Guest guest Posted August 28, 2002 Report Share Posted August 28, 2002 Lynn, I know that you are in a lot of pain daily and that you are very worried about further surgery. I'm so sorry about that. Tell to about your pain in detail. He should know about the impact on your life the pain has made. Tell him about the worry - the psychological side of all of this is not insignificant. Tell him, too, that you had to drop out of school. As him to imagine not being able to eat. If there is to be more surgery, ask him what you can do before then to stop the pain. I hope he's got some good ideas. I'll be thinking of you, especially tomorrow. PS. Don't worry about and me. I bid her farewell on Sunday, and we are both OK. Thanks so much for your thoughts on children leaving the nest. I know you know all about that. It's probably hardest on me at the moment, but I know you're right and that it's a necessary and good change for both of us. Small potatoes compared to what you are dealing with, but thank you!

Guest guest Posted August 28, 2002 Report Share Posted August 28, 2002 Hi Lynn, I'm so sorry you've had to take the term off school. I'm in college too, and I took the spring term off when I was first diagnosed. It wasn't hard to pick up where I left off, and I think under the circumstances you made the right decision. I hope things go well tomorrow at the Dr. Love and hugs, Carol Re: [ ] Good luck tomorrow, Me Mom !

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2002 Report Share Posted August 29, 2002 Hi , Well it is surgery again, I can't believe it. This surgery is called a Gastro Jejunostomy. It is almost as complicated as the Whipple. I could learn much about it, so it is the inner net for information. I go into the hospital on September 26 and surgery is the next day. I am so upset, I don't know what to do. Lynn (MeMom) wrote: > Lynn, I know that you are in a lot of pain daily and that you are very > worried about further surgery. I'm so sorry about that.

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2002 Report Share Posted August 29, 2002 Hi Carol, Thank you for your note. I wish things could have gone better but I will have to have more surgery. It is frustrating and scary. Lynn (MeMom) Carol wrote: > Hi Lynn, > > I'm so sorry you've had to take the term off school.
