So she is doing just fine and does not seem the least bit upset that someone "ripped her heart out"? All she wants to do is talk to the doc that saved her life. Give me a break! I don’t like her with Daniel. I know I’m not getting Jack back but must they sully the character in his absence? Can’t the leave the door open for him to return one day? Nope! Have to make him a selfish SOB right now. AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!! I just want Jennifer to have a decent storyline. I liked the scene with her and Carly though. Those two should move in together and be roomies.
I tend to wonder if this is the next couple (Daniel and Jennifer), that they will put together just to break up again. Jen and Dan – no way, can I see that at all. Especially since she was interested in Dr. Ben until he did his ghoul thing. I could see Dan and Carly together, maybe they could straighten out Mel!
I can understand why Jennifer would want to thank Daniel for saving her life, but I can’t see why she would ignore what happened to her like you said Manjenco, the writers just seem to be shining that on.
Her kids don’t come to Mom’s bedside when she almost died? I know they’ve alluded to her not being able to be in touch with Jack, but come on…even if he’s on a "walk-about" trying to "find" himself (Jack always seemed lost – for a fact!), but even the aboriginal tribes have cell phones now days!!!
that she isn’t with her kids. Are they supposed to be in boarding school? They talk about Jack Jr. like he is almost grown, so who knows? At least she should stay close to them so they could see a parent now and again. She first came back to Salem to tie up Gram’s affairs, but if she is going to stay in Salem longer, she should bring her kids to town. I know Abby is coming later, but what about Jack Jr.?
but I do know that she and Daniel and Carly will be the next triangle …. no I’m not spoiling anything, I just believe with all my heart that’s what will happen, and it makes me sick. God, I hate this writing team.
I don’t see why they have to put Jennifer (or Carly, for that matter) with ANYONE! Why not let them deal with their emotional/love losses without a man? If they must, then let Jennifer have a long talk with Jack (off camera since they can’t get the actor) and make a decision to divorce. Then show her coping with being a single woman for awhile. They opened the door for a great storyline when she was telling Carly that she had no job and didn’t know where her husband was etc. Let us, the viewers have time to adjust to her new single status before trying to find her a mate!!
And the same thing goes for Carly! Let her stand on her own for awhile. I really don’t care who they put her with – just let her really get over Bo first!
And it is silly to recover from a heart "transplant" so quickly! That is essentially what she had done! I’m not a doctor or a nurse and don’t play one on TV, but it seems to me that you would be in CCU and hooked up to a lot of monitors for a few days at least!
I did have by-pass surgery and, you’re absolutely correct, you are hooked up to so much crap you can hardly turn over. I had oxygen, IV, and heart monitors (which she has) and add to that, a catheter, a central line (in my neck), a constant BP cuff, an O2 monitor on my finger, stockings on my lower legs that were continually being pumped full of air and released and, I think that’s it.
But I will say, they got me out of bed right away, in the recovery room in fact. When they said they were going to get me up, I said, "Are you kidding? With all this stuff I’m attached to?"
I’m not a doctor either, although I’ve had enough surgeries to probably qualify as one, but I believe that a heart transplant (which is esentially what she had) would be even more severe. At least she reacted well to pulling her IV out. That was pretty funny.
I agree with several of you. Let Jennifer do some growing up on her own, and let Carly deal with all the changes in her life over the last few years. Both of them are career women who should be able to go at least a few months without men in their lives. And, yes, let the Jennifer/Jack relationship end before she gets involved with anyone. I loved majenco’s suggestion above that the two should be roomies!!
restraining her at the wound site, did you all see how she was strong arming her across Jennifer’s chest?
And can someone reject their own heart? Granted not that many people have their hearts removed from their chest cavity, (except in dire operations), but I’ve never heard of rejecting ones own body part, like Daniel said yesterday.
AND more observations here on Jennifer…why can’t she have a telephone? IF they are letting everyone and their brother walk in and out of her room, (i.e., tons of visitors) since she was there on day one yet she cannot have a phone and they want to keep medicating her!!! She wouldn’t be getting any more excited with actual visitors in the room than a phone call. Why couldn’t she have a telephone to make a phone call? DUMB!
Anyone else notice how Dr. Danny is a control freak? To say to a patient, like he did to Jennifer, three or four times, holding his hand up to his ear saying something like, "are you paying attention to me – I can’t hear you, I’m sorry what? What? WHAT?" – I’d slap him (a doctor) silly for treating me like a two year old!
There’s no reason she shouldn’t be able to make a phone call. Stupid, stupid, stupid!
As far as rejecting her own heart, I don’t know if that’s possible but I do know that rejection of a replanted hand, finger, toe or such is subject to rejection. I’ve seen operations like that on TV and they have to take anti-rejection drugs just like someone receiving another person’s organ does. So maybe it is possible. I’m not sure there are too many cases of someone having their own heart replanted in them or why that would even happen.
Well, this is interesting. I did some quick research about replantation and it appears the only successful replantation (where the body part has been completely severed from the body) that’s been done has been fingers, toes or arms…NO HEARTS! Did that surprise anyone?
and whether or not her body could or would reject it, I suppose anything could have gone wrong to force the heart out of normal rhythm, say like a fall from standing height to a hospital (tile or concrete) floor might do it, not to mention breaking open stitches, etc., etc. So frustrating, and Jennifer is certainly placing herself in a huge amount of future danger by her stupid antics.
