Thanks for your support

Hi, its me, Susan. I went to the pulmonary specialist on Tuesday morning, he said my breathing is worse. He thought it was chronic bronchitis, now he says its borderline asthma. So I got some stronger medicines to help me breath. He said my blood pressure is up because of the breathing and the sleep apnea. So armed with new medicines I'm trying out my c-pap machine again because now I shouldn't cough. My primary physician sent me for more blood tests after my preadmission blood tests. Now they say I have low iron, so my surgeon sent me for more blood tests today! If its low enough they might reschedule the surgery again. My job is very busy, my home life is good. So it's just one day at a time. Tuesday nights support group in Waterbury was great! Everyone there was so encouraging, when I left I really felt empowered! Bye guys, talk to you tomorrow. Thanks to everyone who left me a post on my last message.

Don't worry Susan, your time will come and it's so very good that your surgeon is taking all those steps to make it a safe surgery for you even I know it's nerve racking to have to wait. Hugs and all the best to you, Tove

Hi Susan Tove is right - thank God your surgeon is thorough - and is checking everything out before-hand. Your day will come, and I will pray that it is soon! God Bless, Kathy Bilodeau Lap RNY 12/3/03
