[Guest guest]

Dear : I'm glad to hear you are doing well. It's a new year and

you've got a new lease on life. Good luck! Sincerely, Elena

[Guest guest]

Hi, -

Great news! I'm so pleased you're doing so well and I have my fingers

crossed that the MDs will let you eat like a normal person. What food do

you miss the most? For me, it was bread - specifically, bagels. In fact,

once I knew I could eat them successfully again, I brought a dozen to both

my specialist and my surgeon by way of " thank you " ! In the past 13 months

since my surgery, I've hardly gone a day without one - making up for those 5

years when I went without!

Good luck today - hope it's the best birthday present ever!

Carol

Hi Carol.....I wish you all the luck in the world for your biopsy tomorrow.

Perhaps as youve had painful biopsies before, this one will be a breeze. I

hope so. Take care & try and spoil youself.

Love Jan

Hi all,Tomorrow is the big day of my long awaited biopsy. It has been nearly four years, and three bad flares since last one. Been wanting answers for a while. Kind of scary now that the time is here. Symptoms haven't been great the last year, so worried about what answers I am going to get. I know I may not be up to getting on here for a couple of days, as my last one I was in alot of pain afterwards. It really knocked the heck out of me, but could be because I was so very sick when that one was done. So keeping my fingers crossed I am surprised with it being nothing much at all. Going to think positive. But if you don't hear from me for a bit, it is just me convelescing. They tell me my doc will have the results in one week and will call me about it. I hope so, they were sure slow on the last one. I'm pretty sure it will take longer than a week though - they have already told meseveral times how 'busy' they are with biopsies lately. Just hope they don't make me wait too long, makes me very grouchy. Anyway, wish me luck that it all goes smooth and painless.Love,Carole

[Guest guest]

Dear Carole,

Having just gone through it, I can certainly feel for you !!! Carole,

be sure NOT to let your doctor do what mine did to me !!! Make sure

that you tell the nurses that you WILL HAVE something for pain BEFORE

the procedure !!!

Also, for the biopsy results, the hospital will have the report in 48

hrs. Give the " medical records " department a call on Friday morning

and see if they have it ready - - they should. All you will have to

do is go to the hospital, sign a form, and pick the pathology report

up !!! This is how I got mine. By the way, I called the GI's office

and the nurse told me that they did not have it !!! It is only

a " power " game !!! I actually know for a fact that it was sent to my

GI via fax last Friday !!!

Dear Carole, my prayers and my thoughts are with you !!!

A BIG Hug !!

[Guest guest]

Carole...that's the idea think positive thoughts. But as I always say

" no pain...no pain " Just tell the doc.. take a litle leave a little . I

personally think your going to be fine and they better treat you right

or I'll tell them you are fleet champion and your gloves are close by.

Remember we are with you.

[Guest guest]

a,

Unfortunately I have learned from experience - with test results and

such - your doctor is only as informed as his staff makes him. I

have left doctors for that reason. My old GP had the most awsome

nurse. I go in to get blood drawn, and that afternoon she faxed them

to me. When she left I would have to wait two sometimes three weeks

for my test results - and had to ask for them to be faxed every time,

even though my chart said to do it in large letters on the front.

Then they would get appointments messed up, all sorts of stuff. so

told the doc that I love him but his staff stinks. He agreed with

me! So he moved on to a whole new practice! I really miss him. I

am hoping they get things together in good time. I am actually going

to do the paper work tomorrow to have them just mail it when it is

done. And yes, they will be giving my drugs! Wouldn't do it any

other way. Still not looking forward to it any way though. Oh well,

it will be over quick, and I will be on to vomiting in no time!

Actually they are supposed to hit me with some Tigan so that doesn't

happen either. Thanks for the well wishes.

Love,

Carole

Carole:

I had a biopsy yesterday. All went well. It was done in the x-ray department guided by ultra sound. The local anesthetic was sufficient for the procedure. It was uncomfortable but not too bad. I didn't require anything for pain afterwards. I am a little sore today, but no big deal. I am just going to take it easy. We should get our results about the same time. I wish it would be this week, rather than next. I have not had a repeat biopsy in about 13 years, so I am very anxious to see if there have been changes microscopically over the years. I am crossing my fingers for both of us......Marty

Hi Helen:

Well, first, off congratulations for being asked to speak. They couldn't

have picked a better person.

