Guest guest Posted January 16, 2001 Report Share Posted January 16, 2001 Pam, That's a really good question. I don't think they actually " filled in " the area, I think it was sewn shut with stiches. From what I remember of the lab pictures, and the diagram the surgeon drew, the area was sewn shut - but I'll try to remember to ask at my next apointment. maria Re: HSG today > maria > I am sorry your HSG was so painful.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2001 Report Share Posted January 16, 2001 Pam, He's going to have a hard time understanding. According to my dh, men are not good with handling venting. They think they have to fix ALL our problems, or they're a failure (atleast that's how feels). I have to constantly remind him that I'm venting, and I just need him to listen. I think with the ep it's a lot different. He probably wants to cry and be upset also, but is afraid to. still hasn't cried, or acted upset infront of me! According to my friends he was a wreck during the surgery and cried to everyone on the phone. He's just so relieved that I'm okay, I don't think he can handle being emotionally upset about the ep. Tonight he told me that receiving so many emails is a waste of my time (regardless of the fact that it's not his decision to make!). Last night we had our weekly counselling session. Normally we're a great couple and are very loving. Well, last night, the counselor said that she felt that I couldn't stand ; and that he was doing whatever he could to try to please me. I wanted to jump over the table and strangle her!!! I told that he hasn't a clue what our relationship is like, and would have said more if hadn't stopped. Luckily I stayed calm (which is rare for me), but I know next week I have a few things to air which should be interesting. Losing this baby has been very hard for your dh. You both need to just ignore each other's negative reactions and focus on the positive. He doesn't understand the maternal loss and the raging hormones - and he never will. It will get better, unfortunately it usually gets worse first. Let's pray that this is the worst. Just keep talking to him. It's not a bad idea to write him a letter; either leave it somewhere for him, or email it to him. Just give him time to read and digest it when you're not around. Considering most men don't think about their personal life at work (which is completely foreign to me!), he'll need atleast 8-10 hours before he sees you - and then, don't mention the letter at all!!! If you leave him alone, he'll bring it up when he's ready. With it could take up to 3 days, but it usually yields positive results. I'll be praying for you! {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}}}}}}}} maria maria > maria > > My dh can't understand what I am going through. He has told me so. > When I get upset he just gets angry.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2001 Report Share Posted January 17, 2001 Pam, Sometimes I want to strangle mine, but the rest of the time he's really great. If you think about it: when in your relationship have you been this emotional (all at the same time), the poor guy is probably worried beyond belief! maria Re: Pam > > > The fixing thing is exactly what he does.

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2001 Report Share Posted February 5, 2001 HI Pam, I think that chicken pox is contagious before the breakout when the child is running the fever BEFORE the spots even show up. I think you are probably safe, at least I hope so. Take care, Vicki giguerepw@... wrote: > > > > I was just thinking this morning only 4 more days. I still can't get > the shingles thing off my mind.

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2001 Report Share Posted February 5, 2001 Even though we are on different meds it sounds the same. There are two viles one with water and one with powder. Each is one amp. I just took 1 cc of water which is one whole vile. Injected it into the powder. Mixed it a bit. Then put it back in the syringe then put it in the next powder etc.. You have to use all three amps of powder but not all three amps of water. I think it will be a lot more painful if you do to much water. I hope I am making sense.

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2001 Report Share Posted February 6, 2001 Pam, Are you off all day Thursday? Mayber you can go to the movies or shopping or something (anything) to keep your mind off the test until the results come back. I can't believe how calm you are, I would have done daily hpt's by now!!!! So you only did 2 amps of stims daily? I guess they think I need a little (a lot) more. As long as it works I don't care what they give me. I don't know how I'm going to handle the daily visits. A friend of mine said the same thing to me on Saturday. She used the same doctor and lives only a few minutes from us. She said the daily drives were horrible. That's really going to play havoc on our office schedule; but it makes sense, they need to know what's going on. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you. Lots of ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: baby dust!!!! maria maria > maria > > These last two weeks have seemed like forever. So you are on 6 amps? > Wow!! I stim very easy.

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2002 Report Share Posted June 1, 2002 I am sorry, I live in California and cannot help with the doctor situation but I think it is terrible that they would tell her to wait 6 months!!! This disease is serious and 6 months could make a huge difference. She should get a second opinion right away. I will say a prayer for her.

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2002 Report Share Posted June 4, 2002 Thank you. I think its terrible to wait 6 months too especially since she's been trying to get a diagnosis since 1999. First the drs thought she had Epstein-Barr, then Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, then Sleep Apnea (she even had surgery), and now possibly mito. myopathy. All of her tests come back slightly abnormal but not definitive. I've learned a lot about how little medical science really knows from watching what she's gone through. Its a little scary.

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2003 Report Share Posted May 7, 2003 Pam, I can't say I know how you feel exactly because I haven't been in your shoes but I can tell you that somewhere within you you will find the strength to make the decisions that need to be made and to get through this ordeal. I have 2 daughters with a genetic disorder that has caused them both to have seizures and there have been times when I've felt so frustrated and scared that I thought I couldn't handle it and then, just somehow, I did. Eventually, as my child recovered and smiled and seemed happy I knew I'd make it. And so will you. Don't tackle it all at once or let the entire situation overwhelm you. Deal with the most pressing issue then move on to the next. The big picture is too much to look at sometimes. Lots of prayers are the best advice I can give. I don't know if you're a religious person but if you turn something over to God through prayer you have to trust him and try to let it rest with him. My prayers are with you and your family. I live in Kansas, 2 blocks from where the Tornados took families entire homes away with mine being untouched. I look around at my family with all of our problems and am just thankful we are all safe. Those kind of moments always put things in perspective. God Bless, in KS mom to Karley, 9, Allyson 12 both with Tuberous Sclerosis and Nick, 10.
