Post-op 3 weeks, still having some buzzing inears(not as much)

[Guest guest]

not at all when standing or stittin. Still having trouble eating heavy

foods,seams to get lodged in intestine., seems to back up. How ever I am

walking one mile a day, leg mucsles are coming back strong. doctor had done

some work on my throat and back of roof of month, said he did'nt know how I was

swallowing, still having a lot of trouble. Sinuses are driving me crazy, is it

because head is still swollen? Would a shunt help. Depression is at all time

high, Maybe because I feel like the best of life is over?? I know I am

lonely, kids to busy to take any real time. Since I have had to come home from

Ga. to Tn. due to illness I have no friends. Just not the same happy, merciful

person I used to be. I am not happy this way? Any one feel this way? Even my

sister does not want me around, even though before this things were ok. Now she

does not want some one not quite right aroound her kids. God did not intend

things to be this way, I was always merciful I was anurses aid. Never cruel to

someone ill or lonely. I am changing, I do not want to be unkind or unhappy.

What is left for>> me to do? Working again seems a million miles away, and know

one wants some who is useless?>>Lost that fire>>Wildfire>I do not want to do

anything>yes I am on antidepressants.Please tell God this is just getting to

heavy>wildfire.

Please give yourself a break here. You are still recovering. I know

everyone is probably getting sick and tired of hearing about this, but I

believe that after this surgery, recovery is a process. It takes a while.

You are not going to get up and jump around and get back to your life right

away. Give your body time to adjust to all that it has been thru. It has

been thru a very traumatic surgery. We are here to help and support you, so

whenever you feel like you need to vent, just post to us or e mail some of us

directly. My e mail address is sheilakurt@....

My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Take Care!!!!

Hang in there!!! I know it's easier said than done but, life can be such a

beautiful thing!! Try not to let your depression & sadness get the best of

you. I'm sure you're a beautiful person that has a lot to offer life and to

the people on this planet. It must be dreadfully lonely feeling as if no one

is available for you. However, there is always someone you can find who'd

surprise you to be a shoulder to lean on. Open you heart to those around you

and perhaps you'll find someone you would never have turned to before this.

You're only 3 weeks post-op and it's still early yet. Hopefully the best is

yet to come and not have already past! I will keep you in my thought &

prayers and remember the world is a beautiful place (even when we feel like

crap).

Love & laughter to you,

Well there is something positive and sounds wonnderful!!!

You mentioned ringing in your ears. When you were discussing surgery,

did the doctor tell you he thought that would be greatly alleviated or

removed? If so, which doctor. I'd like to research that as I have very

severe tinnitus.

Thanks,

Steve