Secondly, what time should I be at your house today LOL. You certainly are

cooking up a storm. It all sounds delicious.

Congrats to Nick too. That sounds way to cute with him practicing on the

ottoman with an audience. Good for him for taking it serious enough to

practice. I am sure he will do an awesome job. Please wish him good luck for

me.

Good luck to you on Wednesday, I am sure you will do a wonderful job at

getting Nick's story across and telling more people about JRA. I'll be

thinking

of you. 'Break a leg'.

Take care.

Patty

[Guest guest]

Helen - wishing you luck and knowing that you will do great. Just speak

from your heart - and all will go well. You have helped so many of us with you

knowledge of the disease and the strength to keep going. Sandi Ken and Hunter

[Guest guest]

Helen,

Congrdulations to you and Nick. My Mom always told me if I got stuck with

talking to take a deep breathe and close my eyes. When I open them think of

everyone naked lololol. She said it will either get you laughing or you will

look stright forward and hopw you hurry up and sit down. Also another good way

is think of the adults as Kid's and your talking to them. You will be fine

though and Nick will to. Will be cheering you on in spirit.

Robbin

[Guest guest]

You'll be fine, Helen, because you'll be speaking from the heart.

The first time I spoke I was so thankful to have a podium because at least

my shaking knees

hidden from everyone! I wish we could be there to support you, but know that

we'll be there in spirit.

Our best to all~~

Liz

I am a nervous wreak... On Wednesday I will be speaking at the

annual Commitment to a Cure breakfast that the Arthritis foundation

puts on.

I was asked back in June if I would be willing to share Nicks story

at the breakfast and said yes. This is TOTALLY out of my comfort

zone, but something i felt strongly about. Theres not a lot I can do

to fight this disease, but speaking out and raising awareness is

something we can all do.

At least my fmaily will eat well today because of my nervous engery.

I have been up since 4am. The sausage is ready to make grits and

eggs for breakfast ( one of Nicks favorites ) I have pork ready to

make snitzels for lunch and a crock pot is simmering away with a

beef stew in for supper, oh yea and theres bread raising to make

home made bread rolls to go with the stew.

I hope I can hold it together and not become a blubbering fool up

there. is also speaking, just a short piece but he is so

pumped up about it. He practices by moving the otterman in front of

the TV, climbing up with his piece of paper and making everyone

watch him. It's too cute.

Wish me luck.....

hugs Helen and (9,systemic)

[Guest guest]

Good luck with it. You will do absolutely fine. From just this little time that

I have cyber known you, you are very knowledgeable about JRA, and I am sure you

will take all you have learned to this breakfast.

BTW, my beef stew is in the crockpot right now too, only I add beef kidney to

mine. Shhh, don't tell the kids.

Helen, you will do fine. As many have said speak from the heart, from

experiences and as a mom! No one is more out of their comfort zone than I am

when

it comes to public speaking. prior to my AF involvement you could not pay me

to speak. In school I took a lesser grade to avoid speaking. In college it

never failed I was sick or would choose a more difficult assignment to get out

of going to the front of the class. I would get so sick if I had

too.....However, when i found just how passionate I am about arthritis, finding

a cure and

helping people like your son or even myself I found speaking was not so

hard....best of luck and let us know how it goes!

I'd say " break a leg " but you sound so nervous you probably would!

Oh and I strongly advise against the old theory to imagine the crowd in

their underwear- that's just gross with some audiences. ;-)

The food sounds fabulous, by the way.

HI Helen-

I'll be thinking of you on Wednesday. It's clear you have a way with words

and of course, Nick's story is so moving. I'm sure you'll both be a HUGE

hit!!! And you're right... it is so important.

By the way... I want to come over to your house on some Sunday... it sounds

like heaven with all that great home-cooked goodness!!!!

Best hopes-

I have had experience with the Woodridge office and the Aurora office.  The

Woodridge office is definitely nicer.  Make sure you know where to find it;

it's a little tucked away.  Good luck.

I'm making the call to social security for tomorrow to start the process of

receiving SSI, he turned 18 on 4/20. I spoke to someone I work with who went

through the process, he suggested I call and go there in person to speak to

them, he said the office here in Woodridge was very helpful and they were very

nice to work with.

I do appreciate any good vibes you can send our way :-)

Thanks, you have no idea how many e-mails I've printed off from some of you so I

can at least feel somewhat informed!

Have a great rest of the day,
