Guest guest Posted October 10, 2003 Report Share Posted October 10, 2003 and Jean, I have read both of your emails and though I am not in IN, I am soon to be 33 and know how hard this disease can be on someone that is that age. Jean, I understand your daughter's depression because I have been through it. I don't have any kids but have lost a fiancée because of this disease. I became totally disabled last year after spending 3 months in the hospital with an attack, several blood infections, pneumonia and double pneumonia. I won disability after applying for it 5 months before but only because I was in the hospital and the doctors and my mom pushed for it to go through. Jean I am sorry that your daughter is going through this and hope that you can get some help for her. , I am glad that you got the date for your surgery with Dr. Sutherland. My doctor's won't even talk about it right now because they don't think I am ready for it and wanted me to try the feeding tube again before they even try any type of surgery. I have the tube in right now and it is working but if I start getting bad again I am going to press for some type of surgery. I go to MUSC here in SC and they are suppose to be start doing the TP-ICT. They just do not have the facilities yet to do it. I will pray for your surgery and you during this time. My prayers are with both you and your families at this time and hope that everything goes well and if you ever want to talk you can always email me. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
