I'm comin' late to this thread mrs.starkers. Sorry 'bout that. A friend some years past had undergone a dual hernia op (one on each side...this one never ever did simple...) and went through the same thing. It's a real pain and I know it's frustrating but...there's always a but in there somewhere...99.999999999% of the time everything works out just right. I got tons of faith in you mrs. starkers and I ain't the only one. There's a bazillion of us over to here rootin' for ya sooooooooooo......get all betterer and come back and keep mr. starkers from settin' off too many starkerbarks and hopin' the Feds don't come on down to get blowed away. Feel better love

All the best Fuzzy, I am thinking of you

Today in the post I recieved my letter when to go into Hospital  to have this  stitch and infection fixed up, I am just praying that the infection has not got to the mesh I go in on the 8th of October  for the day and apparently they will be useing local anesthetic, and then home again , well thats the plan anyways.

Thanks Doc, awwww man I will be so glad when its all over I cant believe how crook it can make you feel.

Yeah...I surely do...thank G-d not first hand.

Hopin' for the best, Shaunna.

Epilepsy? There are several types and reasons for onset. You haven't revealed why the EEG was done (and I'm not asking you to do that in a public forum)...but seizures can start at any age, although the reason they are occuring varies by age group.

Hope that answers your question in general terms.

yeah I think so ty doc

Well its been about six weeks since having my opperation, and guess what? after 4 weeks of infection I still have it, thats right I still got this infection and the doctors here in Ipswich Brisbane  are very happy not treating it, it was smelly before  but the smell is  worse now than then.  about a week ago I was rushed by ambulance to the Ipswich Hospital  after about 3+ hours  the doctor told me I was not sick enough to be admitted and you guessed it I was not given any antibiotics either, and was  sent me home at 2am. she made me feel like a hindrance and that I had no right being there, and in the mean time was going to see if the surgery could be brought forward well guess what it never happend, this little black duck has given up on the medical  staff here in Brisbane  if they dont want to help me why should I. I have had enough of them I have made complaints but all falls on deaf ears. I am sorry peeps I am not taking this out on anyone here just sick and tired of being treated like  a  2nd class citazen with no rights. by the doctors at the Ipswich Hospital in Brisbane. even the complaints person cant be botherd ringing back when she says she will  hmmp typical.

My prayers are with you mrs. starkers. I hope everything turns out well.

BTW...maybe if you sued the s**t out of them they'd wake up.

Feel better...

well I am going to another Hospital tomorrow  to get some results from the eeg, and while there I am going to the ER and hope that they will do something and thanks bonzza mate if this fails tomorrow I will be going back to the other hospital and seeing the complaints person in person as you suggested great minds think alike.... hey doc I had a dream about you the other night, I drempt that you came over and sorted these drs out , oh my hero to the rescue    i shall tell you more later

Wow! I missed seeing this thread while out at sea.

Sorry about your troubles, Shaunna. My thoughts are with you

 thats ok 2of3. thank you

The MRI showed nothing  of real interest but thr Dr did say that I need to keep a close eye on it and have regular check ups and then will need to look into other options.

I admit ignorance when it comes to medical expertise. Not my thing. Fortunately there's a Doc in the house. I've never heard of a Tonic-chlonic. That would be resposible for the infection? At any rate...mrs. starkers...just so you know we're all keeping the candles burning past midnite. With Halloween fast approaching all the ghouls, goblins and other assorted denizens of peoples wacky imaginings out there doing their trick-or-treat thing should put their collective brains together and create a special treat just for you.

  Here's my contribution. Notice there ain't no cabbage.

Pssst...don't tell mr. starkers...we need his starkerbarks for national security purposes.

Feel better mrs. starkers.
