I am so scared, I am actually shaking. I just heard from the Christchurch women's hospital/clinic. They have gone ahead, even though I cancelled the procedure for the laprascope of the ovarian mass, and schedule me for May 22, they said this way, it would be done before I left, and, they felt I really did need to see what was going on. I am petrified it is cancer, I mean, before, they did not care that I cancelled, but now, they do care. ( I had been on a 4 month wait-list, b...ut, they put me priority, that is why I am so scared, when they did not have me "priority" I felt they were not too worried.) I see them for a pre-surgery consultation on May 13th at 9:30am, that is when I can ask questions, etc. I am so rattled right now, I can not even think straight. I was so relieved to have cancelled it, now, I am scared again. The receptionist said they just do not know what that mass is and they want to find out. I know I was told that it may involve the removal of an ovary and fallopian tubes, possibly both sides. I thought it was just to be a laprascopic exam, but, it is turning out to be more, at least that is how it is coming across to me. I just do not know how much more stress I can handle. I am at my wits' end.

You're in my thoughts, I hope everything turns out okay for you Susie. Stay strong, it is hard I know, but things have a way of working out.

Hi folks, just a short note. I canceled the dang appointment, here is a letter that I wrote to them explaining why:

To Whom It May Concern:

I am still having strong doubts regarding the Laprascopic surgery for the right, adnexal mass. I have been under such extreme stress for the last three years; I am actually at my breaking point. I do not feel I can handle any more stress at this time.
I cry constantly, have mini anxiety attacks, my marriage is not good, we are in a financial bind, I am planning on moving back home to America but am having a difficult time in arranging that. I do not want to make my emotional status any worse by adding this surgery to it. I would not be entering into it with a positive attitude and I fear this would have some bearing on the outcome and the way my body handles the anaesthetic. As I have never been under anaesthetic before, I am also concerned as to how my system will react to it. I understand that some folks can react quite badly, I do not need that.

As to my health in general, it is OK, but, when under stress, my blood pressure goes high, it is normally low to normal, even after exercise, but, all this stress since discovering that mass, has caused it to rise when ever I am at your clinic. I would not want to be treated for hypertension un-necessarily. Since I have been in New Zealand (3 years), my depression has gotten worse, as have all my health issues. I have extreme bad back pain, due to herniated discs, hip pain which makes it difficult to walk at times, and chronic neck pain which causes headaches and dizziness from time to time. My chiropractor back home was able to help these issues, but, the ones I see here do nothing, so, these issues are getting worse. At one time, it was believed that I had fibromyalgia, but no tests were performed to rule that diagnosis out.

To be honest, at this time, I just do not want to go through with it, I just can not handle any thing else. It is going to be detrimental to my health. I just want to return to the states, regroup, get better, and then re-asses the situation, I should be thinking more clearly as well. At this point, I am definitely not thinking as clearly as I should.

I realize that I might be hiding my head in the sand, so to speak, but, it can’t be helped. I have to do what I feel best. I have filled out all the forms and am returning them, this way, they can be in your records should I decided to return to New Zealand around November for the procedure, this was actually my first plan, and I had told doctors that as well. As I said, however, I truly feel at this time, I just can not go through with it.
Thank you for your time and help

Please forward this to Dr Emma Jackson, she is the one, I am guessing, that is working with me, though I have never met her.

What kept ya from sleepin' well Ruth?

 

[RuthD]

I don't know Jimmy. I did have some wine coolers, not sure if they kept me awake.

Alcohol is a stimulant so I imagine that those coolers could be the culprit.

 

[Jimmy P]

Do ya have Chamomile Tea?

Another good thing is Valerian in a liquid form...

I've always been told it's a CNS depressant.

No tea. Valerian is good but not good for the liver if taken all the time. I took my sleeping meds last night and they worked. Thanks.

 

[RuthD]

Good afternoon everyone! Watching the Maury show. It's crazy as usual.

 

[Wandering Cat Lady]

Oh man, Maury show is nutty...I always wonder how people can be so crazy
