Dennis, sorry you are having so much pain from your surgery. What kind

of surgery did you have? Did it have anything to do with your anemia?

, that's exactly what I said, I hope. Now I fould wish to have Ra in the

joints instead of the pain I'm suffering from the surgery! I just thought I

hurt from the RA. I cannot sit for any length of time, can't bend,squat, or

bend over. I need stronger pain pills, I guess. Maybe I can wrangle some

from the surgeon tomorrow when I see him.

, that's exactly what I said, I hope. Now I fould wish to have Ra in the

joints instead of the pain I'm suffering from the surgery! I just thought I

hurt from the RA. I cannot sit for any length of time, can't bend,squat, or

bend over. I need stronger pain pills, I guess. Maybe I can wrangle some

from the surgeon tomorrow when I see him.

Mike- My e-mail may not have come through. My rheumatologist and dentist said RA

can and does effect jaws. It can effect any joint in the body. I have one

little joint in my ribs that even flares.

Sue, the operation was the result of tests for my anemia. We didn't know

what it was caused by except that my red blood count was really low. During

the colonoscopy last March, they found one hemorrhoid, but didn't feel that

it was the cause. The surgeon found 4 of them during the surgery, one of

which was internal and external. He thought that's the one causing most of

the problem. I hope he's right. It doesn't seem that something that simple

would do it, but he removed 3, and will wait and see what happens. At least

there are no ulcers he could find.

I had a bad experience during the hospital stay. I went in at 5:30 AM, got

through recovery, and moved into my room at 10:30 AM. Shortly after that, a

nurse came in to see what kind of food I wanted for lunch, and said they

would order it. Lunch is from 11:45 to 12:30. At 2:30, I still didn't have

any food! This was the same problem I had in my stay last month. Everybody

was apologizing but I still had no food since the evening before. I was

scheduled to stay through Friday evening but I decided I didn't need the

added headache that was a chronic problem since I had the same experience on

another floor with different people. I left Thursday night and came home

where I could get the attention I needed. I plan to complain to the hospital

administrator about the lousy service, there's no excuse for it. If that

simple problem couldn't be solved, how bad can the rest of my stay be?
