Guest guest Posted October 4, 2003 Report Share Posted October 4, 2003 Dear Joyce: I have been in this wheelchair since 1998. The doctor says I will still have to use it even after losing weight. I Have a real bad back and the spinal fluid is blocked from going all the way to the bottom of the spinal canal. Every level of my spine is deteriorating and spurring. Since I have lost weight I can stand up longer at a time but still can't walk but a few feet. I am going to make a liar out of him and get out of it at least in the house. I will probably still need it for shopping and other outing out side the house. I too have a bad heart. I have an aorta aneurysm, Irregular heart beat. I had diabetes, and high blood pressure before surgery but have not had to take any medicines in over 6 months. My doctor says my diabetes is cured. I also no longer need acid reflux medicine. Did I tell you that I weighed almost 400 pounds and that My doctor was able to do a lap and I was only in hospital 2 days? I have not been sick at all and even without my medical problems I came through with flying colors. Six days after surgery I drove to Walmart which is about 20 miles from here and a week and half after surgery I could not even tell I had surgery. I have faith that you will do well also. Remember to stay positive and do not let negative thoughts take over, just push the negative thoughts out of your mind and DO NOT dwell on them. God will take care of you. Good luck!!!!! A. B.
