Washington State Dr. said he could not be responsible for any further surgerys to my body, to risky for him. Can't say that I blame him.. I knew this was coming. I am back on pain management.
I hate to take them, makes me feel out of body. I started having problems with my legs, they hurt so bad. Our baby Venus is still with me, getting bigger every week and now I have darks areas on my stomach (Dr. don't know what is causing it). I told Art that I hope it is a girl..He sees no humor in it, but understands why I have named my belly. I have to have some humor or I will go nuts and take everyone with me! I am working as much as I can, usually break up the week by working 1/2 days on Wed and Fri. My job (Office Mgr.) is working with psychologists/counselors. It is a very "dress up" position (3 piece skirt sets, dresses and heels). Monday I fell at work, my legs went numb while I was walking. So now I am the only one there to "dress down". They suggested that I wear nice pants and flat shoes, gave me $150.00 to go shopping. It scared the day lights out of them! I have told them how the end will happen, a very warm body flush, dizzy, pass out, lights out... So when I fell they freaked out!!!!
I stay in my office as much as possible, so no one will see the way I am dressed, I feel out of place. Back to the Drs. phone call...One Dr. out another one in. He works at Johns Hopkins in Maryland. When I called them last November they said they could not help. I wonder why they are now?? We don't really care, we are just excited that he is studying my case! I looked him up on the internet, he has a 5 star rating. Art says if he is from Johns Hopkins he must be one of the best. I hope so. My Dr. said I might have to go to Maryland for the next surgery. This will make surgery #3 in three months. I do sooo hope that this is not the way the rest of my life will be. I am still struggling with my weight, gain 3 lbs lose 4.
Art has stopped as much as he can being a helicopter husband. He is letting me help clean stalls, I clean he throws hay and feed, water. It is nice to be doing horsey chores again. We are going to the Chickasha Auction May 2. Hope to see the usuals there! I am sooo looking forward to getting "out"! My IR said I should hear from him in the next day or two to schedule the next surgey. I will let you know when I hear back from my Dr and what the plan is....Thank you to all who have kept candles lit for us..
