Yes; I have not been around. No, the surgeries did not go well; yes, I am in worse shape than ever before.
Many of you are aware that my jaw-joints (older stock joints) were removed after 13 years back in July. The surgeon created (accidentally) fistulaes in my righ...

Thursday, May 22, 2008 at 04:33 PMHey, Bek!
Well, I don't even care about him not admitting how he screwed up. I care much more about the fact that nothing was done (by him or anyone else) to correct the error. This is keeping my jaw infected and will keep the infections (or others) in there. At this point, I am to have the PICC until the 12th of June. But, if the ear is not repaired by then, I will have to have another one inserted-- as I will keep getting sick. And, now; though I did take precautions (including a mask in public), I am getting a terrible cold- something I have not had in years. Bleh.
Good to hear from you! I will try and be around more.. but, now, I need to sleep (I think)..

You're definitely right, someone should have noted the error and fixed it ASAP. You went through so much to get your new joints, someone should have noticed the problem and fixed it so you could have been able to keep your joints inplace.
Feel free to write me anytime you want to chat, I'm always here!

Sunday, May 25, 2008 at 10:31 PMGosh, I just do not know what to say. This is just so rotten and I can't believe it is happening to you..........again. It is a shame that you put so much trust in a Dr. and a fantastic facility and boom, here we go again.
Anyway, please keep posting and updating as I am sure a lot of people are concerned. I for one....I work in the medical field and I have seen first hand the devastation that can result from infections.
You look cute in your mask.....so keep wearing it and stay well.

Monday, May 26, 2008 at 01:48 PMHey, Sue. Yep. I am having some weird problems with the puters too.. think it's not really the computer but the site but it keeps posting my things two or three (usually three) times. Hmm;
Anyway, thanks for your note, and I will try and be here a bit more. Just kind of an exhausting week/month and going into a year (yeesh) I have been sick since July.. and that's not cool!
Will be in touch tho@

Hey sweetie,
I'm so sorry to hear about your condition. I was really really hoping that once you got your new joints that all this mess would be over.
That's crazy about the fistulas! It boggles my mind how the surgeon can make such a huge mistake and not even bother to tell you about it!! So many problems could have been avoided if he could have just owned up to the mistake. I know doctors are human just like the rest of us and we all make mistakes sometimes but when you're dealing with another person's health owning up to your mistake makes a HUGE difference. I would not have Fibromyalgia or TMJ if the dentist I went to never did that root canal. I didn't need it and he just wanted the money. My pharmacist is in the same plaza as this dentist and every time I go in to pick up my medication I get a wave of frustration because I wouldn't need these pills if it were not for him.
I really wish there was something I could do to make all your pain and problems go away. What are your doctors planning to do after the infection is gone? Are they going to make you a new joint?
Hang in there hun, every day you fight will only make you stronger in the end.
Sending lots of good vibes your way!!
*hugs*
