I'm back on

[Guest guest]

Hi Marta and Everyone,

I have felt absolutely crazy!!! I mean really, I tried to drown my

picc-line arm...thats pretty crazy....and I have these fits of rage. You

know that depression questionaire...well I scored a 40. I know I'm

depressed and have a psycho-therapist and psychiatrist....who are in

contact with me. So I will be o.k....But this is true HELL!

I had that minor surgery today. That was painful, no one said it was going

to hurt!!! The polyp is out and they sucked - and I truly mean sucked out

parts of the lining of my uterus to do the biopsy...(Nurses terminology

when she was explaining the procedure) - she also said you will experience

cramping during the procedure....it was a little more than cramping...they

kept telling me to breathe so I could endure the pain.....OUCH!!

Fortunately the pain was of a short duration....(How did you mothers out

there have more than one baby?) All will be sent off to the lab, and I

should know in a week.....Of course my gyno. said she didn't expect any

problems....but we will have to wait and see.

Even though my blood work came back normal for my hormone functioning (I'm

not going through perimenopause) she feels the lyme is causing a

malfunctioning with my hormones...causing me to start shedding tissue when

I start ovulating. ...we will try to straighten it out, once we get the

test results back.

Well, I need to go hook up the abx....thanks for your concern...I will make

it through this. My mom came up from Somerville....and drove me

there....thank goodness for moms....she also made me a nice stew....I need

to go back and lay down and put my legs up. Tomorrow will be a long day on

my feet. Thanks again, Connie nwnj

Hi Connie,

So glad this ordeal is over, I was really worried about you. I am so

happy your Mom came up to help you out, yes, Mom's are great, I was crying

for my Mom yesterday (another story, I'll post to the list).

Unfortunately, she cannot come when I need her, as she cares for my Dad who

had a stroke.

Not surprised you got such a high score on the depression test, I hope you

will heed the test's recommendations, and I am glad you are seeking help.

Not a good idea drowning your PICC line, but since I am having so much

trouble with my port, I can identify.

I know I had the surgery done under anesthesia to have my polyp

removed....didn't they knock you out???? I BET it was painful. I did have

the minor (?) cramping in the recovery room, but did not feel too bad when I

got home. I remember the nurse put ice on my abdomen when I complained, and

I was amazed how fast it stopped hurting. I am just so glad all this is

over for you, I hope you stay home from work today if it you have any pain

this morning, if you don't you will sure feel it when you come home and may

have to stay home on Wednesday.

Thanks for writing back so quickly, and letting us know you are OK, there

were lots of prayers for you yesterday, they must have helped you.

Hugs,

Marta
