From Worse to ... Even Worse and Better Again
Kymberlie asked that I post an update here on her behalf. Friday evening, they diagnosed her with a pulmonary embolism. She went through another round of tests for that, and a treatment with blood thinners has helped a lot. I went to visit her at the hospital earlier, and she is definitely in better spirits then she has been since this all began. They anticipate that she will be in the hospital through Wednesday or so - and after that it will probably be time at home recovering before she returns to work.
I am still coordinating taking goodies and messages to her - if you need to reach me about it, there are more details on my blog. I plan on going back over to the hospital on Tuesday to see her again.
Most importantly, she asked that I thank everyone for thinking of her, your thoughts & well wishes have really raised her spirits and truly helped!
Do what the doctors say, ignore the surly nurses, and flirt appropriately with handsome orderlies.
We're all thinking of you!

Wow! I had pleurisy a year ago, and I know that those type of lung issues are more painful than anyone really could imagine until they go through something like it. I wish you all the best in the world, and I hope you recover quickly. Keep your spirits up and get through this, girl! Warm regards and a big 'virtual hug'!

So Here I am in Downtown Toronto Canada. It's exactly 12:34 am on this early tuesday morning. I was watching UnScrewed on TechTV and Martin Sargent mentioned a website, I went there and a coupla hundred clicks later I was surfing a site that said 'steal these buttons'...WTF? So I begin browsing the dozens of hundreds of buttons and randomly click on oh, 'this' one. Et voila, Here I Am in Downtown Toronto Canada. reading your latest blog entry posted on your behalf cuz you're in the Hospital... this whole internet thing ... sometimes it's just magic ain't it? Thank you for creating your 'button' and I hope you return to your fishbowl... Keep Smilin' ~ Fantastic Indestructible Super HiMY! ~ http://www.HiMY.org
