can i have to see more drs on why im not peeing right mom and i and bev
knows why cause the adheions are plugging me up thats useally a sign for
shut down i go pupe ok so fair so that helps always i would have a harder
time and throw up.

Subject: Emails from Tammy
Well, I will say this Chrissie, Tammy is correct
on the TV spot where I was standing a bit off camera as they started to
interview Tammy! All was quite as the camera man said, " On the Air, take,
three, two and GO! He then points at the reporter and she starts to ask
Tammy questions. Just when they get to the question as to her pain, I pop
the cap on my soda bottle and it fizzed all over me, the floor, and everyone
standing near me!!! Tammy burst out laughing, as did the reporter...and
all we could hear was a loud..VERY LOUD, " CUT!!!!!
Well, all in all, having to start over,
the interview went well.
I live 5 hours south of Tammy so it is not possible
to simply drive up to Stanley for something like that. Last time Bernie
and I had to stay overnight and plan an entire weekend, not real easy to
do all the time as you can imagine!
What Tammy nor Sue know at this time, among
other things, is that I am attempting to arrange my calendar so I can escort
them to Germany personally, now how is that? It is not for sure yet,
but look possible! better we keep this stuff between us in case things
do not develop as I hope they will!!!!
I am busting my butt in trying to get Tammy, Mary,
Jim and Anne medical intervention. I am thinking that once these folks
are done, at least in areas I can be of help in, I am going to stick to
the political and educational end of things for the IAS!
I have a couple of lectures on ARD coming
up, one in Boston no less!! Plus a trip to Dallas and then Washington D.C.
My plate is pretty full...and I have a personal dream as well, but it seems
almost impossible for me to find time to work on that, so I chip away at
it. and maybe one day it will produce for me. maybe!!! All in Gods
time I keep saying to myself!
Thank-you for sharing Tammy's letters with me.
when I communicate with her she is full of questions I cannot answer at
this time...best you keep with her and we do it like this. I am in communication
with her mother though...with the issues at hand and only issues that Sue
can actually produce on right now, anything else simply creates stress
for them, better I deal with the facts once I have them ..it is best for
them all that way!
I am emailing Dr. Korell right now to see
if we can fax CT scans to him...
Christie ask Tammy what happened when the
home healthcare nurse who asked Dr. Tuttle (aka asshole) about getting
a tub railing to assist Tammy in getting in the shower!!
How are you doing Chrissy, with work and all?
I know this is not easy for you dear, pushing through your days like this,
we cannot ever give up though, as sometime something will come up to help
you too, don’t give up dear, you’re an Angel to Tammy, and to so many,
me included. I know those word mean little to one is suffering so, but
please know that they are true and there is so little I can do for you
right now, all I have is my words telling you that I care and so greatly
appreciate ywhat your doing for so many, Chrissy..one day, dear, one day
it will be you who will be well!
I hold you in my heart and prayers.
I will keep you posted.
Love Bev

I am surelly praying for you as you travel and do business with the top
of the line in surgery.
About Tammies ultra sound. I really don't know
the results except what they told Tammie. Normal.
Before the test the OB/GYN said she couldn't find her uterus or overies
because they were pulled up behind the bladder ,I think. We have asked
for all test result as well as Dr reports so hopefully they will get them
to us soon and we will get them to you.
Guess what Tammie did today. She saved her friend
Rosies mom from the surgical hands of Dr Hayward!!! The
mom has been in and out of the hospital for liver problems. Well this morning
Dr Hayward was called to her bedside to see about possible bowel obstruction
from a small hernia. Tammie called me all upset because Dr. Hayward wanted
to do surgery on her now. I told Tammie to tell the family to ask to have
the mom transfered to Marshfield. Tammie went up to the hospital with Rosie
,walked into the room and There was Dr Hayward, When she saw Tammie she
said ,what are you doing here ? How are you related? So tammie said they
were very close friens and Rosie and her mom wanted her there. Tammie was
able to suggest to the family about sending mom on to Marshfield. After
a few hours and many prayers by all of us Dr Hayward said she was sending
Mom to Marshfield because she was going on vacation for a few days and
really wouldn't be around to be able to handle the case. Rosies Mom is
now in Marshfield and they are not doing surgery. Whew!!
Thank you so much for everything. It feels good
to be able to pass your wisdom given to us onto others.
The TV 13 news reporter that is doing a documentary
on chronic pain is coming out to my house to videa Tammie interacting with
her little neices and nephews. He wanted to do more family stuff so I invited
him to Olivias 6 year birthday party. Is he ever in for a treat!! I hope
he likes kids because there will be 7 of them here ages 1 through 6 and
they all love Tammie.
WITH LOVE and PRAYERS
Sue

