Some of you already know that our Starby (Starbuck8) is in the hospital awaiting surgery.

She's a klutz, love her tons, but it's the truth. ;) She tripped on a shovel, broke her leg in two places, broke her wrist and her eye is swollen shut.

She'll need surgery to fix her leg, it's the femur. She'll also need to recover after the surgery and she's on her own, just her and her dog Niki.

Understandably she's a bit down, worried about Niki, not sure what's going to happen.

Shaz gave me the idea to start a thread asking everyone to write a few words to Starby to wish her a speedy recovery and let her know that we're thinking of her.

So please, write a few words, I'll print them all out in a few days and send them to her. That should put a smile on her face.

No essay okay, I'll run out of paper! ;)

Yes, I'm the first one to post.

Get well soon Starby, we miss you here. I'm sure your furry baby will be okay.

Missing you!

Sarah [and Herbie too]

Well Starby, even though I have only been on this site for a few months you have become one of the few people who I genuinely trust for advice and wisdom. During your time in hospital you will be sorely missed by everyone here.
I wish you all the best, and hope you have a speedy recovery.

Know that we are all thinking of you and send our love and hugs, to both you and Niki :)

Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Get well soon.
Regards. redhed35.

In the meantime, I've got Danny all to m'self! Yessssss :D

Wow, Starby, I had no idea!! I hope you are doing well and this finds you feeling better. Godspeed for a quick and relatively painless recovery. Take care, and I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Hey starby
Sorry to hear about your accident , Wishing you a swift recovery , hurry back we'll miss you.

M

Maybe we can find out about suing the shovel company for your injuries? Were there any warning labels on the shovel about the hazards of tripping on them? I will look into it while you are away... ;)

In the meantime, all angels deserve angels of their own and I really hope that yours is watching in your time of need. Get well soon, you will be in my prayers.

Starby just called, she's in a great deal of pain, the morphine isn't working and I still haven't been able to get in touch with her friend. I've called twice, left a message, nothing.

Niki has been home alone for 14 hours now, Starby's really worried. I really don't know what to do for her. If only she lived closer to me. :(

The worry over Niki isn't helping her, that's for sure. I just wish that I could get her friend on the phone already!

Grrrr. Just an update. I'm frustrated. :(

My God Starby! Please.....enough already!

Just kidding my friend, please get better as soon a you can, miss you too...

That's what I said Stringer!

I told her that if she didn't have bad luck, she wouldn't have any. :p

I think someone's put a hex on that girl. :(

And... after she is home safe and doing well, I want pics of that shiner... :rolleyes::D

Worried about Nikki too...

Please heal fast!

I knew she was so worried about Niki, more worried about her then herself, but Starby had to go to the hospital and get all fixed up. It is so frustrating that no one is close by enough to help her and her little one. ALTY, I hope you get in touch with her friend soon.

Wishing you a fast recovery Starby, and that somebody will be able to check up on Niki for you...

Joe

Dear Ducky,

Oh Lawrd! This is horrible you breaking your leg; especially since I chopped the other one off last week. :(

Best wishes :),
Noux

Hey Starby, be sure to heal fast. We miss you so much on here... :( I never thought that the accident was so serious. I'm sure we'll find a solution for Niki, so don't too much worry about her for the time being, and think of healing quickly. You were the first one to welcome me when I entered your famous threads... Come back soon, okay?

Best wishes of recovery,
Unky

Oh that's terrible news! Please tell her I hope she gets well soon. I sure hope someone can go check on her dog for her. Maybe you could contact the social services department of the hosptial and ask if a hospital volunteer could possibly go out to her home to feed the dog.

Hi Starby, Hope your feeling better and Niki is OK!

You'll be missed :D

Hey Starby! I hope you have a TV there so you can watch your hubby sing! If not, I hope you get well soon! =P

- none12345

Hope all is well very soon.

THANKS!!!!!! I have ALL these email jokes...who the H*LL am I going to send them too? Do you have any ideeee how frustrating this can be?????? Give me the email address at your hospital...K????

Actually, I am thinking of you, this place is really empty without the featherless, one legged quacker...

Get well sweetheart.

Stringer

UPDATE:

I just got a call from Starby's friend. Starby is in rough shape, will probably be in the hospital for a month, possibly more. This is going to be a slow recovery, she will be needing help when she gets to come home.

Her friend is contacting Starby's family, telling them that they are going to have to pitch in, suck it up, she needs them now.

Niki is still at home, Starby's friend goes every morning to feed her, give her water, let her outside for a romp and bathroom break. Niki is not happy, she's never been alone before, but the friend cannot take her back to her house.

Starby's friend has been trying to get in touch with Starby's brother to tell him he has to take Niki until Starby comes back home. So far no luck, but Niki is getting the basics so no worries.

Starby's friend now has my email address and she promised to keep me posted on any new developments. As soon as I hear something, you'll hear it too. :)

That's it for now.

Ya, this is a bad situation. Starby really doesn't have anyone, only her one friend and a family that is less then helpful.

I'm going to talk to hubby, see if he would mind having Niki come stay with us. Starby's brother sometimes comes to Edmonton, if he would be willing to bring Niki up with him then I'll keep her here until Starby can take care of her again.

I could get in huge trouble if I do this, but I think I can juggle it. You see, where I live, you're only legally allowed 2 dogs, you need a special license to have more. Well, shhh, don't tell anyone, but I have 3 dogs, no special license. If I take in Niki that's 4 dogs. If someone complained, I could have all my dogs and Niki taken away from me.

I have to think this through. :(

Certainly is something to think through.
Wouldn't it be nice to be rich so you could just help people anytime they needed it?

It sure would be nice.

If I had the money and a sitter, I'd be by her side right now. Sadly I have neither, just can't do it.

I just wish her family would step it up and take care of this. That's what family is for after all. It just makes me mad, I want to bust some heads. :(

Sorry, angry Alty is rearing her ugly head. ;)

Sorry HC, no room number.

I hope you can catch it in time.

Just get the delivery guy to ask at the front desk, they'll direct him to her room. :)

You're such a sweetie! :)
