Guest guest Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 It's about 2 football fields Sheena but I didn't measure it scientifically. Only a rough guess. I'm looking for a walking partner if you are interested. ;-) Sheena wrote: Sounds good, how far is that? (Many of us are in the U.S.) I need to get walking again myself!

My brother took this picture approx 4 hours after surgery. They operated at 8am Tuesday,finished approx 12pm, extubated me at 7pm. I stayed in ICU until 12.30pm Wednesday when I was transferred to the post surgery ward. Stayed there until Sunday 2pm when I was discharged. I would have made it home a couple of days earlier only I had a episode of Atrial Fibrillation (200 beats per minute for 7 hours) My liver performed exceptionally well throughout my ordeal. It must still love me even after the way I have treated it. Thank you for your prayers. Danny elizabethnv1 wrote: Welcome to the group , I will be keeping you in my prayers for your surgery . Please let us know how it goes ? Allot of doctors get tunnel vision when they treat someone with hep c . They tend to think all our problems arise from the hep and so they miss important elements when they care for us . ----- Original Message ----- From: DT To: undisclosed-recipients: Sent: Tuesday, August 14, 2007 11:03 PM Subject: An introduction Hello everyone. I'm a newbie too although I'm sure that I was here a few years ago. I didn't think that I would be posting this soon as I was scheduled for a triple coronary artery by-pass operation yesterday. I made it as far as the operating table. All hooked up 5 minutes from the anaesthetic when they cancelled due to an emergency case. They could have operated on me but there wasn't another Intensive Care bed available. All open heart ops go to ICU for 24 to 48 hours post op here. I am 53 years old. I live in Canberra Australia and have been HCV pos since 1982 or so. I am genotype 1a - 1b. In 2004 I endured 48 weeks of treatment but unfortunately the virus returned 3 months post treatment. I contracted hepatitis when I had a blood transfusion whilst undergoing renal dialysis in the Royal Newcastle Hospital.Of course then I was diagnosed with non A - non B hepatitis. I found out it was HCV about 12 years ago after a life insurance examination. My LFT's have always been pretty good and it hasn't really affected my life too much but I do think it has contributed to my cardiac problems. For the last 4 years the doctors have been treating me for suspected ulcer and gall bladder pain and I think the fact I was HCV pos made this a easy diagnosis. During this time I have had colonoscopys, gastroscopys, ultra scans of everything in my abdomen (all normal) unbelievable amounts of anti gastric type medications but no heart type investigations which didn't bother me because I believed I had a strong heart although I have become increasingly tired and weak which I attributed to my HCV and age..I now know that I do not have ulcers or gall bladder problems. I didn't get to have a ECG until 6 days after I suffered a heart attack. I had been in agony for 16 days but the doctors kept telling me that it was gastrointestinal pain and that they were doing all that they could I didn't even realise that I had suffered the heart attack until after the ECG. I was admitted to the coronary care unit had a angiogram and told that I had 3 blocked arteries all too blocked for stents. Anyway now I am re booked for Thursday the 23rd of August for the bypass so good luck to me for then. Danny No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 Well, it's me Tommy, again. I am married to Danny and we went to the dr., which was $300.00, last week who ordered a bunch of testing to be done. He went to do the liver ultrasound, which we are awaiting the results. Waiting is the hard part, right? That was only $175.00. He went to bloodwork and that turned out to be $2000.00, discounted for cash pay. Really, that's a freaking discount!!! Needless to say, we didn't get any done, because we don't have the money. I am still trying for medicaid. We live in Texas. This is our last resort. If this falls through, I just don't know of anything else to do. We were told treatment would be around $5000.00 if he requires it.I feel like laying down and hopeing a big truck runs me over, but I won't. I have to stay strong for him. It's sad when we live in the good old U.S.A. and have to decide if we want to feed our family or scrounge up enough to save for treatment for a medical disease. Then, who's to say the treatment will even work. Luckily he hasn't been feeling too bad. His joints have been hurting, but he works so much, that's always been an issue. He has contemplated marijuana, but is that really safe? If it helps his appetite and helps him feel better, we're up for anything at this point. Well, I didn't mean to rant on. It's just nice to know I'm not the only one going through this alone. Sincerely, Mrs. Tommy C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
