Pam,
I really don't know why. Usually they (whoever puts it in), I think doesn't
like to be responsible for having a patient walking around w/ it. I had one in
the whole time I was at Baylor, but Little Rock, AR, put it in (a hosp. there).
Then, I went to a small rehab, was unhappy by far, and thought where can I go?
Baylor and I'm glad I did. It was the best place for me. I wud recommend it
to anyone. So many of us and some worse off than you, so I never much felt
sorry for myself. I'm just glad I'm not anymore worse off than I am and I hope
I don't get TM again. I try not to think of it and negative things. My poor
husband, can't get over the anger of it all. While ago, he was helping me
while I was getting in or out of my chair I can't recall for sure which and I
said "You look angry - are you?" He said "Well he__ yes, this shouldn't have
happened to you or anyone." I told him, you MUST get over the anger to be
happier. He said nothing. It will take him a
longgggggg time I know. He is just like that. I wish he was more positive
but I have never in 30 yrs. of marriage been able to help him w that altho I've
tried. Take care, Natalie M.

I REALLY DO NOT KNOW WHY. I AM SURE THEY TAKE BLOOD FROM IT.MY DOCTORS WILL
NOT PUT A PICK LINE BECAUSE I GOT TM FROM A FORM OF LUPUS THAT MAKES MY BLOOD
CLOT. THEY WANT NOTHING IN ME THAT COULD POSSIBLY CAUSE ME TO GET A CLOT EVEN
THOUGH I AM ON A BLOOD THINNER.
I GUESS THE ONLY WAY YOU WILL KNOW IS ASK. MY PRAYERS OR WITH YOU AND ENJOY
THE WHEELCHAIR.
