Hi Mig, I shouldn't be in the hospital for more than two days, I would already have it behind me, but my surgeon is out of town and won't be back until Monday and since he's familiar with my medical history, i'd prefer to wait. I'm glad that I can stay on the Apremilast but am disappointed by the set-back elsewhere, everything was shaping up nicely but there's nothing I can do about it, so...I might as well take advantage of the down time and get some much needed rest, post-op, I can delegate tasks to get this spa up and running, I'm confident that I'll be able to put time in, just no lifting until the ribs, clavical and shoulder heal. Take care and I'll be thinking of you too, my friend....

Thank you so much Sue...I really appreciate your well wishes... I had no idea that I was going to need surgery, I expected to hear that I had serious bruising....

Hey Michelle, just wanted to wish you luck. I'm sorry you have to deal with all of this, but glad that you don't have to discontinue the trial.
How's it working for you, by the way?
Warm hugs,
Kat

Hi Kat, thanks, it realy wasn't a serious accident but I broke some ribs in my chest in an equestrian accident, years ago and they had to be wired because they broke close to the sternum and were unstable, since then, I've been having a lot of pain and inflammation in that area and I suspect some fusion, for the past six months or so, I've been feeling like that area was out of misaligned and I've had to stretch several times a day until it "goes back into place", I can actually feel it kind of pop back into place but since the accident, I can't pop it back and the doc told me that the whole upper left quadrant is in a bind, putting pressure on my clavical, scapula, shoulder and ribs....so, off to surgery I go. The clinical drug has been working wonders for me, I feel almost like my old self, my skin is 100% clear, although I still have pain, my energy levels are through the roof....I feel like a sping chicken....or at least a summer one..... ....take care....

Michelle, I'm so happy for you. I know what a miracle these meds can feel like. And, boy, do I hear you on the energy levels!
As for the other, I'm sending tons of white light and love your way that the surgery does what it's supposed to do.
Warm hugs,
Kat

Thanks Kat, oh yeah, the energy levels are way up, I've been wanting to catch up on everything....all at once! Of course, I feel like I've been hit by a train in the morning, my body's not used to this anymore, but it feels good to do it.... My surgeon has postponed surgery until Weds., he has requested more info about potential interactions between the clinical trial drug and the anesthesia....I'm glad he's being so thorough and I guess that would be good documentation for future reference on the drug safety....
