Let's All Wish Betsy the Best; She Told Me To Tell You...

What she told me to tell you all is that her right ball joint in her leg has collapsed and she is on total bed rest for 10 days. No getting up for anything, so she will not be here and she wanted you all to know.

Needless to say I am worried, and I will get more updates tomorrow as it's late here now. Let's send her our collective best wishes, and for those of you who call her, give her a call I'm sure she could use cheering up right about now.

Betsy, Good luck lass. We need you up and running so that you can give Peter a good swift kick in the arse. Don't let him "whilst" you into oblivion, he needs the discipline only you could give him!!

I hope you feel better soon! :wub: :peace:

Bets, I am p*ssed beyond words that you just can't catch a break! :angry:


Heck, I'd loan you my ball joint, if I could figure out how to remove it and send it to you. :ponder:


Please take things nice and easy . . . don't try to get up and move around before your body is ready for that stress. Sit back, watch TV, catch up on your reading or, as a certain British friend of mine would say, just do "f*ck all"! :yes:

Maybe you could try some watermelon yourself. ;)

Keep up with the good wishes folks, just don't call Betsy after 9 pm at night. :sweet:

I talked to Ms. Missy today and she sounds as frisky as ever, despite being completely confined to bed for another eight or so days to let her fractured pelvis heal. There is nothing to be done for the collapsed ball joint unfortunately. These new fractures are in addition by the way to the broken hip she suffered last year. She really needs the hip replacement but they cannot do it yet as her bone is not strong enough.

Jayne and Peter, they have upped the dosage of her pain meds and added Percoset (codeine) for breakthrough pain, as needed.

I recommended that she rent the Black Adder series and Jeeves and Wooster as she has never seen any of it. I hope that can ease the boredom somewhat.

By the way, off topic but as J&W was mentioned, Wodehouse's Jeeves books are fantastic, and if someone has watched the series and enjoyed it, they should read a couple of the books as they are very funny.

I will be sending positive vibes to dear Betsy. I can't believe she's been through so much, and yet every time she posts here she is as fun as can be.

Take care, Betsy. Sending lots of love your way.

Just to add a note -- Betsy is not in the hospital. She is at home on bed rest and seems as chipper as usual which is good really. I talked to her Saturday morning and on Friday it seems like her entire family came over to entertain her, one at a time.

I am so glad to hear they did. That girl has had a rough year, and yet, her spirit is always so strong.

Hope she's enjoying the Black Adders I recommended.

Well it's interesting this should come up now....
BTW, any of you that ever want the most current news on Ms. Evil just PM me and I can let you know or call on your behalf, pass along an address or phone number, etc. Anything to let our dear girl know that you are thinking of her always helps. I talk to her sometimes daily (or more than daily :blush: ) and she is like the newest addition to the Sponaugle family, so please just ask any time.

I just talked to Doug about an hour ago. The news is disheartening and very worrisome to me, but please, if any of you happen to talk to her directly don't let on too much about this. I don't want to stress her at all about anything now.

As you might remember, she broke her hip and that has sidelined her all on its own -- she needs a hip replacement. She can't have one though because her osteoporosis is so bad the bone will not hold the prosthetic if it is put in place so they have been giving her drugs and supplements to build the bone but nothing is happening.

Unfortunately on top of her broken hip, she has a collapsed ball joint in one of her legs (the very top of the leg where it connects into the hip). She has been in very bad pain but it was being managed with strong drugs.

On Friday the pain went over the top -- she had to go to the emergency room Saturday because she could no longer sleep or eat. The pain went to 10 (on the pain scale they ask you about when you are in the hospital) -- two shots of morphine put it to a 9, so they had to give two shots of Dilaudid to get the pain to a 6. She was in the hospital til Sunday morning -- she's finally home and sleeping. NO CALLS RIGHT NOW OR TODAY FOLKS!

The thing that worried me and Doug is that they have said she can't have her operation until next October -- how can she manage til then? Anyway, she has an appointment with the orthopedic surgeon tomorrow, but I don't know what they can do. I hope that they decide to give her an implantable pump for drugs for the pain.

I think right now that we should try to send her cards in the mail to cheer her up or absolutely ridiculous stuff or just plain nonsense. If anyone wants her address, PM me and I'll check with Doug if it's ok....

Let's cross our fingers, pray and do rain dances to hope for the best for our Betsy.

Linda, Betsy seems to be incapable at times of admitting anything is wrong because it is against her nature to feel like she is troubling anyone or giving anyone any extra work or even concern.

