Little of this, little of that

August 23, 2006

I just wanted to welcome everyone new to the group from a newbie

herself. I'm still awed by the support I get. =) Though I don't

write often I read the daily digest email (almost) every day and

gleam lots of info.

I find it very helpful to know there are others out there going

through the same as me. I also am suffering and newly diagnosed with

OA, Fibro and carpal tunnel at the tender age of 38 and its a witch

(with a b if no one minds!). And I also have IBS (most do),

hidradentist supporativa (blood infection for life), and horrible

psoriasis. I too feel like a mac truck has run me over every day and

wish and pray for some relief so for every one of you out there

feeling like this, just remember I'm right by your side.

Thank you so much for sending the poems and what it means to have

Fibro. I've posted them on my fridge. Maybe my refluctant to

understand family will gleam some needed information and

understanding.

I'm excited to say I've met some great friends on this board, thank

you so much for taking the time to look me up ( you know who you are

<smile>).

On another note, for those who've asked for me to keep you updated,

my husband had his appt. yesterday with the new doc. The 6mm stone

is lodged in his left kidney causing infection. It's been in there

entirely too long and this new doc. literally said the other doc. was

an " idiot " for not stressing the importance to have it surgically

removed as he only had a 5% chance of passing it 2 months ago and he

has a 0% chance now. They are calling my husband today to schedule

the surgery for either the end of this week or early next week.

Depending on exactly where it is lodged will depend on how invasive

the surgery will be as this is a uric stone. Thanks for keeping

Rick in your thoughts and prayers all.
