Re: Loose skin support sleeves..?Judie & Lisbeth

Judie,

I still have pain on eating and drinking, & thus far, still have

uncontrollable BMs..Nothing so far has stopped them.. but I've got new

questions to ask my MD's nurse on monday. They (the BMs)don't make me

feel sick, they just piss me OFF <G>. On the bright side, a friend of

mine (Also a nurse) has suggested an alternative job that she feels I

could handle even with my troubles.. and I'm so ready to get back to

work, it really appeals. I don't want to quit my current job, but I

think she's right.. until I get over this crud, better to take a much

less stressful job and be able to work than sit home because you can't

handle the job you have.

And the hair.. I was teasing about shaving my head.. but the idea of

an extremely short cut really appeals right now, especially with all

the shedding I'm doing. My hubby just prefers me with long hair,

that's why he said wig.. I hate to cut it, because it took forever to

grow back last time.. but I'm really tired of hair everywhere. I

think my loss started because the docs had me on clear liquids for

most of 2 weeks, trying to get these runs under control(heh.. thanks,

doc =P ).

And the TT- I'm not worried about it not being covered.. but the skin

there is much less droopy and loose, so I'm hoping with a little help,

it'll keep on tightening up. TRUST me, if its droopy, I WILL find a

way to get a TT, insurance or no!!!

Hey Lisbeth- Glad I'm keeping you giggling! lol.. if we don't laugh,

what's left? It just feels better to laugh about it, yanno?

Hugs,

Liane

I love a good laugh.....all of life should be full of laughter! Isnt

laughter the best medicine in the world??

I agree with the hair......if its short you can manage it better and the

amount falling out seems to be alot less. You can always grow it back or

wear a long wig just for hubby! <grin>

I sure hope your BM problems go away very soon, Liane! I really think they

will too! Just hang in there and that idea for working at home sound very

good indeed.....gets your mind off of the bad things for awhile.

Hugs, Judie

I agree I have spent a life time hearing that I would make one hell of a stand

up comic. I believe you're born you live you love you live and when you are gone

you live through the people you loved. Ok you live a lot longer after the DS LOL

I loved the wedding pics Liane I think you looked beautiful! A week after

surgery I went to the beauty parlor and said short layers please. My beautician

always one to please did as instructed. My hair is very short. Unfortunately for

the last several years I have been losing my hair and I know that as my time

approaches that 4-8month time span when people lose hair I will be online crying

about my soon to be cue bald head! *sigh* Thank god for

wigs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL
