it just keeps coming

[Karanis]

I debated over and over whether I was even going to do this update....because things change almost every other day to two days...

turns out there will be 3 surgeons....which is now slated for october 11th....

and add what my ob/gyn thinks is a hernia near my belly button, and I"m wearing an abdominal stabilizer to keep the hernia IN because if it comes out and hardens and I cant stick it back in like I HAVE been able to, I get to have ER surgery, and then cant be touched for six months....

I go to meet with general surgeon this wednesday to see what he thinks about the hernia, with the likelihood of having to have a CT scan because the pain radiates about 3-4 inches each way from my belly button....

AND I'm retaining fluid.....I've gained 12 lbs in the last week alone and have been put on a diuretic to help get rid of some of the fluid....I'm up to 160 lbs......those of you that have met me, met me at 118, and that was just 2 yrs ago......30 of those lbs has come in the last 6 months, and 12 of those in the last week....

so, I meet the general surgeon wednesday morning, then off to concord which is 45 minutes away for the urodynamics testing, woohoo *rolls eyes*.....

then I get to wait for results.....and possible testing from general depending on what his "esteemed opinion" is......

so...more or less, I dont know shit except that I feel like it.

I'll keep you posted as I know more......or maybe just when its done and taken care of ....cause I"m about fed up with this crap, and I'm sick of fucking being sick, I want to  smack them all and tell them to hurry the hell up with their damn decision(s) cause I'm getting pissy.

*snorts and stomps my foot*

I dont know really what else to say.....times are tough but I will prevail ....this will pass.

*hooks up with Kels and plots* I have My quiva's....You want the bow and arrows? *EFG*

[Karanis]

actually kinda chuckles at My Sisters........guys, just head north and keep going past east bum fuck, turn right at the old barn, keep the lake on your left and I have no less than five compound bows for you to use (although J still doesnt let me use broadhead arrows, and now I cant even use my bow till spring).......

but maybe woobie can be conned into bringin up her bone saw chipper......

food for thought....

thanks for actually making Me smile guys, its kinda rare these last couple of weeks....

and Rags, I do in fact get hit after hit, but it could still be worse, and I still have a great support network.....I have the best surgeons, I just have to be patient, its the not knowing exactly what is wrong and why I'm retaining fluid, and not being able to use any pain killers....((my magic drug is motrin, tylenol doesnt work, and I refuse to use anything stronger cause they mess with my head))....but as you say, and you yourself taught me.......

this too shall pass.......and both you and woobie remember the chimes, and if there is no breeze, simply blow a kiss to them, and you'll hear my laughter........

I'll be fine.

Love, Kar

It's good to hear that you are smiling, Sis.  I know for a fact that positive attitude and determination do more for a person's health than doctors do...and this is from someone who wants to be a doctor and already works in the healthcare field.  Hell, I know in nursing I do less for a patient than their support group of family and friends does for their health...please keep your chin up!

love,
