Lady Amy of York back in hospital

[captmarga]

Had  the biopsy  done. Now  we  just have  to wait  for  the  results.   hate  waiting.

I have   a hormone  condition  called  Poly Cystic  Ovarian  syndrome  (  why i had such  a hard  time getting pregnant,  and  when i  did,    almost lost  me  and  the  baby,  and  also  why i  now  have   diabetes),and   my menstrual   cycles  have  never been regular  since  my  son was born,  and    the last 2   i had  significant blood loss  .
So because of  the blood loss, my history of  PCOS,  and  the  severe anemia  i  have  all of  a sudden despite  being on the  iron supplements,   the  doctors  today  felt it  would  be  very beneficial  for  my health, if  i have a  complete  hysterectomy  done.

     The  plans  are to have  it  done  some time  next month. Suppose  to call me  later  this  week  to schedule.   They  want  my blood  count  to improve  first.

I pray  that the hysterectomy  is   will relive  alot of  my  symptoms  if  not  all of  them.  The  doctors  seem to feel it  will make  a great improvement in  my health.


so for now, sit and  wait,  and  try  to remain  focus  and  calm,  etc....   

Greetings Lady Amy - we have never met, but we are sisters in this!  I too had many of the things you described.  I had a hysterectomy four years ago - and I've never regretted it for one single moment!  It was the best elective surgery I've ever had.  I hope it will help you as it did me and many of my other "sisters".

I will be thinking of you !!!

Waiting for the results is difficult, hope you have news soon.

[Lady Amy of York]

The  results of  my biopsy  were negative  !   So  that is  good  news. 

I am still on bedrest   to build up  my  iron  count,  red blood  cells  and  immune  system.

I  am still getting  the  twitches, and  shakes,  and  dizziness,   and  fast  pulse  rate  and  keeping  my  fingers  croosed  that it   all  being  caused  by  the  anemia  and hormones, and  will  diappear  sometime  after  the  surgery.

My feet are geeting worse  with  the  numbness, and  my vision is getting  worse  and i hope  they are both tied  in  with  the  anemia  and  hormones, but  i  am also  a  dibetic,  although my  sugar levels   have  been  fine  and  the  doctors  have  ben pleased    with  my AC!  tests  i have  to test  my   glucose.   
My family  doctor  thinks  i should  see  a neurologist,  but  as  we know i have  liitle  sucusss   down  that  path.    Nope  i  shall  wait  and  see  what  results  my  surgery  bring  me  next  month.

In  the  mean time, i'm hanging in there.  Some  days  are better  then  others.    But i am  thinking postive,  and hoping   that  there is  a  end  to this  tunnel (  a  good  ending )  soon.

[lordwriothsley]

Amy as always you remain in my thoughts and prayers my dear. Keep on having the faith and keep on fighting the fight cause like you said hopefully there will be light at the end of this tunnel which I believe in my heart there will be.

Hugs and love to you as always lass.

Just an update on how i am doing.

Earlier last week i  thought, that i was  finally making  some  progress. I was able  to get up and  walk around  the house  without  feeling like i  was  going  to pass  out.  I  was happy  to be able  to  get out  of  my bedroom.

But   then   last Thursday night  I  woke  up shaking  all over.  My head, face, arms  , legs.  It lasted   for  about a half hour, and afterwards  my left  side felt  numb.     It was   2  am in the  morning and i really  did not want  to  go  to the local ER, especially   how i  don't care  for  the service  there.   and it  is  a hour and half  drive  to  the Oswego hospital where my  new  doctor is that i  am seeing. 
 
So  i eventually fell back  to sleep, but  the next  day  i  had  two more tremor  episodes,  and  unfortunately , it seems  to be  the  daily  regime  here. atleast  a couple  times   aday i start shaking  all  over.

I looked up tremors  on  the internet  and in my health books  and     the info i have  come  acroos  so far  has  said  either neurological,    MS( which they thought i had at one  time ),  Parkinson's ,   a  chemical imbalance ( which could  be  a possibility ),  exposure  to  lead  or  mercury, an adrenal gland  problem, or  a thyroid  problem ( which i have  question before  and  asked  doctors  before  to test  my throid, but  they  tell me  they have  done  the basic  tests  and it was  fine.  But i know  there are more  advance  tests.)


I  have  not called  my family  doctor, cause  the lat  time i saw him, he  told me he  felt  that  my symptoms  were above  his  expertise  and that i nedded  to  see the neurologist here. i refuse  to  go back  to neurologist here after he  neglected  to tell me  about  the  tumor   i had  on my  spine,.



so i see  the  new  doctor  i am seeing,  The  GYn  doctor  this  Thursday  for  a pre-screening  before  my  surgery  next week, so i will bring  it up  with  him  then.  Never  a dull mooment a round  here.
In  the  mean time i am  trying  to keep focus  and  spend  time  reading  , and  watching  tv   with  my  son, but i have  to admit   these  tremors  are  a big  pain  in  the  you  know  what !! Right now  as i am  tyrping  this i have use  of  my hands( knock  on wood )  but  my face  and head  keep jerking.  Ugh !!

[lady serena]

Amy call your GYN doctor because he may want to see you today, I would not wait to get in and see him if you don't have to. Good thoughts and prayers are headed your way.

