Guest guest Posted April 12, 2004 Report Share Posted April 12, 2004 Hi everyone, Yes it is me, I haven't fallen off the edge of the earth honest! I am so sorry it has taken me so long to reply to you but I've been having terrible issues with my computer. I think the poor recalcitrant machine politely decided it was bad form to appear healthier than one's owner! Many thanks to Bonnie for passing on my little message - cheers Darl :-) I wanted to thank everyone for you support, kindness and understanding during my bleeding problems. They do scare me a lot and I can't tell you how much being able to turn to my extended family helps me to get through my fears. Your wonderful advice and warm words of encouragement and support make more difference to me that I can ever explain. Thank you so much. I've had a few more bleeds, the worst being from behind my left knee. TJ, that photograph you posted is almost a carbon copy of how my legs look right now! If I can get my computer and camera to start talking the same language again any time soon I'll post a picture too. Thank you for your words and thoughts Darl, they mean an awful lot to me especially with all you are going through right now. To the questions about cause and management, well when I saw Prof Bird he seemed to think it is a vascular element of my EDS/Marfan issue. He intends investigating and assessing it properly when I am admitted down at his hospital for my full assessment stay, but due to my upcoming shoulder surgery and splint/recovery time that may not be until July or August at best now. I'm just hoping that these bleeding problems don't cause complications for my lovely shoulder surgeon in the meantime, I intend having a good talk with him about it and I'm sure the team will keep close tabs on keeping me heamodynamically stable. I can't remember whether I mentioned about my shoulder operation date - yikes my memory is getting as dodgy as the rest me! Anyway, I go into hospital on the 28th April and have a left shoulder reconstruction the following day for my multi directional instability issues. I'm not sure how long I'll be in hospital as the surgeon isn't sure exactly what he will have to do yet - but I will get back on here or at least get a message on as soon as is physically possible. I'm planning on getting some voice recognition software so that I can still " type " during my 2 months plus splinted time...so sorry guys, you don't get rid of me that easily! Hee-hee. Thank you again for everything you do to keep this little Munchkin from teetering over the edge of insanity. I can't thank you enough and hope you know that I am thinking of you and here for you all too. Love and hugs.....Jo xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sure hope they can find something out when you go into the hospital! Can anyone let us know how you're doing once the surgery is done??? You will be in my thoughts and prayers, dear lady! Please take good care of YOU! You are important to us! Much love, Lana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
