Default Hi Cass

That angel I sent around your way is still sitting on your shoulder. I am glad you have ready all the questions you will ask your doctor. Waiting for that all important office visit, is what I call "hard time". I hope this day finds you outside again, walking the dog, and in less pain. ginnie

Yesterday i had another optical seizure, that will be number 5 since mid november, 2 days to go to the surgeon, im over it, my eye hurts, my head hurts, my partner is running low on energy and the only positive yesterday was no major headache that would suggest rupture. Plenty of water, codeine and a full day/night sedated and i feel ok today, just sore.
How much more i can take, i dont know, wait n watch program is out of the question I cant do this anymore. I just have to hope the surgeon is willing to fix me up.
Im sad n angry n want it over with.

Default Hi cass

I am sorry you are going though so much. I wish it were over with too, and that the surgeon can fix it. Nobody would want to go through that. Please be brave. I am thinking about you and praying for you. Don't hesitate to contact SDfencer for support in PM. He lives with this horrible thing to. The doctors did say that they would operate didn't they? I wish I could do something to lift your spirits. I don't think I would have done as good as eithor of you have. My neighbor went through this too, and had his surgery about a year ago. he is doing very well, but a bit frail. he is 48 years old or there about. He had brain cancer followed by aneurysm. He is OK however and not in pain. I hope that you get to be free of this. ginnie

hi all,
Been in hospital for the past 8 days, released last night. Seems I have migrane disease and they finally got it under control. A few days ago i started to stutter, first thought to be a side effect of the drug used to control migrane, but after MRI came back all clear we decided that it was possibly stress n anxiety. Today the stutter has decreased, speech therapist recomended a new way to talk which has helped greatly, just gotta watch those stress levels so it doesnt turn into something else or stuttering returns.
Im off for an angiogram in 2 weeks and then back to surgeon for treatment plan. Keep u all posted.

Default Re: home

glad you are home cass. does this mean you don't have the annies? Just the migrane disease? Sure glad you got home, as hospitals are no fun, and no place to rest. sleep good to night and catch up here when you feel better. all of us were thinking of you. ginnie

Hi Ginnie,
I have both, migrane disease and annies. I also now sport a stutter which we thought was due to the new drug Im on, but turns out its all anxeity/stress. I guess thats what happens when the partner is not coping and picks fights as soon as I walk in the door. I just gotta hope he calms down soon n gets a grip on it all instead of blaming me for bringing this on myself.
One good thing from the hospital stay is giving up smoking. Im loving it and would love it more if my partner would take his smoking outside. He does till I go to bed then thinks its ok to smoke inside, of course i wake up to stale smoke. Not pleasent but just creates an argument if i complain.
Anyways, Im doin ok for now, looking forward to getting the ball rolling so i can heal n get on with life.
Much love n big hugs
Cass xxx

Default Hi cass

Stress can wipe a person out, thats for sure. That is my issue as well. Did your annies get fixed while you were in with stents? I hope your migranes go away too so you can get on with life. Tell your partner, that you didn't bring this on yourself, nobody asks to get these terrible thing. There is fighting at this house too. I don't like being ordered about, when I can barely walk.
My PCP is calling my pain specialist and asking for more help for me until I get surgery to get this joint replaced. The pain is awful. Hope you are feeling better and get better support at home so you can heal. ginnie
