Thanks selmaS.. I will try to have my fiancé update everyone. I'm pretty nervous
Hi Tara, thanks for letting us know......I hope u have someone that can post updates on ur progress....
Know we will keep u in our thoughts and prayers.
Hi! My name is Tara and I am scheduled for decompression surgery May 31 in Chicago Il with Dr Awad.
I am really paying for my trip to Philly last week to see my daughter graduate as NP. Of course I wouldn't have missed it for the world, but I got through it(all!) on sheer will power.
I'm sorry for your delay, but I'm glad that you'll be there for your daughter's review.
I've been trying everything lately--small meals, more salt, ice cream (to make my mouth happy), more coffee, less coffee, alcohol. Finally I took some Ritalin today (which I have for driving), and I actually got some relief, and I was able to cook a couple meals in advance. I had been playing a lot of solitaire & just looking at catalogs.
I presume "the dying feeling" is dysautonomia, although I'm not sure.
I think things worked out as u were worried about the review, now it is settled and u will be there...just take things slow and easy till then.
Praying this is the date no more delays : )
