I will hope and pray that Jim's PSA comes back very very low. I am

sorry your not feeling well. Maybe it is time you went to your GP

about all that congestion. You may have a touch of bronchitis or

something and just need a good decongestant and a antibiotic. Every

time I cought a little something it always seems to irritate my

panc.

I must also admit I thought this surgery would not be as painful as

it is either. They took a lot of muscle from boths sides of my

abdomen to fill inthe defect and apparently they took more then they

had origanally anticipated. They told me it would hurt, but good

gosh this is really rough. Far wose then the total, seriously.

I also have these 2 JP drains hanging from my pelvis. They are about

the size of a lightbulb and are rubber and work by using a mild

suction. Similiar to those nasal suctions used on newborns, except

they dangle from long tubing. You can just imagine what they look

like considering where they are located. I have given them a

nickname, which I am sure you can aslo imagine...LOL They are very

uncomfortable in every sense of the word.

I have been taking it very easy and really just lay around, its the

only comfortable position. I'll be fine in afew weeks, guess I just

dont spring back like I used to.

I hope you feel better soon. Keep me posted on how Jim is doing. Is

he getting about more now? How long will it be before you know the

source of your cp? Whether it be HP or auto immune. Have you had an

ANA test done?

Give my best to Jim and do try to get to your doctor soon. It will

be summer break soon and I am sure you will want to be at the top of

your game. My younger children get out for the summer in 2 weeks. I

am really looking forward to having a fun summer this year. Last

year i was way too sick to do much with them or any one for that

matter.

Much love,

Chrissy
