Guest guest Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 hi, been away for quite a while, been depressed. A lot going on these past 3 months. Had an interstim device implanted (too long to go into-so if you want to know more, you can read up on it under interstim therapy) That was a living nightmare for a while, pain so bad I couldn't lay down or sit up. When they put it in I was only to be awake for the first 15 minutes and then out of it completely the last 45 minutes. I WAS NOT AND FELT EVER BIT OF PAIN THE WHOLE TIME AND THEY DIDN'T BELIEVE THAT I WAS FEELING THE PAIN!!!!!! On the pre-op x-ray they found a 3 cm mass on my upper right lung. After several other tests it is determined and found to be the RA has attacked my soft organs. I hope no one else has had this acure. If by chance someone has maybe they can help me understand all the future tests I will have to go through for the next year or more.?! Then they found 2 small lumps on the side of my mouth that they believe may be benign tumors. I pray they are only saliva ducts that are clogged. My shrink, yes I am not ashamed to say I have 2 shrinks. They felt it nessecary to up my xanax for a few months to help me through all of the changes. But the sadist news for me was having to put my father's dog to sleep. He is too frail to leave the house and Taffy was in so much pain we felt it was time to let her go. So, as you can see i have been stressed and depressed I don't know just how to accept any of this news or what, if anything I may need to know ahead of time. Any suggestions??
