Traci ~

I think the way you are doing things are perfect ! and a very healthy way to do it ! Closing the book allows complete recovery and closure for you....... My book will be closed too. But I love blood and guts so I want to see them, and have pics of them........maybe have them and make something out of them.........artsy fartsy, who knows. I have my last pair.........It just depends on my mood at the time......LOL......

Thank you so much for the support, and likewise, I will always be here for you.........Love Dede

Oh, Lynn ~

Bless your heart. I am so sorry one more doc down the drain. What a waste of your time ! ! I cannot stand when they dont know how to draw blood ! There is no reason for that at all !

Let me know what your results are....... I hope your hashi's is reversing ! !

I couldnt take something that kept me up all night......that would interrupt life as a whole ! I am sorry you are having to deal with that ! !

Thanks Dede so much for all your love and support.

I'm so happy and peaceful when I'm with the horses.

I'm not even sure how long my surgery was. I asked my

husband to speak to the doctor about that stuff.

There was no rupture (thank God). It was the huge

hematoma that caused the swelling. The hematoma was

definitely bad news.

I don't want to see the my implants, capsules etc.,

even in pictures. I don't want my implants back at

all. I have to really have to watch my stress level

because I put myself into a tachychardia rhythm in

recovery and they had to sedate me.

I know there are some people on this board that would

disagree with me but for the sake of my health, I need

to put this behind me. I don't have the strength to

do litigation or anything like that. My husband

protected my choices and has seen that my wishes are

carried out to the fullest.

Not everybody has to agree with me, I'm okay with

that. I had to handle this in what is my best

interest. There's no right answer for everyone.

One thing that must be remembered is the Canadian

healthcare system and the way doctors are regulated

are far different from the U.S.

My ordeal (including the in home nursing care) was

complately covered by OHIP. Therefore, it didn't cost

me a cent.

Dede, anytime you need me, I'm here for you. Just

send me an e-mail.

Love ya,

Traci

Hi Dede,

I'm glad you liked Prowler. He's an amazing cat.

I'm very tired today and have muscle pain. I'm okay

with that because that means I'm on the road to

recovery.

How are you doing?

Lova always,

Lynn, This is really frustrating about your Dr... I hope that you will get to the bottom of this. It is sooooo frustrating! Terrible that you should have to experiment because they don't know what is really going on. I have been emailing with the Naturopathic Dr I found here and she said that she will do a full saliva and blood panel for all female hormones as well as thyroid and adrenals. I'm curious about what all these tests will show. It will be nice to have one Dr reviewing the results, rather than 3 that don't communicate. (I tried to look at my TSH last time I was at the GP and I though it said <0.78, but I'm not sure if I was reading properly).. I really hope you get some answers soon! Please let me know how your sister is doing after her surgery tomorrow. Katy:)Lynn <spinkscl@...>

wrote: Dede, Doctor took more blood. Another thyroid panel. I doubt it will show much of a difference. I didn't take my synthroid today because I didn't want to be up all night again. He told me to start up

again tomorrow. I will but I am only taking 1/2 a pill. I asked about 1/2 a pill and he said to take a full pill. I think I'll work my way up to a full pill. I know my body better than he does. He sort of said something that made me mad... you could tell he was frustrated that he hasn't been able to "cure" or "level me out" yet and got to looking at my records and said something to the effect that I have been been hypo. Well no shit! I have Hashimotos and not hypothyroidism yet (errr)... I may have to fire ANOTHER doctor. Plus, the assistants at his office DO NOT know how to properly draw blood. I used to be a medical assistant and I did phelbotomy all the time. They stab me and dig around. I am sorry but drawing blood should not hurt. I will let you know what the results are. I am also going to search for a new doctor. Love, Lynn Re: Girls, I have been in the hospital.........but home and a... Hello Lynn ~ Thank you. I feel better today, my chest isnt as sore from the blows to it. I am just so tired, but

Hi Katy,

I agree with you about 1 doctor vs. 3!! It gets so frustrating with so many doctors because each of them have a different theory and they usually don't agree. I am so happy you found 1 doctor. Sounds like the perfect doctor too! Your TSH is at a good level!! I hope it stays that way.

I sure will let you all know about Gail. She is super positive about this and says she is ready to feel better and heal. I feel like I am more nervous than her - - I guess I need to take on her attitude.

I have to start looking in to a new doctor. You know, I didn't take my synthryoid today and I actually feel better tonight! No thyroiditis - YET! Usually I have pain every night. I wonder if my Hashimotos is turning itself around now due to the explant. I can only pray and hope. I will let you know what my thyroid panel shows.

