RE: The Curation and Engagement Leagues ๐ - STEEM prizes & steem-bounty available! ๐
What? Eh? @abh12345. I was hoping for spot 7. ๐
Maybe I need to do a few more self votes. Those two were by accident but I couldnt' be bothered to remove them. I'm getting a bit gung-ho about it all these days!
Congratulations to @janton for reclaiming the top spot and hats off to @ecoinstant for providing the chair that helped him to do so.
Congrats to @lynncoyle1 for top 3 again. I thought I'd seen you around a bit more this week. ๐
Hope everything's good with you @glenalbrethsen?
Well done to everyone who featured and thank you to Asher and @curie for the winnings. ๐
Have a fun week one and all!
Thanks @gillianpearce! I was on here more for sure this week, you're right. I also noticed Glen's absence and spoke to him last night via discord. He's good fyi. I'll leave him to fill in the blanks though.
Hey, @gillianpearce.
Thank you for wondering about me.
I am doing okay. I wasn't ill nor anyone in my family. Just hit the Steemit brick wall again (it had been a few months actually), so while it wasn't what I wanted to be doing, I ended up taking time and slacking most of the rest when I was actually trying to accomplish something. I'm not sure if I'm out of the funk completely, but now my wife goes in for an outpatient surgery in a couple hours (hernia) which we're all believing to be routine (if such things are), and as long as we can keep her resting, she should be back to work in five weeks.
So, not sure how much I will be around this week, so in the event you don't see me much, that's the reason. I'm kind of hoping my wife will just sleep things off and won't give me a lot to do while she is. Wishful thinking. A guy can dream, right? :)
howdy sir Glen! praying for your wife this morning. sure missed conversing with you last week but real life and rejuvenation takes precedence..it will be wonderful to have you back though! God bless you guys and a very fast recovery for your wife!
Hey, @janton.
Thank you for the well wishes and the prayers. She's been out of surgery for about 2.5 hours now and apparently all went well. When the surgeon got in there, she found to other much smaller hernias that she ended up sowing together as best she could. We've been back now for roughly 40 minutes and as long as we didn't undo everything they did in surgery getting her into bed, she should be okay. :)
wow sir Glen that is great news! now she just has to be super careful not to pull those stitches out right?
Hey, @janton.
The larger hernia has some kind of meshing inside of it, which I'm assuming helps it to close, or causes it to be tighter, and so I'm not sure what could happen to it or with it. I just know that right now, it's the source of most of her pain/soreness. The other two were so small that the surgeon just did some kind of stitch work and didn't guarantee that they would hold regardless of what we did.
As it is, our bedroom is upstairs and aside from a couple of couches that wouldn't let her prop up very well, there wasn't too many options for her to be, so she had to up the stairs when we got home and that's basically where she's been since yesterday.
So, getting in out of bed has been more difficult, and I'm not sure what she's managed to do or not do as she gets in and out. I think mainly it's the larger hole they used to perform the surgery with (three holes as opposed to cutting her open), that's ailing her the most now.
sir Glen..so hernia's are tears in the stomach wall? how long did they say she needed to stay in bed? or did they?
man it's so good to have you back, I missed talking to you everyday.
I'm not at all an expert on hernias, but it's not just the stomach area where a hernia can take place. It sounds like the definition is basically any time:
So, not sure what organ or tissue was primarily pushing through on my wife, but it wasn't her stomach.
She has a four week off full-duty restriction and potentially a two week where she could return to light duty if they had it. Unfortunately, she already knows there isn't any light duty. Plus, she's heading to Mexico to visit family three weeks from today which she scheduled at the beginning of the year, so she won't actually be back to work for five weeks.
So, she's not specifically bedridden for any length of time, just that it's painful to move around and probably will be for another 48 hours or so. She is supposed to do some walking, so we'll need to figure out how to make that happen.
re: good to have me back
It's good to be back, as much as I am right now, anyway. Doing this in between calls for one kind of help or another. :)
oh thank you for the explanations and information..as always! you know so much and are so good at explaining things sir Glen.
between calls..ooh yes..now your wife has a servant! lol. serve her honorably sir! haha, I know you will.
I too was in a bit of a funk this past week. Just a bit of ennui really. This week I've got my mum coming to stay tomorrow for a week and then my brother and sister-in-law joining us on Friday for the long weekend.
I should be doing a bit of cleaning right now but I was out all morning so didn't want to get too far behind with replies.
I'm glad to hear you're OK other than the Steemit funk.
I hope your wife's surgery went well and you have a great week, however you decide to spend your time. ๐
Thank you, @gillianpearce.
My wife is out of surgery and all seems to have gone well. Apparently, the surgeon found two other smaller hernias when she was in there fixing the main one. So, I think it took a little longer than planned, but we've been home now for close to an hour and she's in bed resting, I think. She hasn't called me, anyway. She's a hard one to keep off her feet for any great length of time.
It sounds like you'll have plenty of reason to be away from STEEM this week, and hopefully it will be rejuvenating and good company. Enjoy!
Thank you @glenalbrethsen.
Glad to hear the surgery went well. hopefully your wife's recovery will be fast and smooth.
Rejuvenating sounds great. That's just what I need. ๐
You were close - I'm hoping for that position too!
I think @costanza was running 'number 7' for 3 weeks to begin with and that this was the last week for now.
Have a good week Gillian, and well done for consistently placing high up in the EL :)
thank you so much gillianpeace your consistency in the top ranks is legendary and so deserved!
