Sick of being sick

11 years ago 0 +0 / -0 2508

update...

I have noticed that as I have become more assertive I also become more confident. I think I have been able to handle stress better now than I could before..Which means I am feeling less anxiety and panic than I used too. I think that maybe, I need to take it to the next step and start taking more control over of my own life and destiny.

Anyone notice how being more assertive makes you feel like you have more control over your own personal situation? and therefore less panic? Etc.. Etc...

Don't mind me just rambling here..

Just stopped in to say Hi and give a little update..

Thanks Davit for your support as always and I wish you and Sunny the best with your kitchen make over.

Ashley, I want to thank you too..You have been a great comfort and real rock to me all these years..

Well I met the new doctor a couple of weeks ago, all went well. He have given me 3 weeks respite from the clinic for now and said not to worry, there is nothing really pressing as far as my health goes as he sees it and to relax and enjoy the time off . So that's what I have been doing..and all is going well so far. We have stopped all my meds so that we can see where I'm really at and will start fresh if needed when I return to see him again..We talked and agreed that all the appointments and having to many doctors is causing me too much stress..So he will be my only treating doctor for now which I am very happy about. So all in all I am very happy with the progress that I have made so far and that I spoke up and asserted myself..I am hoping to get rested up soon..

Well I must say Good Bye for now, my friends. Take care all..

Till next time.

Hi Red

Sister Beverly didn't tough me but she wanted to know what area to put her hand over. It takes an hour and the area of my incision got warm. I have no way to explain it but it does seem to work. They teach it in Vancouver. I'm Catholic, sort of, My favourite Saint is Saint Jude.

In Canada all medical visits are on a hospital web and accessible to any Doctor. It saves time explaining every time you see a different Doctor. It saves trying to remember what meds you are on and it prevents lying. Pharmacare is on a web too so any pharmacist or doctor can check. It prevents getting a phoney prescription too. But then there is the internet where you can get anything.

Good luck with all your appointments and procedures. I am there with you.

Your friend too.

Davit.

Hello Ashley and Davit...

Thank you so much for your heart felt support and posts..I cherish your words and there friendships we have been able to make with each here. I felt your positive energy and prayers all day yesterday and today..I have been very relaxed these last two days.

Yesterdays exposure went well and everyone I came in contact with treated me with dignity, respect and great care. I should have my pathology results by Monday afternoon, so we will go from there..Today I am resting up for tomorrows appointment with integrative cardiology..

David I do believe in the healing benefits of touch therapy, thats what they call it here, in integrative medicine. When my husband was ill and scared I was able to touch him and bring his BP back down..of course I was not able to cure him of his ptsd and frontal lobe dementia but he would become calm again and that was so important to his and my well being..Gentle touch therapy can ease the soul..I would be interested in trying a energy transfer like you did in the hospital..I may talk to my doctor about it tomorrow when I see here. I am so glad that your are still here Davit..I sure would miss you..

We now on to tomorrow. We have lots of ground to cover tomorrow at my appointment..Hopefully we can start to come up with some type of care plan for me tomorrow..I sure would like to make more progress if possible in that direction soon..

The Gastro Doctor that did my procedure yesterday gave me the names of some good primary care doctors to consider if things don't work out with the primary care doctor I have now..He said I need have one in place that can help me in case I have problems again..It does take several weeks to get into see him and he said I will need help sooner than that if I get real sick again..I am feeling a little better knowing that if I can get with a good primary I should have someone to turn too. This should help greatly with the anxiety and panic that I have been feeling this last year..

So that is about it with my update for now..I have plans to spend the rest of the day relaxing around the house today. Just finished making some chicken soup that I started yesterday, today..I hope you are doing something you enjoy today and are enjoying your day..The simple things in life make such difference. That's what counts now isn't it..Enjoying every day to it's fullest..

Sending positive energy and such your way too today..

Talk to you soon,

Your Friend..

Hello Red

I think our health care is better because Doctors are controlled, but up north a few slip through the cracks. Vancouver has excellent Doctors but they also have a waiting list. Half of our Doctors here are really good, half are putting in time. It depends on whether they want to be here or have no choice.

So like you, I have to do my own research. Our Doctors are good enough that they have managed to save my sorry ass a number of times, even when I would rather they didn't. Still I have problems that haven't been addressed.

In the hospital last time I was definitely dying of septicaemia. A nun surprised me by wanting to do energy transfer. I was sceptical but you know after a few sessions I turned around and started to heal. Was it this, who knows. But I was a gonner in the eyes of the staff and doctors who were doing all they could even if it was only to make the motions for my comfort. So I wonder, could this be something we just don't understand

I know about fear and I know about strength. I too will send you positive energy and talk to those I am not supposed to mention on this site.

Hi Red,

I'm sorry to hear about all this. I wish I could do something to help with this situation. Aside from smuggling you to Canada ( and I think that plan has some holes in it) all I can do is keep on sending you positive energy. My heart really goes out to you - I can see how frustrating and scary all this must be. You are doing amazing - as always it's amazing to see how strong you are. I know that probably doesn't help hearing that right now but I felt the need to say it.

Thinking of you and will be thinking of you all week.

Hi Ashley,

Thanks for your concern and support as always..I just go home from my mini trip a few hours ago and am resting..I had a peaceful time in the desert..I sure didn't want to come back yet and face the music as they say..If I don't get the help I need next week than I am thinking about packing up and leaving again. I just don't think staying here and begging for help is helping me anymore. We do not have socialized medicine here in the states and I mean socialized in more than one way too..Anyway at this point my primary care doctor and nurse said they feel that the specialists do consults and order lots of tests and then dump the patients back on them to answer questions..The specials here get paid lots for there consults and so in turn other doctors don't want to see you when they didn't get paid as much..So anyway I am having to beg for care here and am hoping that the specialists doing my scope Tuesday will have time to answer my questions about the recent development of my liver being enlarged which they said may be causing my pain. I already asked my primary last Thursday and she really said nothing and was of no help..I think we need socialized medicine here in the states and unfortunately I do not think it will ever happen in my life time so it will be to late to help me but I think it would be of a great help to others who find themselves in my situation..I have one last chance with the integrative cardio specialist next Thursday when I see her to ask questions..She is very hard to get a appt with because she is writing a book, doing research, and travels all over the country.

I have to tell you this has been very hard and I am scared and saddened by the situation I find myself in..I have had lots of nightmares about it all..I am welcoming everyones positive energy or prayers this week..Thank you all for reading and for your thoughts of encouragement..If you don't hear from me for a while know I am thinking of you all no matter where I am or what I am doing.

Take care..

Thanks for the update Red.

I'm glad you were feeling better yesterday. How are you feeling today?

It's very nice to hear that you are being well taken care of by the doctors. I also think a change of scenery sounds like an excellent idea. You're being very smart about your health concerns Red. I'm sure it isn't easy facing all this; I must say I am impressed with your strength and planning. You are doing amazing despite everything.