Hugs, Lynn

Dede, Do you think your neighbor would have heard you if you hadn't been out mowing? . . . Maybe you need to work out an emergency alert system . . . or carry a cell phone so you can reacy 911. Hopefully the meds can stabilize your heart so it can do some healing and not have to work so hard. I would have love to have seen you at the hospital! . . . Love, Rogene

I went to bed but couldn't sleep - probably slept too late this a.m. . . So I'm catching up on email while I drink my Sleepy Time tea! . . . I have well over a thousand digital pictures to edit . . . That's about all I've done today. Rogene

Read "How Doctors Think" . . . . In general, they decide what's wrong in the first 90 seconds, then spend the rest of the visit trying to verify it to themselves. . . . You must be prepared if you expect attention! It takes effort to break through the shell they carry around with them. Rogene Lynn <spinkscl@...> wrote: Lea, you are so sweet.

Rogene ~

No one would have heard me if I had been inside. I am scared to move once I start getting the voltage. I was very fortunate that my neighbor was inside her garage when I was yelling. I didnt have much yell in me either, I was pretty weakened. 830 volts is alot and to get that many shocks 830 V each, kicks your butt ! It takes a bit for you to get your senses back ! The ems guys want me to go to their station and visit them, I guess with my heart like it is, they feel they will get to know me pretty good. They are only about 2 miles from me, if that. Since I will be on bedrest for at least the next 3 months, I wont be doing any more yard work, or even walking more than in my house....... I am not to go from hot to cold or cold to hot either. Very fragile my heart is right now ! So I will handle myself with kid gloves so I can get these toxic dump bags out, and get well ! ! I guess when I get better and am allowed to do things like mow, I will wear a fanny pack with water and my home phone in it.....I think I can dial up 911 after the shocks, I dont know if I could remember a whole numbe right after. It takes a bit to get your resources back after almost 5000 volts...LOL

Do ya think it killed all bugs inside me? Wouldnt that be kewl....

Have you gotten rested up, and detoxed from your trip yet?

I am so glad you had a fun trip, but so glad you are back !

Wow, Rogene that is alot of pics ! ! I was awake at 2 am as well. This new heart medicine can give you wild dreams. That it has ! ! It is very strange.....I remember one dream from sunday night, It was a sex dream, with a friend of mine, but old enough to be my kid ! and I dont think of him in that manner....... hum.........then last night was another sex dream........what is with this?? but it was a rape dream. Scarey as hell and I was scared to go back to sleep. The guy was as big as a sumo wrestler, he was all sweaty, and wearing these shorts that were all wet and nasty, and I had to fight him off. It was so vivid it seemed so real. I took my bp and it was 149/74...... so a dream actually scared me that much ! ! I hope I never have one of those again ! !

I hope you got to sleep in this morning ! Love you ! ! DedeGet a sneak peek of the all-new AOL.com.

Katy ~

Good, I am glad you will be getting the records. Sometimes doctors have an attitude and think only they have intelligence. Just be firm in you wanting copies, and tell them it is your way of learning and being proactive in your health. I have found that having my records has saved me on many occasions, as well as given me things to look up and learn about, and in turn be able to have a list of questions.

I hope you are feeling better ! Hugs and Prayers and lots of hope ! ! DedeGet a sneak peek of the all-new AOL.com.

The only way I knew my serum TSH was 7.09 was because I asked the nurse for a copy of my labs while at the hospital.......no doc told me a thing ! ! If it were anyone else, they would never know ! ! Sad, huh???

Dede, I asked for copies of everything at my last appt and the Dr looked at me like I was crazy. He printed out my basic blood panel and that was it. I didn't realize until I was leaving. I will ask my regular Dr when I see her at the end of the month. She was away on holiday so I had to do a follow up w her colleague.

Thank you, you are so sweet ! How are you feeling?

The hospital didnt say much, bedrest for 3 weeks, then

see the doc again, then bedrest for 2 more months.

When my heart gets stable, and stays stable for a couple

months, then I can have surgery.

Did you see your doctor this week? I hope they can

help your symptoms, I know how icky they can make you feel.

Oh sweet Dede:

I wish that you could find someone to stay with you until you have your implants removed. We all worry about you because this should not have happened to you. I had a lady here who ended up in ICU because she had such a bad rupture and it had spread to her back. She was in hospital for one month, and would you believe that she called me because she wanted saline breast implants...this is so stupid.

Honey, I wish that someone could help you....sending tons of love...Lea and Superman

Traci,

I think putting this behind you is one of the healthiest things you

can do. I did that. I did not litigate and didn't allow myself to

stay angry at my plastic surgeon or anyone else involved. Anger

kills. It's just not healthy. I wanted my life back, as I had 4

kids and a husband who needed me.

I know that there are some women who do litigate and I admire them

for their tenacity and bravery to do so.

I think that life is too short and we all need to be able to move

forward and move on. We learn how to take care of our bodies and in

the end, we are better people for going through this trial!

I hope you are healing well!
