Kickas.org Forums Ankylosing Spondylitis General Discussion #1 AS Web Support Group THe Lovely DIane

Bradford,

THanks for th prayers. Truth be told the wee ones hear and know to well all we discuss but even with that being the case they are braver than their Mom or Dad. How does that happen? When do we lose that childlike courage?

No pleasant surprise yet my Rockin' compatriot. Testing ongoing and not positive in its results. Only means more testing is needed. Evenif it turns out to blockages, as some wise folks here have said the technology is great so no reason for fear.

And as of yet no guarantee that it is blockages in her mighty heart.

Thanks for the wishes and concern. I guess wishing for all to be well soon is too much so I'll be ptient and hope for lal to be well a little bit from now.

SInce the day I met Diane we have been good at producing a life packed full of toughies. Mostly me. SHe is good at finding a way through the toughy of the day.

Then again we got three angels and they show us both how to take this with poise. THey knwo Mommy is tired and needs the boo-boo Doc and trust all will be well. Oh to be that trusting and sure again.

Thanks Pete,

Two points:

first I suspect I screwed up by becoming a lawyer. Lawyers really have no say in any real decison making. As you say we need a universal law that says one family member per household only needs suffer serious medical woes.. I clearly should have opted to been some sort of sleazy lobbyist type or one of Bruno's colleagues with a Senator in my pocket. THen I'd get the deal done.

Second,what is it you are going through now in your family?

I'll tell you something that seems impossible by the number of posts your brainchild KickAS has gotten out of me. I discuss my life and affairs with no one. I seek help from no one. You and Brian and Hobbit created a place that did somethng magical, got me to speak about more than th BS I spew to avoid what has realy got my attention. I like kickAS solely for selfish reasons. It got me to speak up a little about my crap. Bruno with his baddest of colleagues can't do that.


SO don't let me or folkslike me knwo that you are going through something similar and not divulge what it is. Speak up. Even if it is only to divert my attention from Diane and the next bit of news.

THank you for always being so positive and absolutely thoughtful. I hoe loveing friens are the best medicine because we've spent a lot of recent days with such folks here. In case that's untrue Bruno busted into a... er... he stumbled upon excess pharmaceuticals from... local drug store.

Steve,

I hope that you will have some positive news to report to us in the near future. That kind of fatigue needs to be fully investigated. I have a niece who had serious heart complications as a baby and her son was also born with holes in his heart.

Your wife is quite young, so I really do hope that she pulls through whatever is ailing her. My thoughts are with the pair of you during this stressful time.

Steve My Prayers are with you and the Lovely Diane at this time.

First two tests indicated liklihood of blockages in Diane's heart. Doc then issued a proviso that the tests do give false positives so more tesing is needed.

The echo-cardiogram and stress test both offered results that indicated that there might be blockages.. On Tuesday Diane goes for a stress-echo test or an echo-stress test. Then no matter what the results are we go talk to another Doc just to confirm or reevaluate Doc #1's findings.

So it goes.
