A Room with a View
Friday, 23 June 2017
The good news keeps on coming! Ronni was moved out of The Unit and into a regular room this morning after her NG Tube was removed. She has been sitting in a chair and clearing her lungs out as the rest of her body starts to kick in and work on its own. I called to chat this afternoon and there was no answer as Ronni had gone for a walk!
Ronni's medical team continues to impress me. They are knowledgeable and compassionate. They are patient and are willing to take extra time to answer many questions that I spring on them.
Ollie is great and being loved on by many great friends. This experience has really brought to light the goodness in people. Thank you.
Oh happy day!

Great news! Walking is good...gets the blood flowing.
I appreciate the updates!
I saw a sign the other day saying: "I saw that" signed Karma
Autumn, I am certain your good deeds here are being seen.

Great news! Thank you! Sending you and Ronni big hugs. Take care.

With that excellent news, it must be time for get well cards and corny jokes to help (or hinder) Ronni's healing process.
Here's my contribution, a bit of doggerel dedicated to Ollie (and Autumn):
It's Spring, it's Spring,
The bird is on the Wing!
Absurd, absurd, absurd!
The wing is on the Bird!

Think back - a week ago today. The apprehension, the dread, all the emotions before major surgery. Then think forward - next week at this time. Ronni talking, walking, eating and ....maybe writing. Then celebrate the wonder of these present moments. Gratitude and love . Ann Burack-Weiss

Sorry I am so far away. I can send prayers and good thoughts tho. Thanks to you also for all you are doing.
Posted by: Mage Bailey | Saturday, 24 June 2017 at 08:29 AM
Great progress! Just a few days after 14 hours of surgery and a major assault on the body, it is amazing to hear you are up and taking steps Ronni. It must be difficult, but I know it's the best way to regain strength and ward off complications.
You'll be ready for tennis with Peter! You go strong elder woman!!

It's so great to check in and see good news! Blessings to both of you!
Posted by: Carolyn | Saturday, 24 June 2017 at 09:25 AM
God has richly blessed us with Ronni's wealth of information and the vitality to share it. God has blessed Ronni with a good friend in you, Autumn. For all of this, I am thankful.
And now, to hear how quickly Ronni is healing, and what a great medical team she has, I also give thanks.
Posted by: dkzody | Saturday, 24 June 2017 at 09:52 AM
She is really zooming along. They don't let you lay around long in hospitals these days. Hope she will be home soon. Thanks again for the updates and positive news.
Posted by: Patti Kelly | Saturday, 24 June 2017 at 10:05 AM
Hooray! Ronni does indeed have a VILLAGE around her. Nothing "official" yet here we all are! Great karma .... she has given so much to us, we are glad to be able to give something back!
Posted by: JB Lockhart | Saturday, 24 June 2017 at 10:08 AM
Such outstanding news.
I have decided Ronni has two teams. Her Oregon team headed by Autumn and her surgeon and including caring nurses, good neighbors, and Ollie.
Then her vast virtual team who have been sending prayers, good Karma, healing thoughts and constant hope for the great recovery she is exhibiting.
Heading it all is one strong lady named Ronni.
May the good news keep coming.

I forgot to add that I loved the title of this post. A room with a view - clever.
Posted by: Darlene | Saturday, 24 June 2017 at 10:47 AM
How wonderful! Keep up with the good news!
Posted by: Rosemary Woodel | Saturday, 24 June 2017 at 10:52 AM
Wonderful and welcome news about Ronni being in a room with a view. AND walking. My, my. Give her please my love and best wishes.
And Autumn, you too deserve as much praise as we can heap on you for being such a faithful correspondent, for keeping us all regularly informed about Ronni and you and Ollie. Thank you so very much.
I hope all three of you have a good weekend -- and yes, isn't it fine that it is this weekend and not last, when dear Ronni was so down - understandably, of course --- but gee, maybe my old pessimistic soul has reason to retreat for awhile, in my strong hope that things will continue to improve on this daily basis.

I am so happy for Ronni! Her steady progress is wonderful! And Ollie... how great that he enjoys the affection of so many of Ronni's friends and neighbors. Thank you for the work you're doing, Autumn.
Posted by: Frank Paynter | Saturday, 24 June 2017 at 12:02 PM
You all give hope and reason to rejoice. One heals, all heal.
Posted by: Salinda Dahl | Saturday, 24 June 2017 at 12:26 PM
"This experience has really brought to light the goodness in people. Thank you." Unquote. Those are Autumn's final thoughts today. And my immediate response was: "Yes, Autumn, and you are foremost among those who are lighting the way of goodness on behalf of Ronni!" Oh, that all of us should be so fortunate as to have a friend such as Autumn. Now, Go!, Ronni - -

Thank you Autumn for being such a constant friend, to Ronni and to us!
So delighted to hear of Ronni's continued recovery. The best thing after surgery is to move, move, move. It's wonderful that she can.
Continued strength and light for Ronni,
Gentle hugs for both Ronni and you, and an ear scritch for Ollie,

I got home from a long day being cashier at my sister's garage sale to the wonderful news of Ronni in a new room and WALKING!! That is such remarkable recovery so early, but Ronni has the will and the stubbornness to do this.
A kiss (from afar) from Nibbles to Ollie, even enduring a possible hiss in return. Thanks, Autumn, for your great blog posts and assistance to Ronni.
