hey you guys, just wantesmto pop in while im having a GOOD day. surgery went 6 hrs. they ran into some complications, will give more details later. i was in the hospital for 5 days. got home and a weel later during post op check up, found out incision ISNT healing so that means i have an open gash in my bikini area, which means i have a nurse come in 3 times a day to pack it. yes she has her fingers 4 inches inside the wound. THEN, my pharm. plan DID NOT fill my lithium so i went without for 6 days. YES i flipped out. DH had to pay for it out of pocket. so between crying in pain or in agony, depression etc. IM STILL HERE DAMMIT! even though i feel like someones trying to take me out! lol

hope to be back soon! love you guys!

((((((((((Valerie))))))))))

I'm so glad to see you well enough to write and let us know whats up. Did you have Dr. Cutsoncarla? That is what I call that stupid general surgeon who did little but cut me up. So sorry all has not went your way. I've tried to post jokes, but here lately I've been seriously depressed. I'm so glad to hear you are kickin'! Tell that nurse...easyyyyyyy does it, or she'll have to get something unpacked. LOL

Hugs & Hope
Carla

Valerie,
With all that you've been through you deserve to be as mean as any one person can be, so let it all out. I hope the pain pills work for the pain, mine did for a while, but then they wore off and katie bar the door cause I was throwing something through it.

Tomorrow for my first visit with a new ob/gyn. We'll see if he can help my HS or just be an idiot like my regular dr. is. LOL, I know more about it than they do. Shameful, but true. Plus I'm re-testing just in case x idiot gave me something I can't tell....better safe than sorry.

I may not be online at all tomorrow, depends on how the visit goes. I may end up going home early.
Love, Hugs & Hope
Carla

Valerie --

So sorry to hear that you had such a hard time. Sorry to hear that you had to miss your meds for that long too.

Hugs to you and I'm praying things get easier for you.

(((((((((Valerie)))))))) I wish things had gone smoother for you. But, am glad to hear that you are mending. I too hope things go smoother for you from here on out. And, I can attest to the "When it rains it pours" scenario Marci eluded to. LOL! My situation is totally different though, and pales (i'm sure) in comparison to the H*() you've been through with all of this.


Hang in there girl! Know we're all thinking of you and still sending the healing vibes your way! BTW,
