Thanks Blondie . It helps to hear someone else had a good outcome .
Thanks Shamus - I just need to keep really busy the next two weeks .
I get really anxious and I internalize it all . Today at the Dr appointment my blood pressure was 170/80 ,and that was after my BP medicine ! Pure anxiety .
I don't care anymore .
James - I am sooo jealous We LOVE Lyons ! We visit our son in Longmont every year .
Magwitch - Our son works in Boulder .
Next summer we should plan a mini aposta fest ,I know several others are in your area too.
I had all of my children (3) by c-section ,the old fashion kind . So I know the pain I am in store for . I just abhor going under ,it feels like I am going to die .
I have three part-time jobs with no paid leave so that weighs on my mind . My husband is great and will be a help to me .I have a couple of friends that have already volunteered to help out too .
It;s just the whole process of having your insides removed ,the uncertainty as to what they will find ,and the chance it could end up a complete hysterectomy (something I am dead set against ) I hate feeling like I have no control over what will happen once I am out .
This past month I have had alot of pain . During the CT scan I had an allergic reaction to the contrast dye ,they had to rush me back to ER and give me benydril .
I wonder how others have felt after having an ovary removed ? Did you have mood swings ? Or anything I should be aware of ...
So any of you JWN ladies that have been through this want to lend some words of wisdom my way ,I would appreciate it . So far all the cancerous screening tests have come back normal ,but they wouldn't know for sure until it is out . I am asking for minimal organ removal ...I hope that is the right decision .
I have a large complex cyst on my ovary . The Doctor I saw today said I am not a candidate for the laparscopic surgery because of previous scar tissue . So I will have open abdominal surgery ......really scared .
in 1979 my mum was studying and came to the meeting in a womens suit with pants/slacks.
she was told by her teacher not to wear pants to the meetings only dresses.
well, my mother never wore pants again....ever!
Cause they are idiots ! and a cult ....pant hating cultists ...
I do live in an area where winter is freezing .I use to wear pants under my long winter coat with the legs tucked into my snow boots so no one could really know . I still had comments of how this could stumble someone ,but I have always had a stubborn streak and did what I wanted anyways .
I always thought it was alot of nonsense "no pants ' for women . We use to have these two sisters in the early 1980's that loved a nice pantsuit . Both were in their 70's and would be chastized by our 30 yr old book study conductor for wearing the pantsuits to BS. It got so bad they would give local need talks about it I think they got some reproval for it eventually just for direpecting the Elders counsel . Those ladies were so liberated ,I never understood why they wanted to be Witnesses ...
last month i got word that a witness i had known had died suddenly.
i hadn't spoken to her since my disfellowshipping six years ago, but we had been good friends.
upon learning of her death, i wrote a letter of sympathy to her fleshly brother, also a witness, who had been a good friend of mine as well.
Quendi , I know what you mean . All you can do is feel pride in YOUR conduct because you did the right thing . My husband keeps telling me no matter how soicially inept the witnesses are HE will always do what he feels is right in matters like this . Just a few weeks ago I learned my brothers wife lost her Father . It made me sad they did not call ,but I sent out sympathy notes to them and their daughter . I have to let it roll off like water on a ducks back ,and honestly feel sorry for them . In this life precious memories are made when we let others love us ,their stubborness deprives them of this love .
i haven't been on this site for a long time.
the other day, though, i was remembering my early days of posting (since 2004) and ones i had corresponded with..... so many wonderful people who have contributed their opinions on this forum, and sent good wishes to others throughout the years.
some i've noticed still post at this forum.
Yes i remember Ian also . I joined in 2005 and he was a kind voice when I felt so afraid . His family sounded so kind .
Juni I remember you too ! Hope you are doing well .
