Question:
Dear All, Okay..just found out I do have to be intubated for the surgery tomorrow. I hate that as the tube really irritates my throat and I am hoarse for days. I am starting to freak out…I am very scared. The post op period is going to be very painful due to the actual surgical procedure that will be done on both breasts! Since I will be zonked out for a couple of days on pain killers, I won’t be posting but I would love to receive email if any of you would be so kind to send some. My SO will print them out and bring them upstairs to my bedroom for me to read. My pdoc called today since he is worried about me. My depression is worsening and something has to be done. I will see him next Tuesday. I don’t know if we will try Celexa or add another MS like Topomax (which I have but never took) or Lamictal. I am only taking Neurontin now. Historically, ADs do not work for me <sigh>. I gained 2 pounds..yeah!!! My blood work and EKG are fine but they lost my urine sample so I had to drink loads of water, wait for 1 hour and then pee again today while I saw my medical doctor. I swear where the hell is the original sample? I gave it directly to the lab tech last week. Another thought is I hope my results were not given to another patient. Geez!!!! Sooooo….I am asking you all to pray for me as I am worried about tomorrow. Take care and be well. I will try to do the same. Love and peace, — Reach beyond your grasp!

I’m sorry to hear that! Seems like there ought to be another way these days. >I am starting to freak out…I am very scared. The post op period is >going to be very painful due to the actual surgical procedure that will >be done on both breasts!
Don’t be reluctant to ask/demand plenty of pain meds! You deserve it! >Since I will be zonked out for a couple of days on pain killers, I won’t >be posting but I would love to receive email if any of you would be so >kind to send some.

Be sure and rest and sleep as much as you can. If there’s a TV&VCR in your bedroom, how about some videos you’ve been meaning to watch? Some good books from the library? Please don’t worry about the BP NGs!!! >My pdoc called today since he is worried about me. My depression is >worsening and something has to be done. I will see him next Tuesday.

Considering that you are going to have surgery, I don’t know what to recommend. Celexa has the reputation of having the fewest adverse reactions of the SSRIs– but with your past sensitivity to ADs, I don’t know what to say. >I gained 2 pounds..yeah!!!

You got it! But try not to worry! Worrying never did anyone any good! >Take care and be well. >I will try to do the same.
You give it your best shot!!! >Love and peace,
Many blessings and hugs from, James PS I just remembered the info you wanted me to send. I’ll try to round it up while you are recuperating.

Hi kathryn, The surgery was successful. Thank you for thinking of me. How are you doing? Yours, — Reach beyond your grasp!

Lynda, One special prayer for Lynda, piping hot, coming right up. God, Spirit, you know better than anyone how hard Lynda is trying and how difficult it has been for her. Please watch over her during her surgery and during her recovery. Help her to remember that the surgery may bring her down a little, so if she feels that not to worry. Let her know that she is very important to many people, and that we are all connected to her in a web of warmth and care. -Gandalf
