Guest guest Posted December 4, 2003 Report Share Posted December 4, 2003 CJ, I understand those calls. You tell the same story over and over. It becomes hard to heal when you keep reliving the pain over. It has been a year since my son¡Çs death and it seems like yesterday I was telling our story to friends. You are going to have good and bad days. It is normal and it is o.k. to cry out loud. You are never going to fully recover after a loss like ours. You will smile again but that will take sometime. I am so sorry that you had a very bad day. However I am happy that you found this group. We can give the strength, support and info. you need. We live close to each other and if you are ever in my area maybe we can meet in person or talk on the phone. It helps to talk to someone who has been through it all. Just let me know. I am on MBR/SBR so I am home all the time. We could set up a weekly calling if you need one. Take care of your self. God bless, Taryn Bad day Ladies, Thanks so much for the information regarding the doctors in FL. My husband and I feel as if we have renewed hope now. I would have posted yesterday to thank everyone but I had a VERY BAD day. I am working from home right now and thought I'd try to get back into the swing of things with work and school, but every call that I took was from someone asking me how the babies were doing. I then had to go through explaining what happened and basically reliving it all over again. Then to make matters worse, I got a call from the hospital asking me what I wanted to " do " with the twins. I thought to myself what I'd like to " do " is have them placed back in my belly and have a normal pregnancy like a normal person, but of course I didn't say that. I had my husband call back to make arrangements. I've realized that although I'm getting better physically the emotional pain is still very raw. I really do thank all of you ladies for letting me vent and giving me hope. CJ 3/92--angel due to IC 4/03--blighted ovum 11/20/03--twin b/g angels due to IC Your use of Yahoo!

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 Hey Stace: Like you I am six days post-op and have had similar problems eating the soft foods. I am just banded and not wired so that helps to a certain degree. The biggest problem I have is swelling. My lower lip feels like 10 times it's normal size and I have a big red " splotch " on my neck from the swelling moving down my body. Oh well, hang in there and good luck. kev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 Stacey, I'm sorry you're having a bad day and can totally relate to the feeling! You've been going through this for nearly a week now and it's bound to get you down after awhile. Swallowing isn't the easiest, but it will get better, and the clicking probably will too. Like my mom told me, this is something that just has to be endured. Just make sure you're getting plenty of nutritious liquids so you can keep your energy up, despite the difficulty swallowing. The first week is the hardest! Hang in there, Beth > Hi everyone, > 6 days post op now . had a bit of a bad day today. > feeling rather down and keep wantin to cry but it hurts so bad.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 Stacey - I am so sorry you had a bad day. I had trouble swallowing the first few days because the tubes they put down my throat irritated me. This, too, shall pass. And I know the anesthesia and drugs they pump into you in the hospital can have a depressing effect - don't worry - it's normal and also will pass. Just keep eating and taking your medication. Know that the worst part is just about over. I started feeling better about 6-or 7-days later... then I quickly got over the hump. And remember, like someone else said - you're not going through it alone.

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2004 Report Share Posted March 18, 2004 HI Stacey The clicking you describe is ok, the jaws are sort of settling down after surgery. I couldn't eat much at all for a few weeks, try Esure, if you can stomach it, I could only drink raspberry, caramel and strawberry. Have whole fat milkshakes blended with bananas/strawberries and drink through a straw. Things will improve take your time and don't worry about what you look like drinking/eating its like regressing back to being a baby for a whole with straws and lots of slurping. You'll get there. > > > Hi everyone, > > > 6 days post op now . had a bit of a bad day today. > > > feeling rather down and keep wantin to cry but it hurts so bad. > Tried > > > havin some mash potato but it ended up going everywhere but my > mouth. > > > It also hurt really bad to try and swallow so in the end i just > gave > > > up.

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2004 Report Share Posted August 18, 2004 Don't give up. I had lesions on my skin for years that was diagnosed as everything from hives to ring worm and was treated as such. It wasn't until I went to a dermatologist and had a biopsy that my diagnosis of Lupus was made. Hang in there. There is help out there.
