Sorry I haven't been around.  Life got crazy (I mean, crazier).

 

Endo-wise things are ok.  My upped dose of Aygestin killed most of the pain, and my ovaries couldn't be more suppressed.  But every 3-4 weeks I get all the digestive stuff again, the occasional bleed, the intestinal cramps.  Not really sure why, or what to do about it.  The big fear is how deeply through the intestinal tissue the endo is, but there's no good way to know, and in any case I don't have the time to devote to it right now.  I'm supposed to go Sept 3 to talk about it with the RE.

 

The boys are 8.5 months old now.  Getting big!  I spent all summer trying to put them on a schedule to make life easier.  Andrew's up to like 18 lbs now, and sitting and starting to crawl and pull up to stand.  Mobile little guy!  He's doing great.

 

Daniel ... he's still down at 12 lbs and hasn't much grown for nearly 2 months.  He's got fluid accumulating in his brain and almost surely needs brain surgery to fix it.  So that's what I've been doing.  Bouncing from doctor to doctor, hospital to hospital.  Getting him cleared for anesthesia to have an MRI.  There were concerns about his heart (all fine, phew!), and now about an infection that he's likely had since birth.  But I got him cleared, and he'll have the MRI tomorrow, and meet with neuro surgery on Wednesday to figure out what's what.  Busy busy bad summer.

Hello everyone. This month is busy for me. Sept 15th is my first anniversary and also the day my son will show his cow in PA. We will drive from VA to PA spend the entire day at the show and then drive back home. This is a long and tiring trip but well worth it. Sept 26th is my next CT scan to determine if the nodules in my lungs have changed any.(I pray they are the same or completely gone!) Then on the 30th I go back to the pulmonary dr and hopefully he has good news! That is all for me right now. One bit of good news.....my son has three new calves born Sept 1st. He has already sold two and will keep one until next year. Hope you all are doing well and continue on the road to recovery after recent surgeries.

 

To all pain free days.....DEBBIE

HI all, hope all is well with you all, Well finishing in the Gynae ward next week and back off to Maternity ward. Cant wait. Then will try to get the management to sponser me through my midwifery training.

 

Endo wise, expecting another period in a week or so not looking forward to it at all, last one was hell on wheels.  Have got a tentative date for my hysterectomy for November 3, has taken over a year now but only two more periods to go. Hooray!!!Appaently its taken so long because there are two or three surgeonsneeded and a whole day to be cleared for the op. Scary. Working on the gynae ward hasnt helped dull my fears quite the opposite really, i see all the bad cases come through.

Thats me anyway, spring is here so enjoying a few days of sunshine after a very wet winter.

Take care all,

Steph

STill alive I will say. Not much of a computer junkie these days, so it's rare I even get online much.

My endo is doing well. Depoprovera has kept this monster under control so far. I'm thanking God, and knocking on wood since I have no medical insurance now that I'm divorced.
