I know that it has been years since I have been on here but I need HELP!  If there is anyone out there that can help with that unearthly smell....  have tried "just a drop" and devrom... with not much luck.... what will it take to get rid of this embarrassing odor....

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!!

OK…. I would like to say THANKS to EVERYONE for all the emails of encouragement, well wishes, welcoming to the LOSERS side, love and PRAYERS.  You will never know just how that touched my heart… being a part of the OH family is indeed as blessing.  MUCH LOVE AND THANK YOU!!!!!   

So here we go…. today makes 3 weeks since my surgery and with a little more energy I am ready to give you all the details.

I arrived at the hospital and was taken immediately to the back to be prepped for my procedure, while getting the third degree on my medical history which for me was very long.  I was finally whisked away to the OR… I don’t remember anything till I woke in the recovery room and then nothing till the next day.  When I was finally coming back to myself they told me that the surgery took 4 hrs instead of the 2-2 ½ hrs because while Dr. V was operating he found that I had a hernia. A WHAT…What was that????  I was asking myself, then I asked a nurse and she explained it to me…whew!  I was almost going off the deep end.  So…. my pain was not that bad, I did however have (and still do) awful right leg pain and after they ruled out a blood clot with a Doppler test, I just had to wait to schedule an appointment with my neurosurgeon…. the drugs and the jello (I think) was making me nauseous and sick, and nothing was staying down, then I started to run a fever, pressure was up and down, soooooooo instead of coming home Wednesday evening, I didn’t get to come home till Friday afternoon.  The staff was wonderful through out everything…

Sooooooo now I’m home….was very, very, very tired in the beginning, but getting better now as the weeks pass, plus he gave me a B12 shot at my appointment which helped a lot.  Still not much pain besides the leg pain, which makes me want to cut it off at times…ugh.  Eating is going ok … just trying to find the right things that agree with me, that taste normal… my tasted buds have changed completely, one day something is good the next its not… go figure, but Dr. V says that is normal.  OK… so I went to my 1 week appointment (5/14/08) …..GREAT NEWS…. Dr. V said I was doing well and that my pressure was REALLY GOOOOOOOD, 120/68 and I’m down 14lbs …yipeeeeeee!!!!  Still concerned about my leg so I had an appointment on Thursday (5/15/08)…..well my neurosurgeon says that more than likely while laying on the OR table I popped a disc, which affected my sciatica, which is why I’m in so much pain, so at this point all I can do is endure the pain, since he can’t give me anything till I’m cleared by Dr. V, good thing I have a VERY, VERY HIGH tolerance for pain … otherwise I would be turning this world upside down…heehee. 

Weighed myself again on 5/19/08 Monday, and down 20.5lbs, won’t weigh again till next appointment, can’t make myself crazy…. I’m not scheduled for another appointment till 5 June 08…. Can’t wait!!! 

So that’s about all for now ... All is good and GOD IS WONDERFUL what else can I say!!!!

 LOVE, PEACE AND MANY BLESSING TO YOU ALL….
