    Granny you are on my church's 2 prayer chains.. Hold on Granny!!!

    Thought maybe some GREAT NEWS on my front might make all feel better.. All my surgeries and LE Therapy bills have been covered 100% by my medical center!!! There definitely is a God.. We were down to our last penny and we got the news today.. Only covers the back bills not the future bills (sleep study is a question) but WOW..

    im here...Tori sent me a message to check in.Tomorrow is the big day.The day i have been waiting for...gosh its been so long having all this tummy stuff....i swear it all came back from the rads.Now i have a leaky valve with a murmur in the heart.when i asked the dr.if all this crap came from the rads his answer was there is not much evidence to prove anything....

    looks like Tori and I will need a pocket party at the same time!!!!!!my surgery is around 10am and hers is around 10:30....

    im takin my ipad with me...i hope ill be able to use it in a day or two.

    ptdreamers and GmaFoley....thanks for joining the pocket party today!  You two are too funny...I heard you being all crazy in there...and exactly when I needed a little comical intermission, you didn't let me down!  Thanks!  (the chocolate was so yummy too!)

    I opted for the 3D mammogram today...might as well get in with the up to date stuff...came back with the all clear on that one!  Yay! 

    MRI...yuck...have to wait a few days to get results on that one...I'm hoping and praying though that since the mammogram was all good, this one will be too!  I just hate waiting though...  

    GRANNY!!  Remember..I'm gonna be in your pocketbook!  I'm probably gonna be a little fiesty in there..wanting to come out and play, but I will hold myself back until after your surgery...love you lady!

    A flat out question for all - If I were to have a mastectomy, would that make the "chronic" nerve pain in my breast go away?

  • ptdreamers
    ptdreamers Member Posts: 639

    Good question GMAFoley. I don't know. I have wondered the same thing. My seroma is so uncomfortable and my ribs hurt so I wonder should I ask about a mastectomy to resolve the problem. I wonder though if we wouldn't be opening ourselves to other problems.

  • gmafoley
    gmafoley Member Posts: 5,978

    I think if I just take it off with no reconstruction, it would be ok ??

  • gmafoley
    gmafoley Member Posts: 5,978

    Ptdreamers - I will have to wait until Monday to call my BS over that question. He is gone until next week. - I am weighing all my options before just accepting I will be on pain drugs all my life.

    I'm back..alive and kickin.

    Fighting with the hospital about that damn bed that I told them when they called to let their mother sleep on it just for one nite.or bing it to prison.give it to the sex offenders.boy did I give her hell.so you know I'm beta.

    I do love all of you and I did feel each and everyone of you in different spots.

    god put us together for a reason.For me it's a lifesaver.
