Bitter Sweet..

By on 12-18-2009 in Important Updates

Good evening everyone, I truly had hoped to be able to tell you all that Suzanne was coming home on Monday…

This morning she was tweeting away excitedly and had been ordered for 6 weeks strict bed rest and a trip home in an ambulance..
She was just waiting for the surgeon to confirm that the leak in her back was indeed now dealt with.

Sadly around lunch time, she felt unwell and they decided to feed her a quick bite to hopefully get her back to happy healthy (they were really expecting not to need to operate) and then fast her again until after the final decision was made, this sickness got worse and headaches started again and she began to show signs of infection.

They are treating her for this with intensive anti-biotics and I hope to be able to tell you later on that the symptoms and pain she is having have passed.. ITs has been an incredibly tough time for us, and I am so hoping to bring you all good news soon..

I have pushed all orders out and hopefully you will all receive your orders in due course. I also hope they are correct, I have tried to be as careful as possible and please just let me know if any problems occur.

I want to add some more originals to the shop tonight, but it will be after 9pm. Monday is the reccomended day to post anything in the UK to arrive in the UK before Christmas..

I also am about to order in some more calendars, so if you are desperately waiting for them, I promise more soon.

I will also try to add the choose your own pocket mirror item tonight…

So lots for me to do, and I probably will end up waking up with keyboard key marks on my head having done none… 🙂

Please do bare with us, we miss doing what we do with you..

-Mr G

ps. In other news, there was a violent breakout during a peacefull anti Dog campaign by the Cats for Laps society led by our very own Kismet… his injuries received during the violence led to a little surgery and Kismet is now home recovering well… though he vows to destroy those canine creatures…. (his stitches look a lot worse than Suzy’s)..

    Oh this is so sad. I was so hoping , as you are – that Suzanne would be finished with all that mess. She’s just got to be so sick of this. My heart goes out to all of you. Give Suzanne my love and tell her her GorjussFan type people are keeping her in their prayers .
    Grant, don’t overdo – everyone understands – you have to take care of you too so you can take care of Suzanne. We fans aren’t going anywhere… we’ll be prayerfully waiting for everything to take a turn around and start getting better for you all.
    Hugs, and Prayers

    Oh good gosh, you poor things, I wish I could give you both a big hug and make it all better, but I can’t so…rest assured that my prayers will be to keeping both you and Suzanne safe. I pray that she recovers real soon, and prayers for you too MrG, for your health.
    Good thing you have “strong shoulders”.

  15. Anne December 18, 2009 at 11:19 pm

    Mr. G, I am so sad to hear this update, but very grateful to you for taking the time. ;o)

    I’m praying for you all, and for Suzanne’s drs to have wisdom for exactly what she needs.
    I’m so sorry for Suzanne’s pain and I know you must be totally exhausted.

    Mr. G, I am so sorry to hear about Suzanne needing another surgery. My heart is aching right now. Keeping Suzanne, you, and your family in my thoughts and prayers.

    Take care,

    Kathy

  22. Grant Woolcott December 19, 2009 at 10:02 am

    Fortuneately it is looking like the surgery is not required.

    Doctors are happy with her wound and that it is not leaking, all they have to do now is beat this infection off and get her back to healthy..

    -Mr G

  23. Carmen December 19, 2009 at 4:13 pm

    I’m glad Kismet is helping you keep your sense of humour in these tough times 🙂 Your update post above is good to read – fingers crossed for a homecoming before Christmas.

  24. Barb aka BitterSweet December 19, 2009 at 4:47 pm

    That is good news Grant! I hope they are able to give her some wicked drugs for the pain and the infection will be gone soon. Make sure you tell her she has a lot of peeps praying for her 🙂

    Hugs and Blessings

    Mr. G and Suzanne – I am so sorry to hear abour your ordeal. I hope that Suzanne can be home for the holidays. I went through something similar in 2004 where I was hospitalized for months. It was tough on me – but I think it was even tougher for my husband. I hope you take care of yourself too Mr. G. Hang in there!
