Guest guest Posted July 14, 2000 Report Share Posted July 14, 2000 Dearest Dorie, *HURRAY* "He tracked down the woman who sent me my letter and told her to mark the bill paid in full, and that he was going to continue to see me. Bless him! He was very upset with her." That is really good news... I am so relieved. I was so worried about you. "No matter how bad things seem they do work themselves out for the best." Its hard to believe that though when you are right in the middle of the stress or the depression. When the glimmer of hope leaves and you don't know how you will get through today let alone the next week. "I thank you for being there for me...I will go crawl under my rock andlurk again now. You most likely have heard enough to last awhile.LOL" Absolutely NEVER... I am just so relieved to hear that you will be looked after and that your doctor is caring. Its tough enough being sick let alone with the stress so many of the medical & complimentary practitioners put you through. I'm so happy for you Dorie. Love and HUGE celebrational hugs, Aisha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 Well, I still think 21G is a bit large, but the injection can still be relatively painless if done right. Hopefully your wife remembered everything they said about injecting. Did they do any trial runs? One thing is that most of the pain sensors are near the surface of the skin. Once you get past that, its relatively pain-free. The nice thing about injecting in the thigh or buttock is that you can concentrate more on quickly jabbing the needle into a larger available area for injection, unlike one that takes more precision like an intravenous injection.

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 Breaking the skin stings the most, but for me, the big " pain " is the actual breaking into the muscle. Duller, but greater pain. _____ From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of Rich Sent: Saturday, October 28, 2006 5:11 PM Subject: Re: Problem Solved Well, I still think 21G is a bit large, but the injection can still be relatively painless if done right.

Guest guest Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 I bought a swim mask that covers his eyes AND his nose so he has to breathe through his mouth when he comes up. The thing is, until now he was scared to put his face in the water. Now if we could just get him past the fear of water in his ears. He did put his face in the water when he took a bath! YAY!

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 If its that bad they do make swimmer earphones in case you NEVER can get water in your ears. I have known a couple people who have worn them. I am not sure if its easy to get them if you don't NEED them (like my mom who has a hole in her eardrum does) but its probably possible.

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 We might give this a try. did actually put his ears under last night so that's a great sign. He has been experimenting with his goggles in the bathtub. I'm going to get out and buy him some really good ones. These are cheap ones from the grocery store. I figure if he's using them then it might be worth it to get some better ones. They are for younger kids I think and look huge and klunky. I'll see if we can slowly work our way into the smaller goggles and one of those little nose holders that you see people wear. Even olympic swimmers use them so they don't look geeky or anything. I'm just so thrilled he's working with them! Miriam > > > If its that bad they do make swimmer earphones in case you NEVER can get water in your ears. I have known a couple people who have worn them.
