Tucker checking in

Just came back from the my ENT two choices:

1. See a specialist in Minneapolis and have my left shunt redone

2 Check into hospital next weeks for a few days for bed rest and valium drip. Insurance ok this so I choose door number 2. Will probably check in on Monday.

I really don't want surgery again, they never put my ears on straight. I am beginning to look like Mr. Spock.

If it means every 6 months or so in the hospital for a valium fix then that is what I will do.

I take valium at home 5 mgs everyday, I am allowed up to 30mg but only for 3 days at that dosage. Lately I am at 15-20 mg a day and it is not really helping.

I have done the hospital stay before, and it really works well for me, clams that nerve down. But since I moved to Wisconsin, this Dr is a little concerned. Anyway he agreed with the hospital stay. I can't go til next week because he is out of town and wants to monitor me himself.

And you ready for this one??????!!!

My broken wrist hurts like hell, I can't bend it up or down or to the left or the right w/o pain.........so I go see that dr again tomorrow. Just my luck I rebroke it, It doesn't feel right if you know what I mean.

Thanks for all your concerns and thoughts and postings

Hi Tuck.. thank you for checking in... alot of us thinking of you. Where in Wisconsin do you live if you don't mind my asking? My ENT is in Wisconsin.. but in Milwaukee so I'm thinking you must be in another part.

I think you are making the right decision on going to the hospital to try to calm the nerve down with a valium drip... im sure it's got to be hard to be away from home and all but at least maybe you can get some relief for awhile... how long after they discharge you do you tend to feel "ok"?

Try to hang in there... it's tough.. and I can only imagine how you are feeling being that you are bi-lateral.. i can only thank god that it's unilateral for me at this time.

Best of luck to you.... and prayers.

OMG Tucker...please don't say you might have broken that wrist again!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Geez...what a year for you!

I know what you mean with the valium...I kept upping my dosage until it got to the point that something had to be done. Anyway this isn't about me!

Sweetie....I feel so bad for you! But, at least you will get your drip and feel better soon!!! Yea!!! This is enough already!!

HUGS!!!

Sorry to hear that you re-broke your wrist. I hope you feel better soon. :-*

 

Danny,
Sorry to hear about the wrist again!!!
I hope the hospital stay will help with your symptoms. Come back to SC, my ENT also does reconstructive surgery, so my ear that he worked on looks as good as ever. Even my stitches were pretty

 

darlin,
you take it easy!!! hopefully you will have
several beautiful nurses waiting on you hand
and foot ;D

 

Danny-

I'm so sorry you are going through so much. You know it has to be bad when you are actually looking forward to being in the hospital for a break from the symptoms.
Just remember this, I know this has affected your life beyond belief..... but in what you have suffered-- you have been able to educate others and give a better understanding about this horrible affliction. It could never be the purpose someone wishes for in life-- but my friend, you are making a HUGE difference for others.

Lots of love to you and healing thoughts
Di

 

Danny,

Hi Tuck, thanks for letting us know. I like to stick with things that have worked too, so I know what you mean! Knowing help is ahead is comforting....best of luck, Lisa (Good luck with the wrist)

 

Ouch! I am sorry to hear that you re-broke your wrist. That’s got to hurt.

I do not know why your burden has become so heavy. I wish there was something I could do to lighten it. I

send you uplifting thoughts and wishes for a quick and complete recovery. You are not allowed any more second breaks.

What a drip!!!! But this time, I hope it means something better for you - some relief ahead.
Man, so sorry about the wrist. Have you thought about body armor? Hang in there, thanks for letting us know what you'll be doing next week. Best wishes for you.

 

Yuck, not your wrist again.
Please feel better soon.

Man...I hope it's not broken again....hang in there.

 

Jeesh, Danny, sounds like Murphy moved in with you for awhile. You've just got to kick him out. Take care of yourself!

 

Hey Tucker,
You sound like you are having it bad right now. Hang in there and let us know about the wrist and the hospital stay.


Maggie

 

Awwwwwwwwwwww Danny so sorry that the wrist is giving you curry again, hope that its not cracked again...did you fall on it or knock it ???

I would be going with the number 2 option also and my thoughts are with all that it will send that bloody vestibuler nerve into la la land so it stops wrecking your life my friend

And remember what Di said...you have hepled heaps of us and our families and friends (and the medical commuity ??? ??? OK, only those docs without the g-d complex ) to understand this mongrel better

Hang in there darlin and please keep us updated :-*

I love Dr Spock ;D

Love Maggie

 

Danny,
I hope your wrist was not rebroken. I hope that you will feel better fast. Love your posts.

Sorry to hear all this Danny. Hey if the drip helps I'm for it. Surgery just isn't in my line of vision at this time. And hopefully the wrist is OK. As an x-ray tech I wish I could x-ray it for you.

Take care. You are a very special person!
