Title: Grumpy in the Hospital
Post by: FilamentTheBright on June 19, 2007, 01:15 PM: I'm sure we've all heard from other sources, but just wanted to pass it on.

Grumpy is in the Hospital. Apparently from a blood clot in his leg. :sick:

Get better Grumpy. :grouphug2:

Post by: Purpleduck on June 19, 2007, 06:32 PM: Although I already told you on game.. thanks Bright for posting this! Lame duck, posted to the thread "over there" and then started thinking about the chat Gnome and I had just a few hours before he finally gave in and went to the ER. So I forgot to post here.

I will be calling him tomorrow, and giving him the riot act he needs for chatting with me in the middle of the night instead of going to the ER right then! :mad: Silly gnome! :grouphug:

Dara spoke with him today, and has updated her thread to say he is on antibiotics too, as the leg is infected. Will post an update tomorrow, unless Dara beats me, and posts here too. ;)
Title: Re: Grumpy in the Hospital
Post by: Purpleduck on June 20, 2007, 10:26 AM: Update as promised :)

I just got off the phone. He sounds so very tired, I didn't stay long.

He is on two blood thinners for the clot, an antibiotic for the infection and a lot of pain meds. They will check again for the clot either tomorrow or Friday.. with the goal of sending him home Friday. But even when home, he will need significant time to recover enough to be able to be on the computer.

But he wants everyone to know he is alive, and will be back to roaming the vmk gardens soon enough.

He also said thanks for all for the well wishes!

I will continue to update as we talk again. :)

Post by: FilamentTheBright on June 20, 2007, 04:08 PM: And then give him a swift kick in the ass, for being a pain in the ass. :mad:

Can I say that here? :laugh2:

Title: Re: Grumpy in the Hospital
Post by: Purpleduck on June 21, 2007, 09:38 AM: Update time again.

I just spoke with Grumpy. He sounds SO very much better today. Nowhere near as tired as he was yesterday, and he even cracked a few of his gnome jokes!

He is anxious to see the doctor this afternoon to find out if he can go home tomorrow.

Again, he sends his thanks to all well-wishers!

Go Go Grumpy!! :cheerleader:

Post by: papaduck on June 21, 2007, 01:12 PM: Well it's about time he stopped feeling poorly, we can't have no sick gnomes hanging around here.

Title: Re: Grumpy in the Hospital
Post by: Purpleduck on June 22, 2007, 07:00 AM: Update. This just in from Dara who just spoke with him.. I shall try him later.

Quoted from her Dis post:
On the phone with Grumpy as I type this. The clot has not gone away as they
thought it would have. It now looks as though he will be there until Saturday
or Sunday. Doctor says it may be day by day, possibly as late as Monday. [END Quote]

Poor Gnome. I will keep updates going over the weekend.

Post by: funniebunny on June 22, 2007, 10:56 AM: awwww poor Gnome. Get better soon
Title: Re: Grumpy in the Hospital
Post by: Purpleduck on June 23, 2007, 10:05 AM: Today's update:

Just got off phone with Grumpy. He is, as expected, bored. Not feeling too bad, just hoping to get out on Monday. Blood work shows the clot is slowly beginning to dissolve!

He says Hi to all, thanks again for well wishes.

His daughter is on the way in to see him and bringing a laptop. If he can get a wireless connection he may even post!

:hug: gnome
Title: Re: Grumpy in the Hospital
Post by: lab_girl on June 23, 2007, 10:09 AM: Thanx for the update Duck!
I hope the laptop can help alleviate the boredom of being in the hospital and I REALLY hope he has good roomates!

(PS... be nice to the lab peeps Grumpy ;) )
Title: Re: Grumpy in the Hospital
Post by: papaduck on June 24, 2007, 06:41 PM: Hey Grumpy, bored and hospital go together. Just get well and get home. :thumbs:
Title: Re: Grumpy in the Hospital
Post by: Purpleduck on June 25, 2007, 07:11 AM: Today's update:

The clot has not completed dissolving yet. No chance for gnome to roam for another day or two. :(

He appreciates the well wishes, and wants to thank you all. :grouphug:

Post by: papaduck on June 25, 2007, 03:22 PM: Here's hoping we will soon be singing, "Gnome, Home on the Range".

If we offer to throw a party, will it speed the recovery?

Didn't he just have a party to go into the hospital? :lol: Different reason, I know. :)

Post by: FlyingPegasus on June 25, 2007, 04:57 PM: Hope they let you out of there soon Grumpy!

I know how awful it is being in the hospital for more than a couple of days! My husband is bored to death and driving me crazy after his emergency double bypass last Thursday.

Hope to see you back in the garden soon my friend!
Title: Re: Grumpy in the Hospital
Post by: FilamentTheBright on June 26, 2007, 04:51 PM: Fly: Sorry to hear about the Hubby. I hope he is alright.

Anyone hear anything new about the Gnome. BTW We need a Gnome smiley.
Title: Re: Grumpy in the Hospital
Post by: Purpleduck on June 27, 2007, 10:36 AM: Today's update:

Well, seems the gnome enjoys the hospital :rofl1: (sorry gnome, couldn't resist) , so has chosen to stay until Friday.

Doctor is hoping that by staying until Friday, the clot will have dissolved enough to allow him to go home with "pill" blood thinners to finish the job (as opposed to still needing injections). He is understandably bored, but in good spirits.

I passed on the hugs and wishes.. he is grateful that people still remember him! ::) Like we could forget! :slap:

:hug: gnome
Title: Re: Grumpy in the Hospital
Post by: papaduck on June 27, 2007, 11:49 AM: Grumpy who? ???

Sorry, I couldn't resist. Hope that thing dissolves and ya get sprung out of that place. We are all pulling for ya Gnome.

Heal and get better, the hospital staff could probably use a break. :roflmao:

Please try and find a better way to "get away from it all" next time, and keep the gnome home.

Heres lookin' at you kid. :drinkingtoast:

Just got off with our favorite Gnome. His mom is there visiting with him. And,
he's waiting for the doctor to come for his daily round. Grumpy is, of course,
grumpy about the whole thing.

Post by: Purpleduck on June 28, 2007, 07:57 PM: :yes!: I just saw he posted "other there" too! Welcome home dear gnome, your garden has been tended too by many, you shall find it all in order! :yes!:
Title: Re: Grumpy in the Hospital
Post by: papaduck on June 28, 2007, 10:21 PM: Gnome, Home again. It's about time. :2thunbs: :cheerleader:

Please stay healthy, we have an overabundance of sick and ailing people in this world and do not want you adding to their numbers.

Post by: grumpydisneydad on June 29, 2007, 08:43 AM: Thank Yo all for the hugs and well wishes. Yes I am home finally but still very very weak.
