Pressure

Well, here I am again, trying to see just how
long I can wait before I go back to the doctor
with the pressure I am feeling on my right side
again. It will be 1 1/2 years since my last
operation which I had to have a kidney removed
due to adhesions. Not to bad I say. But still
quite tiring. I can never get ahead financially
or at work. Right now I am waiting to go
permanent at a company before I go to the doctor.
Sometimes I think it is unfair of me to expect
any employer to understand. But what can I do
for money? I have to keep going somehow.
I have lost all female reproductive organs,
appendix, bladder repair, kidney not to mention
numerous colon resections. I just wish this
would get easier and it just dosen't. Pain
gets to be horrendous after these operations
not to mention trying to recoop afterwards and
get my digestive tract going again.
Besides barriers and special surgical instruments
that Doctors can use to prevent these adhesions,
has anyone anywhere heard of another alternative?
Another way to prevent these adhesions from growing?
I thought a few years back after one of my
operations I had heard something about Germany have
a spray gel that they use when operating on persons
that get adhesions. I heard it was working but was
very preliminary.
Any doctors in Fort Worth that have adhesion
experience or even Dallas.
I am 90% sure this is where I am heading again
having already gone down this road quite a few times.
Besides the questions I am asking, I would also
like to show my support of this website and to any
individuals going thru the same thing I am. I have
read messages of people who have had 20+ operations.
this is amazing to me. I am barely handling going on
9. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help
support this website or the individuals utilizing it.
Maybe, just maybe, if I get involved helping people
with the same frustrating problem some good can come
out of even this.
Please let me know and God Bless.
