Guest guest Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 , there are also lots of Bandster Success stories on the last page of my website at www.BandsterME.com. I agree that these stories are very inspirational and encouraging. I looked at other people's stories and websites often during my own Band loss, and always thought " If all these many different kinds of people can lose so well, I can too! " And I did - and YOU can too !! Sandy R > > , > > I am relatively new here. I would love to hear your story.

March 11th I will be having surgery for it and also to replace the bottom part of my shunt so its a biggie, and I will be in the hospital for at least five days. But I will be able to take my laptop with me. So i'll be able to give you updates when i'm up to it. Other than that its been the same ol same ol, the usual occasional UTI, I just finished a course of rocephin, I get a weeks break then I need to go back on it until surgery.

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Hi , Sorry to hear your in the hospital, but at least your where they can look after you better... Hope they figure out the problem for you... Thanks for keeping us updated... ((( Feeling Better Hugs )))Helen Hi Helen and Everyone, I had a schedualed Dr's appt today but actually ended up calling my neurosurgeon early this morning, I started vomiting last night and have a headache. So he ended up admitting me to the hospital. It looks like some sort of infection as well, (hopefully not shunt) my last temperature was 101.6. But im on IV pain meds and IV nausea meds so they are helping. Also IV antibiotics (hopefully the right ones) I promise to keep you updaded as I know more. In case you havent noticed I can have my laptop with me in the hospital. That will be my salvation. "When life's problems seem overwhelming, look around and see what other people are coping with.
