hi, ive been watching your threads, cause ive been in a bad car accident in 03 and i know how it feels to be in your daighters shoes. =( no fun at all.

as for her urinary retension, if she is taking vicodin or any painkiller simular to vicodin, (e.g. hydrocodone, loratab, ect.) it can do that. theres not much to be done about it other than lay off the pain killers for a day or two, but if youre in pain, its a d*mned if you do d*mned if you dont situation.

if she isnt taking pain killers, i hate to say it, but maybe she should mention it to her doctor. i know after the millionth trip to the doctor that shes probably about ready to pull out her hair. my accident was right before my freshman year of college, i feel for her.

keep your chin up, you wonderful mom you. youre doing great. =)

(((Andrea))),

Thanks for the update. The heart is trully a remarkable organ. I know it's hard for her to consider to take the semester off. When my Mom passed I missed a couple of weeks. I was so overwhelmed trying to make up the work and dealing with her passing that it was just too much. My advisor took me gently aside and reassured me that in the long run it would be better if I started fresh the following semester. I tried to argue w/him. But he was right. I was able to refocus and did much better. I think with everything that was going on, a part of me didn't want to disappoint Mom or myself by showing them I couldn't handle it. Call it pride or stubborness. Taking the semester off was the best thing I did. I gave myself time to heal. Nobody will think less of your daughter if she does the same.

Glad to hear Zach has a girlfriend. Kiss the granddaughter for us. Oh by the way, where's her boyfriend in all of this? Did I miss something? Will continue to say prayers for her speedy recovery. Much love and blessings to you and your family.

Live strong,
Karilynn & Pipers Kitty
