Guest guest Posted April 27, 2004 Report Share Posted April 27, 2004 Thank you, Jamie. I needed to hear that. I get so caught up in the frustration of her not being anxious to ‘do it my way’ that I don’t watch for the subtle ways she may reach out through this. I really need to be more sensitive to her and what you have said is a big help. Anna <<<<<Just be there for her and listen carefully if she at some point may be wanting to hear about a natural way of healing... She sounds stubborn so look for little clues...She may just be afraid though and is clinging on to the medicos... You know her better than we do.>>> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 27, 2004 Report Share Posted April 27, 2004 I knew I could count on you Sylvia for some info on the thyroid and some wise advice. I get so emotional when I listen to all the medical stuff that I go overboard with offering information to her and it also comes across as being critical. But putting it the way you’ve suggested hopefully will help me get through to her. I would be very interested in the website with the thyroid info. And I will ask her about what she expects the surgery to accomplish and tell her about your friend. Thanks so much!! <<<<I have a friend that ended up having her thyroid removed since it had grown so large it fused with her para-thyroid and she could barely swallow. She told me last year that she regrets that she did not have the resources at that time to investigate other therapies or a second opinion. She has since the surgery gained EVEN MORE weight than before they removed it. I'm curious if she feels that when they remove the thyroid she will lose weight? From what i have heard and seen in my friend, this is not the case. There is also a web site that is dedicated to thyroid if you are interested in getting her hooked up with these people. My two cents is this.... if she is truly your little sister (in her eyes, not yours since you clearly care about her) does she expect you to hold your tongue and not give her the best possible advice? I know that listening is important but that goes both ways. I continue to work on my sister about natural methods for both her and her family as at least one of them visit the medicos' at least once a week. But i tell her that because i love her, i am going to continue to scold her and work on her about a more natural approach until she sees the light and she and her family are well. she is trying some stuff now, as is my daughter and my grandsons. I guess you can tell her that you love her and that although you dont agree with her at least giving the natural approach a try before the surgery, that you will be there to listen and support her. I'm sad someone like you was not around for me, to suggest a natural method before having my hysterectomy! Sylvia>>>> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
