Hey all...
Well, I'm not one to do this kind of thing, but here I am. Things have gotten to the point that the stress is taking on physical effects....so here's the long story short...
My wife, who is my everything, my life, my best friend has been going through alot of pain in the past 2 years. All tests come back normal with a slightly elevated white count. No one can figure out what the problem is. No one. We've been to specialists everywhere, she's been on all kinds of medications, even had emergency surgery when they thought it was her appendix. It's severe abdominal pain, and now after 2 years of in and out of hospitals and ERs, we find that there's a certain bacteria called H.pylori which causes ulcers. She's got it and there's a strong belief she has some pretty mean ulcers....and now with the latest specialist who's the best in the field, we know she needs to have her gall bladder removed due to a functionality issue.....AND...he feels it's possible she may have Lupus.
Couple all this with my own disabilities - I was hit by a drunk driver in 2006 and have a separated shoulder, herniated disks in my neck and back in several places, along with several bulging disks that can, will and some already have ruptured to full herniation.
Throw in the terrible family issues going on with my side of the family....my father passed away in 2006 from pancreatic cancer, he was 59 and my best friend, which has done a number on my own as well as my wife's emotional state as my entire family turned on me since he was the only one that ever protected me from them and their disfunction and insanity.
Oh and in December my eldest had an accident with a circular saw and almost cut his ring and pinky fingers clean off and it was said he'd never play guitar again, but thankfully he's made a better than full recovery after brilliant emergency surgery....and you can imagine how this can eventually cause some issues.......like the development of tremendous amounts of acid reflux, stomach issues and 99.9% sure my own ulcers.
So here I am...spilling my guts, revealing to a bunch of people I have barely gotten to know but feel a kinship with, asking if it was at all possible, if you all can spare it, to throw us some good thoughts and good vibes. I would really appreciate it, because if anyone could send out the goodness, it's the kind and generous people here on The Dented Helmet.
Thanks for reading this. I just had to vent....
