That stinks...do they want to give it more time to heal ? It could take a little while if I remember right. Didn't they say possibly a year or something or other ?

Yes, up to a year is what we were originally told. Doing some research, and joining a couple of SCAD groups, she has discovered that some people never fully recover. It's rather discouraging for her.

So all you guys can do is prey that it heals up and fades away on it's own for now. Sucky thing to have to live with everyday.

I know it doesn't help much to say this, but it could be much worse.

Support groups could be a huge plus. Others experiences/info/knowledge...knowing what to expect would be huge. Thank God for them.

Yes, the support groups have been a huge blessing for her to find. She is a fighter... I have to give her that! She's got more fight in her than I do.

That's wonderful she's a fighter!

Hey didn't the Doctor say in his experience, he's seen a lot success with folks recovering from this vs the ladder. I can't recall exactly the way you put it, - it sounded as though he was very confident she would get past this. As long as she followed the regimen he designed. How difficult has that been ? Lack of seeing improvement at this time can be daunting I expect. I guess you have to keep reminding yourselves how long that process can take. It can't be easy toughing that out. Stay strong guys, it's going to take awhile.

Yes, he said that 90% of the time - this process works without further issue. She is up a lot of nights with chest pains. Sometimes requiring Nitro to calm them down. That makes it tough to see progress. She also has been having issues retaining water off and on - and that's been discouraging for her as well.

She's in for the long haul, but I think she'll be OK in the long run. Just a bunch of bumps in the road for a bit.

We were fortunate to have a bit of the white stuff yesterday, so I was able to take the pic below while on Duncan's morning walkabout and added the sentiment with Snapchat (thank you, Niece and Nephew).

Merry Christmas, everyone!

To each and all, Merry Christmas. (Keeping the Thinking thread about Red, LOL)
