Re: EUS...Sounds good

[Guest guest]

The midaz has an amnesiac effect so you wont remember much. I'm not

familiar with the other 2 but that doesnt mean much. As long as you

are comfortable with the level of anes is the most important

thing.

The last eus I had they used midaz(versed) demerol and Haldol, the

last one did the trick and I didn't know a thing until I woke in

recovery and felt great. That was in Cinci actually and I flirted

terribly with the cute little doc from some slavic country, great

accent. I do recall a slight pinch at one point, but thats it, must

have been when they did the biopsies.

I haven't kept up with a lot of the post these last few weeks. I've

been so weak and tired. I did not know you were going on holiday

again. Were are you two wild jet setters off to this time. I cant

believe I missed that! I have been moping in bed most of the time,

but I still cant believe I missed another great holiday for ya'll.

Fill me in sug! Must be big if your doing all that packing already.

I'm sorry your feeling poorly. You have had such a long run of

feeling strong and well, I really hoped it would last a bit longer.

I hope this bad spell is short lived. Please dont worry so much

about the eus, its really not that bad. I know its always scarey

and stressful, you and I are alike in one regard, our imagination is

much worse then our reality. Try not to worry yourself sick, but

who am I to talk.

Maybe you should talk to your doc about something a little stronger

then codeine, it really is rather mild. I take dilaudid as my

routine pain med, it mostly calms the pain as well. Demerol really

knocks it out for me, but I try not to take that very often at all.

I already had to go through mild withdrawels before and dont want to

do that again. Yet I dont need to suffer all night anymore either.

I truly hate the mind numbing stupidity that goes with taking the

narcs. I must admit, while I was working and not taking them much I

was getting back to my sharpness, unfortunately I was so weak and

felt horribly I couldn't really enjoy it. Its seems we always have

to deal with some type of trade off or another. I want it all, good

health and sharpness of mind!

I am sure i will have to apply for any position when I am well,

just want to make sure that my application will have the same weight

as everybody elses. I am not sure exactly how it will work out but

I will cross that bridge when I get there. I dont think there are

any guarantees but he did make it sound as if there would be no

difficulty with rehire. I just dont want to loose that great spot

in the GOOD parking garage, its only a block from the hospital. The

last spot I had was almost a mile walk. And before that was many

miles and a shuttle bus, hated that, so I rented a close spot on my

own, cost a bundle. Parking is a major issue in ton and some

spots are worth more then the house I am living in. Really! Funny

the importance some people place on things.

Feel better soon Fliss and give Jim a hug from me telling him not to

worry so much about his beautiful bride. sorry to have been so

verbose.

Love,

chrissy
