Just a quick note

Just a quick note to say hello to everyone....My cousin is at home and doing good...As for me I am learning to deal with the pain a little better and have been scheduled to see a neurologist on the 25th of this month... the MRI only showed some very small spots on the frontal lobe of my brain....I took a new type of tetanus shot a couple weeks ago that has pertussis in it for my job and my doctor said that is what could have caused me to have an increase in symptoms in the last two weeks....he told me that pertussis can aggravate any type of neurological symptoms a person may be having....He put me on Neurotin at night for 14 days and then I will start taking it twice a day and he will continue to increase the dosage as the appropriate....Just keep me in your prayers and I am sure that I will get pass this also...It is just saddening to me sometimes because I had the WLS to help my health and now I feel I am falling back to where I was before surgery with my health...Not my weight, it is still gradually coming off but one reason is, that when I am in pain I just don't care to eat or if I do I get sick.... To everyone who is waiting for their surgery good luck and always remember, "If God brought you to it, He will bring you through it....." This is a scripture that I am living by every single day.....And to all of you that are on the loser's side keep up the good work.... To a very special someone....My mom (luvbinganana) I am so very proud of you and your accomplishments....I can not wait until you get your date and you know I will be right there by your side like you were for me.....To everyone who does not know my mother is going to have her surgery soon.....and when I had mine she spent two full nights with me in the hospital and slept with me in the same room....She is a wonderful woman and I don't know what I would do without her.....When I came home from the hospital I stayed at their house and she made sure I had everything I needed to be comfortable....I LOVE YOU MOM..... God bless to everyone and their famililies........ Rachael Medinger

Well, it is taking me a few minutes to wipe away my tears....What a sweet daughter you are! I am truly blessed to have my family..I know I can be difficult sometimes, but it is just that I love you guys so much. I worry about you...Keep the faith and remember: Joshua 1:9 NKJV. "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." I love you my precious daughter. Love Momma

Rach: So glad to hear the Neuro put you on the Neurontin, I was on it for over 5 years, and it did help! Please keep us posted....we want to hear you are doing better... You and your mom have a special bond. My mom was there for me during my temporal surgeries, and I for her Hyster. Now, she will be with me again, for the WLS. Peace be with you! S

Rachael Hey sweeite, Sorry that you still in so much pain. I am glad that they are finally sending you to a specialist. To see if they can get to the root of the problems tho. How is the Neurotin working for you?? Is it giving you any kind of relief from the pain?? Good news about your cousin's recovery and mother's up coming surgery. When you read your post you can see and read how much you love her in your words. I am sure that means the world to her also. Your in my prayers all the time. Keep his words close to your heart and always know that he is walking with you every step of the way. If there is anything we can do please let anyone of us know. God Bless Melissa
