Hi

Nice to hear from you again. I remember when you used to post because

you're the closest to me. I'm down in Ilion.

Welcome Luke & my re-intro

Hey fellow soapers! First, a big welcome to little Luke! Congrats

nne!

I just checked out his photo and boy, is he a cutey and I LOVE the name!

I haven't posted in ages. We've been back in NY since last May but I

just

haven't had a chance to do much of anything except work on the house &

keep

the kids out of trouble!

I'm hoping some of you will remember me. I'm . I'm originally

from

Rome and just returned after 15 years of military travel. Dh will

retire in

about 4 years. He's in Arizona til May but then will be stationed at

Ft.

Drum. We have 3 kids, is 14, Audrey is 7 & little Henry is almost

2.

I almost made it to the gathering last year but it didn't work out. I'm

hoping to come this year. If anyone has details, please let me know.

I've been venturing into some other art mediums, mostly sewing and a

little

painting. I'm teaching myself to paint (just acrylics) and it's kinda

fun...I feel like a kid again, playing in paint. And Audrey is always

right

next to me because she just loves art.

I have been reading the emails and trying to keep up with everyones'

goings-on. It seems to be a little slow on the list lately...maybe

because

we're actually getting some decent weather (minus our little snowstorm

the

other night). We have definitely been taking advantage of the warmer

weather (although it's all relative, isn't it? how can 39 be considered

balmy???)

Anyway, just thought I'd do yet another quick re-intro (I tend to lurk a

lot

& then so much time goes by and for that, I apologize)

Take care all. , Rome

I'm hoping to but it will all depend on my husband's vacation time,

weddings coming up (not sure of dates yet) etc.

It's being held out in Rochester near Letchworth Park I believe. Are

you considering going?

D's Surfin the web

Hello one and all. Just taking a break on my search/surfin the web. I am looking for local (within 50 miles) that treats hep. The Dr I seen a couple of weeks ago was gonna refer me to my husbands Dr. At first I said OK. But by the next day I decided NOPE!! I stressed and worried over it til I was sick Saturday. If the thought of seeing that Dr stressed me out that bad I would really hate to see what I would be like after a few visits. So I'm waiting to get a new referral. I gave them info on a Dr that really got my attention. I have gathered info on a few others in case they cant get me in with my first choice. LOL I just realized my first choice.... ha ha I refer to my dragon as the GREEN DRAGON, the Dr I chose first, his last name is ..... GREEN.. HAHAHA

How are you all? I hope all is well for each and every one of you.

love

d

Patty Thanks I needed that pat on the back. Since I got so sick in 2003 I just never trust my decisions. That is something I don't understand. I know I am more than capable of making the right choices for me and my health, I'm just so scared to put my foot down and say OK..... I WANT IT LIKE THIS. But with this DR I am not relaxed. The Dr seen my husband all thru tx and ALWAYS had to look at the chart to know Mitch's first OR last name. But he never failed to ask about my dogs, by name. That was just one of several quirks of his that was just too much for me to get past. The fact that the man looks like Hitler did not help matters.. Patty not to be negative but my mom had whiplash in her neck and in her back. She was seeing a chiropractor 2 times a day, and phy therapist 6 days a week, and it was months before she was allowed to lift more than a 16 oz drink. It will take time and patience as well as hard work to get the kinks(ha ha)

D..He should have been a damn vetenarian!!!!..so sorry you both had to go through this during tx, But..you have learned from mitchs journey that you can be in Control of your health and have doctors answer your every question...and thier concern for you is in thier eyes...

When I first met my Hep doc, Dr Brock,@ 45 yrs old, we didnt hit it off at all ..we snapped at each other right off the bat..(I was angry at the dragon),our next appt went smooth and productive, I was all ears and let him know how much I did know,and I had a support group behind me & like you my hubby had hep but unfortunatley didnt do tx...but I did learn from it as you have dear d...

