Guest guest Posted March 11, 2000 Report Share Posted March 11, 2000 Fawn, I remember the intense feelings of both sadness and anger after my miscarrage, and the worry about ever being able to have another baby. You WILL get to the other side of these feelings, as unlikely as that may feel now. Four months afterwards I was pregnant with , now 13 mos. old. A close friend had three miscarriages in a row, then finally was prescribed progesterone and that worked for her. She has had two more healthy pregnancies, both with taking progesterone, and no more miscarriages. You might ask your ob about this. I will be thinking of you and I know that you will end up with a beautiful baby before too long. Margaret Avoid pushing too hard. Your children are full of spirit and will find their way. Their true parent resides within them; you are only a reflection. --Vimala McClure, The Tao of Motherhood mailto:potterkim@... ---------- > From: Fawnf12@... > To: breastfeedingonelist > Subject: update > Date: Saturday, March 11, 2000 3:08 AM > > From: Fawnf12@... > > Hello everyone.

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2001 Report Share Posted March 17, 2001 Anita, I am sorry things seem to be going slowly for you with extra time and tests thrown in. That was like me with the tube. I have quite a bit of scarring where the tube was and where it leaked. Those scars are permanent for me. My problem was stomach acid leaking out around the insertion of the tube. You will get there, honest. It is just a slow healing for you, but soon you will progress in the food stages. The TV is not good for the mood as there are too many food commercials. Take care. I will be thinking of you. Keep us posted. It is fine to write in when you are down or up. It helps you and maybe someone else within the group has been there and can sympathize. I am feeling for you. Sally Update > Hi guys, > Haven't posted in awhile though I've communicated with several of you > privately. I've been very down.

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2001 Report Share Posted March 17, 2001 Hi Anita: Glad to see you decided to write your thoughts and feelings about what is going on. I hope it made you feel better. You did not mention the test you gave yourself with the blue colored CIB. Does that mean you didn't see it? I really feel for you and everything you are going through. Please remember I am here anytime should you need to talk with a friend. Post-op 3/1/01 Dr. Thayer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 18, 2001 Report Share Posted March 18, 2001 Anita: Sorry you are going through such a difficult time right now. But, things usually work out and I will hope that happens VERY soon for you. Once you get past this and are able to eat real foods, get back to work and, in general, get your life back, you will start to feel much better, I am sure. Meanwhile, hang in there and keep us posted about your progress. Lois Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 18, 2001 Report Share Posted March 18, 2001 You go girl! YOU are the patient, and tell them like it is babe! Good luck! Dawn Re: Update Thanks guys for your words of comfort. I posted to the larger OSSG because I know that most of you guys have not had lap or a drain tube so I thought I'd see if anyone had a similar experience to me in the larger group. I got a number of responses and one in particular was very helpful. I get so frustrated because I don't believe the physician's asst at the doctor's office has given me completely accurate info. She told me for example that the liquid in my tube should return to a cherry juice color if it were normal - that's not accurate. Also, I asked her to analyze the liquid in my tube and she said it wasn't necessary. As it turns out though, that is one sure fire way for them to determine if I have a leak or not. When I go back on Wed. I'm going to be insistent that they take a culture of that fluid. Going through that upper GI is the pits and it's possible that it won't even show the leak (as it didn't on the one I had last Wed.). If they culture the liquid they can see if I have a leak and or an infection of some kind. Much more accurate and much easier for me. Also I've got to believe that looking at fluid under the microscope is far less expensive than an upper GI. Sometimes I get so annoyed with the medical establishment. I hope I'll be tough enough to stand my ground on Wed. Thanks again for listening. Anita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2001 Report Share Posted April 17, 2001 Cheryl, I’m sorry you can’t make it to the meeting. I was wondering how things were going with you. I hope the new school works out and that Cassandra continues to improve.

My daughter is doing a little better... she started a new school thru Edco Collaborative.. It is BRAND new only her and 2 other kids around the same age. She goes 8:15 to 2:15 and eventually will be on same ciriculum (sp) as she was. she really need to grabs some credits so she can move up with her class to sophomore. Emotionally this is very important. She had her 15th birthday yesterday.. It was a very emotional day to say the least.. I have been eating candy like like crazy.. yes it does make me sick sometimes but it seems I am soo stressed I do it anyway. I function on very little sleep because cassandra's worst times seem to be at 1:00 am or so. I don't think I have gained.. maybe a pound or 2.. my scale still says 115 lbs. no matter what.. gotta love it. I will chat again later! Cheryl Toleration is the greatest gift of the mind.
