pre op appt tomorow

i have pre op tests at 1:30pm tues. i am looking forward to getting it out of the way. unfortunatly i will be sitting in a waiting room from 8:30am til at least 12:30pm for my mom. she is having both upper and lower gi series and needs someone to take her. tho im not allowed to drive, i still do at times. my dad has breakfast with his buddies and apparently feels thats more important. ugh, i cant stand him right now. i havent spoke to him for a few days because hes being ignorant about the situation. im goin to go nuts sitting there for her for i literally have not one ounce of patience. and what if i dont feel well enough to drive home? ya know! then i have to go sit at my appt. im gonna go crazy i tell ya, crazy, lol.....just needed to vent to anyone, thanks chiarian family........Dana

back from my fun filled dr day lol....totally whiped, headache from hell. i even almost passed out during my pre op exam. dr was talking and i was sweating and couldnt comprehend nada. he could tell so he tried to hurry. i will never be normal. then when had labs got questioned about chiari and what is it from lab guy and xray lady. didnt feel much like talkin so i told them short and sweet, my skulls too small for my brain,lol. then they asked why i was going all the way to colorado, again short sweet version, to see a specialist. ugh sometimes i do not wanna answer questions. i know its not their fault....ugh time for a nap now, i feel awful. thanks for listening ladies

  Hi Dana...so sorry u and  ur dad can not find a way to communicate....I know u feel it is on him, and he needs to understand  and help....but, as most males go, they tend to run from things bigger then themselves....they want to protect us and fix us and this is something he can do neither.

It is hard for them to sit and watch...and so they ignore, make fun of or what ever to remove themselves from it....

I know it is not what u need...but it is not their nature to nurture....so do, and can....but the majority of them just can not.

Hang in there...<3

Hey dana sis...i am much better today.i went to the beach and cooked for me and my friend.i had a glass of wine and felt somehow reliefed all this dark cloud thinking vanished for 2hours...anyhow i made an appointment with an.osteopatia guy on the 21st who is working also to improve flow and stuff.i tell u how it is.well i am really the same...i am afraid of shopping,but whatever concerns my family and friends i go thru hell for them.hey and a mother is a really sacred thing!!!! They deseeve to be taken cared of so much.fathers tend to forget that often as a mother holds up a hold and most of them take it for granted.well i am a bit like u.if i am really made i cannot even talk or i explode...with my father and i really love him...i do have my comunication problems sometimes.but if i tell him what makes me mad he really understands.well i also had a friend who had a similar problem with stomach...i hope they find the reason and right treatment.keep us updated ;-*

i havent been able to stand to see my dad without screaming at him....so i am a normal chiarian.....i do the same thing at appts, anywhere even stores, the wait does me in....my heart gets racy, feel like passin out or leavin....by the time i make it to my pre op im gonna be a basketcase.......ugh!!!!!!!! my mom has done soo much for me thru out my life and illness....she deserves the same....so i will put on happy face for lil bit, til i cant nomore...this appt she has is extremly imp and dont know when they will have another opening for her.....she has something wrong with her stomach for many many many years now. she deserves answers. she is a thin woman but her belly is only fat on her, only her belly. theres def something wrong here. i usual can only go one or two places a day for short period of time, so after i get home this afternoon im gonna def regret it......sometimes we gotta do what we gotta do. at least im not at work,lol....update you later.....by the way how are you today? hope all is well! hugs my chiarian sis....:) Dana
