thank you everyone! I am so sorry so many have such pain to deal with. For the most part I don't have the constant pain. I am diabetic and a chocaholic so those two things battle it out constantly! LOL
I do have hypothyroidism that affects my daily life alot and really really need to lose weight. I have trouble breathing and I know my weight is my biggest problem there. Tho I have one lung that is closed off on the bottom 1/3 and I think that plays a part too.
I have battled anemia my whole adult life it seems. some days I feel like I am going to sink into a puddle on the floor. I can barely lift one foot in front of the other.
but it is all good. I get to sew and spend time with my grands every weekend and I read alot so life is good!
I lost half my blood when I was 44 and had to go on depoprovera(sp?) shots for ayear and take those dumb echocardiogram tests every month to see if the fluid around my heart was gone yet so I could have surgery. So then I had the complete hysterechtomy due to huge fibroids. That was the reason for the blood loss. I have said since then I turned 44 and fell apart!! LOL
Be careful what you say as your words might come back to bite you!
I always told my kids that it's ok it isn't the end of the world. It could be worse!
so I find out I have to have this surgery and I am devastated as I had never had surgery except for having my tubes tied. When I came out of that anesthia(haveing my tubes tied) I could hear my mom and Glen talking but couldn't move or talk and I freaked as I am claustrophobic. So to know I had to do that again was freaking me out. Then the anesthesioligist kept telling me he didn't know if I would make it through the surgery because my stomach would press on my heart when they had me slanted upside down during surgery. I was petrified and didn't want to have the surgery. But they told me I had to or I would die from the bleeding.
So my 6 ft son is following behind me as we walk down the hall going Mom It could be worse! I so wanted to scream I don't want to hear it! But I knew he was just trying to be comforting!LOL
