Hello

Joanie,
I have been two days without any Valume!!
I don't know but I think this acupuncture is working.
I still feel funny at times, like dizzy in the stores or if I do to much.
I am hopeful though.
The doctors name is Dr. John Han and his number is
401-942-5533. I know that it is to late for him to help you for the fibroids but if you need him for anything else, like my anxiety he is the person you should call.
I know that I can not wait to get my life back and drive again. I am just so nervous that I will never be without feeling like this.
I have been suffering with this for a year and really want to be able to be free.
I will keep you posted on how things go. I have to see him Monday, Wensday and Friday of this week. I am hoping to see some more improvement. Keep you fingers crossed! LOL

Debbie

Hello

Debbie,

I'm glad to hear your feeling better. It sounds like this acupuncturist (is he also a doctor?) maybe just what you need. Try to be patient. I don't mean to be mean when I say this but i picture you looking like a little porcupine either all these needles sticking out. I do picture you as a very cute porcupine though. LOL

Gotta gg - Talk to you soon -- Joanie

Hello

Joanie,
Hi! Your to funny. LOL I am sure that I look very much like a porcupine! I'm not to sure about how cute I am while I am on that table since I'm just in my undies! LOL
That God that Dr. Han is an old chinese guy, I don't think he cares what I look like. Although he does always pinch my cheeks every time I go in there!
He is a MD and had been practicing for more than twenty years just on his own for the acupunture. He has such a wonderful bedside manner. He always tells me that He is going to make me al better. I met his wife and she is just as nice. Sometimes she comes in and takes the needles out if he is to busy.
He has so many thank you letters that he ran out of walls to put them on. I told him that he needs a really big office just for the letters.

How have you been? Are you getting all set for your surgery? If you need anything just ask.
Just think by the time I see doctor Pensa next week you will be already to go home.
I acn't believe that your date is almost here. I am just freaking out that I have to go in and talk to him next weekand I still have another two months before I go! LOL
I can not wait to tell him that we know each other. He is going to laugh so hard. I wonder if he even knows that this site exsists??
Who knows maybe I will surprise you at the hospital and show up! LOL
Talk to you soon
Debbie

Hello

Maxxie,
Ok, are you tring to drive me and the Hubby nuts! LOL
We are calling everyone we know and we need somemore hints!
What kind of business do you own? Is your hubby a biker? How well does he know the Cole's and Bonn's?
We are having so much fun with this!!! Do you guys have any idea of who we are?
My hubby is calling all his family to find out! LOL
The only one we haven't talk to is Kash so we still have to pick his brain about you. You have to give us somemore clues.

I would love to get to Germany some day. We have been to New Hampshire and Maine. We stayed at Moosehead Lake in Maine in a hunting lodge with some friends. We ave been there Three different times.We have been to Kittery NH to do some shopping but we never stayed there.

I can honsetly say that I do not watch football but I am going to watch the Superbowl since my brother-in-law ( hubby's brother) Just moved in with us and he is a big Pat's fan.
My hubby is more into Nascar and I love boxing. I'm so upset that Mike Tyson got denied for a boxing license at his hearing! I was really looking forward to see him fight.
Are you guys having people over for the Superbowl or are you guys going some where?
I am not sure whats going on over here. I am sure that the DH will tell me last minute as usual! LOL
Talk to you soon
Debbie

Hello

Hi Debbie,

Dr. Han and his wife sound like nice people. I'm glad you found them and that they are helping you.

Don't be nervous talking to Dr. Pensa. He's just so nice and patient. I was shocked when I spoke with him last week on the phone. He didn't try to rush me and I had a lot of questions. He encouraged me to call back if I had any more.

There might be a method to his madness of making us wait so long for the surgery. I was such a nervous wreck about it when I first found out. I was crying all the time, I couldn't think about anything else. Now, I'm nervous but not obsessive. I just can't wait to get it over with. I think finding this website was a great help also.

I'm going to call him again today or tomorrow I think.

I am starting to get a little anxious again. I just can't wait to get it over with so I don't have to think about it anymore.


Well I have to get back to work, I'll talk to you soon.

Joanie

Hello

Joanie,
Don't worry everything is going to go smoothly for your surgery. Dr. Pensa is going to take great care of us.
You sound very ready to have this surgery and I think your right at first all you can think is OMG! I try not to think about it to much because I know that I will just make myself worse.
I think this site and all the nice people that I have met here is a God send.
I know that it would be much harder to cope if we didn't have all this support.
Let me know what Dr. Pensa has to say when you call him. I guess we just get nervous of the unknown and that is very natural.
Just think of all the pampering we have in store for us!

Big
Debbie
