Heart Bypass Surgery

Dear Suzanne, I really identified with your letter....I've felt the discouragement and frustration that you are feeling. I just wanted to send you some support....hang in there! You are not alone...you have friends here. And it sounds like your husband is there for you, which is wonderful. I hope they can get your medications all straightened out and just right for you, please let us know how you are doing this week! Christy (Suzanne wrote:) Wow! What a summer!!! I finally got into Michigan Head Pain and Neurological Inst. hospital unit in Chelsea in August. I was only there for 8 days. I feel worse than before. I ended up in the ER last Tues. night. To make matters worse they injected stadol IV and I had an allergic reaction. I thought I was dying!!! I felt separating from my body---drifting apart--I told my husband I wanted him to remember I loved him so much and never all the happiness we had shared. I kinda panicked feeling there were things I needed to do but then I felt calm and that everything was alright. So weird I see Dr. Gordon in Ann Arbor Wednesday and I sure hope he can offer some relief. A droperidal-benadryl protycol finally broke my migraine in the hospital. So they sent me home with midrin, DHE injections, tigan for nausea and zanaflex to relax tense muscles. They also put me on topamax 100mg twice a day which had to be cut back once I got home to 50 because I was falling all over the place and could not keep my balance. We also are trying to get our house ready to sell and find something less expensive. I am on disability and so is my husband. I keep having migraines and have to try and look at homes and it doesn't always work well. I fell like crawling in a dog house. I don't write often and get the digest version . Sometimes it goes 3 days before I am up to reading them. But I really do enjoy hearing what other people have to go through, makes you realize you are not alone. WMUBronco Suzanne skrohn@...
