Guest guest Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 i am sorry to see you are having difficulties again. i also got another surgery presented to me yesterday too. but mine will be on my left foot. (3rd time). wasn't really what i wanted to hear. i won tickets to see the band styx tomorrow night and i am going to the chicago, earth, wind and fire concert in a month. i am also planning to attend a family reunion in ky/tn in sept. so i told the dr not to expect me until the fall. but that means i need to suffer with the pain at least one more summer. i have been working out since the beginning of the year trying to be as strong as possible for my trips. i dropped about 8 lbs so far. but it has pretty much become a daily routine which is a good thing. i'm sure your mom is right and we will get thru this too. kathy in il Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 Tess, Your saga with your tummy is about the same as mine with my neck. I go for a new MRI today to find out if another disc is ruptured. I am having tremendous pain in my right arm...if it isn't one thing it is another. I have you in my prayers and hope you find some answers soon and that your life improves 1000%. At least we try to keep smiling.

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 Tess, sorry to hear that you need surgery. Going to a GI doc for a scope isn't such a bad idea. That way they can look and make sure your intestines are not caught up in the hernia. If they are, then this gives the surgeon a better idea of how soon it needs to be done. Let us know how things go with the GI doc and keep us up todate on the rest. Take care and let me know if there is anything I can do for you......Love and hugs, Marina > Hi...well, my tummy is still not doing so great.
