The good, bad, and ugly

I will start with the good......I too (like Carolyn) had all my bloodwork drawn by my PCP....almost everything was great Almost: heres the bad~I am one point away from being anemic again!!!! I hate that!!! I had hoped that would all go away with the hysterectomy last OCt! But now it looks like it just might stick with me....no wonder I was getting all tired and worn out again.....backing to popping the iron Now for the ugly I have been feeling like POOP....lots of yucky mucus and head pressure and just junk.....of course I am prone to sinus infections so I went to the doctors office yesterday......YEP, I have a sinus infection, but also strep just what I need when my plastics are next Thursday!!! And my pre-op bloodwork will be Tuesday and if my white counts are high (as with an infection) they will cancel me......Now I am super scared of plastics.....but I don't want it cancelled!!!!! So I am popping antiboitics and gonna down some extra Vit C and stuff.....it seems I get sick whenever I go into surgery and then it is a race to get better......I hate that!!! Sinus infection also reared its ugly head before WLS.....able to get rid of it......right before my hysterectomy got a nasty rash infection....had to get rid of that.....and now sinus infection again!!!! Oh well.....could be worse!! If you got a minute will you send some healing thoughts my way Gotta get rid of this junk Take Care jesi

Healing thoughts headed your way! You've got a week. Lots of liquids will help keep the mucus loose and then you can get it out.

I too am sending some healing thoughts your way so you can get rid of that nasty sinus infection and strep!! Keep popping those pills and you will be feeling tons better by next week! Nancy 273/195/?

Pop them pills drink that liquid and get plenty of rest. Will keep you in my thoughts that you will be all better by next week and your plastics will be a go. You have come so far and look really great. Good luck to you and can't wait to hear see you back here after your ps.

Hello I'm praying for you right now. Take Care Lisa Young

***OMMMM...OMMMM**** Hey that was me meditating and sending "get well" vibes into the cosmos just for you Jesi! GET BETTER and wow- next week seems so close already!! YEAH FOR YOU!! -Nan

You are too darn funny....as soon as I read *OMMMMM OMMMMM* I wanted to put my fingers toghther and meditate with ya Thanks jesi

Jesi Sounds like your body must react to your 'stress' about surgeries! Happy thoughts and prayers coming at you! Hugs Sheila

Morning Jesi Thoughts & prayers are coming your way. Also chasing off your sinus infection! Knew your surgery was coming up soon but didn't realize I guess how soon. I talked to Don (PC) about plastics also. He will be more than happy to give me a referral & whatever it takes for my tummy tuck. I guess the surgeon handles title 19 with a referral & gets title 19 to cover it. I had some sores going on when I visited so that will probably help get there also. Like you I'm afraid of plastics but NOT that afraid Get better soon. Hugs Carolyn

Hey lady! Yucky! I'm thinking about you and sending thoughts your way. You'll be fine. You should have enought anti-biotics in you by next week to clear you. I'm hoping!! Hey have you seen or talked to Andrea lately? I haven't seen her on for a LONG time. Please send her my best if you talk with her. Glad to hear your blood work was Ok. I get mine done in a couple months and I'm nervous. I hope all is okay. I'm battling constant bladder infections. I had one last month and this week. It's not really an infection though - my ph is 10 and normal people are at 6-7. ??? I just have to pee all the time and it hurts before I go but not during. Weird? Jen
