Posted by LISA on July 16, 2001 at 11:59:59:
I AM 25 STILL LIVE AT HOME WITH MOM AND DAD, FROM AGE 18, I HAVE HAD EVERY SURGERY OUT THERE FOR OSA, I HAVE BEEN ON CPAP WITHOUT A LOT OF LUCK, NEVER WORKED BECAUSE OF THE OSA. IN THE LAST 2 YEARS I HAVE BEEN IN A WHEELCHAIR, BECAUSE I HAVE PUT ON SO MUCH WEIGHT THAT I COULD NO LONGER WALK. MOST DAYS, I COULD NEVER GET OUT OF BED ANYWAY. MY HEART STOPPED 4 WEEKS AGO, MY MOTHER CALLED 911 WHEN SHE COULD GET NO RESPONCE AND I SPENT THE NEXT 3 WEEKS IN THE HOSPITAL. 2 OF THEM IN ICU, WELL ANYWAY TO GET TO MY POINT. I WOKE TO FIND I HAVE A 10MM TUBE IN MY NECK, THAT MY ENT, HAS SAID WILL MOST PROBABLY BE WITH ME FOR LIFE. I REALLY DON'T KNOW HOW LONG I WANT TO LIVE THIS WAY. I CAN NO LONGER SPEAK, I COUGH ALL THE TIME, THE TUBE STAYS FULL AND I ALMOST CAN'T TAKE THE SUCTION. A FRIEND ON THE WEB TOLD ME OF THIS FORUM, I AM SO DEPRESSED, PLEASE, CAN SOMEONE HELP.
