and congrats on 100 days clean!!! yeeehah!!!
Girl I just wanted to tell you how much I admire you positive mind frame. Keeping our goals is sooo important! Thanx a lot. xoxoxo. sophie.
Thanks for the support goodnight read you all tomorrow
Tough at 100 days clean...really...the fear i felt from ur post is well founded...altho fear doesnt help us too much cos u have no control over this cept picking a good surgeon etc...u will be in my prayers girl!
u will make it thru this..my dad had one kidney and does fine...women have strength that men can not understand..it is different than a mans strength..but women have staying power..when puch comes to shove..women in general are the stronger of the sexes! sorry all u guys out there!
Planning//like u have/u plan to stay in touch...100 days is probably long enuf to be ok with narcs post-op...it will be the pills they rx u at home that will be ur challenge...do what u need to do to control ur pain tho...give urself a break here? K? have hubby hold them but dont let urself suffer to the point u feel like relapsing..controlling pill intake is hard for any addict...much less an addict in pain..sometimes surgery these days can be much less painful than expected..just do the best u can
You have enuf on ur plate with this tumor without worrying bout relapsing too...one day at a time..baby steps...make a plan to cover the addiction inside u..and u will knowwhen it is ruling ur brain vs pain control...it is a different feeling...u will know..and i feel in my bones u will do this..anyone with as much going on as u have who is worrying bout relapse...wants cleandom very badly...and u will have it..cos u want it deep deep down inside
keep us posted K?
I am sure this is weighing heavy on your mind right now. It is the fear of the unknown so i would be pulling out my hair waiting for it to be over!!! That will be great that you will be able to stay in touch with us. Rollerderby?? Oh good lord, i cant even rollerblade!!! Seems like a long way to fall and with my hip being shot i could only imagine how many years i would be in traction!!!!!!!!! LOL
Ya for about a week but I plan to bring my iPhone so I Can stay in touch with people here. I am totally looking forward to it being over. I have a goal to be doing rollerderby 6 months from now clean and sober of course
80% chance of it being cancer? and losing a rib? I hope and pray everything turns out good.....you will be in the hospital for awhile wont you?
worried 878 I am having what is called a nephrectomy to remove a tumor that has
an 80% chance of cancer I will loose a rib and half a kidney and maybe some lymp nodes in the surgery. Good news is it shouldn't reduce my kidney funtion much.
Thanks Sara I think you are right busy is the key! I may even tackle this huge pile of knee deep laundry ughhhh.
100 day is over the 90 day hump...but just barely..have a plan if u need pain pills post-op..what type of kidney surgery r u having?
Congrats on 100 days!!!! That is great. Try and stay busy for the next few days if you can......that will help with the stress of surgery coming up. Keep posting and stay strong sara
