Terry57 has been out sick

[saxguy64]

I know some of y'all have been wondering. Terry asked me to let folks know that she's been away from the forum this week due to some medical issues. She had a routine procedure last week, and had some complications, and likely a virus on top of it. (not covid) All things considered, she's in pretty good spirits and will be back with us as soon as she's able. I know she'll appreciate whatever prayers and positive thoughts you wish to offer.

I have an update. A little more info that I didn't have before, and the situation as it is now...

When they did the anesthesia for a simple routine procedure, Terry had multiple esophageal spasms and stopped breathing, causing her to aspirate, which caused aspiration pneumonia. Add to that, some kind of virus causing severe nausea, so she hasn't been able to keep food, drinks or any of her maintenance meds down. At all. Not pretty, really dangerous and blatantly negligent by the healthcare system in my opinion. (I work in the healthcare industry)

A week and a half later, after a doctor visit and two trips to the hospital, they finally gave her a diagnosis and at long last some meds for her nausea, and antibiotics for the pneumonia. She's finally starting to be able to keep things down, but still pretty much out flat and may be so for a little while. She misses being here with you all more than you can know.

She wanted me to pass along a huge THANK YOU for your prayers, support, and kind words. Please keep them coming. She appreciates them so very much. 🙏🙏🙏

That’s frightening. I’m glad there is a diagnosis and treatment, but I wish there were no need for either. Get better soon, Terry!

 

[GaleriaGila]

Oh, Terrio-the-Merrio...
I'm loving you with all my heart.
You tell that long-haired French-speaking husband of yours to take care of you.
I know he will!
Love to BOTH of you.

Gah, horrible 😣 sending healing vibes your way Terry!

 

[maddox]

Get well Terry! We miss you!

 

[Kentuckienne]

Terry, without your smile
The parrot forum
Is gonna bore ‘em
We need your wit
So you get fit
And with decorum
Grace us with style!

 

[CosiGirl]

Cozy and I will be lifting you up during our bedtime prayers, Terry! Much love and healing to you 🙏🏻💛

Thank you all so much for your prayers and good wishes, I appreciate it so much.
The first round of antibiotics didn't fix it, and my Dr has been sick so my appt was moved from the 8th to the 23rd. I was trying to hold out until I could see her but was getting worse so I went back to the ER a couple of nights ago.
I am worse, the pneumonia is now in both lungs and could be seen clearly in the x-ray. Last time it could only be seen on my CT scan.
He gave me 2 antibiotics, Prednisone, and 2 inhalers.
Hopefully this will do the trick because I miss all of y'all and I miss my birds. I've only seen them twice in the last month because I'm too lightheaded for the stairs.
Fingers crossed that I'm past all this soon.
Again, all of your posts touched my heart and meant so much to me.
I'm easing back in but hope to be back full time soon

I wish you recovery🙏
