Re: Amy surgery Monday

[Guest guest]

Hi Amy

Sorry to hear you are having surgery on Monday!!

I had thyroid surgery last December and they removed the tumour and half my

thyroid.

The tumour was stopping my thyroid from doing all of it's job and so they

started me on synthroid even before the surgery. It made a difference. I was

able to loose some weight and keep it off. ( unfortunately I'm still good and

chunky........just not as much ) It also helped with the energy level.

Anyway, good luck with the surgery on Monday and know that you will be in my

prayers.

Let us know how you are when your feeling up to it.

Saw PT today.. What a waste of time...VENT

Well I went to see the PT today, and she says my fibro will get better by

exercising, eventually.. Of course my back will never get better the fibro

will.. With exercise alone.. WOW I am amazed.. BS! And I told her so as well

.. I of course, left there and sat in my car and just cried... She wants me

to keep an activity journal for 2 days, in detail what I do from the time I

wake up...Then in a week I go back and she will give me " little " things to

do and it will be a very slow process, probably a year before I can actually

" work out " ..

I got NO massage, no " therapy " at all and it doesn't sound like I will get

any of that.. So I paid a co-pay of 15.00 for WHAT??? And then again next

week. I will NOT do this weekly you can bet your butt on that..

Tomorrow I am looking for a new Dr, and I am going to email the pain

specialist and tell him his anti-inflammatory' s are for the birds and I am

going to go to every Dr at group health until I find one who will LISTEN and

HELP me! I am so angry and in so much pain and I am just supposed to sit

here and suffer?? Medical in the US is horrible!

I changed the sheets on my bed, and I now my back it OUT.. ( DJD).. She of

course said the DJD wont get better but the fibro will.. HAHAHA..Either way,

I am in severe pain and I am sick of this.. I am ready to jump off a bridge!

And my husband, OMG he is an a******, says its cus I am fat and lazy, and

many many other really cruel things.

Thanks for listening..
