Dr. Halliday / Gas Leaks / HAIR FALLING OUT

[Guest guest]

Hi Y'all,

I flunked the swallowing test big time. I could have told them that

and saved some time and money. ;~) Really though, that is no test to

be taken lightly. I've often wondered what would happen if I were

alone and couldn't have had help getting that piece of food out of my

throat. The radiologist told me that there is surgery for that these

days. My hiatial(sp) hernia was huge. Have any of you had surgery

for that or know what to do about it?

We ( and I) go to see Dr. Halliday tomorrow morning. I'm not

used to hitting the road about 6:30 every morning. I'm exhausted.

The only test that was not done was the brain spect test and she said

she would order that one for sure. I'll let you know how things go

tomorrow. If any of you can help me with Dr. Frim's e-mail and what

to say, please jump in there.

ABOUT THE GAS LEAKS: The house that we were renovating turned out to

have gas leaks under it for a good 15 years. I smelled it for

several months, but couldn't get to have it checked out. I

finally picked up the phone, when I opened the back door one evening

and it really got to me. I called the gas company right then. It

was after hours, but they came right out. The gas man told me that

95% of people reporting gas leaks were women.

Anyway, when they shut the meter off and they said, " Lady you should

have been up there with the space shuttle (referring to the shuttle

that blew up)! He told me that just using the phone could have been

made a big enough spark to blow us away.

A couple of months after that, I ended up in the hospital not

walking, talking, eating, and just not functioning. My family asked

about the gas leak and the neuro said that that could'n't cause any

brain damage. I really beg to differ.

CAN ANYONE OF YOU WITH MORE KNOWLEDGE ABOUT GAS LEAKS, PLEASE GET

BACK TO ME?

I really think that was the big beginning that made me so sick. The

timing really figures in with my worst attack of being ill. I've

never been well since that time. Thank God that we don't live there

anymore.

HAIR FALLING OUT:

At that same time I was hospitalised and my hair started falling out

by the handfuls. It did grow back in the sposts that were left

bald. It felt like little stubbles when it came back in. Also, I

was in my early 30s when I lost most of my pubic hair that has not

returned. Please, help me figure the pieces of my puzzle together.

Hopefully, I can help some of you. Some of your thoughts have struck

home with me.

Sorry this got so long, again.

In His name,
