Post Worth having it done!

I would like to say to anyone considering having the pump done to really think long and hard as it is not and easy ride But if yiu do decide it is defenatly worth the ride at the end..

I Would like to thank personaly Linda1, Pixipoodle, Sharron, Kim, Crystal, waleylaker and anyone else i have forgotten to name, I could not have done this without any of you at all, You all helped me tremedously, You helped me when i was having doubts about this Pump at the very begginning, Helped me count down to the op itself and then continued to give me support and gave me all the infomation that you could to keep my mind sane..

Then when i had my trial you were all there to encourage and support me and when i finaly went in for the real thing you all came forward with your love and support and see me through the tough times i had afterwards, you all never tired of me or never said a bad word against me only kind supportive words that made me feel so very much better..

I hope i have made freinds for life as now i have this pump does not mean i will not need you all again infact it reminds me that i am a cper for life only with constant control and support from the hospital, and most of all from all of you..

Thank you all so very much..

Tiddgys xx

Hello Tiddgys!

I'm so happy and thankful that you're FINALLY reaping the benefits of the pump surgery. And you have certainly given me more hope when I have to undergo it again.

It's been my pleasure to see you through this long ordeal. I felt the same way about you and the others when I was going thru it. You are truly a good friend, and I hope, a friend for life!! Remember, I'll be needing you and the others again myself. Please don't abandon me, OK?

What I want for you now is to relax and let the pump do it's "thing" by controlling the pain. I hope the pump will give you more of your ole life back before the pain took over your very being.

Take care, dear friend, and know I'm here for you always. Linda

Hi Tiddgys,

I am so happy for you. Now, we just have to get Linda set up with the pump and we'll be good to go! I am glad I was able to help you. If you ever have any questions about the pump, feel free to ask.

Linda, we'll be there for you when you need us too. I really hope the second time around for you is so much better and that you get to experience the positives of the pump rather than the negative.

Sharon

Tiggdys,

Would you please explain the "pump" in further detail. I would like to know more about it. I am taking med's now and would like to stop if possible. Do you know a website that would explain more about it? Or can you explain a further for me and I am sure for some others also.

I am glad to hear you are doing so GREAT!! I AM JEALOUS!!!!!! :-)

Good luck and try to relax and enjoy being PAIN FREE!!
