I just contacted two of my doctor friends to get their imput. Maybe you'll find this helpful, maybe not. Internal bleeding from inside the intestines or stomach comes out in a bowel movement in the form of a substance that looks like black tar "black tarry sytool" is what was said; do you have that? Red blood in stool or bleeding at the time of a bowel movement is usually caused by hemeroids or a small broken capillary just inside the rectum and is usually nothing to worry about; however, if it occurs often it is imperative that you be checked by a specialist. Blood in the urine can be cause by a reaction to medicine (rare, but it sometimes happens). Are you running a fever? That would indicate some type of infection, most likely kidney or bladder. Both of these doctors seem to think it's that rather than anyting serious, especially being so soon after surgery. Both also felt that a complete blood pannel was very important; I'm assuming you alredy had that done. Neither are experts in this particular field of medicine although both are surgeons; but neither fely that this was something that should cause you "drastic worry" (as one put it) unless it becomes worse or doesn't improve. Both said it was imperative that you see a doctor and tell him or her exactly what medications you're taking, what surgery you've had done, and what you've done post-op; it sounds like you've already done that. So that's their oppinion, although, of course, they're completely unfamiliar/uninformed with all of the exact specifics of your case. I wish you the absolute best. This statistic may prove comforting: over 80% of the things we worry about never happen, and what does happen is seldom even half as bad as we expect it to be. Please keep us all advised as to your condition. Our thoughts and prayrs are with you. Good luck.

No, Kathy, not you. Different Kathy. I really am so sorry for the inconvenience my message caused. It certainly wasn't meant as an infomercial! Heck, I don't even know what a "thread" is, unless it's unraveling from my hem!

Dear Penni and anyone else who was offended by my offer. This letter was originally meant for Kathy, but it applies to anyone to whom I should apologize: Thanks so much for your reply and comments but you are under several misconceptions: 1. The e-mail in question was not an advertisement, but rather an offer to help. In the surgical suites where I usually practice I charge several thousand dollars (up to $7,000) for a scar repair. I was only going to charge Banding patients between $100 and $200 total, depending on the size and number scars. I was not going to charge any fee for travel within the continental United States, as we own our own plane and simply love to fly it. 3. Obviously from the following sentences and from the information given in item #1 it should be clear that this was not a get-rich-quick scheme. My late husband was a very successful plastic surgeon, I have made a substantial fortune in land investment, another in land development, and another in investing the rather large insurance policy that was left to me from my late husband. Doing TV commercials didn’t hurt my finances, either. I also teach medical micropigmentation at famous school where, because I am one of a very few medical micropigmentation specialists, I am paid quite a hefty salary. I have been very fortunate in life and this simply was my attempt to share some of that good fortune by doing a service for others. (This is not to brag, but rather to enforce the point that I was making what I thought was a magnanimous offer, not a money play.) 4. I was asked only once not to send the message which offended you. I stopped immediately and sent an apology which explained the following: I’m not a computer wiz by any standards. I really don’t know how e-mail works; frankly it’s a miracle to me. I was under the impression that a message had to be sent to each facet or category of the discussion area in order for everyone to receive it. I had no idea that it was being posted all over the place repeatedly. I agree with you completely: it would irritate me to no end to find a message repeated a zillion times…By the way, I certainly have better things to do with my time than to sit here and send the same thing to the same place again and again. I just thought the only way to contact everyone was to send it everywhere; makes sense to me, but then I have no clue about e-mail. 6. Your last paragraph read, “You aren't doing yourself any benefit by using this advertisement….etc.” I reiterate once again that at the miniscule price I was going to charge compared to my usual fees, the favor wasn’t being done for myself, but rather, it was my intent to offer a benefit to people who have come such a long way and made such huge steps towards self improvement. Revision of the surgical scar would simply be the final rose to make a beautiful dozen. 5. Good for you! Provo: someone who still knows the proper use of grammar in the English language. It must drive you crazy to listen to TV commercials where English grammar is being brutally sabotaged: less calories rather than fewer; misuse of the words good and well, no clue as to when like is used instead of as…but my all-time favorite is the misuse of are and is. Even talk show hosts and news commentators often speak as if they’ve only received a fourth grade education. Please refer to item #7 below. 7. As far as you comment in the last paragraph about an inability to compose a paragraph, I refer you to the text herein and to the many messages found all over the internet. If you check most of the posts, you’ll find all sorts of misspelled words, dangling modifiers, misused capital letters, poor grammar, and misplaced punctuation. Perhaps I should have typed everything on the regular computer first and then e-mailed second, but that never occurred to me, as this was just a good faith offer that popped into my mind and I just sort of jotted it down. I am having ALB surgery at the end of this month and can hardly wait. I am so incredibly excited about it that perhaps I made an offer that was unappreciated……Oh well, I’ll do my own scars. Thanks again for your input, and I’m sorry for any anxiety my offer may have caused anyone.
