Wow! You sure showed 'em!!!
My issues are all due to years (that's right, years) of experimental chemo treatments.
I was part of a clinical trial to treat Menetrier's Disease. It's a rare stomach disorder.
Think....."cancer-lite" only decidedly NOT cancer. I want to make that clear because I
don't want to pretend that I've faced cancer.
But anyway, long story short: I had to have a complete gastrectomy about two years
ago. I got no stomach. My doctors did their best to prepare me for what that would be
like but so far, I am failing to adjust. I've developed other issues since the surgery that
SEEM to be unrelated (chronic kidney stones, rapid onset carpal tunnel syndrome in both
hands simultaneously, constant nausea) but
I believe they are. My doctors (to whom
I am very grateful) don't know what to do with me anymore.
So the best I can do is keep myself distracted. I probably need to see a psychiatrist but
with so many other things going on in my life right now, that's gonna be tough.
Back to vaping.....the act itself and learning the ins-and-outs of devices has become a VERY good
hobby/distraction for me.
Don't apologize, I survived an aneurysm in 2009. It left me with severe nerve damage from the waist down & everything that touches my skin hurts me. I'm on some of the best pain killers made and the doctors all told me to get my affairs in order bcuz I wouldn't live past a year & no less than 6 months. This July 4th will be 4yrs since & everything the doctors told me, I proved them wrong. They said I wouldn't walk again bcuz I can't feel my legs properly....smh After spending 3wks in a coma & another 6/7 weeks in the hospital, I walked out o my ow 2 legs. Hurt like hell but I did it, so "Yes" I am a firm believer in the under dog. And you can do what ever you put your mind too. And I'm still driving my stick to this day....(smile)
