Patient discussion about scheduler.

Q. I am scheduled for a TEE and i am very scared. what is exactly going to happen there? I am scheduled for a Transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) for my heart valve problem and i am very scared. what is exactly going to happen there to me? I understand i need to swallow somthing and I am not sure I'll be able to do it. I have a strong gag reflex. can someone tell me what I can do to reduce the fear?

A. During a TEE you will be requested to swallow something that looks like a big chocolate kiss. This is all the swallowing that is involved. It is not fun, and me too have a strong gag reflex. I asked the doctor to let me watch the TEE of the guy that was before me in the line. After I saw how this test is done it was easier for me.
(Don't get me wrong, you will want to puke but you will be able to handle this urge)

Q. how do bipolar effect your daily schedule? your ordinary life style .. would you feel differently than others how will you cat ? is it some thing that leaves it's mark during your actions or something that come and go like , an Asthma attack ?

A. I agree with Joseph.. it is like an ongoing chronic illness... It needs to be monitored and controlled. With meds theropy, meditation (if that helps)etc.... The answer to your question is yes... If a person with bipolar disorder finds the ways they can control it then their life can be full and rewarding without a doubt... untreated a person eith bipolar disorder can cause a lot of hurt to themselves and others and may find the people and things they care about slipping away... Which breaks my heart to see, because it is managable but you have to take the appropriate steps to manage it.. I am not saying in any way it is an easy process because it is not.. but what seems helpless one day with the proper tools there is light at the end of the tunnel...

Q. I am scheduled for scope surgery for a torn meniscus on my knee and what is the duration for recovery? Has anyone had this surgery for a torn meniscus? How did you deal with this recovery?

A. The recovery process is individual, and you cannot predict it in advance. I know someone who has done it and was able to go back to exercising regularly after 2 months. I would think the recovery from the surgery itself is a matter of few weeks until you can walk properly, however you should still give your knee a break and rest for a while after.
