Thanks for all your concern and well wishes re: my pnemonia (spelling is going to be subject to critism tonight) I think I'm better, Ican breathe better and coughing is better.
I'm 54 left obpi and grew up with ear aches constantly. Still have problems (left side of course) and hearing is going out. I take Alegra D which seems to help out. EMT wanted to put tubes in the ears. Seems lke every doc wants to do something different. Sure am getting tired of going. He explained that the estacian tube in children is not straight enough until they grow older. Well I guess my tube forgot to straighten out. obpi??? probably...
I had pnemonia back in 89 but a fever just a pencil tip under 105 for about 5 or 6 days. (When it's my time to leave this world a fever would be nice. I remember very little of those 6 days in the hospital.) Anyway, no fever this time, I just could not breath and quit coughing. I never had a breaathing problem (except for smoking) until last winter after shoveling after our hard snow falls. I still say it's the diapham but what do I know. I have no md behind my name.
Th doc I have now will listen to me up to a point. I do give her credit as she is trying. But she sure has come up with a lot of things I didn't realize were wrong. But the headache dis still here.
Anyway, I feel many things are connected to the obpi and wonder....I don't want to scare the parents of children and maybe Francine may be able to chime in and help with an answer, The surgury the children are having may or may not correct the usuage of the arm, shoulder, hand etc., but what about the side effects that show up later in life?? Is this where the rom and phiso come in. And once the child gets a little older and does not want to deal with rom, and then a little older yet on their own and doesn't deal with exercise. What about the lungs, ears, and so on. Is the surgury geared to correct and/or adjust the physical body so it does not deteriorate and make the body more in alignment????
What kind of advise can we as adults give to the new mothers as far as the physical except what some of us have gone through?
As far as emotional difficulties, I don't remember having any. My parent opted to let me do what ever I could and wanted. I did not know about the injury until 7th grade. I just figured my right arm and hand were dominate and my left not as strong. Pain in the arm is something I don't remember at an early age, but colds, earaches, toothaches, and of course the pains that everyone called "growing pains"
Arm pain came in late teen years and progressed. I'm glad I had my kids early on, I would probably drop them now. I can see it now, "mother drops her children and accused of child abuse as she must beat them) lol
Just a few what ifs and things to think about. And it's going to snow again tonight and tomorrow but o nly an inch or two (if you can believe the weather person) I love Michigan but hate snow.
Later, Sharon
