Guest guest Posted July 26, 2001 Report Share Posted July 26, 2001 Sharon So glad you are all home safe and sound. What a place for your husband to have an accident. Sorry to hear he hurt his shoulder again. If there is anything I can do to help you let me know! I am just a phone call away. Take care and get some rest!

Guest guest Posted July 26, 2001 Report Share Posted July 26, 2001 Sharon, Hope you were able to get hubby into see the dr. I know how important is to have him up and going! Please let me know what you found out! Hope you get the rest you need too! Thank the Lord no flare!!! I know shut up or someone will hear!LOL So glad that you didn't get the virus from that email either. It was really weird cause I went to the group and it wasn't there. I don't know how it came cause I deleted and don't want it back!LOL My sister was scheduled for surgery this week but she is so bad that the dr. wants to have another dr. help him in the procedure. He said he doesn't see why her legs haven't fallen off. The circulation is so bad it is not a laughing matter. Now they are worried about disturbing the plaque in the veins and it going into her one good kidney. It doesn't look good for her that is for sure. Please keep her in your prays. Surgery has been postpone until the first week in August. I will let you know. I am glad you are back! Oh Yah how is baby Logan and Mom doing? Oh I will shut up for now. Take care and know I think of you often. Lots of Love Glenda Re: Sharon --- Glenda wrote:> Sharon> So glad you are all home safe and sound. What a> place for your husband to have an accident.

He did make it through work yesterday so that was encouraging. Couldn't afford to miss another day. He has no paid sick days, no flex time off, no personal days off, no paid funeral days,,,nothing! So, losing this time will have a big hit on us. YIKES! Please do keep me informed about your sister. That sounds very serious. Is she having the surgery here, or does she have to go to Portland? I will definitely be praying for her, and for you. I know how it is when your sister is hurting in any way. Baby Logan and my daughter are both fine. The stress test last week still indicates no problems. She has another one on Monday. The doctor is probably going to induce her around the 15th or so-if she makes it that long. Thanks for asking. Take care and have a great weekend! Love, Sharon > DISCLAIMER!! > WE ARE NOT MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS, THEREFORE ANY > INFORMATION THAT IS RECEIVED HERE IS FROM EXPERIENCE > ONLY.

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2001 Report Share Posted July 27, 2001 Sharon, Oh I hope all works out for you! I was on 150mg of Imuran too until the RP settled down. Now I take 100 mg a day I will be send good thoughts and prayers your way that you will eventually get to go off the nasty old pred!

It's just that I was doing so well (or thought I was) on the 200 mg that he had me on. My ears were the best they had been in over 18 months. So, it is sorta' scary to have to cut back down to the 150. Oh well, just as long as I can get the pred tapered! Thanks for the thoughts and prayers. We need 'em! How is life treating you over there on the other side of the river?

Guest guest Posted July 28, 2001 Report Share Posted July 28, 2001 Sharon Life on this side of the river is doing okay!LOL Our grandson went home to his mother which was probably a big mistake. It is just the 3 of us again except for our nephew who is staying with us. He isn't here much so it is almost like our normal home again. 150mg of Imuran should be more than enough for your system. Hopefully it will get all under control and then you will be able to go down even more. Once they get your system so it doesn't fight itself you almost feel normal again. This morning it is cloudy over here. At first they were forecasting rain and now just cloudy with a slight chance of showers. Darn it anyway I was hoping for rain.LOL Oh well at least this will make it cooler maybe. Did you ever ask Dr. H. about the other patient that he has? Maybe you could tell Dr. H. about the support group and give him the addy to give to the person who lives on the coast. When I had Dr. H. he said that whoever it was, having a time with controlling their RP. Just a thought!!! Maybe we could help them through some of it at the group. Well I will shut up for now!LOL Take care and keep getting better!

I would have preferred rain also, but at least it is cool and the clouds are beautiful. Maybe we'll get our rain tomorrow. Yes, I need to give Dr. H this address to this group so that he can pass it on. I'll try and remember to do that next time I go in. Apparently he is doing great on the Remicade now. The reason that he upped the azathioprine for me was that I was still flaring on 150 mg. Two hundred stopped the flares, but the trade off wasn't so great. I am just going to hope for the best and go ahead with my scheduled pred cut tomorrow. I have his permission to adjust my dose, so if I flare, it will have to go back up temporarily. With all this stress I've been under, and NO flare, I take that as a really great sign! Take care and enjoy your quiet house? Quiet probably isn't a very apt description with a 6 year old around. Our grandson and his dad are backpacking this weekend, so it is quiet here. At least for today and part of tomorrow. Take care and enjoy the rest of the weekend.

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2001 Report Share Posted August 9, 2001 Hi Sharon, Now I will dream of 5 pound bags of sugar sitting on me all night. lol Thanks I need to laugh to not cry. I appreciate your kind words of encouragement. I hope I clot quick. lol I don't know if I wanna be awake or not. But I would kind of like to watch it on the screen. If they will let me have my glasses, the note already said no contacts. lol Thank you so much! love ya LU Hi Lu, Sharon here. I had that exact thing done in Sept. 1999. The procedure itself was entirely painless. I had thought I wanted to be semi-awake, but when it came time I asked them to get me as out of it as possible. "cluck, cluck" I did rouse maybe twice during the procedure, but it was all very fuzzy, and no pain. When they were finished they woke me up, took me back to my room. I did have local pain where they put the tube in my femoral artery, but mainly because I wouldn't stop bleeding. (Have to give the nurses extra work) You have to lie perfectly still after the procedure and that was painful, but the cardiologist gave me fentanyl and that helped my back. That was what hurt the worst,,,just from lying in one position. They finally had to get a 5 or 10 lb. bag of sugar (I forget which) and lay it on the wound to make it stop bleeding. No, I wasn't on any medication at the time that would cause bleeding. The pain from the procedure was not bad at all. By day two or three it was pretty much completely gone. And NO pain during the procedure. I will certainly be praying for you tonight and in the days to come. Keep us informed, please.

How are you feeling today? Did you stay awake and watch the screen during the procedure? If so, you are much braver than I. Take care of yourself and let us know what they are going to do about treatment for the vasculitis.
