UGH! I swear this surgery mess is going to break me! At preop today I just wanted to go on back into the operating room and take the stupid scalpel and just fix myself. I hate the way all of this stress is making me feel! I absolutely hate it! I have gotten so many words of encouragement and I am grateful for each one, but I still feel so scared and so alone an...1 Recommendation4 Comments -

My back is really hurting through the night and still now. I'm going to have to call the doctor's office when they open and see about coming in and/or getting another urinalysis tomorrow when I finish the antibiotic to make sure it worked. Found out by reading online that Macrobid is not wide spectrum and may not do the job. I'm worried there may be kidney infection ...1 Recommendation3 Comments

Follow-up visit to cardiologist today. It was really hard. A friend took me, thank goodness. The doctor is a young, expressionless hurried woman who looked impatient during most of the 15 minutes I got with her to ask questions. I wish I could just change to someone else but it would take so long to be sure of finding someone halfway warm and I don't have that kind of ...1 Recommendation3 Comments

On March 26th I caught my husband of six years cheating on me again. We got through the first time and I'm hoping we make it this time as well. This is my second marriage and I'm determined to make it work. We've been making plans to retire together in the next five years and I still want that. My husband just seems to need something outside of our relationship...1 Recommendation3 Comments

It's been an okay day. Haven't noticed any huge difference because of not taking the Atenolol today (in preparation for the nuclear stress test tomorrow). I made a therapy appointment with a brand new therapist I found in my insurance preferred providers book, who turns out to specialize in medical psychology - how appropriate. Told her I just need to deal with the fear I'...1 Recommendation3 Comments

Had a 10 hour session Friday.
Started at about 1pm and finished up at about 11.
Pretty annoying.
I still did everything that i had to do but didn't get to the gym which was something that I wanted to do.
Had people over Friday night and tried to act as normal as possible.
Was glad that it finished up before bedtime.1 Recommendation2 Comments -
Off to see the ortho again tomorrow. Fortunately only 1 hour out of our way, not 6 hour round trip. If there is bone necrosis, then new surgery, if not - then some non-surgical interventions. More worried about the liver, RA flares from being off mthx. Emotions holding up surprising well! No despair or depression. Summer is a good time for me to be sick. LOL Lots of light ...1 Recommendation2 Comments
