Guest guest Posted June 6, 2000 Report Share Posted June 6, 2000 Yes, you need one clinic usually a day or two before your surgery. It is all in the handbook. It might be a good idea if you read that too. Sleep? Why should sleep be a problem. Yes the first couple of nights I didn't sleep but others say they have. Any more questions? *grin* a Gwen DeWitt wrote: > > Hello Everybody, > I have a question for those of you who are out of town and have already had your dance with DrR. If you live out of Durham or out of State, do you still have to meet with DrR at clinic before you can have the surgery done? I am working on my packet and got to that one and am not sure if I need to be planning a trip to Durham before I can submit my packet to the Dr. If anybody can help me with this, I would appreciate it. > One more question, how does one sleep or do anything else for that matter once they start this?

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2000 Report Share Posted June 6, 2000 LOL Gwen, loved your post. You meet with Dr. R one on one at the Tuesday clinc..the Tues. before your surgery. In my case I met with him on Tues and had surgery on Weds. I did not sleep once I decided to have this surgery. I was obsessed with it and this list and that's all I could talk about!...inbetween really really pigging out that is. I admire those of you with control between investigation and surgery...but as for me...I wanted to leave no cookie unturned, no ice cream unevaluated. I was doing research..food research. I did it well. I gained 9 pounds in the three weeks before surgery. Now if you put the stuff down in front of me that I was eating, I'd probably barf just looking at it. But then I was addicted to food...and nothing, not anything, got in the way of me and my food. If Dr. R told me that I HAD to lose 20 pounds before he'd operate, I don't know what I'd have done. Remember the skit that Jack Benny did? This guy comes out of nowhere and says in a mean voice, " stick em up " and points a gun at Jack Benny...he says to Jack... " Your money or your life? " ...there's a long silence ... " Your money or your life? " ....another long silence...really irrated the robber says " WELL? " and Jack Benny says, " I'm thinking, I'm thinking. " It would kinda be like that for me if Dr. R asked me to lose weight. Only kidding...don't flame me on this. But I did have a very deep and personal relationship with Edy's Vanilla Bean Ice Cream. Seriously, I did obsess and I took the time to meet and " chat " with everyone I could on this list, pre-ops, post-ops and I used the time wisely...I've made some wonderful friendships here. So obsess away..eventually you'll have to fall asleep. Flo from land Have I mentioned I lost 14 pounds in 6 days MGB 5/31/00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2002 Report Share Posted October 22, 2002 I love our doctors and the whole staff at clinic. Whether we go to the local satellite or to Children's Hospital in Denver, the info is great, the exams are thorough, and the attention is outstanding... BUT... I hate clinic. For me, no matter how many good things I get out of the visit, it is a hard smack-in-the-face reminder that we are different. We are a family dealing with a disease. A nasty, despicable, devastating, sneaky disease. So mysterious and insidious that all the doctors and scientists and brainy people and money in the world can't eliminate it. I love the people I've met because of this disease. I love the friendships, the knowledge, the unconditional support. I even like myself more now than before I had a child with cf. BUT... I hate what brought us together. -Lenora -- http://www.lenoradegen.com CYSTIC FIBROSIS AWARENESS WEEK is OCTOBER 13 - 19, 2002! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 22, 2002 Report Share Posted October 22, 2002 How very true. I like our CF clinic alot better than the old one. This new doc is very aggresive with his treatments and takes the time to explain EVERYTHING to us. Although it sucks, I'm glad we have the resources and new meds for them. I couldn't imagine what it was like 10-15 years ago, when parents were told that their babies would only grow up to the age of 16. We have better odds now, and as much as it still sucks, at least we aren't alone and have each other. > >Reply-To: cfparents >To: cfparents >Subject: Re: CLINIC >Date: Tue, 22 Oct 2002 15:51:08 -0600 > >I love our doctors and the whole staff at clinic. >Whether we go to the local satellite or to Children's Hospital in Denver, >the info is great, >the exams are thorough, >and the attention is outstanding... > >BUT... > >I hate clinic. >For me, no matter how many good things I get out of the visit, it is >a hard smack-in-the-face reminder that we are different. >We are a family dealing with a disease. >A nasty, despicable, devastating, sneaky disease. >So mysterious and insidious that all the doctors and scientists and >brainy people and money in the world can't eliminate it. > >I love the people I've met because of this disease. >I love the friendships, the knowledge, the unconditional support. >I even like myself more now than before I had a child with cf. > >BUT... > >I hate what brought us together. > >-Lenora > > >-- >http://www.lenoradegen.com >CYSTIC FIBROSIS AWARENESS WEEK is OCTOBER 13 - 19, 2002! _________________________________________________________________ Unlimited Internet access for only $21.95/month. Try MSN! http://resourcecenter.msn.com/access/plans/2monthsfree.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2002 Report Share Posted November 27, 2002 Joanne, There is a woman in San Diego area that takes people into her home. Don't know if this would work for you. Intended more for cancer patients. Patients usually stay a few days to a week. She gives daily colonics and juices and is very CHEAP. Let me know if you are interested and I will try to find the information, filed somewhere in my office. There is also a place near Martha's Vinyard, another clinic in desert near San Bernardino, CA (this one is more expensive) and another in Southern CA (this was some religous group that was vegetarian I think, but cannot recall for sure). All of these places stress colonics & juicing. Also, the Gerson Center is in Mexico, near the border, but they are very expensive. Another thing for you to try is natural progesterone cream, which can be purchased over the counter. Nothing helped my chemical sensitivities and energy level more than this. Read the book by R. Lee, MD, WHAT YOU DOCTOR MAY NOT TELL YOU ABOUT PREMENOPAUSE. If you want more info, you can email me. Also, I get extreme fatigue from chronic infections (assume caused by mercury affecting my immune system) and take more or less take daily antibiotics - generally just once a day. I cannot function w/o my antibiotics but plan to start chelating ASAP. Low-level infections (in my case, sinus, ear, nose, throat) can cause extreme fatigue. Let me know if you locate the place in Utah. Thanks, Janet McAuley Does anyone here know of a live-in clinic, where you could get mercury care and spend about a month there. Preferably it would not be in a city as I am EMF sensitive. I thought there used to be such a thing in Utah. I know I will not be mercury free in a month but at least I could be put on a good regimine to follow at home. I amexhausted and have ben sick for 16 years. I just really need a break.

It is in San Diego [not a remote location]. It is very nice IMO, and the price is very reasonable. But it is not oriented to mercury detox. As Janet said, it is about colonics and juicing, and stuff like that. best wishes, Moria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
