id say a couple of weeks sweetie. and i know it totally sucks!!!!!!!!!

To those of you whom are so offended...I told the truth as it was told to me. My children were 1lb14 oz and 2lb 21/4 oz and were basically born dead...had heart surgery' date=' chf, bpd, pneumothoraxes, ricketts--and all that goes with that, nec, hydronephrosis, massive infections and transfusions, and i could go on and on. I know first hand what 2lb and 4lb and now 120lb babies go through ...and you cannot compare children to adults...your argument is moot....not at all relevant.

If the lady does not like what my experience has been...she doesn't have to take my advice. it's that simple...if someone is "offended," that's not really my problem. I have more medical and life experience than most people will ever get regarding children. It's not relevant. And, I don't appreciate being baggered about what my experience was.[/quote']

cindi, step back. you basically said shes fat and lazy hence her complication. if this is what you meant, perhaps you don't care, but if it's not, you were offensive, so try the crazy way out and say "I'm sorry I handled that so badly"

as to your children and mine, i have no need to one up you or be one upped. in my world i would like no children to suffer, but one thing i learned after years both working and living in hospital with my son is that anestesia is a science that does not change based on patient size. formulas change, but approaches do not necessarily in many cases. I can easily assume that you are not an anestesiaologist which would be the only valid addition to the conversation. IF you aren't one, you're guessing in an offensive way to a lovely woman who almost died. WOuld appologizing kill you?

I'm three and a half weeks in with significant complications but i'll tell you what often helps me get through the pain when drinking. sip...sip...sip, then practice those stupid breathing lessons you learned when you were preggers. DH says I sound like I'm giving birth constantly LOL but it does help.

NGM!!!! I've missed you!!! I don't remember how serious it was anymore, I'd have to check with my folks, but when I was a kid I had a panic attack coming out from anaesthesia - and I remember being told to breathe- apparently I was sort of holding my breath or something... But when I had twilight sedation for my teeth and total anaesthesia for gallbladder I had no problems... (and I've only gotten fatter over time lol) so go figure!

Anyway I was thinking of you NGM! I wasn't sure how long you were on pre-op diet for so i though you were still plugging along with that! Oh I'm so so so so glad your still with us, and I hope your recovery gets easier!!!

heh heh no she's not a doctor I doubt she has even played one on tv (though I once played on in a high school play so this does make me an expert on all medical fields.....and all areas of acting.....go ahead, ask me how tom cruise plays tom cruise in evert movie he;s ever done....i was a high school actress so i know

but what really matters is we have our sunny smile back on the board how are you doing today grama?
