Guest guest Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 Gayla, that is a great idea! When I had my surgery a few years back, I lost MASSIVE amounts of blood. A 2 hour surgery turned into a 5-6 hour ordeal. I am constantly on edge about the blood I was given, and am tested every 6 months, just to be sure. > > Suzi, I don't know if it a good idea or not, but think about donating a pint of your own blood in case you need it. > Gayla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 Believe it or not it is needed more for back surgeries than neck, but it is never a bad idea to have insurance. Don’t worry Suzi, I have a feeling this surgery will be much easier for you than your ear surgeries.

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 I did that before my back and neck surgery. I only needed it for my lumbar spine surgery though. I lost massive amounts of blood. But not so much with my neck. I still think it's a good idea just to be on the safe side. That's why I did it.

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 Oh Suzi, that really sucks!!! but actually if it is Shingles the castor oil pack should bring out the rash. I agree it is probably not shingles. Remind me again just where and what side this pain is??? Sorry have been forgetting my Ginko lately, can't seem to remember where I put it.

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 Suzi, every time I get that pain in my side (under the breast, right where my bra hits), it’s a physical manifestation of anxiety. I Reiki it and chant my ho’oponopono chants and it disappears. (Anger manifests in my lower back and amorphous negative emotion manifests as night sweats in my lower back.) Not saying that’s your problem, but you do know that anything physical is created/exacerbated by mental stuff… Sharyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are there with you, but wish one or some of us was closer by to help out in whatever way we could even if meant holding your hand. I'm sure the chiro would want to be very careful with your condition and maybe he would take a break from seeing you so early after the surgery. Can you call him for his wisdom perhaps? So now you have to wait till Fri. Yikes. I wonder if there is a curezone group that also has dealt with what you are experiencing now...after the surgery....... I am going to post link for a special kind of bed my friend is using and feeling so much better in health. Her hubby is using it too. The cost is $2,000--sounds like a lot but maybe insurance covers that too. http://www.nugabestusa.com/ Above is link but wanted to get the link to others so will start new post.

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Today's Daily Word - Tuesday, February 20, 2007 Let Go, Let God God is bringing forth the new me who is emerging now. God is the answer to every challenge in life. Whether a decision I am to make seems to be of greater or lesser importance, letting go and letting God is the surest way for me to make the right choice. As I let go and let God be God in my life, I am declaring that I am not alone in making any decision or in taking any action. The very wisdom that created the universe is my guide. All that God is and all that God is capable of doing is here for me in every moment. In letting go and letting God, I am releasing the thought that anything from the past can hold me back from living fully in the present. I let go of a belief in limitation and let God show me the unlimited potential that is within me. God is bringing forth the new me who is emerging now. “He trusts in God; let God deliver him now.”— 27:43 May the warm winds of Heaven Blow softly upon your home, May the Great Spirit Bless all who enter there May your moccasins Make happy tracks In many snows May the rainbow Always touch your shoulder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Hey Suzi - Take care of yourself!!! Did they tell you which area of your body shingles usually happens in? It'll be localized often times and in an arm to start. Usually following one Dermatome I believe but again - i'm no doctor. It may be shingles, but i do love that they say that - instead of it being something to do with your body going through a traumatic surgery! Frustrating to say the least I'ms ure. The chiro for sure can use an activator etc...and can just leave your neck alone completely...may be worth putting a call into him(chiro) just to ASK what he thinks. I know my DC will return calls and speak to people personally with questions like that. Has the quality of pain changed? area or location changed? does ANYTHING help the pain? Castor oil, ice etc? Do keep us posted, and in the meantime I'm Thinking of you!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Oh - and re: shingles - they will most likely just give pain meds as it is viral. but maybe some antiviral action might help currentlY? just a thought. > > Hey Suzi - > > Take care of yourself!!!

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 LOL! Give him a big kiss from Auntie Janet, which ought to make him really blush hehehe. Alyssa came down with a high fever today (104). It is spelled diarrhea. It is good you got IV fluids in him , kids can go down way too fast without them.

