Guest guest Posted August 9, 2001 Report Share Posted August 9, 2001 hey robin. re: joy--its hard to keep a good woman down. lol. you should see my new harley-davidson boots. actually i should see them too--the day i got them a friend tried them on and walked out wearing them. to " break them in for me " --do u believe that? i have a feeling that they made it to the gay prde parade last sunday. i hope they enjoyed themselves. about the procedure--i can drive and use the stairs now (although it is painful) and yes, my friends insisted on staying with me for several days. it was extremely helpful. and i would have been in trouble if i'd started bleeding here alone. but it didn't do my skitzoid tendancies any good. :-) i'm gladthe ablation is over and i hope they found every thing (they burned 4 channels out) because if i had to go back & do it again i truly think i would lose my mind. (the guys in the or gave me the straps they tied me down with as souviniers, but a nurse threw them away. at least the men in there were rowdy (dirty) which helped me maintain somwhat. they also took a picture of my heart with the cathaters in it, which was cool. so i am doing ok.

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2001 Report Share Posted August 10, 2001 guys, i really am ok. my pride is hurt because i felt like a big baby. the only reason i didn't scream through the thing was because i had my jaws clamped shut! lol. but i am recovering just fine. i have found that the sicker i get with this dd the more claustrophobic i get. i never used to mind cat scans and enclosed spaces, but now it really messes with my mind. do ya'll do that now? caro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 10, 2001 Report Share Posted August 10, 2001 Caro... actually I'm the opposite, hon !! I have more trouble with wide open spaces now !!!! I think its cause I cant consentrate on to much at one time ??!! And I seem to get overwhelmed when in a big area !! 8^) guys, i really am ok. my pride is hurt because i felt like a big baby. the only reason i didn't scream through the thing was because i had my jaws clamped shut! lol. but i am recovering just fine. i have found that the sicker i get with this dd the more claustrophobic i get. i never used to mind cat scans and enclosed spaces, but now it really messes with my mind. do ya'll do that now? caro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 10, 2001 Report Share Posted August 10, 2001 Caro, I have always been claustrophobic, what has happened to me since the onset of this DD is not wanting to be touched! I have become almost phobic about people being too close to me physcically! Like going to the doc or dentist and being handled! robin > guys, i really am ok. my pride is hurt because i felt like a big baby. > the only reason i didn't scream through the thing was because i had my > jaws clamped shut! lol. but i am recovering just fine. > > i have found that the sicker i get with this dd the more claustrophobic > i get. i never used to mind cat scans and enclosed spaces, but now it > really messes with my mind. do ya'll do that now? caro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2001 Report Share Posted August 20, 2001 CARO... JUST GOT TO THIS MAIL FROM THE 16TH !!!! DID THEY SEND YOUR MOM HOME, HON !!?? HOWS SHE DOIN ?! 8^) thanks for the support guys. taking care of myself first is what my bro gets so po'd about me with. he's still caretaking. and thinks i'm cold and unfeeling because i don't react like i used to and like he does anymore. personally, this is a much much better way for me to live. i just can't figure which is the better way to vote for my mom. i don't want to be cruel to her and with the mania and the altz i think the potential for cruelty is there--in the treatment chosen. where is solomon when ya need him. hugs, caro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
