  Update on my surgery, biopsy, etc

  by asleif_dufansdottir in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i had my colonoscopy and hemorrhoid surgery yesterday (sorry if that's oversharing but it's easier just to say what type of surgery up front ;) ).. the prep for the colonoscopy was difficult, i couldn't have anything but clear liquids the day before, in addition to special stuff you have to drink to, as grandpa would have said, "clean you out good", and not even water yesterday.

  that was difficult because my check-in time was so late (2 pm).

  that was made even worse when i got back to pre-op and the nurse said my doctor was running 2-3 hours behind due to a particularly difficult surgery that morning (just what i wanted, last surgery of a hard day!!).

  Thanks for the update. Those preparations for the colonoscopy are the pits!!!! But it's good that it wasn't cancer. My mom years ago had a fistula near her rectum. Extremely painful surgery. Is that the same as a fissure? I know a fissure is a tear.

  Yeah. Perhaps your husband was upset........ actually I don't want to comment on his behavior cause I might say something I'd regret later. I'm sure if it were he that had this going on he'd want your bedside support. Am I right?

  Anyways. ........There has got to be another painkiller besides Percocet which is pretty strong. Something that won't make you vomit as that isn't keeping the pill down or doing your incision any good either.

  God I feel for you. Are you supposed to at some time take a sitz bath (lower your bottom in warm water) for pain relief?

  I remember after having my first baby who was over 9# they had to make a much longer episiotomy cut and that sucker WAS SORE.

  Perhaps PM MsMcDuckett. She's a RN or else Merfi. She also is a nurse. They could give you some tips to relieve the pain.

  Hugs with love to you. By the way, I wouldn't worry about the anal sex questions. These things happen for whatever cause.

  Thanks Danny for the latest! Whew! That's hot - released 21 minutes ago. Man you're quick!

  They are so full of it........... let's see......they have the date pushed out to 2013 for conventions.

  I hope more people will wake up to what is going on w/this organization. That carrot has to be shriveled up by now and all moldy.

  Can't have kids while working at Bethel? This is like Anti-family right?

  by NotaNess in

  i found out about this a couple years ago.

  it was one of those shockers, that is just hard to accept when you hear about it, when you're not in the "truth".. i posed the question, "why can't they just have a daycare system setup.

  seems that would be a standard setup", but one witness from bethel told me "cause it's not the responsibility of the organization to raise our kids".

  I have to disagree w/you notaness. On the surface it perhaps seems "unfair". But think about it......

  I'm glad they have this policy as I don't believe it's a healthy environment to raise children. It's already tough raising kids while a JW. They are expected to act like little adults, no worldly friends, etc.

  Can you imagine living at Bethel w/your children who would be under Mother's microscope more so? I mean ----- "we have to make a good impression w/the world and set the "perfect" example" would be their mantra.

  I noticed from reading 5th generation's post about his daughter's b/day that you also have a 10 year old daughter. I raised 4 (3 boys, 1 girl) in the organization. There is no way in h*** that I would want to submit them to such a regimented lifestyle w/all that goes along with it.

  Do you know what I mean? Brings to my mind these religious communes w/kids involved.

  Just a thought.

  it's been a nine year battle, but i'm finally graduating from college with a bachelor's degree and a certificate.

  it's important to me that this community knows that.

  there are probably a lot of you here who didn't allow themselves to go to college.

  After reading many topics.. I'm confused. Is this a JW forum or an ANTI-JW?

  by MichaelM in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm studying with a jehovah's witness and it makes quite a bit of sense but i've been reading many topics on here and it seems that i can find every christian denomination and every religion except jehovahs witnesses.

  do any jw's actually browse here?

  maybe i'm just getting unlucky and picking the wrong topics where everyones discussing about how they used to be jw's.

  YOUR DAILY JOURNAL

  by compound complex in

  dear friends,.

  much of what we do on a daily basis is routine and of no particular, earth-shaking importance.

  however, after reviewing letters of family going back to wwii, it is fascinating to read what dad was doing on board the aircraft carrier in the pacific on any old day, what mom was cooking on her ever-steaming range, how i was dealing with the roller coaster of emotion at bethel [mom saved all my letters], how nana wrote that she would not study with the witnesses [per my request] but 'here are some mittens i knitted for you when you canvass new york with your magazines.
