"Other than THAT, Mrs. Lincoln...."


Seriously, I hope you are on the mend, have help at home and can take
time to think and heal on many levels.

Nothing dull about your life!! How blessed you were to find and
correct
the mess you gut had gotten itself into. And that the appendix was
just
hot not ruptured. I can't even imagine how sore your whole belly &
chest
cavity must be.
I had an appendectomy the weekend after 9-11. Went in late aftn, and
had
surgery @ midnight. We had 2 $90. NASCAR tickets on the kitchen table
that it was too late to give away or sell. But it went swimmingly and
a good
recovery.
I pray your recovery is quick and that you have good drugs for the
pain.

Clearly, better than yours. The important thing is that you pulled
through, and that you're now equipped in body and mind to continue
forward. I wish you not only a speedy recovery from your wounds, but a
slow and steady reorganization in general.

You asked about me, so I'll respond. (If you were only kidding,
tough.) My gut has been hurting on the lower right side for about a
week, sometimes more, sometimes less. I had a ureter cancer removed
about a year and a half ago, so I wondered if it might be related.
Various reasons made me guess it isn't. I saw my doctor today, and he
agreed it might be a pinched nerve. (Spinal stenosis partly numbs the
soles of my feet, so a spinal origin isn't unlikely.) He gave me a
scrip for some sort of scan, and told me to use it if the pain
persists for another two weeks. Apparently, neither of us is very
worried.

Keep tabs on those adhesions. Some may return and new ones may form.
There are exercises that can help once the soreness has eased. Good
luck!

My gut feeling is that stress causes arrythmia, which produces more
stress, etc.

Compared with yours, boring, thankfully. I hope you mend quickly and
get on with living, a boring life like mine.

With me, stress seems to prolong arrhythmia and I have to take an
extra dosage of medication to get over it.

Only a little. You know where a cough originates??? gut. Know how
sore my gut is/was?
Not a bunch of coughing got done.....didn't work anyway. Nothing did
that's why the did the cardio-avert.

Thanks. I actually kinda envy you your boring life out in the woods
and wilds. I aspire to that eventually.

Mine was pretty good. I am feeling like I am in a while new world,
pretty well recovered from my surgery 5 months ago. Sorry to hear about
your experience. NO fun having appendicitis. No fun having surgery. Get
better soon.

But you're still posting to Usenet, so looks like you have a ways to
go.

And what has Google done that made your post so horrendously
formatted?

A few months ago I never thought that I would feel this good again. I
have been attending cardiac rehab workouts twice a week. I have also
been walking 2-3 miles per day, looking forward to nicer weather so I
can start bicycling. My ribs are pretty well mended, but still quite
tender. My heart seems to be working fine. I have a lot more energy.

Every once in a while my wife and son remind me about what sad shape I
was in after the surgery. Thank goodness that is all well behind me. I
don't ever want to go through that again.


I was at the dentist the other day and my dentist is in a similar
situation. He had angiogram and angioplasty but could not clear the
blockage. They are treating it with medication, diet and exercise, but
he may have to go for bypass surgery. The only positive thing I could
tell him was that after several months you start to feel better.

OMG Sitara! I'm glad they found your problems and were able to fix you
so quickly. That must have been very scary. Please take care of
yourself. I know I don't have to say that. Whoa.

Yikes! I was at a fancy hotel for a dance convention. Had some yummy but
expensive food. And I got two new kitties. So I'd say mine went better
than yours. Sowwy.
