Guest guest Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 , so glad to hear you're doing so well and have just a good feeling of well being. That shows you got just what you needed and are good for another 100 years. I have a friend that had a pacemaker and his answer to " how are you? " was always, " good for a guy running on batteries. " Now all you have to do is keep the battery running. Welcome back and we look forward to hearing more from you. Maggie **************A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above.

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 Thank you for letting us know, you are such a ray of sunshine. So glad you are feeling better. Like Maggie I have a friend that has had a pacemaker for years, and she had a few issues getting it adjusted just right, but it has been wonderful for her.

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Thank you Sandy I am very tired and sleepy today I walked in the grocery store with my wife Pat and was pretty pooped when I got to the car. The Dr. said it would take 2 to 4 weeks before I would be back to normal activities. I will have my first tune up in August. Re: Home Thank you for letting us know, you are such a ray of sunshine.

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Thanks , Sorry to hear that your gastro went so bad. I can't believe that they don't have another sedative they could use. On one of my first ones when they didn't give me enough I started to come off the table and they shut it down the next time I made sure the nurse I talked to who became a good friend would give me the correct dose.

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 Thanks . The next time that I have the endoscopy I shall definately have the sedation. There must be other sedation drugs that they use besides Medazolam and I shall tell the specialist when I see him on Monday that I as not offered another choice. Take things easy for now and gradually build up the distance that you can walk over time and before you know it you'll be back to normal. I myself walk about 15 miles a day in short walks with my dog and each time I get discharged from hospital it takes me a while to get used to the exercise again. from the UK ________________________________ From: <albyone23@...> achalasia Sent: Friday, August 14, 2009 8:47:51 PM Subject: RE: Home  Thanks , Sorry to hear that your gastro went so bad.

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 Our appologies for not contributing to this group over the past month or so, but we were having hassles getting out of the USA and ordering products for a safe sail home as air travel was out of the question. We will try to give some feed back in the next week or two if I get ou tax work done. Is anyone in this group based in Australia a sthis is our home and would like to get info on getting better.

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 Hi Helen, Thanks for replying. , my wife, is 55ys old and suffering from ES and is so bad sghe cann't be near a mobile phone which is turned on let alone in talk mode, a TV set, a computer and sat nav systems. We have been in the Usa for a few months and have returned to our home in an 50's village - the proximity of houses has caused her problems and she is living in our caravan where it is stored while I catch-uop on some tax work. We need to get back to a normal life as simple as it may need to be and ask for guidance as to how people in Australia are coping with ES and any info you can give such as your symptoms, how you cope with normal day to day life, and what sort of home do you live in. We look forward to your reply and if there is any info you want from us to assit you we would be happy to oblige, althought our experice is limited as has only had the problem for a few months.
