you need to call her LLMD and let him know what's going on too so the hospital docs don't give her something that her LLMD wouldn't want. Yes, I am a bossy woman. Be glad I'm not your neighbor!
Blessings to you TuTu,

You are going to get through this. I remember when I was a newbie, and you may not remember this at all, (it's been over a year), but you were the first to welcome me, and to send me to Dr. C.! YOU were the best, in my time of darkness.
I wish you the ABSOLUTE BEST! I know that you are going to recover from this, and come home soon!!
my best,
Erica
I hope you feel better real soon and I'll keep you in my prayers and thoughts. Please keep us updated.
God Bless,

You're in our thoughts. Try to get as much rest as you can (I know, it's tough to rest in hospitals) but keep taking your pain meds to give you body a chance to rest at least.
We'll keep things going here at Lymenet until you get back. You just concentrate on getting better.
We miss you bunches!

Tabby
We miss you much & need you back soon.
What can one say? My heart sank when I read:
"Lymetoo in ER"
NO, NO ,NO my inner voice cried, not Lymetoo. Enough is enough.
I so hope it is something which is relatively simple to treat.
Please get better. We need you.
Janet
Please get well soon! You ARE one of the main reasons this board is so friendly.
Hey..
Get better soon and...and...I'll get you a special pair of suspenders!!!

Things are very confusing here--I have been gone for about a month and am not sure what is going on--feels like the $@# has hit the fan.
I hope you will feel better and get back online soon--we need you!
Don't forget to get a perminent magic marker and print all over your body "NO STEROIDS."
I am praying so hard for you and your family. Make sure someone stays with you at night.
GET WELL SOON, please!
Much love, prayers and well wishes,
Linda LD
P.S. We had our first East Tennesse Lyme support meeting on the 16th--it went really well!
Our thoughts and prayers are with you for a speedy recovery!

(I like the holiday inn express too! 
)
Keep the pain meds coming and be gentle with your wonderful self....
I stayed an extra week after my gall bladder operation too...ended up with an ERCP... If that's where you're heading, no worries. It's a piece of cake compared to what you've already had to deal with.
In any case you have my prayers and well wishes heading your way...

Wishing you a speedy recovery. I hope the doctors can find out what is wrong..I was in the hospital last June for 6 days with a mystery infection..it turned out to be viral encephalitis..
I sure hope they find out what is wring with you ASAP and that you are feeling better.
Derek, Mikayla and myself are keeping you in our thoughts and prayers.
Hugs and wellness,
~Missy
Hang in there, lady. You can beat this thing. Sleep lots and have your hubby sneak some decent food into you (if you can eat), and maybe a little Xango Tango.
Bc
We miss you...we miss you...Please, please, get well and back here soon.
I've just sent a ton of healthy wishes priority mail...did they get there! I'll send another bunch tomorrow, and the next day and next, until we see you back here.

Tutu, hey kid .. best wishes on getting rid of that awful infection you have. Been there; done that.
To Tutu's husband .... THANK YOU for sharing Tutu with all of us here on lymenet. She is what this board is supposed to represent:
caring, encouraging, giving great links to what we want to know, her endless birthday list of greetings, etc.
Tutu, we all miss you, and wishing you a successful & COMPLETE recovery very SOON.
love, bettyg
They are performing a certain scan every 24 hours until they can determine the area of infection.
She will probably be in the hospital for 3 more days....unless things change.
She is on IV abx.
Sends her good wishes and was happy to read your thoughts and prayers.

Mend well,

Glad you're making improvements daily. We miss your tutu hanging around on this lively board.
Best wishes for a complete recovery from this.

I hope you get home asap, and start feeling better day by day..

I hope they are taking good care of you in that duck motel. Get well soon!!!
Love,

You were the first to respond to me as a newbie two years ago and have always been kind, forthcoming and bring a smile to everyones face.
Thanks for all the wonderful, heartfelt greetings!

Do not take anything I say as medical advice. I am not a doctor, but I DID stay at a Holiday Inn Express!
oops!

All those virtual ballet exercises will have you back in form soon I hope!
Whew! Glad to have you home and on the mend!
Ain't life grand!
What a relief to hear from you, I was so worried.
When you're up up it please let us know what the heck happened to you.
Janet
Now don't eat any more cats!!!!!

I suspect an infection i picked up in the hospital...but perhaps not one surrounding the GB itself...all theory.

Just wondering, since they didn't find the source of the infection, do ya still gotta pay for the visit?

SOooo Glad you are back home - and altho you are feeling puny -- I'm glad you have the energy to stop by and say hi to all your adoring fans.
Now wouldn't you figure - the most popular thread I've ever started on this message board had absolutely NOTHING to do with me!! That's not good if you're a narcissist! Oh well -- at least I can be popular by assocaition ....with YOU my dear!
I've been meaning to call you...got busy planning for and living through (surviving) our annual Luau party. Now I'm so totally miserable --paying a high price for the experience. But I'll call you soon, when I can talk without whining!
Love ya, gal!
Blesings - -and keep "Mr. Tu-Tu" doting on you!
