Day 2: 23:15 Hours
Dear Fod's,A
Debbie is having a rough day today. She had a headache all day today and it has only gotten worse as the day wore on. Jess and Joey came down early today and spent good time with their Mother, I did a middle shift and Mike came down for the close. Unfortunately, as the evening wore on, the headache continued to build and they have scheduled Deb for a CAT scan. After 9 months here, we knew better than to leave that maneauver to any third shift personnel on a weekend so Joe and I got back in the car and we are waiting for the Transport team to arrive to take Deb down for the CAT scan. And we have been waiting for about 2 hours so far. While we are sure that the CAT scan will show nothing, we are equally sure that a few hours in the halls of this place will do Debbie no good whatsoever. Joey will go down with Deb and make sure that she does not get lost in the halls.
We will stay here until Deb gets settled in and post again tomorrow.
Deb sends her love to all.

Thank God for you Teklis men...you are the best...went to bed praying that you were still feeling good,Debs honey ..I'm so sorry that you had to go through all that.having CT scan ..just having to go down on a stretcher when you have such a backache is awful..not to mention the exposure in the hallways to who knows what ....many extra prayers today ...you are amazing and this too will pass....I love you with no hair..don't forget the red lipstick glamour girl!!!xxoo:)Bev
Oy. Thanks be to the Teklits men for standing guard over our girl as she gets checked out.
Having made an after hours trip down to the CAT Scan place with Deb on a previous visit I am TRIPLE glad you guys are with her. It's downright spooky there.
Debbie, by the time you read this I hope you are snug in your bed and resting comfortably now with that nasty headache just a distant memory.
Love you - K
Dear Debbie,
Oh I hate all this. A large hospital has its benefits in relation to experts, equipment and available treatments, however I know only too well how inefficient the admin. of handling such a test is at HUP. Thank goodness for your family support. I read once about how studies show patients with family & friends support do so much better than those with minimum support. Just look at the crew around you. It is priceless and will ensure you will get through this. I wish we could all share your pain to lessen it for you Debbie. Know that we are all with you and although we've got serious these past few days, we'll all be back to joking with you in just a few more once you are feeling better. Lots and lots of love, your visitor Alison.
P.S. Hi Joe we haven't met either, but know I care for Debbie from afar and think you are all doing a terrific job.
Joe:
This takes me back to your favorite blog. I remember it so vividly. You in the halls after she had waited so long. I think it was compared to...was it the vaporatto in Venice.
Anyhow...take care of our girl. You guys are the best.
Love...COD and family
Hi, Uncle Joe.
Well, I'm glad you guys are there with her. After being lost in the halls last time, it was a good decision to stay there. Did the docs say that the headache is a normal side effect or reaction? I hope the CAT scan turns out fine and that the headache goes away on its own. Thanks for keeping us posted!

Oh Deb,
I'm so sorry about the headache...I know how awful they can be. I hope that you got the CT before daybreak. Can't they give IV narcs for it to keep you comfortable?? (I could use them myself sometimes)
Praying that you have a better day and thinking of you constantly.
Love you,
Kim
ps I wouldn't want to be in the bowels of HUP in the middle of the night without my men either!
deb, joe and joey: i have for transport; that can be a real pita espescially on the weekends, to have family support is a godsend. if you need anything call. our prayers are with you.love bob
