Guest guest Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 OMG Lynda,You are going through your own tough time here. I'm so sorry. You are such a trooper and an inspiration.

My ears are giving me problems with the hyperbarics, so we are putting tubes in them, hopefully next Wed. The RSD has spread the the place in my chest where I had nerve damage, hopefully the hyperbarics will cure that as well as the original injury. My foot is ok, sometimes very painful. I have missed 6 days of treatment twice, so basically cannot say if it is working properly. Once it was because my ears blocked, once because the clinic had to close to fix the heat in the building. So, in another month, I hope to be able to say it is working well. I hope I can figure out how to get the $$ for the treatment. I will have to borrow it very soon, as it is not covered by insurance and very expensive. Other than that, I am so busy running back and forth 120 miles a day during the week, I am so behind on everything else I figure it will be months before I catch up.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Thanks for the update Lynda, I've been wondering how you were doing. I know you'll be thrilled when this is over! I have an appointment with an ENT next week . . . It's time I did something with this ear. Changing elevations has brought it to that point. I suspect I'll have to get a tube in my ear too.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Rogene, I read that you were having ear problems. I did not have any problems with changing elevations, but the hyperbaric chamber is doing a number on my right ear. They both have excessive pressure that does not go away. Allergies. Hope your ear tube helps. I plan on having them taken out when I am finished with treatment. Say a little prayer that the hyperbaric chamber helps my RSD.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Traci, Thanks for the update! . . . How long has it been since you had your explant? Cancer certainly is something you don't want to worry about! . . .Thank God you don't have that! The infection certainly is persistent! . . . Have they cultured it and tested the various antibiotics to see which ones have an effect on the specific kind of bacteria you have? . . . We'll keep praying for you! . . . Those horses are waiting!

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Traci, It troubles me that your doctor didn't do this long ago! He may have a wonderful bedside manner, but staph infections aren't his speciality! I can only suspect that he didn't want another doctor getting wind of what's been going on. I hope that's not the case! Hugs and prayers, Rogene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Hi Rogene,I figure what's in the past stays there. I have to think this way because my implanting PS told me there was nothing wrong to begin with. My surgeon has also involved the Chief of Surgery for Women's College Hospital in my case so this is good.I'll keep you posted.Hugs,Tracisaxony01 <saxony01@...> wrote: Traci, It troubles me that your doctor didn't do this long ago!

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Oh Traci, You sure are having a battle with this infection! Good grief, it just needs to go away! I'm glad everything else turned out okay, but I will pray for healing. If you can just get that stupid infection to go away, you can get better. It sounds like they need some big guns about now. I did hear from Brigitte recently. She wrote a long letter....she has some very significant battles of her own that she is going through. I need to respond to her....and I know she would love to hear from you. She could really use all the friends she can find right now. Will you write her? Take care of yourself! And get better!
