Re: SOD to Kathleen

[Guest guest]

Actually I am like you. All my problems started with the lap chole.

Of course saying that minimizing the severity of my pancreatic

disease. So its its a little bitter sweet. I have had prblems all

my life but was not diagnosed until after the lap chole (which I

really did not need). I wonder sometimes what would have happened

had I not had it removed. But then I thought it would have happened

eventually and I might not have been strong enough then to endure all

that I have had. I could spend the rest of my life wondering what

if, second guessing fate or Gods will what ever you choose to call it

but that would be maddening.

Also it does help some people to have their gallbladders removed.

There is one in particular that comes to mind. She was a very active

member of this group. A young, 23 yo, Canadian woman, as nurse to

boot; who has divisum. She was slated for alap chole for some time.

It was postponed often something to do with the Canadian medical

system; but then she did finally have it last winter. She is doing

wonderfully according to her last post, which was some time ago. I

hope she never has to need to seek us out again. She knows this is a

temporary fix at best. How temporary, its nobody's guess; I suppose

we have to put that in the hands of fate or God's will, whatever you

want to call it.

I truly hope that things improve for you. I know how you feel as I

have been there myself. Except that I chose not to have the botox.

but it is really good to know that it is helping you.

With all my warmest thoughts,
