Guest guest Posted June 1, 2002 Report Share Posted June 1, 2002 Oh Deb, I am so sorry to hear how bad you are feeling. And now this set back with you knee is terrible. I hope you can find some easy answers. Hope you got to the doctor today and he can help you. You are in my prayers. I saw the GI doctor and it seems the way I am now is how I will probably remain. I guess the eating problems will not be going away. I have been having terrible spasms and pain. She tells me this is from the whipple and is the connection between the large intestines and stomach. Probably scar tissue has developed. She knew right were the pain was, without me showing her. This is what the surgeon had mentioned three months ago but no one did anything at that time. She gave me yet another drug to settle the spasms down. If it doesn't improve they will have to do GI test to pin point the scar tissue. She tell me this all comes with the whipple. I am actually relieved that it is the whipple and not some new problem. So all the problems I am having now with the stomach is the whipple. All this is nothing compared to what you are going through. I so wish things were better for you. I go to the physical therapist on Monday to see what they can do. If the truth be known I really only want to get into the warm water. But I will have to mix aquatic and physical therapy. I am looking forward to that pool though. I hope tonight you can sleep and get some rest. Hugs my friend, Lynn (MeMom) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 5, 2002 Report Share Posted July 5, 2002 Hi Debs My back is doing fine so far. Today was a bad day. I couldn't use my hands hardly at all because of the swelling and pain. My sister had a picnic and I went for a while then I came home for rest and meds and then went back. My mother had to fix a plate for me and she hovered, but I was there and enjoyed myself later in the evening. They shot off some fireworks and one went off on the ground and almost got all of us. A couple of the guys got burned but not that bad. We ran into my ex-sister-in-law this morning at Walmart and she said that she was also having a picnic. Wyatt begged me to let him go with them, so I let him. He's spending the night and I will pick him up in the am. It was nice to see good friends and family together again. I had a nice time talking and keeping up on the gossip. I am going to call rheumy in the am for a possible med change. He put me on indomethacin and its not doing a thing for me. I'm still waiting for word on the Prosorba Column. It goes through the blood bank and the local one is short staffed and they don't have a tech that does the treatments. I told them that it would be too hard on me to travel to Pittsburgh. So they are trying to find a closer place for me to go. My insurance has already approved the treatment, but we just have to find a place to get it. Meanwhile I'm flaring a little more each day. The weather has been really hard on me. It has been extremely hot and humid lately. I must be getting old because I used to love this kind of weather. lol. I have been reading the posts, but just haven't been feeling well, physically or mentally. I really appreciate your concern. It makes me feel a little better to know that there is someone out there. Gonna go now. Hands are giving out. Will write more later. Love and Hugs Stacey in PA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
