Question:
I have e-mailed or posted questions and no one has answered.Where is the support??
If anyone has any info on how Sherie Sloan is doing could you please update the info.I do not want to e-mail her family and ask questions if she has not improved.I would feel just terrible if I said something wrong.Also I have e-mailed a few post ops and have not had any replies.They say email and they will answer and support but this is a bunch of crock.I have had luck in the chat room only.WHERE IS THE SUPPORT WHEN YOU NEED IT??? — [Anonymous] (posted on August 7, 1999)

I am sorry no one has responded to your questions! I haven't had the
surgery yet but I am here for support! I am hoping to be able to get it
done! I am still trying to learn more about it. If you need someone to
talk to, I am here! You can email me anytime and I will email you back!

I have found this site very helpful. I am only considering this surgery
right now, but everybody has been more than supportive to me. It is
because of this site and the support of others that I have decided to go
forward and try to get everything in line so that I can have it done. I
also have found that there are more questions asked than can possibly get
answer right away. Hopefully, not too far in the future, I'll be a post op
and be able to help others field their questions.
I don't know the person that you are speaking of in your question, but hope
that you find what you are looking for.

I'm new to this site, but if you are looking for "support" you
can e-mail me anytime. I'd be happy to do what I can to encourage you. I
probably won't have any answers for you though. I'm just beginning this
process myself.

I received this E-mail from Gina on 7/29: I'm sorry, I have so much email,
I don't remember if I answered your question
or not. Forgive me. There is no change in Sherie's condition. She remains
comatose on life support. Thanks for asking." Gina Finley.

Sherie is about the same I just talked to Gina her close friend a few days
ago and there is no change. Please feel free to email me and I'll answer
what I can...I'm only 3 weeks post op from a VGB...with a few complications
...soI am also learning as I go...but this site has been a life saver for
me...without it I would not have known about post-op infections and
fevers...even when I contacted the oncall surgeon at my hospital with a
temp of 102 they told me to wait till the next day to see if it goes
away...I was worried...so I posted the question here and within a few hours
I got my answer....get to the er now...thank the Lord I did...they kept me
for 4 days and te incision line had to be reopened to drain the fluids...a
minr setback...but I am seriously worried about Sherie we have so much in
common, I have put her on every prayer list I know coast to coast..I
believe in miracles...and Sherie needs all of our prayers and
support.....email me and I'll try to keep you posted...Good Luck !!

BOY I must be missing something! ... I see and I'm forwarded TONS of
questions and in viewing recent posting find TONS of answers ... What
important questions are remaining unanswered? People cannot obviously make
up an answer, and as I posted earlier, I only respond to what I know the
answer to. Many of the posts I see on the board are specific medical
questions to that particular individual that need to be asked directly to
their doctor. And I respond to that effect frequently. I also, see a lot
of questions for info on specific doctors whom I've never heard of and are
in areas of the country that I've never been. So obviously I cannot answer
those either. I feel badly that people think questions are being ignored
... I wish I knew the answer!

I'm really sorry you feel this way. I find this site a lifesaver. What I
find helpful is to click on "See recent postings" on a daily
basis...then I get a chance to scan & read all of the answers given
publicly. Try it.

I received this information on Sherie Sloan:
I'm afraid there is no change in Sherie's condition.
She remains in a deep coma on life support.
They do not have much hope for her recovery, but we continue to pray for
her! Thank you for asking.

I would like to apologize for myself and everyone else, I am sure none of
us have been blowing you off because everyone is sooooo supportive on this
site. I would be more than happy to answer any questions (if I can) or
even just chat. Now, I cannot get into the chat room, so you are 1 step
ahead of me there. I don't know about the Sherie you asked about, maybe
someone else will recognize the name. How long ago was her surgery? Well,
take care and please don't feel slighted because I am sure no one
intentionally has done that!!!!
