Iris, glad to hear your surgery went well and that you are dealing with the pain well. I hope the other thing the doctor found is no big thing and that is taken care of soon. THank you for keeping us posted.

Yeah Yeah Yeah for you Iris... You got Hawaii and Lap. Great for you.

Parasites, oh no, another new thing...

Totally unrelated. I have a childhood friend who is probably a

hypocondriac. She had every medical test to find things wrong and

never found anything. She turned to holistic medicine to find things

wrong... She found some kind of person in a medium sized town in

Montana that made a brew that eliminated all parasites. Said her

problem was she had parasites all her life. But by buying her brew

and coming for monthly visits she could clean her of parasites.

Well the brew made EVERYTHING come out. My hypocondriac friend

fished the parasites out of the porcelain throne and saved them. She

wanted to show me. I politely declined. She told me some of the

different shapes etc. There were different brews for different

organs like the liver, pancreas and heart. I was absolutely

enthralled by her story and told her she was crazy, but tell me

more. I haven't ever looked at her specimens. But, dear Iris,

should your doctor need help I can have my friend send me the Brew

doctor's contact information. LOL

Iris, is that why you don't want to check in her often, my gross

stories? When you said parasites, I couldn't help but tell that

story.

So glad you feel better and please keep in touch and tell us what you

are eating.

I AM GLAD IRIS IS DOING WELL... but I am fascinated because we work with livestock, and sometimes things travel.... and I am extremely interested..

Sandy get me the name of the tea... I have heard of it and I could probably find it... but if you can get.it...so much the easier...

we use diatomacous earth on the pigs sometimes, as a parasite control... but there are so many...

Great!

The bad news are that during the lap, my surgeon, Dr. Vierra, found something rare, like a parasite on my spleen...

I hate parasites.

Sandy, Sandy, Sandy .......

You gave me my Monday Morning Laugh!!! Sure it was not snakes?

You are the smile we all need to get thru the day.

Wonder if you order that by the pint, quart or gallon?

Thanks for the laugh

hmmm... for some reason, I'm not sure this brew is what I'm going to

go for... maybe it's only my, or maybe it's the fact I'm a member of

a family with two doctors, but these stories always sound to me too

weird (no offence). So in that case I believe I'll stick to the

modern medicine (although I might try homeopathy).

Regarding what I'm eating, well the first thing I asked for was a

chicken broth. I usually like the home made ones, and I'm not much

into the ones made out of boxes or powder. Still, I can't tell you

how I enjoyed having that cup of soup, and actually feeling it going

all the way to my stomach - and staying there!!! I felt like a kid

managing to do something for the first time!!!

Since then I already had popcycles, tea, hot chocolate, a special

Arab dessert (like a very heavy pudding), and everything remained in

my stomach (-:

According to my surgeon, this is the kind of food I'll have for the

next two weeks, and then I'll start with the real solid food. Was it

the same with all the rest of you who already had their myotomy?

Just wondering.

I imagine how soon you can start eating solid foods depends on how

severe your condition was before you had surgery. It's been a while

since my surgery, but I don't recall have many restrictions on what I

could eat after I left the hospital (Heller Day + 4). I'm not a big

fan of soup and I ended up throwing out most of the cans of soup that

I had stockpiled. Judging from what other people on this board have

said, my condition was apparently pretty mild.

Hi Iris,

I’m so happy to hear that you’re

feeling soo well!! That’s wonderful news!! As you start eating new

foods, let us know how things go. We can’t wait to hear how its helping

you!!

Take care and take it easy!!!

in BC

a short

update, before going back to bed

Well, I had my miotomy yesterday morning, and now

I'm already back

at home (-: I can tell you the lap was not that

bad at all. I didn't

need any kind of pain relief, neither morphine nor

even tylanol. In

a scale of 1-10 (in which 10 is a terrible pain),

I can say in the

begining I had a 2, and now it is hardly a 0.5 (-:

The bad news are that during the lap, my surgeon,

Dr. Vierra, found

something rare, like a parasite on my spleen... He

checked in order

to find out what exactly it is, and apparently

this is something

really rare!!! (once again, I can't go for the

common things...

everything with me must be rare and complicated).

He only found very

few articles regarding it, and he's checking all

over to see whether

he can learn some more about it.

So probably in the neerest future, maybe after I'm

back for Israel,

I'll have to have another lap surgery in order to

take my spleen

out )-: The (so called) good about it is the fact

that at my age,

the spleen doesn't really do much in the body, so

it is no big deal

keep on living without it.

Thank you all for being here for me, and helping

me through the hard

times I had in the begining. I'm going to stay

arround, and I'll do

my best in order to help others in the future.

You're a great

community!!!

Hi Iris,

Glad your surgery went well. Please tell us what the parasite is called ?!
