Guest guest Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 Hello again Well, our doc replied me already and said that Willow's cartledge (spelling???) is somewhat different in her ears, but that it is no problem whatsoever and that her head looks good. I guess it really is ME!!! I must have stared at her head for soo long that I see every pimple and every bump. Any good suggestions on how to stop this obsession? lol thanks Sandy Willow's obsessed Mom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2004 Report Share Posted June 1, 2004 Cathrine, I haven't read all the other responses yet, but I think this is a good thing. I think if you're not ready, but are being monitored carefully by your doctor, then you're on the right track. " Not being ready " doesn't mean you aren't getting better. You are. But it's going to take a little time. Last November my mother-in-law went to have her knee replaced. Oddly enough, there is a woman here at work who needed a replacement too and went in for the same surgery only about 2 weeks after my mother-in-law had hers. By early March, when my in-laws came to visit, my mother-in-law was doing beautifully and getting around just fine. But today--early June--the woman at work is still using a cane and in fact suffered a setback when she went to Las Vegas a couple weeks ago and did a lot of walking. She still has to take an anti-inflammatory. They are both about the same age, they both had replacement surgery, both have good prognoses and high hopes for a healthy future but one got there sooner. In the case of the second woman, still having to use a cane doesn't mean she isn't healing. She is. But it takes different people different amounts of time to heal from the same issue. I'm glad your doctor is looking out for you and I want you to feel better, so I think you're doing the right thing. I'm thinking of you and hoping you feel better!

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2004 Report Share Posted June 1, 2004 > > Sounds like you have a smart Doc!!! > Jeff I think & hope so. But should I not wait longer than 6 months ?! I guess I really do view Lex more as a band aid than a cure ?! I don't expect it to cure me. I expect it to keep things physiologically in balance as long as they are not balanced on their own ?!

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2004 Report Share Posted June 1, 2004 I would still follow your Doc's instructions....There is no " right " time " except when your body/mind says so! As far as a cure for anxiety and/or depression, I am not sure that one really exists. There are chemical forces at work, but you can " adjust " your thinking and understand the problem which helps make it better. The thing I had the most success with was eliminating the " negative self talk " a few years ago. That was a clear example of thought process change. If conditions are caused by chemical imbalances, then band aids are better than nothing! Best of luck Jeff > > > > Sounds like you have a smart Doc!!! > > Jeff > > I think & hope so. > But should I not wait longer than 6 months ?! > I guess I really do view Lex more as a band aid than a cure ?! > I don't expect it to cure me.
