Worried, scared and need advice...

Gina another thought I had was, don't be afraid to call and check in with the docs and nurses often too. Sometimes we want to wait until our next appt., and a quick call can ease our fears too. Hugs, Lisa

 

Sparrow ~ thank you.. there is nothing anyone can do, time is all i need to heal and patience, i just have to get that thru my head (no pun intended!) it's just hard cuz I don't feel the best and I'm still dizzy/off balance, etc. but I am trying to hang in there, being back to work is good but I find that I cant make it longer than the 4 hours so that is very frustrating... then trying to wean off the valium which isn't going so well but I keep thinking about what Bergie and Mari posted and I need to get off the med if I want the VNS to do it's job, it's just that when I do cut back on the valium I can barely make it thru work and I can't take any more time off than I already have...... grrrrrrrrrr

Lisa ... yes I have called my doctor's office and left a message with the nurse... haven't heard back but with it being a Holiday week I know how busy doctor's offices are because I work in one! so i'm really trying to be patient. I have a follow up on 1/12/07 so i'm hoping to get some of my questions answered then... as far as my recovery goes, am i where i should be... and to reassure me that there isn't anything wrong. I just don't understand why I still feel as lousy as i did 2 weeks ago, unless of course the recovery is slow because of the valium... anyway... i just have to figure it out and take it one day at a time. thanks for your advice though, i appreciate you thinking of me.

(((((Gina hugs))))) it is a quandry what to do, isn't it... to take the valium or not. Those are very good points by Bergi and Mari, I agree. I wish there was something I could do to help you, I wish I had a crystal ball.............

Love and hugs,

Sparrow
