Morning AB, All. Singing at the 10am mass this morning. Then have to go visit daughter who had a hysterectomy Friday.
Ah yes....this daughter of mine with a love of illness, hospitals, pain an cancer, drove me nus, telling me she was going to di, that she was filled with cancer. She had a couple of dermoid cysts removed from her ovaries, no sign anywhere of cancer, four trips to the ER proceeding this fine, fine hospital stay.
After they took her to the operating room I told everyone, EVERYONE, that she has Muncheussen syndrome and to watch the IV lines....
The medicos were shocked, yes they were, but the ONLY way to stop this....folks she likely didn’t even need the operation she had but one random trip to a GYN that se dgoes to doctors four or five days every week and finally found a doc who “found” something.
Anyway....be patient with me....the whole thing is just so weird. What could I do? A randome GYN plucked from the phone book and in Dover Delaware found a cyst on her ovaries...half the women in America have these things I am to understand.
Then it was frantic here, ER trips (where they always patted her on the head and sent her home)...SO I TOLD ON HER. I TOLD THE MEDICAL PEOPLE WHO SHOULD KNOW THIS FOR GOD’S SAKE!
Oh, they do....they know Muncheussen...or FACTITIOUS disorder....and the only way to make them do their job is to tell them what’s going on.
I visited yesterday and she looks great but she tells me she’s dying....in the Name of the Father, the Son and Holy Ghost, it gets so damn old.
Anyway, will be watching the talk shows and hope to join in on this thread conversation.
I don’t know if daughter is coming home today....she tells me no....heh. Well hell she’d stay until Christmas if she could.
Thank you AB for doing this thead and thank yon posters for your smart commentary.
Pat, sorry you have to go through so much with your daughter. I hope and pray that things will get better for you. Thank goodness Caitlin has you!!
