Guest guest Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 Cindy, You'll be in my thoughts and prayers. I know a surgery like this must be very difficult... esp. on the heels on others. Hope everything goes well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 Dear Cindy H., Good luck with your surgery on Thursday, I'll be thinking of you and prayers are of course sent your way my friend! Oh Lordy I do indeed hope the block works! There is no need for you to suffer more than you already have. If it doesn't work tell the anesthesiologist. Hugs and Love, S. surgery Thursday, & Na and Cl are both real low -again! > Hi all- > I'm having surgery (right basilar thumb reconstruction) this Thursday and actually glad I am. (can't believe I'm saying that!) The left thumb had it done 12 months ago. > If any of you have a chance, I really would appreciate prayers and thoughts.... > It tires me out having a 3rd surgery in this short of time. > And knowing it's a block again....ouch! (If he wants a block, I'd better be out for that, 'cause last time I wasn't--oh my gosh PAIN!) -shoulder kept subluxing; and he kept loosing my pulse because of thoracic outlet syndrome.) > > This afternoon the lab called with results from this mornings blood work. The sodium and chloride are low *again*. It must be lower than any other time, because he's having me hold the indapamide AND eat more salt and drink less fluids until the lab work is done again in two weeks. Usually it's just the latter that needs to be done. > I don't care that much for salty foods-so I don't look forward to this.... > I haven't even noticed anything different. > At least I know about it before surgery! > > CindyH > Wisc. > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you still have it, do you know the specific type? TOS is a group of related problems all lumped together under one name. Depending on the cause, I know a few things that are helpful for it.

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 Best of luck Cindy. Gosh I sure hope the pain is controlled this time! We'll be here waiting to know how this went. Cindylouwho surgery Thursday, & Na and Cl are both real low -again! Hi all- I'm having surgery (right basilar thumb reconstruction) this Thursday and actually glad I am. (can't believe I'm saying that!) The left thumb had it done 12 months ago. If any of you have a chance, I really would appreciate prayers and thoughts.... It tires me out having a 3rd surgery in this short of time. And knowing it's a block again....ouch! (If he wants a block, I'd better be out for that, 'cause last time I wasn't--oh my gosh PAIN!) -shoulder kept subluxing; and he kept loosing my pulse because of thoracic outlet syndrome.) This afternoon the lab called with results from this mornings blood work. The sodium and chloride are low *again*. It must be lower than any other time, because he's having me hold the indapamide AND eat more salt and drink less fluids until the lab work is done again in two weeks. Usually it's just the latter that needs to be done. I don't care that much for salty foods-so I don't look forward to this.... I haven't even noticed anything different. At least I know about it before surgery! CindyH Wisc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 Mike, Thankfully I no longer have pain from TOS (thoracic outlet syndrome). The " only " thing I have is no pulse when my arms are raised out my side to 45 degrees or more. -so I don't raise my arms. I do move them around so my shoulders don't get stiff, but never keep them there for any length of time. I've never been told what type, only that I have it. CindyH Wisc.

Mike, I'm beginning a notebook of sorts, on some of the techniques and alterternative therapies that you and others have informed us of, so if you wouldn't mind posting it, I'd sure appreciate it!

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 Cindylouwho, I can use all the encouragement there is....I'm more than ready to have it-but still I get a teeny tiny bit apprehensive.