Janet From: health [mailto:health ] On Behalf Of deuteronomy2929 Sent: Tuesday, March 06, 2007 3:27 AM health Subject: update Thank you everyone for your prayers and positive energy regarding ! We went to Urgent Care yesterday. They wouldn't see him until we paid over $100.00 up front. And it took over an hour of waiting, with him wailing most of that time. They examined him and said it could be a precursor to an accute Appendix. So they gave him fluids via IV (another $250.00 and $32.00 an hour). They then said that we should keep an eye on him over the next few days. Big help there. He is doing better, though. Hardly any vomiting now, and very little diareah (I still don't know for sure how to spell that). The cramps are much less, and he actually slept most of the night, is still sleeping now. Thank you all for your well-wishes! I honestly believe that they do make a very real difference in a very real way. I told him that all of you were thinking of him, and he kind of blushed and turned away with a big grin on his face. I'll keep you posted. Peace, love, laughter Santa Claus has the right idea.

We have a type A influenza making the rounds here in Oregon. She is doing a little better today. The boys are over the fever but coughing up lungs left and right.

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Hello everyone: I just had to share this with all of you. I don't remember if I told y'all or not, but we have a daughter that is 24. She's got a toddler and her husband is in Iraq right now. Anyway, she has permanent back injuries, which consists of a couple of bulging discs and herniated discs, then a tear in the muscles near her spine which causes a worse problem, i.e., makes the other worse. She's been having those shots. I guess they're cortisone or something and has had all kinds of tests done. Some of the tests are painful and the shots are painful. She's recently had her last shot and been told she has degenerative disc disease. If she has to have surgery, which is the last thing left now to do, the outcome of it is not expected to really do her any good at all. She's in constant pain with all this and is on several kinds of medicines, one of which is Celebrex. So we saw her Sunday. She lives in another town about two hours away from us. We had ordered another thing of magnesium malate to try her on some of it. This is already good news. She started taking it late Sunday afternoon when she got home. And for the first time in 6 months on Monday night, she slept all night through. Usually her back wakes her up several times and she can't sleep. She's been suffering from not enough sleep lately, which can be a serious problem. But she didn't wake up one time. The alarm woke her up early so she could get up and do her exercises for her back before getting ready for work. She thought, shoot, I'm staying in bed and getting a little extra rest. I know this doesn't sound like a big thing, but it's surely an improvement. And now she's going to add one more magnesium at noontime. I told her to. But it is starting to help her now and the more she gets in her, I'm hoping that it will gradually help heal her back. I guess it could do that maybe in time, or at least make her life more bearable. Then, and this is weird, but it must be because of the mg malate. My husband has had itchy skin problems his whole lifetime. He scratches and scratches and has always done this. Sometimes getting water on him even irritates him and makes him itch. We're working on our second week of mg now, and all this has totally and completely stopped, no more itching at all unless he gets a bite. His skin feels like a baby's skin. Well, I didn't think about this stuff would help our skin. Or maybe it's making some other enzyme that the magnesium is making it work in him that his causing this, but it's helping my skin too and not only that. He said last night that when he goes outside and works in the hot sun, no more BO. No more body odor at all. So there must be something in it doing that too. Well, I'm thinking that years ago before my GB problems started and if I had known about this stuff, I would still have my GB today. I bet that I've been deficient most of my life. Just had to share. I know it's not about GB, but everything is connected, basically. Susie ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Strange, but also encouraging. Since I started having minor GB attacks again in the past several weeks, I started my Magnesium Malic again and noticed that it helps, however, I've been very itchy lately (literaly). I'm thinking what I might be able to attribute it to... maybe, allegies. Maybe dry skin. Maybe certain foods. Maybe just the present state of my GB. I did consider the Magnesium Malic formula tablets too. Wouldn't be surprized if it was because certain medications seem to have the reverse affect on me. I've been itching at night and different times of day. I changed shampoos yesterday to see if that would make a difference.

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 Hi Suzy, Our son's eyes were not even right after his surgery either. But within a few months they were. At his one year post-op check we compared the pictures at our doctor and he was amazed at home much better he looked a year later. He is now a little over 2 years post-op (he has silicone slings) and he still doesn't close his eyes when he sleeps. We have a lubricating ointment we put in his eyes every night right after we read books (he says the ointment makes his vision blurry so he likes to do it right before he goes to sleep). When you tell him to close his eyes he simply rolls his eyes back where all you see is white. Yes, it takes some getting used to but honestly we don't think about it at all now. I'm sure your doctor mentioned it, but after his surgery our son became very bothered by bright lights. He always wears sunglasses when he plays outside. Other than that he is doing great and we really don't notice anything at all. I'm glad Lili is doing well.

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 Hi Glad to hear everything went well. Holly could not close her eyes for the first week after surgery but can now close her eyes when she sleeps. Sometimes you may see a little slit of eye but generally she can close them all the way.
