From: kilikini on 28 Sep 2008 07:41 I could have sent individual replies, I hope it's okay that I don't and just send you all a group one to say thanks for your support. I'm trying to stay positive, but I'm scared "witless". (And, yes, Chip, they do put a patch in for hernia operations and they should have done so in my case when they removed my rectus abdominus muscle. The patch has become standard procedure in TRAM-flap surgeries since 1998 or so. They've found there is less chance of bulging, hernias and "settling" - as Moffitt Cancer Center told me was happening. Settling. I know where I'd like *you* to settle, Dr. <grumble, grumble>) I'm just so livid because they didn't give me an option on how to go about removing the tumors and now the doctors have totally screwed up my life. I have to lift my right leg to get into the car; I can't lay on my back, stomach or right side; I have difficulty getting up from the toilet; I have to crawl on the floor (if I'm sitting on the floor, which I do to clean litterboxes) and pull myself up by the counter. Gosh, the stories I could tell you! I just turned 40 a few months ago; I'm a little young to be a cripple. I always knew I was mentally crippled, but to add this physical part of it in the mix.......it's a bit much. Well, thanks for allowing me to vent. I've been really down lately and my husband doesn't want to hear about it. He thinks it's all in my head and calls me a hypochondriac. Sigh. kili -- ========== Please DELETE this text block when replying! ========== Contact the moderators at: asapm-board(a)stump.algebra.com The charter is available at: http://readystump.algebra.com/~asapm ========= This notice is added to each approved article ==========

Sigh. > > kili Vent anytime Kili I am so sorry for the way your doctors have treated you. You wouldn't be human if you weren't scared after what you've been through and not knowing what will happen next. I don't understand the medical procedures involved but hope you are given full access to information on what your options are medically. I hope there is a way for them to restore some of your mobility to make it easier for you and give you some peace of mind. Take care and keep us updated.

From: Diane on 28 Sep 2008 11:13 Kili, you poor thing! I don't blame you for being scared. I would be. You're not a hypochondriac either. You're in my thoughts and prayers. {{{{{Kili}}}}} Keep us updated when you can.

I'm sorry about your husband. I had a husband devoid of compassion too. I'm scared for you too. Just take it a day at a time and I hope you get some sort of help for this. Sounds like negligence to me. Bad negligence. I identify with feeling crippled, there are still things I cannot do still too. it's very frustrating. I will keep you in my prayers.

And you're still going to make it. Because there's a very strong part of you that isn't crippled. > > Well, thanks for allowing me to vent. I've been really down lately and my > husband doesn't want to hear about it. He thinks it's all in my head and > calls me a hypochondriac. Sigh. I'll bet it hurts him to hear you talk about how you suffer. When someone in a family suffers, everyone suffers.
