Can't imagine when it's a person.... >> we became very close cuz of her illness cuz I would visit her in the hospital everyday cuz I worked there and she had many long admissions. We would pour our hearts out to one another. In the earlier part of our relationship, she was involved with drugs as was my brother-in-law so we didn't have much in common. But I saw her divorce him and get str8 and remarry and have another child and put her life back in order. She really tried and then was getting tired and misdiagnosed Chronic Fatgue Syndrome while Hodgkins advanced undetected. She felt God was punishing her for her bad days of using drugs and not being the best mom she should have been for her first son (my nephew). She was a sweet girl who just fell in love with & married the wrong guy. My bil was goodlooking and very charming when he wanted to be. She was simply a victim.

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2001 Report Share Posted July 14, 2001 Hi Casey, We just returned from our river trip and I am slowly making it through e-mail. What a beautiful article about your friend, . I am so sorry about her passing. She certainly lived fully to the very end and will be an inspiration to many. I know you will miss her very much! All went extremely well with the children while we were gone for 11 days. It was so good to see them and it sounds like Aunt and Grandma had a great time with them. Our trip went very well, also. I enjoyed seeing country I have never seen. We went to Walla Walla, then to ton, spent the night in Grangeville and then over LoLo Pass to almost Missoula and then to Darby and Hamilton and then to the Selway River Put in. Lots of fun rapids and adventure in a beautiful river canyon. None of the things I worried about happened, such as Sara getting sick or having problems around the water, etc. or any number of things that could have come our way, for which I am very grateful. Hope all is well with everyone. Marcia Mom to Sara (DS) and 6 and Lucas 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 I have a very good friend (like a brother to me) staying here for a week at my house. He is the Chief Internist at a major hospital in Zurich, Switzerand. His take on all my issues? PA is rare, and PA with Cushings even more so. PA with Cushings beyond his expertise. He doesn't screen for PA, knows that high bp with low k might indicate it, but thinks mcbs are all that's necessary. If they work, you have the answer and that's about it. Adrenal tumors aren't malignant. High cortisol is no big deal. His take on salt? Bring it on. His take on my husband's and my DASH diet? Harumph. His take on fat? Eat it. Nice, marbled steaks, pork schnitzel in butter, cheese, cheese, cheese, bratwurst. Only healthy thing about him is that he likes to walk. Walks about a mile a day, but between the two of us? He really has no grasp of why we avoid red meat, salt, sugar, coffee or fat. He just got back from a big physician conference in New Orleans, has a big notebook full of his notes and copies of the power points of the sessions attended, I read a couple of sessions that related to blood pressure, noticed the study was funded and presented by a major pharmaceutical co. Looked at all of the sessions, all are as well. Is this the continuing education of physicians? What is the world coming to? I get up every morning and hand him a pub med article, and yes Dr. G., the evolution. He dismissed " internet medicine " this morning, so he gets one on that tomorrow.

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 Boy, sounds like he is " practicing Job Security " ! Is his brother an Undertaker? Tell him to call me, yes, I did graduate from High School! Maybe he would like to experience a day or two with high cortisol feeding MDD. I saw my psychiatrist on Monday and she quit! (True story but I got a letter last week telling me it was happening the end of June!) > > I have a very good friend (like a brother to me) staying here for a week at my house.

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 Wow! Your shrink quitting on you? That's a bummer! As far as my bro, he's been in a constant state of some kind of depression ever since I've known him, except for maybe his senior year of high school....back in 1976. We had fun that year! Yes concerts, > > > > I have a very good friend (like a brother to me) staying here for a week at my house. He is the Chief Internist at a major hospital in Zurich, Switzerand.

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 Hey there - as the wife, daughter and granddaughter of a long line of undertakers - I resemble that remark - We're all big believers in the old adage of when it's your time - it's your time. Have seen too many cases of the seemingly healthy young person dropping dead for no apparent reason and the person that can't last the night who makes a full recovery. No we are not Christian Scientists and completely believe in seeking the best medical treatment possible - But the mysteries of life and death are beyond our certainty. I also have a long list of songs that should NEVER be played at a funeral but have been - if anyone's interested. > > > > > > I have a very good friend (like a brother to me) staying here for a week at my house.
