not hopeless any more....just well confused

I went to see my surgeon today well one of them at least. After discussing my hernia and pain we decided to wait till June or July to fix it. Apparently my body is not thick of enough to handle the stitches that were put in me. I am confused as to why me. But at the same time I know the answer. If my life was suppose to be easy it wouldnt be mine. For me this is not a complication just another bump in the road for me....Its not another 6 weeks of recovery its another 6 weeks of discovery. Its another time to help others and give them what I can.
So my hope and joy is coming back ......
hugs to those who need one... and good thoughts to all...
BTW T thank you!!!!!! I just loves you

I am sorry that you are having so much trouble but as usual you have such a great out look on things. What kind of quiltling do you do? I am not sure if she still has it but my mom went througj a bunch of her old material awhile back and was going to get rid of a bunch if you want I will see if she has it left.

i do classic quilting to machine... I have a bunch of patterns that are really old to new ones..but I like the odies the best...
I would love to have the fabric. I make baby quilts for the hospital so any and all material is appreciated...I am designing a quilt for the docs at OWLO

Everything happens for a reason sweetheart! And its best that you wait so that things dont go wrong.  You are strong and I am proud of you for being stong and keeping as positive as you can.  We are all here for you. 

hugs

thank you! I could go back to have it before then but..I have learned that I need at least 4 months between surgeries to heal and with my legs being done I also want to lose the weight to get to goal...Maybe by September I could wear a swimsuit and not look like cottage cheese

Hey Peppermint Pattye!! I hate to hear that, but you are definately workin the positive attitude about it...good for you girl. Oh BTW.....we loves u toooo

I swear you folks are talking to people from my past to be getting my nicknames...LOL
Jazzy i told my surgeon to day cause she got depressed over the hernia...we haave to look up....maybe I am suppose to have this again so maybe you can develope a new way of fixing this so if someone else has it you got the problem solved....

Now that is a switch the patient cheering up the doctor.

lol thats my job...it just bothered her that I am ahving to have another surgery....

Pattye~ As your fellow complication queen here on the board, I am sorry to hear they are putting off the hernia surgery til July, but they probably do know what they are doing (whether we feel like admitting it or not LoL).  I know I have everyone of my doctors telling me they don't want to see me have any more abdominal surgeries, then in the same breath, they talk about hysterectomy.  What if they aren't able to do it laproscopically?  I'm just screwed with all the scar tissue on my stomach.  I've had too many surgeries post-RNY and I'm tore up.  I feel your pain, I really do.  You've done amazing though and you're certainly a hero and inspiration of mine.  *hugs*
