Guest guest Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 I also have been wondering about her but I haven't seen anything posted about her either. I don't know if I mentioned it previously but I will be having a colon biopsy done a week from today. dolores Barbara Seaman wheatchild@...> wrote:Has anyone heard an update on how Alison is doing after her surgery a week ago?

Guest guest Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 I just got home from the doctor and I go tuesday for another echo and I made another visit to the " vampire " suite (ha). Does unexplainable " total body " swelling go along with Mito? I am swollen from under my eyes to the tips of my big toes. A pair of slacks that fit me fine when I wore them last Friday to a church luncheon (they didn't have a full elastic waist just in the back and a side zipper) would not go around me Sunday when I started to put them on to wear to Church and Sunday School. The only other time I have EVER had a problem like this was when I was pregnant with my oldest son and I developed toxemia, he was born six weeks early I know I'm confused and I'm confident that the doctor is??

Guest guest Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 Thank you, Malissa. I was concerned that the silence was not good news. At least she is home. I'm glad to know that much.

Guest guest Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 Bless you! I guess I learned between the time I was 27 and 34 it was better to laugh than cry. They found ovarian cancer at 27 and the rest is history, between lumpectomies, biopsies, and mastectomies I was ready to throw in the towel at one point, and strange but to me true my Great-Uncle who had been a Nazarene Minister refused to allow me to go across that bridge where he was and where everything was so beautiful. The doctors told my husband to call any family that would want to see me and when my Aunts and Uncles got to Topeka from Nebraska I was awake and recognized every last one of them, mainly I just wanted all the tubes out of me and OUT of ICU. I can remember my husband waving his hand at Bill to not come in, I even told him what Bill was wearing and that my Dad was standing in the doorway with Bill. They were trying to tell my husband that I was gone for a minute or so and I guess that was when I either was dreaming or there is really such a thing as what I have always believed was a " near-death experience " . Back to the real world of today where Earth is catching up with Mars and by August 27th to the naked eye Mars will look as large as the full moon. My son said that no one alive today has ever seen anything like this before and no one alive today will ever see this astronomical event again as the next possible time this could happen again would be in 2287. On yes,have you ever heard of unexplainable all over swelling being a part of this Mito thing? Take care and God Bless, Dolores Barbara Seaman wheatchild@...> wrote: Love your humor, Dolores.

Guest guest Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 Time before last when I was in there she put me on lasix and potassium both three times a week and now she is increasing both of them to one daily. Previously, she tried to blame it on my kidneys but my urologist blew that idea out of the water this week. A couple of weks ago she said she wasn't sure if my breathing problems were from my heart or my lungs?? Of course there isn't much she can figure in 15 minutes and that is what Cotton-O'Neil allots their physicians per patient for $94.00 to $135.00 per visit?? My current neurologist had his resignation made out the first time Administration called him up and on the carpet for taking too much time with his patients, so the next time he dated the paperwork handed it to them and walked out. He now has his own practice and can devote all the time he wants to his patients. That is part of the reason I went from 2001 until this January with a mis-diagnosis of Parkinsons. I attempted to mention to her today that it appeared to me that I have a nodule of some kind (perhaps a swollen gland) in the right side of my neck/throat and she looked at her watch and said, " you won't die from that until next time, I'll look at it then " . Oh well, maybe this trip to the " vampire suite " will show something? Thanks for the ideas and keep the prayers coming, I can really use any extra anyone has laying around as I just can't get down sick, I have made such tremendous strides since they got all those Parkinsons meds out of my system. Two weeks ago I was running a low grade fever and wasn't up to going to a church luncheon on friday or church on sunday but have been having problems with swelling in my legs and feet for sometime to the point that the veins are starting to break and shatter. My Pastor's wife just remarked Sunday how great I am getting around and I do so want it to stay that way. Again, thanks!

I never heard of that being connected to Mito, but who knows, lots of things happen with Mito. Might it be that you changed laundry detergents, took a different brand of vitamins, changed bath soap, etc...Did you happen to take anything for a cold, sinus's, etc... Are you taking laxis? And if so does your doctor have you on Potassium with it? Sounds like your body is having a reaction to something. Sure hope this helps. Can't think of anything else. And my prayers are with you as you go for your biopsy. Are you sure you aren't pregnant again!!!
