'We endorse the idea of voluntarism; self-responsibility: Family, friends, and churches to solve problems, rather than saying that some monolithic government is going to make you take care of yourself and be a better person. It's a preposterous notion: It never worked, it never will. The government can't make you a better person; it can't make you follow good habits.' - Ron Paul 1988

...the familiar ritual of institutional self-absolution...
...for protecting them, by mock trial, from punishment...
Late to the thread.. again. Suz, you poor thing.. get some juicer juice in you.. if for nothing else than to whack down the inflammation - no cruciferous vegs in the juice - you don't want gas pains too. Apple, celery and ginger would be a good starting place.
Caster oil compress.. check.. you skin will be extra smooth too.
There's a Chinese herb called Dong Quai you might want to read up on - especially if they want to re-drug you next week. It's like a girl parts tonic... eases lots of things. I've been using it on and off for.. omg.. almost 20 years.. still shocks me that 1995 was 20 years ago. I take it whenever something seems a bit off (didn't wanna go to the TMI zone)
Are we twins by another mother? I am also allergic to anything that started at the poppy - AND the synthetics (like talwin) that mimic opiates. Motrin is my go to and if that doesn't work - ya gotta knock me out with Valium too - - or versed for shorter procedures. I do have more than the usual stock of ice/heat packs and topical things.. oh.. and arnica cream too.
eta.. dong quai.. tastes pretty bad to me (the tea anyway) I use the pills
Disclaimer: any post made after midnight and before 8AM is made before the coffee dip stick has come up to optomim level - expect some level of silliness,
The problems we face today exist because the people who work for a living are out numbered by those who vote for a living !!!!!!!
hehe, my wife and I are the opposite of that. I'm the whiney baby and she's tough when it comes to medical $#@!. Luckily I tend to not have any major problems while she has all kinds of $#@! go wrong. That's probably why we are the way we are. I've never had a catheter and she's probably had more than 10 of them.
Awe Suz, I'm so sorry I missed this thread yesterday. Just do whatever the doc says and I hope you're feeling better soon. It just sucks being sick.
You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Suzanimal again.
Mornin' Suz....
Hope your dope is holding out......
My sister had a cyst on her spleen. The castor oil packs/heating pad helped her tremendously. Also Raw Apple Cider Vinegar is great too.

Is the TBI a concussion, if you don't mind me asking? I know a guy who got one of those boxing a year and a half or so ago. He has the same problem with doing simple stuff. He also has panics because of his experience in the army. Terrible to see a good fella suffer like that.
No it was a fractured skull with a subdural hematoma resulting in a craniotomy and a cranioplasty. Ie, they removed a third of his skull and replaced 3 months later. Some concussions can cause a lot of ongoing issues too though. His issues are cognitive and behavioral. Trying to get some addition outpatient therapy. Your friend should see a neuropsychologist and look into hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

God bless you and your son Carly. No one knows what you're going through except those who have gone through this themselves. I took care of Bruce for 11 years after his car accident that left him so brain damaged. Hypoxia/Anoxia--lost all oxygen to his brain. One day he's a young handsome guy just out for good time and in seconds his life was changed at the scene of the accident. He was driving drunk. He lost his short term memory functions, but still had his past long term memory of his life, family and friends.
I could put his pills in his hand and before he could put them in his mouth, he forgot they were still in his hand. He'd have a thought--start a sentence and then totally forget what he wanted to say. No one understands these people when the brain isn't firing right. They always try to make rhyme and reason out of what they say and do, but you can't.
After 11 years of caring for Bruce, giving him up to the nursing home was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. I know what you're going through dear. May the Lord comfort both you and your son.
Glad to see you're feeling better today Suz.
Thank you. Didn't mean to hijack the thread. His accident was 4 years ago. He's high functioning, works and lives on his own. He's just had some issues crop back up over the last year. If you saw him or talked to him you probably would never even know. Some have it a lot worse but I do think it will be something he will deal with the rest of his life.