[Lady Amy of York]

Amy call your GYN doctor because he may want to see you today, I would not wait to get in and see him if you don't have to. Good thoughts and prayers are headed your way.

Thanks  Serena. i  did call, and he   not in today. so i will see him tomorrow, and tell him what is  going on with  me, and see what he  has  to say.

I also  got  to the hospital  for  lab  work and  a EKG, and  pre-surgery tets,  so i can talk  to them there too.

This (  the  tremors  and  fast  pulse  rate  ) better not postpone  the surgery  cause i  just  want evrything  done  and  overwith.  I  am  so tired of all of  this.  I loked at my son yesterday  and he  was being very  quiet  for  some reason. I  asked him  what was  wrong  and he  starteed  to cry  and  told  me  he   did not like  mommy being  sick. So praying  this  is  all over  soon, and  i  finally  find  a cure, or if  not a cure, atleast a treatment  or  solution that will along  me  to get on with  my  life  and  live  it  the  best that i  can.

thanks  again  for  the  prayers.

Amy, we're keeping you in our thoughts and prayers.

[white trillium]

We're thinking of you and your family.  We hope you get some good news soon.

[Lady Amy of York]

Well it has been a crazy two days  here.
 
It started Wednesday evening. One of my dogs  ( the one who was diagnosed with cancer last year, but so far as been beating all the oods  and proving the  doctors  wrong )  started not drinking  and  eating. Then she started to shake  and  act very incoherent.   My husband  and  I thought she  was on her way  out, and i was  like" No, please no. I don't need  this  right  now. I'm not ready to say goodbye  to her yet."

Then we noticed  one of our other dogs, the puppy  kept  going and  drinking out of  the  toilet. she has never done  this  before. But we just scolded her and thought, oh great, she has picked up  a new  habit.  But  then all three  dogs   started drinking out of  the toilet.

so then my husband  and i checked their  water bowels  and  they were all full.  None of  them had drank any water all day.

So we  poured the water out of  the bowels,  and gave  them fresh water  . all three  really gulped it down, like  they had been out in a dry desert.

after having water, the one  dog was  fine. But it was e nogh  to shake us up  for  abit.

so  don't know w hat is up. we are on artisian weel water, and we just had  the  water tested reently and it was fine, sowho knows  what the  dogs  detected.


then about a hour  later  we  get  a call  from  my  brothern'law  and   my 82  year old mother  n  law  is  going to have  open heart surgery  sometime  this  weekend, casue  her one  heart valve  is  totally  close..The  doctors have only bben after her  for years  now  to get the heart valve  taken care of, but she is  so stubborn,  so  now she  has  no choice  in the matter cause it is  totally  close.


Then yesterday i went  for  my pre-surgery tets, and my blood pressure  was  very high. i told them hospitals   will  do that  to me. i  don't like hospitals. i have had  tow  many tets,a nd  surgerires, that i just  dont like  hospitals. but they were all concern  and  said  they might have  to scrub/postpone  the surgery unless i get  an okay  from the  doctor  who handles  my  blood pressure.

i was  like"  wonderful, now  what !".


so i went today  to my family doctor.  i  saw  a new  doctor   who  just started there. i really liked him,  so maybe i  will switch over to him  as  my family  doctor.  anyway, he increased  the  dosage of my one blood pressure  emdication  untiol  i have  my  surgery,  and  he okayed me  for  surgery.

also talked about my tremors. not sure  what could be  causing them, but knock on wood, they have not ben too strong  today or yesterday,
so evrything is  good  to go.

so i will go up to oswego on Tuesday, and  stay overnight at  ahotel, cause i have  to be  at the hospital by 6:))  wenesday morning, and  my surgery is  at 8 am.
i am suppose  to be ona clear liquid  diet monday and  tuesday, so i will have  to bring a thermos  of soup  with me  to the hotel. Hmmmm...wonders is  rum or  wine is  considered a clear  liquid ?   JUST kidding !!!

[Rani Zemirah]

Amy dear, I'm thinking of you and sending all of the healing energy and positive thoughts I have for a successful surgery and a rapid recovery.  Take care, hon, and feel better soon!!!

[lordwriothsley]

Amy,
There's an old saying that goes "When it rains it pours" and boy does it ever, but in this case you can't let it get you down because as you see you still have and are continuing to have people pray for you and send you good thoughts as well. As I and everybody else have said before please continue to take care of yourself and not overdo it.

As always you still remain in my thoughts and prayers dear sister. Hugs and lots of love to you as always lass.

[Lady Amy of York]

Thanks everyone. I'm hanging in there and thinking positive and keeping the faith.


 Could  you guys  say an extra prayer for my husband Tim.   His mom  did not make it thru the surgery, and passed away yesterday.  We got  the phone call  early this morning. He has yet  to cry, or  anything. He is keeping it all inside of him, and i am concern.  I know he is uspet cause he has not seen her in two years and that he  did not get to say goodbye. But  evrything happen so fast.

[lordwriothsley]

Consider it done Amy. Tim and his family are in my thoughts and prayers at this time.

[lady serena]

Im sorry for your loss, prayers headed your way.
