A little relief

Posted by Kristi on September 5, 2001, at 12:56:01

Hi.... Me again,
Geez.... I'm back to work and still posting. I fell down the stairs last night... as I was falling I crossed my arms to protect my chest....and thankfully didn't screw anything up there... but I bruise my left side ribs pretty bad. It hurts like hell!!! On a good note.... it'll take away a little of the pain of the surgery.. cuz it predominant.

Anyway... I went to my doctor today for another post-op appt. He said everything's healing well.. this is very likely that this is my last surgery. I started crying right on the spot(felts like a real jerk too).. I still have to do my packing of the wound thing twice a day that sucks beyond belief. It is sooooooo hard to play with your own guts.

So the doctor told me he spent the last couple days(after the surgery and seeing all that was in their) reviewing my chart. He was completely stunned that I had been thru all this. He is fairly young(relatively to all the other doctors I've had)... maybe he hasn't been corrupted by money and power yet. He still has compassion. Anyway, he proceeded to tell me how strong I was, no one should ever have to do this... went on and on. He said he wants to take me under his wing.. watch over me till all this heals. I have a standing appt. with him every monday at 9:30 till it's over. He just wan'ts me to feel safe and know nothing else is going to go wrong. It has taken me years to have a doctor actual care???!!! Maybe he's trying to prove himself cuz he's so young.. but whatever, I'll take it!!!! And then he told me that after a year or two...... when all the healing necessary is done... he said... "you will be amazed at what I'm going to do for you." He said he's already started thinking about his reconstructive plan of attack. I'm so glad I found him.

I just wanted to share that possibly something good has happened. I'm easy, I'll take anything.

I went to work yesterday for the first day since quitting smoking..... it was sooooooooooo hard..... everyone smokes at work. (I work in a casino)....but I made it thru. I could not wait to leave tho. Besides the pain and that, what a miserable day. Get to do it again in a couple of hours. Oh well.

Hope everyone out there is doing ok and having ... at least a GOOD day...... Hugs to all

Ps.... I always want to add this to my posts.... but I forget. Sorry for all the spelling and grammar errors. I get to typing so fast..... and I try to go back and fix and seem to screw them up more. The normal delete and insert doesn't seem to work. It needs a spell check.
