Hey everyone,
I'm still seeing a little bit of confusion over the results of many that
have been to Germany. I would like to say my peace and clarify some
things that I now understand...
Both Sally and I have had some trouble after our surgeries with Dr.
Kruschinski. I think you all ready knew that we have been up-front with
our problems. Sally has told this board of her 1st surgery and the
appendicitis that followed, all the problems it caused her with the
resulting massive infection, and explosion of adhesions because of that
infection. She told us of her 2nd surgery and her reaction to the
spraygel??? If that is indeed what happened, she was the first to
experience these kinds of problems, and no one knows exactly what
happened. She has been very up-front with it all, as have I. I posted
last fall of my continuing problems, and that I was told it was chronic
pancreatitis, which turned out not to be the case! We have both tried
our best to keep you all informed of what is happening with us, we have
been honest! In retrospect I guess we could have posted more about this,
but it has been a long struggle for both of us, with no definative
answers. We also didn't want to drag down others, or give them any idea
that the combination Dr. Kruschinski offers is not working! That is
simply not true, he offers the best chance we have, in my opinion...for
many patients the use of gas in adhesiolysis can be a factor in adhesion
formation, so why not get all the help we can get, IF that is the route
you choose to take!
I also feel the need to clarify something I said awhile ago... that my
3rd look showed a very small adhesion...I stand corrected, and wanted
you all to know that! What I saw as an adhesion,(I'm not a medical
person) was in fact an "adhesive cord" which is not an adhesion, is not
effective as an adhesion, it was very small,1 milimeter, and most
important does not mean that I do in fact have adhesions back! I have
gotten a second opinion on this matter, and they agree it may(or may
not) be an adhesion!I chose to think NOT!!
I have said before that I DON"T KNOW IF MY ADHESIONS ARE BACK... I have
chosen another route that makes perfect sense to me and my situation...
interstiial scarring. I'm still learning exactly what that means, but I
think I can safely say it is more about nerves(on a cellular basis) than
anything!!If any one has questions about this I'd be happy to try to
explain the best I can, but I am still learning!
I hope this clears some things up for you all...
Lisa
