Lymetoo is still in the hospital and wanted me to update all of her friends here at Lymenet.
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,
------------------ DR. Wiseass - not a real doc - just a real wise ass. www.twistoflyme.blogspot.com
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

TuTu,
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!

Dear Lymetoo-
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.

LymeToo Im so sorry to see you're now having to deal with this ontop of everything else.. Please stay strong and I'll be praying for you and your doctors.

Tutu,
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!

Holy Moly Tutu!
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...

Hi Lymetoo,
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.

Lymetoo:
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.
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.

Gayle is feeling better...she told me about 11:00 this AM that she was getting things 'moving' again...ha, ha.
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.

Hope things keep improving for you. Sounds like you're gonna be at the duck motel long enough to collect enough down to stuff a pillow.

Mr Tutu called me earlier this evening....seems there isn't anything new. She is slowly getting better. Thinks all you guys are the best.
She may be getting out tomorrow or the next day.
