I'm swimming in the river right with you, Melita!! And I had my hair cut short short last weekend. I have not, will not, cannot look at my hump. In my books that is a Major Suckimoto!

Oh see, I thought that he was not charged with a federal crime. I heard that

since he had been in the military he was eligible for a military funeral with

honors because the crime he had committed was not a federal crime. I may be

way off. He blew up a federal building but I thought is was ruled 'not a

federal crime'.....I am very confused. But I do specifically remember the

news saying that he waived his right to appeal and that was why he was

executed faster.

I remember Polly's killer doing all that. I also remember him saying 'polly

said don't do to me what my daddy did.....' while smirking at her

father.....SICKO. He gave me the creeps for sure.....I just thought he was

already dead...maybe wishful thinking..

I think it's for Pulmonary Fibrosis. I tuned in briefly last night to take a

peek at what the big fuss was about (according to Jim on the other site). Yes,

his face did look very puffy, but hubby told me that's just how I looked when I

was on the higher dose. I pray nobody judges me as harshly as some are judging

Jerry. :o(

Vicki, you poor thing! There is nothing worse than being out shopping or

somewhere when illness strikes. What are " back slides? " The docs really

should get to the bottom of that for you, it sounds terrible.

Sorry your TV was out of stock, what a pain.

Take care,

Zanna's weight scale needs a battery or is getting old. That would

explain the weight loss... I know, that was mean of me but I don't want

her to be thin before me..... LOL Yikes, I can't believe I said that...

I'm sorry Zanna...

ROTFLMBO

I had actually thought something was wrong with my scale too. Today I was 182 (yesterday was 187). I was researching the new prescriptions I am on and celexa is actually used for weight loss. They have replaced the bad 1/2 of phen-fen with celexa but I didn't know that when I started. I am also taking the Vitamin E capsules (fish oil) since about the same time and started the IVIg in September so I am wondering how much these meds have affected the weight loss. Oh, and a daily dose of lasix is probably helping!

Zanna

PS Oh, when do you want to go to Home Town Buffet again??? LOL

5 pounds in a day???? That's just not normal. Hmmmm.....could be the

IVIG maybe?? I don't know if it would be the Celexa, as I've been on it

for 4 years and never had that as a side affect. Drats!!

Vicki,

I strongly, strongly recommend a second opinion. I might even go back to the

original Dr. you worked with (who said it was okay) and let him know what

happened..... I had the same thing happen.... hemorrahaged with accreta, had

retained placenta b/c the placenta was *SO* burrowed into my lining and

hemorrahged during D & C to remove, developed Asherman's so on so forth.....

I am also 13 weeks pregnant.

Saw Dr. Copperman (did surgery). Asked him flat out if he would advise

against doing another pregnancy, and for those that know Dr. C., he is very

direct and upfront with his patients.

His response was a solid 'no' in terms of avoiding future pregnancy i.e.,

okay to go ahead and ttc. He was very clear though that there was a v. good

chance that I would end up with accreta again and this time end up with a

caesarean hysterectomy (c-section delivery and immediate hysterectomy after

delivery to stop bleeding). He went as far as saying if he were still

delivering and following me he would have the 'team' there ready to perform

both procedures (just to be safe).

Current OB has basically followed Dr. C's line of thinking and plans on

scheduling a c-section.

I hope this gives you hope?! A pregnancy after accreta certainly entails

risk, but in today's medicine, my understanding was that this can be

controlled and managed in delivery via c-section and a well prepared team of

physicians.

Please, please get another opinion, as I am terribly bothered by the peri's

response. Their job is to inform you of options and risks to each

decision..not to instill fear. Dont' hesitate to email me with any

questions. Do know that there is a pregnant woman out here, who had accreta,

and was advised that there are safe ways to proceed through such a

pregnancy. Anne