The fact that she told the doctors that her pain level was at a 10 was actually something that really concerned Doug, because it is something she'd never done before.

I hope to find out more about her situation soon and will post more as I hear about her.

Everyone I just talked to Doug today. No helpful news now, because unfortunately the @#$@%^& orthopedic guy decided to take a week vacation and they have not decided what to do to help Betsy with the pain. Agh...Doug is on the case though so he will do what has to be done to make sure she gets the pain relief she desperately needs now.

Probably best to hold off on calls because Betsy is not up to them at this point.

Doug did say that anyone who wants the address can have it to send Betsy cheery greetings, cards, etc. PM me guys -- PMs on the way to you Irene and Nat.

I AM THE BIGGEST JOHN FAN!
:cry: THANKYOU!! I love you all so much. I`ll get this behind me one way or another. I`m not giving up and I don`t want any of you to either. I do not like to cause worry, but knowing how much you all care does go a long way towards healing my heart.

So here is the formula you all should follow to assess the true nature of my condition. Doug is a maximizer and I am a minimizer so somewhere in the middle lies the truth. :D

Back to bed again. Got up for the potty (as usualy) and wanted to visit even if it only a moment.

Love and Hugs to you all :thumbsup:

P.S. I might just have a spontaneous complete recovery if just for once you people would acknowledge who the one really and truly biggest John fan is on this board. Just a little food for thought :devil:

Betsy honey, don't forget that you walked blocks and blocks in NYC with a broken hip and never complained -- I was there. Doug tells me your pain is excruciating and I believe him. It's all about getting you the relief you need and I am hoping that happens soon.

Anyway everyone, please, let's send our girl some love in the snail mail...I've got her address, just ask and you shall receive.

I can't believe you have to wait so long for an operation, Betsy. When you consider just how rich the US is, why can't it look after its citizens the way it should? You spend your working life paying taxes and then when you need some help, you get nothing back.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who can see just how wrong the healthcare system is. It was one of the only things I agreed with Hillary Clinton about in her drive to be President.

Love you, Betsy - hope that fortune shines on you and the operation happens sooner than planned.

I AM THE BIGGEST JOHN FAN!
Thankyou Andy, you are a true friend.

The reason that I have to wait for this surgery (for once in our health care system) is not motivated by finance but because I don`t have enough bone density to support a prosthectic hip. Bone is always breaking down and being replaced and in a healthy individual it is done in a balanced fashion. In my case my bone tissue is breaking down faster than new bone is being made which is why I`m prone to having fractures just from walking and sneezing and other equally silly things. The IV med they are giving me to equalize the osteoblasts and osteoklast is called Zometa and is most often used to treat bone cancers but it is now approved for various forms of osteoporosis and osteonecrosis. The latter is the condition I have. This disease has caused the head of my femur to collapse. It is normally a fairly round ball that fits into the joint socket. Mine now looks like a deflated basketball. This means that bone is dead and will not regenerate. It effects my ability to walk well and is extremely painful. So until these bones get stronger surgery would only make matters worse. So I must be patient and wait and do the best I can with what I have to work with.

I`m actually feeling human tonight. Finally got a Doc in the Ortho department to agree to writing me a prescription for Dilaudid, which is what they were giving me in the emergency room. The night I went in they gave me 2 shots of morphine and 3 of dilaudid and then an oral dose of dilaudid before the pain finally was relieved.

So now I`m on a combo of fentynyl patches and dilaudid and this seems to be working well at this time. My hope is to get on a pump and then maybe that will control the breakthrough pain, but I will have to wait until my Dr. is back next week to discuss that with him.

Had a nice chat with Jayne and Alan and that perked me right up.

Love to you all.


Smoochies!

Andy I'm sorry if what I said earlier was confusing. Betsy has to wait for an operation (hip replacement) due to the fact that her own condition (ie her bone health) will not allow a successful operation to happen at this point. The doctors want to wait until her bone is healthy enough to (hopefully) support the artificial hip that would be placed with her current bone structure.

In the meantime, she waits.

Nice to see you here again Betsy - thanks for explaining. Wow, they really have got you on a cocktail of drugs. :( I hope they're taking the pain away as much as they can. Of course, I still think the health care 'system' in the US sucks badly, but at least it isn't to blame for you having to wait. I really do hope that you are able to have the op sooner rather than later, though.

John came to me in a dream and this is what he said. "I had a vision of a man on a flaming pie, and he told me that Betsy with a B not Lisa with a L is the biggest fan of mine". John trumps 'the boss' !