I went to a new p/t today because I wanted one closer to home, there is no way I can drive that far after working all day..so I made some adjustments..

Just put your first foot forward! I know you will....You are a strong beautiful woman & We are behind you..Save Your Life, we want you around for a long time..ok.?...You have so many health issues & I worry for you, praying that you will soon get to a point of no pain for once in your life..(hugs)...Love ya Bunches, patty

D, have you ever had an mri on your back done?...xrays do not show the real problems..luv ya Pattypooh

Re: Sugar results are in

if you figure it out would you please share with the rest of us. Between pain and weather I never walk. So the excuses I understand.

When I was 11 I was shoved off some stairs and landed on my tailbone. I was seeing a chiropractor for months til the evil step-dad(also the shover) refused to allow mom to take me any longer. I have always had severe pain in my lower back from this.The chiropractor only keeps records for 5 years so I have no record of it. Drs always ex ray and say no we dont see any problems. Ha not them feeling the pain.

Can some one tell me a better test?

You may not feel much, usually I have to pee all night, when mine has been that high. I have been close to 400 before and was still walking and talking.

He died and the parents got a visit from the Division of Family Services.

Get busy and get it down to under 200 as soon as you can. I have heard that over 200 is when damage begins to the vessels and nerves.

Patty hey how are you? No I have never had an MRI. Drs are good at putting someone off with I SEE NOTHING WRONG. The clinic had x rays but said since the dr said nothing was wrong there was no need to have a MRI. So they would not allow it. I dont have the $$ to pay for one and they would not pay for it so I was S.O.L. But that is all changing. love and hugs dPat McBride <pmcbride1@...> wrote: D, have you ever had an mri on your back

doing ok d, thanks..

we finally got some rain last night and it has cooled things off a bit..the only reason I was able to get the mri was because the other insurance co paid for it..surgery is the only thing that would be an option for me and I wont have it...too risky for nerve damage...what pisses me off the most is I cant really take much pain relievers w/o stressing my liver..getting off my feet for long periods of time helps, but my hands are still messed up & cant have surgery yet on them either, gotta work, ya know..waaaaa...just have another rollaid, I say..lol

Love ya, Patty

Isn't that the truth, I have always been nuts but at times thought I was really going insane. What made it bad was I didn't look sick and people thought it can't be that bad and some still do.

Congratulations to you both! We know what it's like going in for surgery (we're basically asleep) - then when it's someone important to us that we love to the ends of the earth and beyond, that's in the OR and we're the ones sitting in the waiting room, hour by hour, oy what a feeling when the surgery is done and the doctor comes out and gives a good report! I'm glad to hear the good news! G

[ ] D

Hi Guys. I just wanted to let everyone know that my mom is out of surgery and in the recovery room. Her surgery was scheduled for 1:15 but she didn't go in to the O.R until 5:00. The surgery lasted about two and a half hours. They ended up fusing C4-C7 instead of C5-C7. The doctor said she did great!

[Guest guest]

Great news that Val is out of the OR and doing well. I am sorry to

learn that they have had to add an extra level of fusion to her neck,

but hopefully that will not alter the doctors expectation of a fairly

quick recovery!

Please let Val know we are all thinking of her.

Take Care, Cam

[Guest guest]

Oh wow! My thoughts and prayers are with her. Thanks for letting us

know how she is doing.

Honey, you sure don't need to apologize. I totally understand. Rob's health

issues over the years have been a struggle WITH insurance for us, too.

Two years ago, we had $15,000 in out of pocket costs after insurance paid. Yes,

I thank God we had insurance coverage, or we would have been bankrupt, but a

$15,000 hit is hard to take. And in your situation, where you have 2 children

needing meds and therapies, its just heartbreaking. In this country, the richest

in the world, and you are saddled with all the co-pays and deductible costs and

having to make some extremely tough choices about each of your kid's health.

It just should not be this way.
