Update!!! NOT THE BAND!!!



Recommended Posts

What a terrible and miserable day you have had. I hope both of you can just make it through and not think about the cancer right now, until you know for sure. I do think that docs do the wrong thing in being so casual about mentioning it before they have the facts. My heart is with you and I sure hope you will catch us up as soon as you know something.

Thinking of you and your husband.

Dani

Hi Everyone,

Haven't posted for a few days. Went for my Dr's appt on Tuesday and they put me in the hospital. Pumped me full of antibotics and had a Bronchscopy on Wednesday. Had the greatest Doctors, after looking over the CT and the Bronchscopy they don't think there is any cancer. But we have to wait for the results, but they are all pretty sure that it is pnemonia with an abscess on my lung. Possibly caused by aspiration pnemonia. I will have to be on Antibiotics for long term possibly up to 4 months or longer.

Thank you all for your concerns, sorry I haven't been able to let everyone know how things were going. I really appreciate all your thoughts and prayers this certainly has been a very trying time. I feel that we have finally found the problem and I am on my way to recovering it is just going to take some time.

I can't thank you all enough for your prayers, I will keep you all posted. (((((((((((Kathy)))))))))))))))

Thats wonderful new Kathy,

Thoughts remain with you and I hope everything goes well.

Thank you so much for keeping us posted. I only asked the wife today if you had posted again and when we saw you hadn't I was concerned.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
