This will be a quick entry. I get admitted to the hospital tomorrow at 9 a.m. followed by graft surgery sometime thereafter (not exactly sure what time). Hoping this is the last one for quite awhile so keep your fingers crossed and send good juju to my left buttock (hey, you wanted to know didn't you? ;) . I feel fairly calm right now... not sure when the butterflies will start but hoping it will be just before they administer the anesthesia!! lol

Again, thank you to everyone for your thoughts, prayers, and energy and playing a part in my healing. Here we goooooo!!

With love,

Tyler

 
Jeez....we missed the opportunity to raffle off a chance to "kiss-it-and-make-it-better"!

:clapping: You go, girl! :clapping:

My thoughts and prayers are with you and I also have high hopes that this will be the final "procedure".

It's so good to see your posts again, Ty, and to see your great attitude and sense of humor intact. You can't be very comfy right now and I sure sympathize. Better every day, that's the mantra. It's been wonderful to see the flood of love and support from hereabouts. Makes me proud to be part of this group. Feel better, sweetie. And better yet tomorrow.

Greetings All,

Tyler's surgery went well. She is back in the Burn Unit and resting comfortably. Doctors were pleased to discover the area needing a graft was less than they expected.

I spoke to Tyler a bit ago and she was bright and alert. Her folks had just departed. The other Susan will be visiting this evening and I plan to drop by in the morning. This all feels far to familiar.

Have a lovely evening,

Sue

 
Say Patriot, Thanks for that post and link to Caringbridge.org. It was fantastic.

I scrolled on down and read the whole thing, it was truly inspirational.

Tyler, what a courageous battle you have begun to fight, and continue to do so well in. It is obvious that your character and grit are of upstanding virtue and kindness.

Receiving the award and making such an impression on the nurses and Dr.'s is a great thing...A hearty ' Texas size Salute' ..

Glad the grafting session went well.

 
Tyler, glad to hear all went well today, prayers for your recovery.

On a lighter note, That poor suregeon knows more about your butt than you do. :D

 
Release. The past few weeks have been about releasing the anger, sadness, self-incrimination, and negativity... about clearing out the voices in the dark to enable the light to shine through and fill the voids. And all of that is culminating with the physical release once again from the hospital for what I hope to be the last time for a long, long time.

The last week has been very different than the previous incarceration as there was an end in sight almost right off the bat so I always could hold onto the knowledge that I'd be out in X number of days. The surgery went well and the graft has healed quickly. There is still one more wound that will require continued dressings but most everything has healed up. The staff here at the burn unit has once again been beyond stellar with their care - physically and emotionally - and I will always be grateful to each of them for the gift of their spirit.

So now it is time to focus forward... to release what was and accept what is... out with the old, in with the new. Tomorrow I step out with a renewed lease on life with the ability to take hold of the reins of what was once my life and steer into the future, whatever it may hold. I look forward to celebrating a day of thanks with my family in my own home surrounded with the smells of a home cooked meal, laughter floating on the air, and love enveloping us all.

I am thankful for the gifts that have been given to me, both small and large... for the friendships that have endured and the seedlings of new friends that have been planted... for the earth's daily gifts of sunshine, blue skies, rain clouds, and continual rebirth... for giving me the gift of life once again. I wish each of you the knowledge of the gifts in your life and if you don't, go get some cause they're just out there for the taking... reach out and see what may come back to you!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

With love,

Tyler
