Hi you guys, I just wanted to thank you again very quickly for all the e-mails helping me with Salma. It still really could be that she s allergic to something (still trying to find out what) and she is and I guess will always be a nervous fuzzy, but from watching her the past couple of weeks (and hearing all the feedback from so many of you guys with so much experience on this), and seeing the hair on her belly thinning out even more makes it seem like it might really be Adrenal. Even though there are no other symptoms (she s not even doing the obcessive-protect-the-toy thing) AND there s new hair popping up in many different areas But since there s no way to really be sure I went and made another appointment for the surgery for Thursday of the next week (yep, September 11th, what a horrible date! But was the earliest I could get, hope it doesn t bring bad luck!) I m so scared for her, poor sweetie! And I used to think I had tried everything when it comes to prevention for Adrenal, all those theories She still gets meat, natural light, was neutered the latest possible... Why do fuzzies have to have to go through something like this? And she s only 2 years old now s getting me all freaked out worried about who ll be next (since Logan and Leeloo are older ) Oh, and JUST IN CASE the glands look both NORMAL, I was wondering if I should really ask the doctor to go and remove one of them anyway???????????????!!! (like some people here suggested since in their cases it showed up that it was adrenal in tests) It s be horrible if she is opened up and there s nothing but only because it s early stages, then a few months later to have to open her up again?! Not only OPs are dangerous but also so painful, and you all know, very expensive too. Isn t it risky to remove a gland that s healthy, or worse, what if the healthy s the one taken out and the messed up one stays! Too much scary stuff going through my head She s my youngest baby and my first Adrenal it sucks! Anyway, I ll post as soon as it s done to say how it went. Please keep little Salma in your thoughts and prayers next Thursday! And thanks again for all the support and for being such wonderful and caring folks! Feels like she knows something s gonna happen, she keeps staring at me I m sorry baby! Take care you all and many (worried) dooks Chris, Logan, Leeloo and Salma [Posted in FML issue 4257]
