Wow Janie,
I haven't seen a lot of your previous posts so I don't know your whole situation...
but I am sooooo sorry you are going through this.

Truly....its not fair. There is no good resaon why this works for one person, and not another. You deserve only to feel good and be healthy and that is my wish for you. You were and are trying to take care of yourself...and all you can do is stand by that intent. You did the best you can do. In life that is all we can ask of ourselves.

You are in my thoughts...and I hope your revision is quick, low in pain and high in relief.

I know it suck and it hurts and it's not fair... yes you are right about all of that.

It's a short time until you are reversed and relief is on the way. Hang in there doesn't help I know but it's what I have to offer at this point. Just for the next hour.... think good thoughts... then the hour after that and soon it will be the day before and then the big moment.

Not promising everythign will be peachy keen when you wake up... you will have recovery time but we've spoken to people who reversed and 6 months out they don't even "remember" how bad the pain was... idstant memeory and all that.

Think about 6 months from now... sittign on the beach, still thin drinking a FF smoothie and having your low cal lean cusine for lunch.... Thinking Life sure sucked 6 motnhs ago...man am I glad I took care of business.

Yes financially it's going ot be hard but at least you'll live long enough to fix it!

Hugs honey

Thanks for the support, I know it sounds like a weak thank you.. I'm just plain worn out. I know in my heart you are right Paige. As I said I know I don't get to quit, I only get to keep waking up and hoping this nightmare is going to end soon. I probably shouldn't have waited this long.. but realistically I wasn't well enough before now anyway. I'm trying to think positive thoughts at this time even though I hope I won't wake up after surgery. Again I don't think I have a choice.. so I will keep thinking about all the people who have told me everything is going to be ok and try and dream of happier times.... J

Amy, I am right here honey. Didn't see this until now.

Aww you guys give me too much credit here. I just love my friends and wear my heart on my sleeve is all.

Janie, babe, wish I knew what to say to you, but this is the time I think I need to let you cry and scream because you are in pain physically and emotionally. My heart aches for you honey. You are so much a part of all of us now and when you are in pain and suffer, so do we. We are here for you whenever you need us. I know we can't make the pain go away, but we can sit here with you and try to understand and tell you that we feel every word you say sweetie. Gosh, I wish I could just make all of this go away for you, but I can't. BUTTTTTTT, we are looking to the future and you WILL get better with this surgery! I refuse to accept this will not be your answer! Just hang on a little longer and you'll get there. I hope you are feeling better now. ((((((((((((((BIG TEARFUL HUGS))))))))))))))))

Janie,
Gawd, I can only imagine the fear and panic you must be feeling right now. I had just a tiny taste, and it freaked my ass right out. What can I do that will help you feel better? I'm sorry work is being nonsupportive--too many times managers get into a "souls on board" mentality and don't really see that you would just as soon NOT have to take time off and inconvenience their body count. That's what FAMLA is all about tho, and use it if you have to....that's why it's there.

Keep talking, keep staying with us, keep sharing your fear, as sharing it diminishes its power. We love you and care about you.

Thanks for your posts.. and support. I went to therapy today it doesn't help.
Therapist suggested I write a book. haha like I have the energy right now.
Suppose I should I have no idea what is in store for me financially right?

Yes I'm crazy beyond belief.. ask Paige LOL blah I was all over the map the past few days. Tomorrow I'm taking my best friend to Glen Ivy for some much needed R&R. I was told to stay out of the sun, but one day isn't going to kill me! I keep telling myself what another four weeks will bring. I'll be out of surgery and feeling much better.. and hopefully contemplating on when I can return to work! Thanks all for listening to me whine. Janie

sdgrrl · 08-24-2007, 10:44 AM

What a great idea, Janie! How ironic it is that you are at Glen Ivy today. I have been wanting to go for a longtime, and was just talking to Michelle about when we're going to go. It's a promise I made to myself--to have a day of rest before my date with the scalpel. I totally understand your wanting to go and I hope if was a great day!

All my best to you during this scary-ass portion of our show, Janie. My heart goes out to you and you are heavy on my mind, wishing you relief from pain and sadness. Keep talking--I understand the place you are in, and it helped me if someone kept in touch...it's very isolating to go thru such trials. Big hugs to you, Sweetie.....

paige52 · 08-24-2007, 11:21 AM

Janie posted on antoher thread that she went to counselign and it doens't work..... Honey you have to give it a chance.

You are in such a unique place that "one" of anything isnt' going to help you. There's a good possibility that it's not the right therapist for you. Keep trying until you find the person who hears you with compassion. but keep trying don't throw up your hands after one visit...imagine if you had done that in regards to your current physical health? What a mess you would be now...possibly dead.

That said... yes love you are crazy... meant with compassion and caring!

Anyone else out there have this experience... first counselor wasn't right for you so you moved on and found someone who was?

Did it take a long time? Was it worth the search? Did it not work and endly badly?

I look forward to counselign because I can say things to them, I could never say out loud even to myself when I'm alone. It helps me tremendously. I am starting a new counselor in 2 weeks... trying a program at the college, very exciting stuff.

sdgrrl · 08-24-2007, 11:43 AM

For years I have laughed and said that I have personally sent more therapists to the Bahamas and sent more Psychiatrists' kids to college than you can possibly imagine!

Of course it's possible to not like a new therapist. You're going to be emoting all over their rug--pick someone who you trust with your deepest vulnerabilities, if you don't like them, it will be very hard to share, have your emotions about it, and move forward.

And something as big as this should def be talked about! More than once--more than twice--as many times as necessary in order to fold it up and store it away properly.
