2.5 years is a long time - if the nerves were gonna get right on their own you'd think they would have by now...  Good luck!!!

My small report, my surgeon said I really need a specialist for this one to many goofy thing, but get one from my own /dr. and hospital and he'll talk to him about any problems I have with being put out. So that's it.

Aw Veggy - All I can say is I'm sorry. Wish I lived nearby to give you a real shoulder to cry on and not a virtual one. This sucky disease.

Cami---wait this needs to be separated out--surgeon needs to do what__________? What is the surgeon saying he needs to do? What dx did the surgeon give you?

Second, Anethesia is the second part that needs defined. Anesthesia is a specialty. Some have better capabilities then others as I talked about long ago and in present pm's. Your records need to be looked at 1. agents used, 2. tolerance to agents 3. recovery from agents based on PAR score --"post anesthesia recovery score". 4. you need to be in either ICU or a ICU step down unit for minimum 24 hrs because of estabilished history of unknown response to anesthesia agents with a prolonged recovery. Placing you in a standard post surgical bed puts you at risk b/c of nurse patient ratio and inability to adequately monitor Level of consciousness, BP, Pulse, Respiration, Oxygen saturation b/c of added problem of architectural design.  This is simpler than what I wrote before to take to him. This isn't rocket science. Well what can I say I told the rocket scientist that lives next door he needs to paint his shed and that the grass growing through my fence was his. Next rocket goes up on the 8th.

Veggy how are u doing this morning? Now what's the next step for u. This is crap--all crap ad I'm sorry.

camillegal

Sas my next step is going back to my Primary, I'll ask the Dr. for the Dr. I was recommended--Oh My old surgeon said to have this Dr. contact him about any of the problems I had plus my reports will be sent to him. I guess I was disappointed with my surgeon cuz he doesn't do this type of surgery at all--he said the colon is a whole different story and he wanted me to be with CDH cuz that's where my Drs. are----so today I'll call my primary--Oh wait she'a not in on Thursdays--I just thought--so I'll call tomorrow and ask for the Dr. recommended to me and go from there--This is a lot more work than I planned on hahaha--well--I'll do it, I always do in the end so don't worry about me Sas it'll be fine, I've got my sister calling me constantly and she's pretty good with all this stuff as far as being a nag hahaha so I'll do what I should and get to this new Dr. and he can call my old Dr. about the anesthesia--cuz that's really my only concern and all the pathology has been ordered already. so it'll be fine.

Hugs to you too, Cami, it sounds like a pain in the arse. Hey Squishey, love the name, but you'll get many more if you hang around.

Cammi and Veggy...... No good news this morning..... I'm so sorry gals.... Wish we were all together.... 

Veggy, I know it's easy for me to say, but there ARE a lot of women on here, on different threads who are trying to live with liver mets...  and who are doing alright....  This just sucks.  But if it were me, I guess I would say, "okay, now what.... WHAT else can we do to help me get through this.... or help me live with this."  You can tell me to stfu..... but I'm just trying to make you feel better....

And Cammi!  WTH?  I'm going to bring you here, and move you in with me.  We can go play with the Chickens if you want, or walk up to Starbucks.  And take Veggy, if she feels like it!   Then we can sit outdoors and drink ourselves silly.... !

Do any of you take Tramadol or Gralise(slow release gabapentin)??? How does it make you feel?

Praying for a calm after the storm.. I hope this picture will brings peace to the ones that need it:

hi all

I lurk here, read and laugh lots. Thanks for making me smile.

Gma I take tramadol- use it every day and for me it is fine and works, some folk get upset stomachs with it. Can't take gabapentin though it really has bad SEs for me but have a friend on it and she finds it really helps. I talktramadol because of RA and fibromyalgia.

Chevy will be in Denver 24-26 September. Want to do coffee - I know you take it very weak. Can't bring any chickens though.

Cami.....have you ever had an anesthesia that worked, like or any procedure you ever had...?????????......if so, can you go get those records, and take them to the new surgeon, and then to the Anesthesia Dept. of the hospital......



Same thing with me, bad experience, got records of the anesthesia that worked for me previously, and had no problem the next time........the problem was different hospitals with different type of anesthesia........it is a lot of checking, and running around, but for me it was worth it........had no problems after that, once again ...."I was my own advocate".......



Hope it helps......

Hey Duckster!!!!!Im glad to see you. Gma I take Tramadol. No side effects for me and works well for moderate pain...Chev, I know that felling. Dh used to hide shit all over the house, and then make me help him find it when he would get too drunk to remember where it was...

GmaFoley

Thank you, Ladies.  Mary - that is what my pain doc said -  that it might work better for the pain the gabapentin doesn't get - I took my first tramadol, but with my sensitivity issues I cut it in half, just incase... So far a little spacey but ok.. Most of my meds I have to start with a baby dose..

As far as the new "Gralise" slow release gabapentin, pain doc says that being it stays in your stomach and releases slowly alot of his patients like it and have better relief.. I did notice one problem last night but I think being I didn't take any tramadol or tylenol#3s last night, I started having flu-like symptoms.  Got up and took a Tylenol#3, and symptoms subsided.. think withdrawl from the codiene.. And the stress of the day didn't help.. 

I will get through this with all your encouragement - I really appreciate you all!!! 

Ducky - been praying lots for you and Granny..

Big sigh !!!!  and lots of healing vibes for (((( Veggie )))) and ((((Cami )))).  Chevy...you know you are one remarkable person.  I'm so glad we are friends.
