Update

by Katja Presnal on July 1, 2008

Seems like I’m going to be in a hospital for a while. Not that doctors have said anything like that, but since I am so much in pain that I barely can walk two feet to the bathroom, I’m thinking going home might not be a good idea… Talking makes me tired and out of breath.

Since I might not be in the best condition to back up for the move, my wonderful parents-in-law have promised to drive here from Texas to help us out.

That’s nice, but extra props for my parents who obviously want to spare my strenght so much that they haven’t called or even sent me an e-mail yet. I’m sure they just want me to rest, right? No, I’m sure they are just out on the sea with their boat, and maybe even my sister hasn’t been able to reach them.

Frankly I’m pretty scared and now starting to realize this is serious stuff. It has taken me an hour to write this, and I think I’m going to need a few hours after this to rest…

geez, Katja – enough drama for you, OK? Enough! LOL

Rest up and get some feeling better vibes going right away :)

When you wake up from your nap, that is.

Hugs!

I was hoping to read that you were feeling better today… I’m so sorry that you’re feeling worse AND haven’t heard from your parents!

Many good thoughts and wishes to you.

6 Susanna July 1, 2008 at 12:44

Hope you’re feeling better soon.

My uncle had the same problem last month (pulmonary embolism) and he recovered after a few days in the hospital. Said it was painful, but ultimately got better. Here’s hoping for the same for you.

7 Christine July 1, 2008 at 12:48

Sending hugs to you, Katja!!

8 Christine July 1, 2008 at 12:50

I’m so sorry…you’re such a sweet and giving person, I wish there were something I could give back to you today to make this all better!

Just know I’ll be thinking of you!

9 Char July 1, 2008 at 12:53

Oh my goodness I hope you will be back on your feet soon. Thanks for keeping us posted – you are in our thoughts and prayers.

Oh honey! *hug*

I’m praying for you. I know you are a strong woman and you can get through this. I think staying in the hospital for a bit is a good idea. Get yourself better and let others help you get there!

Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you.

You poor thing! You work so hard! You don’t deserve to be in the hospital! I’m gonna hold off on the giveaway until you get better.
I do have something to send you, but I don’t know if sending it to the store would be ok or not?

Get well soon! *HUG*

so sorry to hear that you’re going through this. It’s never fun to be in the hospital. Just take it slow and be sure to rest.

You poor thing ((HUGS)) keep resting and do everything the doctors tell you to do or not to do.

18 Mama Luxe July 1, 2008 at 13:14

Oh, Katja! I heard from Amy on Twitter about this…

I am so sorry to hear about your health worries.

I’m sure you’ll pull through fine, though being in the hospital stinks!

I can’t think of a thing to do besides offer prayers and wishes for a speedy recovery.

If you e-me your hospital address, I’ll send some fun magazines and stuff to take your mind off of it?

Get well SOON!

19 Naomi July 1, 2008 at 13:16

I’m glad you didn’t get a puppy…

I hope you are feeling better soon.

I’m so sorry. I didn’t see your post yesterday so I had no idea. Get well soon.

Keep trying to rest and know you have all of us thinking about you, sending good vibes and prayers. You’re a tough chick!!!!

22 Fairly Odd Mother July 1, 2008 at 14:21

Wow, hang in there and rest, rest, rest. Hope you are doing better real soon.

23 geekmommy July 1, 2008 at 14:28

Hon, I’m not trying to scare you – but this is *very* serious. I’m glad they are keeping you there.

Please have someone communicate how serious to your folks. I know in my case, when I was in critical condition in the hospital, my husband had tried to reassure my family with “she’s okay, she’ll be fine” when there was no such guarantee and in fact, high odds I wouldn’t be.

It wasn’t until they visited me in the ICU the next day that they actually knew how bad off I had been. Meanwhile, I wondered why no one had even called.

Your post yesterday was really a brave front – but it can give someone the wrong impression. This is a very serious condition and I’m EXTREMELY glad you are in the hospital.

To be honest – I don’t know that you’re going to be okay by BlogHer. I’ll pray that you are – but there’s a high chance you won’t be up for it yet by then. I wish I’d known about all of this the other night – I would’ve told you to put off buying tickets and all :(

Please call me or have your husband call me if there’s ANYTHING at all that I can do. You should still have my number.

(((((((((((hug))))))))))))))))

Please just take care of yourself and don’t push it, okay?

24 Kim Priestap July 1, 2008 at 14:53

Take it easy and don’t push it. Get better soon!

25 James from BabySpot.com July 1, 2008 at 18:54

From all of us at BabySpot.com

We hope you get better!!! Rest and take care of yourself.

See you soon

26 Michael Broukhim July 1, 2008 at 19:34

Get well soon, Katja :) …we’re all rooting for you.

27 Marianne of SCANDICA July 1, 2008 at 21:20

Katja, you will make lemonade of this too. Rest, get your health back, that’s the only thing that matters!

Katja,
Take it easy. Put the computer away, already! And rest. Get your health back. You have been through enough.

31 smtwngrl July 2, 2008 at 05:05

My thoughts and prayers go out to you for a quick and 100% recovery. Rest and relax. Your body needs your full attention right now. We’ll all be here when you’re healthy and strong again.

Just read about your condition.
Hope that you get better soon. I’m sure you will get a clean bill of health

33 Angel July 2, 2008 at 08:23

I wish you the absolute best and I hope you’re feeling better soon. I am glad this was caught before anything more serious could happen. You are in my thoughts!

34 Ms. Can't Be Wrong July 2, 2008 at 13:18

It’s a long story as to how I ended up here on your blog, but we’ll save that for when you are feeling better.
Until then, know my prayers are with you.

35 Savvy Auntie Melanie Notkin July 2, 2008 at 17:22

Katja, thinking about you… You have so many friends who love and support you. We’re here for you. Sending you a ((((( hug!)))))

36 Shari McConahay July 2, 2008 at 21:50

Hang in there, Katja! You rest up and get your strength up and then you will be feeling better! I know what its like to be stuck in the hospital and feeling like crap, its no fun at all. We are all here for you.
