Title: If it wasn't for bad luck I would not have any !
Post by LadyElaine1 on Aug 29th, 2006, 2:35pm
I spent most of the night at the Hospital. A 10 minute cat scan (that my doctor should have ordered) showed kidney stones. Thats not the worst of it they found a mass on my adrenal Glan. I am now waitting on a referal from my doctor to a Urologious. Please pray its not cancer. I don't think I can go through that again. I hurt and I am scard!



Also pray for my computer its sick too.

Elaine, I am sorry, but you have exceeded your lifetime maximum of medical issues. Please return them from whence they came, and proceed with enjoying life!

All the vibes and prayers I have coming at you, girl, really...enough is ,..........ENOUGH!

You know how to reach me......or pm me if you'd like a call.

Sorry you have to go through such crap Elaine.

We're all thinking and praying that things will even out for you.....

Now. Don't read too much into this but proceed with some caution. I hate to say it but up here a LOT of unnecessary urological and other procedures are done. It's becoming a scandal. I'd get more than one opinion because of it. If you can, look around and ask lots of questions. Don't let them plow around until you are ready.

Hang on Elaine.

Charlie

Thanks Everyone.

The prayers helped with my computer we reformated the poor thing. Running great now. Dr. Deveny worked on it for me ;-)

I did the worst thing I could and got on the computer looking at just what the adrenal glan is. When I found about cancer I had all the signs, sweats, gaining weight in the trunk of my body, (and we all thought me gaining weight was a good thing) Round face. Yep I scard myself more reading that stuff. This gland effects the Heart, blood presure, harmons, all kinds of things.

My reg Doctor is giving me problems with giving me a referal.  Now instead of urologia I will be going to a Nephrology if I ever get my referal. You better believe I will get a second opinion, before I let them start taking things out. What makes me so mad is I been going to the doctor for two years complaining about the pain, they did nothing but give drugs, pain meds ect... I will be changing primary doctors as soon as this is over .

I am just venting sorry. I will be ok no matter what way things go. I just hate putting my family through all this crap again. Its harder on them than me. My daughter just took a new job, that means she can't take off any time. Buddy can't really aford to take time off either. Now is not the time for it all to happen.

Prayers and vibes from here have always been great, so I am sure all will be ok.

Thanks
Elaine

Post by Margi on Aug 30th, 2006, 10:39am
yep, E, I did that too after I read your post - got on the puter and read about adrenal stuff.  

But, you know....we're not 29 anymore, my friend.  The trunk weight gain, sweats, etc. CAN also be a symptom of menopause.  So don't assume that it's all adrenal stuff.

My father was told he had a mass on his pancreas a few months ago.  Went for the ultrasounds and then waited a few weeks to get in to see the doc.  Turns out it was nothing, perhaps a gas bubble that showed up on that ultrasound and it's nothing to worry about.

Maybe you just need to fart, honey.   ;;D

As always, you're in my prayers, TS.   :-*

My darling Lady E ...  I believe YOU and NancyC were the first clusterheads I ever met, in person .. It was in the parking lot to that restaurant, for our first NC, SC, Va, GA meet'n'greet .. Remember?

You have changed my life, dear.  I will never be the same.  You made me feel SO welcome!

We may go a period of time that we don't talk on the phone, but I think of you SO often.

My love, my prayers, and this HUGE cyber hug, is just for you!

HUGS !!

Chuck

Post by DonnaHar on Aug 30th, 2006, 10:27pm
You'd be surprised how many "things" our docs have seen on x-rays that turn out to be nothing like they thought they saw.  If you're like me, you think the worst...and when you do, it turns out not to be so bad.  If I don't worry, thinking it won't be serious, that's when it is serious.

So, my advise is to worry yourself sick (well, not literally), pray with all your might, stop self-diagnosing and eat lots of beans.

A Nephrologist is probably the right guy to see, but I'd still want that second opinion.

I'm taking you to my prayer chain.

Love you, Elaine.

Donna

Oy!  You think that you have problems?  I just found out that nobody loves me but my mother and she may be jivin' too!

Easy to say, but do try not to dwell on your situation, wait until the results come in and do follow the suggestions put forward by others to eat plenty of beans-they're good for your heart and the more you eat the more you f**t!  And eat lots of chicken soup-couldn't hoit!

Hoping that all turns out well,
Paul, the Bean Boy who, for some reason, has trouble keeping girlfriends.

Elaine, you have my prayers added.

I didnt read all the posts, so if this is a repeat, apologies.

Have you asked about ultrasound to break up the kidney stones?

Title: Re: If it wasn't for bad luck I would not have any
Post by LadyElaine1 on Aug 31st, 2006, 12:58pm
Chuck I will never forget that day either. You did as much for me, you and Nancy. I think of you guys a lot.
Life changes and I understand all to well. We would be on the phone 24/7 if we called everyone on this site we love and care for.

I still have not found a Doctor, been on the phone two days now. My Doctor hasn't found one either, at least I have not heard from her.

I am going about my kidney stone, fastest they can get me in is Wenesday. The pain is getting bad.  I take pain pills at night, but they don't seem to help a lot it takes the edge off.

OK we can play a game. Who can guess the day I will pass the stone?  ::)

Post by DonnaHar on Aug 31st, 2006, 2:36pm
Elaine......I've been trying to phone you on and off for a couple of months now, but all I get is a fast busy signal.

Have you changed numbers since we talked last?  

You might try calling some hospitals and ask for their physicians referral list......or go call the Chamber of Commerce to see if they know who to call.  A city the size of Atlanta has to have some sort of list of doctors and practices.  

I'm home and making some calls today to see if I can find that list, but I'd like to talk to you.

How about PMing me with your phone no?  I don't have to pay extra for long distance call.

Post by tanner on Aug 31st, 2006, 3:38pm

 Elaine, when I try to call the # you pm'd me I get a recording saying the # may not be connected yet [smiley=huh.gif]

Vibes and prayers are constant from just north of ya!!!!

Tomorrow I get my biopsy results and get to make some "quality of life decisions" so some of the posts today seem almost fate (what is the past tense of fate)???

I say you will pass em on Sat & Sun during football games!

2:00 est to be specific.....Tim

Paulc we love ya  ;)

Tanner and Donna sorry sent right phone number.

In the last few months I have changed the phone number twice, once because of to many calls at night for Buddy job, (they have a afterhours number) we were getting way to many calls between 12 pm and 7 AM.
Then the number they gave us, some guy we did not know in jail kept calling, we accepted one call and told him it ws a new number but he did not believe us and kept calling. I just had the number changed again.
Hopefully we will keep this number! I PMed both of you my new number!
