Bad Bike Wreck

[Celtic_Fae]

Well, he's still pretty much guaranteed additional surgeries down the line, but he's now hobbling around tentatively without crutches (but still on major pain meds). Good news----he might be coming down to visit me and the Bay Area Renaissance Festival! I might get to turn him into a Rennie after all (and introduce him to all you wonderful people)!

Oh, how wonderful!!!  At least more surgeries would indicate that they believe there is more that can be done to improve his condition, and if he will be able to travel in a few months then he is still progressing!  I'm so glad...  I'll continue to pray for more improvement, and an easing of his pain.  He's lucky to have such a good friend as you...

Huzzah on the news Kathryn. Please continue to keep us updated on his condition lass.

[Rani Zemirah]

Oh cool!  Maybe I'll get to meet him, then!  I'm hoping to make it down there for that weekend, so who knows?!? 

[Celtic_Fae]

Cool! I think that would blow his mind to meet SO many people who were wishing him well. Please, everyone, know that I post updates not to detract from your own posts but to show that these things can have a happy ending.

Got some bad news today. His exposed leg fracture has abscessed. Needs to have the hardware removed but is having a hard time finding a doctor who will do it.

[Sir James of Milford]

Sorry to hear he is having more trouble.  Tell him to hang in there, things will get better for him I am sure.

Going back into the hospital in AM tomorrow. What a way to start the new year...

Healing thoughts and prayers for your friend!
Keep us posted on his recovery.

Kathryn I'm so sorry to hear of your friends most recent troubles. Please let him know that he is still in my thoughts and prayers m'lady.

[Celtic_Fae]

Thank you everyone. A week later he's still in the hospital with another surgery planned for tomorrow or Tuesday. They had to keep him on antibiotics longer than they anticipated since the infection was antibiotic-resistant. Luckily, the hospital has WiFi and his friends brought his decrepit laptop down, so we've been able to keep in contact via online and some phone calls.

Kathryn, I'm sorry to hear your friend is having ongoing problems. I haven't posted here, but I have been thinking of you both as I pass through. I'll send extra good thoughts his way this week in hopes that this surgery will be the last.

[Rani Zemirah]

I hope they're giving him plenty of live culture yogurt to replace some of that necessary bacteria that he's losing.  Antibiotics can cause some rather unpleasant changes in the digestive tract if there's no helpful little critters in there...  I hope he starts feeling better soon, and that this surgery is a resounding success!  Lots of healing thoughts and positive energy headed to you both... 

[Lady Amy of York]

Healing prayers being sent his  way.  Keep us posted on  how  he is  doing.

[Celtic_Fae]

Getting worried. Haven't heard from him now in 4 days. One way or the other, we're usually in contact everyday.
