I'm back!!

[Guest guest]

Anyone want 6 boxes of Piracetam?

I do!!!

[Guest guest]

Yay Carolyn! Glad you're back and you survived! Yay

Nicki! 14 Bricks, that's great. I could never get S & P

to stack more than 6 or 7 before they knock them to

the ground laughing the whole time! It was hard cuz

one of their EI goals was to stack 5 blocks. We could

never get 5 to stay before being demolished! I'm glad

Emma is her sweet self again. I had heard recently

from some other mom's that Piracetam can sometimes

cause " agressive " behavior, and they got their sweet

kids back too once off of it. Just goes to show,

there's no " cookie-cutter " approach to kids is there?

Look forward to hearing from you soon!

I'm Back!!

Hi there all!

Back from playing nurse-maid to my Mum to had hurt her foot so badly she was unable to move! Had to take all 4 kids on my own on a 3 1/2 hour journey and look after them as well as my invalid Mamma!! I am woman - hear me roar!! LOL

Nicki brag - she is doing sooo much better now and is eating and drinking again thank goodness. Today she made a brick tower (bricks are about 2" square). Get this.....she managed to stack 14 bricks. She had to stand for the last ones but was so careful and was so proud when she felt the tower was complete! Dear little thing she is. Emma is doing so much better without the Piracetam! She is more social and just generally happier in herself! SIGH! You can only do you best for your kids or what you think is for the best anyway! Her teachers are thrilled with her too and say she is much more talkative and social! Anyone want 6 boxes of Piracetam? It just doesn't seem to suit her anymore!

Well, I'm glad to be home safe and sound and in my OWN house that I know is safe and for the most part, unbreakable!

OK....I have to go and play "update" now and catch up on my inbox which looks a bit daunting!

Take care everyone!

Hi Everyone --

I'm back from my ablation and the dr. says it went well. Woohoo! He was able to ablate the main path that has been causing the really, really frequent v-tach episodes. With great difficulty, he was able to produce v-tach in one other place, but is was a different rhythm, and not one that has shown up on my ICD monitor at all -- he felt that at least for now, it was not of great concern. They were also able to do my ICD "test" while I was there (I don't remember that part), so that will save me having to go back for yet another procedure. Thank goodness! In any case, I am home and we are trying it without meds! What a great feeling! (My drs. theory is that the right bundle branch block etc. from my TOF made it hard for me to tolerate the beta blockers). He wanted me to spend the night last night, but my wonderful husband convinced him I'd get more sleep at home. I think the Dr. was mainly concerned about me running around after my 5 year old, but she's at Grandma's, so no problem. Plus, if I had any recurrent arrhythmia, my ICD is still right there ready to zap it back ... so he agreed, and I was home by 8p. Hooray!

I must say that I really am grateful for my ICD when I really think about how many times I went into v-tach over the last few weeks ... As much as you can get frustrated at times for the way it complicates our lives, the side benefit is an awfully big one -- LIFE!

A big THANKS to all of you who sent such kind thoughts, prayers and well-wishes my way. It was so great to have such a supportive group of people behind me. I hope everyone is doing well -- glad to be back with all you zappers!

Take care and write soon -- looking forward to hearing how all of YOU are doing!

I am so happy for you, you have given us strength when we are ready for

ablation. I had one but it did not fully take and I will be expecting

another one. Perhaps prayers really do work, I certainly prayed for you. I

hope you have a wonderful life now that it is over with, God Bless You.

[Guest guest]

hi jaunita,,,,

so glad you did well and got good news....

i got some today also.....the cardio and the e.p. have taken all

restrictions off me except using a chain saw....guess i have to buy my

firewood next year.......

he said the icd's look for vibrations, and since the chain saw vibrates

very fast, he is concerned that it would set off the icd....sure dont need

that with a chain saw in my hand,,,,guess that would be the ultimate in

self abuse.........

all i need to do now is figure out how to lose 150 pounds.......

again,,,,good for you,,,,hope you continue with the good luck.....

Thanks, Tom. Yes, we are very pleased and hope that we can get back to "normal" life with an ICD (whatever that is). You have been very encouraging -- thanks for all of your nice e-mails.

Good health to you as well -

Thanks, Phyllis --

I really appreciate your prayers -- If you have an option of doing it again (an ablation) and they think it will help, go for it! The procedure itself is really not so bad -- especially if you keep yourself focused on the end result. Does your ICD go off alot, or are you able to be fairly under control with meds?

Wishes of health for you!

Thanks, Bob --

And congrats. on your good news as well! No restrictions other than chain saws ... that is great! My husband wants to buy HIS firewood, and he doesn't even have an ICD! I'm glad to hear you're doing well. We just started counting calories today ... I tried the Weight Watcher route and did lose a little with it, but the obsession with the "points" made me a little crazy. It does work, though, if you stick to it. They say exercise is a big factor ... and drinking lots of water... anyway, good luck on whatever method of weightloss you decide to try. My cardio rhythm problems are random and not actually affected by weight, but I would like to lose a bit as well -- no sense adding extra heart concerns down the road. Maybe we can encourage each other.

Anyway, congrats again on your great news -- Good for you!

Hi Sue -

Thanks - glad to be back. For most of it I had the drugs that put you kind of in that twilight zone -- still aware, but not completely -- I don't remember the ICD testing at all -- I think they gave me heavier drugs then -- I was aware when they were inducing the v-tach -- they did that quite a number of times -- part of the time I was even conversing with the dr. and the nurses, but it was not really painful or anything -- maybe a bit uncomfortable at times, but really not too bad. In my opinion, it was less difficult than even the ICD implant.

Hope you guys are doing well!

Welcome back, Donna!

You were a bad influence on me and while you were away

I picked up 5 Janis Saffell dvd's and a Self dvd at

Ross last week.

I have definitely gained weight since NYC and my trip

to Fossil. I too need to get back on track, more so

than you, I'm sure. I've gained 10 pounds! Yikes!

I work out enough, but I eat and drink too much. This

has got to stop (see next email).

Anyway Donna, I've missed your posts and can't wait to

see what you think of Turbo Jam!

Hugs

Hi, Girls! I've been absent for awhile - life got very busy. I've been

training the last few years for black belt in karate with my kids. We tested

for 1st degree July 2009, and for 2nd degree this last summer. Our 23 year old

daughter, Caeti got married just a bit over a month ago, and our 17 year old

son, Rex is getting ready to go to prom.

Lots has happened since I was last in touch. I went back into private practice

and work 8:00 am to 12:30 pm every weekday. We've been in an apartment for

awhile during some home renovations, but will be moving back home the end of

this month.

In the last 2 years, I've had 3 surgeries, and entered menopause. That caused

me to regain 30 lbs I had lost. I'm back to the basics, and the best exercise

program for me - Lifelift. I'm hoping to return to our karate classes and

workouts starting in April.

I'm very happy to be back. I've missed visiting with you all and look forward

to the encouragement of being back on board.

Melinda

[Guest guest]

Hi Melinda,

 

It is sooo wonderful to see a post from you.

 

Welcome back.

 

I have complete faith in you. I feel certain you can get back in shape and feel

great very soon.

 

I will be here pulling for you.

 

Be blessed and take good care,

Rashelle
