"Fasten your seatbelts. It's going to be a bumpy ride."
So she made it through her rock star treatment of limo (okay, well, ambulance) rides to & from the airports, and her Lear jet excursion across some beautiful country. (Low-altitude flying's pretty cool.) All of her transport staff were terrific & she got a male nurse for the airplane ride, so she was happy. (I know, shocking.) It was VERY tough to leave all the phenomenal staff at St. Al's - we knew it was necessary, and her send-off was unlike anything I've ever seen, but it was still hard to leave all the caring, nurturing souls who were so critical to her survival and recovery. We will carry them with us in our hearts always.
Speaking of rock star treatment, very definitely the highlight of yesterday was the 25+ motorcycle riders eagerly awaiting Ty at the San Jose airport, happily following her to the hospital with a lead rider who had a big ol' "Tyler's Posse" taped to his fairing. (Even our step-brother & his son came all the way down from Galt to take part.) It was one of the most moving things I've ever seen (I lost it), and Tyler was incredibly touched & overjoyed by it. She could see it all out the back window of the ambulance and it delighted her. Her beloved dog, Bart, even got to ride sweep. (Fairing, sweep, oh, I'm down with the m/c lingo now. ;-) The nurse who had been with her on the plane was so blown away he took a bunch of pictures from the back & emailed them to Ty right there thru his iPhone. (Gotta love technology.) Way to make a showing for our gal, folks - she absolutely loved it. (And to those of you who couldn't make it, she knows you were there in spirit!) [use this link for more great pics: https://www.southbayriders.com/forums/showthread.php?t=80251]
The initial entry to VMC was a little bumpy to say the least - they didn't seem to be aware she was coming, thought she was a guy initially (she quickly proved that wrong ;-) and because of two traumas that had just come in, they sent a fourth-year med student to do her initial assessment. Nice kid & very earnest, but getting through to people that she needed some pain meds "stat" (I'm getting good at medical lingo, too) was a bit of an uphill battle. To say that it wasn't the same staff as at St. Al's would be an understatement, but it at least seemed they were trying their best under the circumstances. The general impression, however, was a complete lack of awareness or understanding of just what they were dealing with, which was very frustrating given that this transfer has been in the works for days now. All of that led to Ty getting pretty anxious and missing her St. Al's buddies in a big way, but she soldiered through (and the eventual dose of morphine helped with that greatly, as did finally getting to squeeze her daughter, her mom & her step-dad). Talked to her this a.m., and things were much better. She bonded with her male (see a pattern here? ;-) night nurse, and finally met with her doctors this morning (both female, which she's very pleased about - no offense to the guys, see above male nurse thing) and they sound to be really on it. They'll be taking her into surgery today to undress her legs (dun-da-da-dun-da-da-dun) and get familiar with what's going on under there. Likely they'll do some debrading & start the process for grafting, which is a relief. They DO know what they're dealing with now, and seem to be responding appropriately. Which is good, because that way I don't have to cut anyone. LOL
Please hold off on visits still for the time being. Once we get her through the intial leg treatment today, we'll be much better placed to start setting up a visitor schedule, etc. They have set visiting hours and it's limited to 2 at a time, so out of respect for Ty & the other patients, scheduling things sounds like a good idea. (But believe me, once she's ready, we would all welcome it, especially because I'll then know she's getting good juju from people besides us and I can get some laundry done. LOL)
Thanks again to all of you. Take care, have a good day & I'll continue to update as we move along this path.
