Gallbladder problems

[JanW]

I often say that the best thing to happen with my WG was the saddle nose. Only a handful of conditions can cause it, and it is dramatically noticeable to doctors (for me, not so much for the general public -- I've got freckles and dreadlocks and have a lot going on with my face/head). Vs. something like windpipe obstruction, it really can't be mistaken for much other than an AI disease, primarily WG, sarc or relasping polychrondtritis -- and of those three, only sarc is more common than wegs.

Even with that, I read about a case on the VF website where a cocaine abuser was misdiagnosed as having WG because of his collasped nose--so you never know!

Oh Elephant... big hugs coming to you. I'm a little flimsy, but I think I could fling my arms around you!

Elephant,
Wish I could send you my oldest daughter who lives with me, she is obsesive about keeping our house clean. I'll send you light and energy instead, knowing you really need a housekeeper and a few days of respite for yourself.

Oh elephant, this is so dramatic, I can't even try to make you smile! Is there any way you can get help? Up here we can call health authorities and I am sure you would be considered an emergency! Not like when you do it yourself but a very good help. Out of hugs at the moment, shared them with my neighbour angel who came over to get a hornet out before the cats eat it and get stung in the throat, but already reloading so.....

What are health authorities, Moyan?

Hi Sangye, hope you feel a bit better now, that would be the right trend.
Now I am in deep water, but it is the government/city office that organises home support, handidart, some eonomic support. That is all I know, never nee ded anything until WG and the hospital and home nurses (they too are under health) arranged everything for me. Maybe another name in US

I told my inlaws that their 44 year old daughter ( no children) can help out. I already told her that she is going to take her father back and forth to the hospital and basically said, " I have two kids to take care of." I see my surgeon tomorrow and ask him about my activities and what I have done. blah , blah...I will stay strong and that's all I can do.
Thanks so much for all of your support, it means the world to me!

[Sangye]

I'm proud of you for standing up for yourself! I hope you haven't hurt yourself with all this activity.

Hi elephant, maybe today is the day you can sit back and read a book, watch TV, order a pizza and eat a strawberry/vanilla donut

[elephant]

Oh how I wish Moyan. My sister in law missed your flight and then it got delayed. So she decided not to come. So I have been running around all day and need to go to the hospital to see her. Hoping tomorrow is better!
