Guest guest Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 Krista good luck at your appointment today! Re: Having a Really bad day- Any advice is appreciated! Cherie- I think it is good that you are going home. Your body is notready for you to be back at work yet, and it sounds like it stillneeds a lot more healing. I hope you are able to take this week offtoo. Good luck with your 50 minute commute home (I have a 50 minutecommute too,) and your dentist appointment. Then, go home and get somesleep. Just take as much time as you need, the job will still be therewhen you are ready.I am seeing Dr. Huang this afternoon, I'm not looking forward to thedrive into downtown. But, I'll be okay.

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 Hey Krista, I just talked to my boss, she is letting me work from home tomorrow. I am going to come in a bit on Wednesday, we're having a birthday lunch for one of the employee's and we're going to the Cheesecake Factory at the Arden Faire Mall....can't miss that! I'm off for the rest of the week so that's a good thing. Hopefully I will be up to being back to work full time in a week. I have a really great boss and she's been so supportive, so I am very blessed to have this wonderful lady in my life. Not sure if a male boss would have worked in this situation. Good luck on your appt! Keep me posted girlfriend, I want to know how you and Steph are doing.....we must take care of each other! Love ya!

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 Krista, You have a good attitude. Sounds like you know his withdrawal is a sign of his fear and you know that he loves you. When they love us so much they just wish they could fix us. They don't like feeling powerless either.

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 PH, Let us know when you are in town. I would love to meet for lunch. I am sure we could find something healthy in Denver or Boulder. I love Keystone! How fun. I have met Lynda and : ) Lynn Re: Having a Really bad day- Any advice is appreciated! Krista, Try not to worry about having children. You're young and when you start feeling well enough, you can talk w/ a member, P, who completely recovered and has had two more healthy children. It can happen...you just have to be diligent in practicing health.I think my symptoms were actually worse than yours pre-explant. I became so confused that I went out to my car with the oven mit on and tried to drive with it!! Post explant, I lost vision in my left eye, which thank God, has returned. My symptoms became worse after explant and I was pretty messed up...I think it's from the heavy duty anesthesia and antibiotics.I still have occasional brain fog and occasional blurry vision but I have moments of clarity so I know I just need to get these toxins out and I'll be fine. My most troubling symptom today was fatigue but I've had a busy week.My family goes out to Keystone every summer. I'll have to visit you and Lynn on my way out. have you two met? I live in St. Louis. I have family in Boulder so the next time I'm out there the three of us will have to meet up!!

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 I'll definitely let you know, Lynn. It'd be fun for sure. My boys love Keystone, especially River Run Village. It's our annual family trip with my husband's sisters and their kids...20 of us in all. We all pile in our cars and caravan out there. So beautiful up in the mountains! It's great that you've met Lynda and . If they're out there too I'd love to meet them. I don't know where everyone lives. We should have a reunion for all of us in 5 years when we're all completely healthy! - PH > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Hey Everyone- So, I think this probably the worst day > I've > > > had > > > > > since > > > > > > > > explant.

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 Yeah- Doesn't live in Colorado too? The next time PH is in Colorado, we'll all have to get together, and whoever else can. The mountains would be a beautiful spot for a get-together/reunion for us, and Colorado is pretty centralized and easy to get to from other states.

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 Krista, LOL, I've already been kidded about that by others here on the forum! I didn't sign in as perfecthealth to be completely anonymous but more so that I knew I wanted perfect health and felt if I was going to be typing it several times a day, I wanted something positive. I had signed in on an anemia health forum and celiac one and just thought I'd use the same username. At the same time, I thought by joining this forum I'd write a couple messages and realize that it wasn't my implants making me sick after all...at least that's what I had hoped. But I guess it hasn't been all that bad as I've had wonderful support and met wonderful women!!!

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 Oh, okay. You are north north of Denver. I know someone else that lives in Greeley. I'm barely north of Denver (Denver metro.) Just a hop, skip and a jump from downtown. Takes me about 20 minutes to get to downtown from my home (without a ton of traffic, of course.) My hubby and I both work right downtown and take the bus everyday. ~Krista > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Hey Everyone- So, I think this probably the > >worst day > > > > > >I've > > > > > > > > had > > > > > > > > > > since > > > > > > > > > > > > > explant.

It can be difficult trying to figure out what everything is Lynn Re: Having a Really bad day- Any advice is appreciated! Thanks Lynn, I went by there today and grabbed some stuff that I needed.

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 Hi Steph,How is your fatigue doing these days? Mine's ridiculous. So what I've done is I take lots of cat naps throughout the day with my cat.From what I've been able to figure is recovering my explant and implant illness simply takes a long time. We'll get there.Love & hugs,Tracistephie0580 <stephie0580@...> wrote: I know but the fatigue is really hard to deal with.

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 Hi Traci, My fatigue is getting better but I've noticed that my eye lids have been getting swollen. I have a follow up with my naturopath tomorrow so I'm going to mention it to him. I am so ready to feel better I wish it would happen soon. Gizmo keeps me company at night when my husband is at work So besides the fatigue how are you feeling?
