Guest guest Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 Hi Pippa, Thanks so much for your message and your support before and during my stay in hospital. Yes, I am very lucky to have found Anita and Isabella. I am very grateful for their support, which includes keeping you all up to date. We are still in touch quite frequently. In a couple of months Anita and I have to return to Castrop-Rauxel for a check-up, consisting of the four tests again. Guess what, we are going to have them together! Anita asked Dr. Schulz and he said he will arrange another set of equipment to do the 24-hour Ph-test! It will make the visit a lot more fun LOL! I am still so very happy to have found Dr. Schulz. In the end things did not really go as planned, and I really feel sorry for him. He did nothing wrong and still I ended up with a "complication". The main reasons I chose Dr. Schulz were his bedside manners and care for his patients and his experience. It was that experience that saved my life, as without that he would not have had this little voice, telling him he did not have a good feeling about the situation. He moved heaven and earth to convince me to come back and I am so grateful for that!! I am a bit frustrated about how long it takes to get my energy back, but am enjoying life and the beauty of small things like a singing bird, a blue sky or a simple flower. I am sure we will get there at the end. Hope you are doing well!

You have two very special friends in Isablla and Anita they both kept the group informed on how you were doing I am sure that you friendship will last a very long time. Take things slowly and let your body build its self back up again. Look forward to hearing from you again soon Take care Pippa Moody friends. Drama queens. Your life? Nope! - their life, your story.

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 That just shows what a great doctor he is if Dr Schulz is happy for you and Anita to have your tests done at the same time at least you will have each other for support. I had open surgery last September and belive me it took me a few months to get back to feeling 100% I was so tired and I didn't go through what you did. I know it must be frustrating but just take each day as it comes some days you will have more energy than others. It is going to take a while for your body to build its strength back up do you have a hobby that maybe you can enjoy and doesn't require a lot of energy. I started cross stitching while I was off sick last year and really enjoy it, it doesn't take up any energy and is very relaxing. I am doing well eating with no problems I still do keep and eye on what I am eating and drink to help the food go down.

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 Hi Astrid I was in hospital for 10 days 3 days before my surgery they had me on IV feeds for 2 days to hydrate me back up again. I stayed in for a further 6 days after too like you there was just no way that I could have gone home I really was still very week and struggling to get around. In the UK if you have lap (keyhole) I have seen members be in hospital for around 3 nights and if its open then the same as me around 6 to 7 nights. It was a sturggle when I went back to work which was nearly 4 months after my surgery I had to start on limted hours and work my way up to my full hours over the course of about 6 weeks. Hope you get your strength back soon Take care Pippa x > > Astrid it is wonderful to hear from you, > > > > I am so sorry that you have had such an awful time and am > shocked by the lack of care that you were given by the hospital in > Holland, it was good fortune that you were able to contact Dr Schulz > he is a fantastic doctor and so glad that you were very well cared > for. > > > > You have two very special friends in Isablla and Anita they both > kept the group informed on how you were doing I am sure that you > friendship will last a very long time. > > > > Take things slowly and let your body build its self back up > again. > > > > Look forward to hearing from you again soon > > > > Take care > > > > Pippa > > > > > > > > > > > > --------------------------------- > > Moody friends.