Hello Bev
Sorry about not filling you in on what has been
decided to do for Tammie. She does not want to go to Chicago. She wants
to have everything done at once in Germany. She doe not want 2 separate
surgeries. I can't blame her .Did you see what Dr Korell said about laparoscopic
surgery being very risky because of possible bowel perforation. Than they
would not be able to use the spray gel. He recommended a laparotomy and
than use the spray jel if there is no perforation. If that were the case
than why couldn't the hernia be repaired as they close her up.? One surgery
done in Germany so she can have the confluent spray. That is what I am
thinking; Please point out to me if that is impossible. That’s what we
want.
Understood and I will secure that for you!
:-)
I will be meeting with BOTH surgeons as well
as the CEO of Confluent Spraygel. I will secure these answers for you,
you can trust that...:-)
In reviewing Tammie’s records here are the things
that all the Drs she saw are saying.
1.laparoscopic surgery is too risky because of
possible bowel perforation
2.They shouldn't use mesh to repair the hernia
because of adhesions and bowel attaching to it.
3.lose weight, than her own muscle has a better
chance of holding the hernia repair.
4. If she uses pain-relieving drugs she will
have constipation problems.
What does Dr Reich have to say?
For some unknown reason, Tammie has been doing
better since Darrell’s Birthday March 16. I have a couple of ideas, first
of all there has been some very intense praying going on for her, especially
in my little prayer group that meets weekly since January. also her bladder
infections have cleared up and her bladder is actually working pretty much
on its own. She still has the pain on the left side and the umbilical area.,
but she is doing a lot of walking and has started a slow pace exercise
program with me at curves for women. Since she takes all her laxative stuff
daily she has lessened the pain a great deal. I would guess she has a mass
of adhesion on her large colon and also on her small bowel judging from
the pain locations.
May be blessed until we get things arranged
for her, the healthier she is before her surgery the better her chances
of recovery!! I am soooo happy! Relieved that we have a reprieve
here for me to work with her case!! This must be just right for our Tammy!
Chicago? I don't know. I don't think the balloon
thing they tried for Karla will work for Tammie either because she is highly
sensitive and reactive to things. If she has a major surgery to repair
the hernia, I would imagine it should be at least 6 months before another
surgery.
Gotcha, we will move ahead her with both issues
then...no problem for me at all, my pleasure to be sure!
I think one of the reasons Tammie is feeling better
is because it has been over a year now since her last surgery. Her body
has finally recovered from 4 major surgeries in less than 3 years. She
is enjoying getting out, walking, etc. How long this will last we don't
know. Do you see why she doesn't want to go to Chicago and face another
possible surgery?
Oh, do I see why, I know exactly why, I lived
this too! I do know. and I will work on her behalf with the utmost respect
of her wishes, which are actually very wise ones!!
Is that Mary Pomroy that is having the surgery
in Germany this week by Dr Korell right? I have been lifting her up in
my prayers daily.
Yes, this is Mary from Alberta, Canada. Her
4th trip to Korell and her 12 surgeries including the second looks! This
will be her final elective one as well.
Are you going to Frankfort Germany to set up
accommodations for patients and also see how the confluent spray is working?
Yes, I am going to be doing that in Frankfurt,
then attending a 4 day meeting in Berlin with Dr. Reich and Dr. Corel among
many other endoscopes surgeons and researchers from around the world! Dr.
Johns of " Women surgery Group of Texas will be among them as will Thierry
Vandalia of Australia, Dr. Walter Prendervill of Ireland, I have communicated
with a number of these great surgeons, and now will meet them. Though I
met many surgeons and researchers when I attended the ARD medical Symposium
at Wayne State University, Detroit last year, this is a bigger symposium
and many more attendees. I am honored to be invited, as I am the only “lay"
person who was asked to be there. I think that is very mice of them.
Wise too! LOL! LOL! LOL!
That is marvelous what you are doing.
I just do it I guess. Not much time to think
about it, someone has to look out for all of us, I don't mind my Lord asking
my services. Our walk here on earth is so short, even if we were to live
to be 101! I do not tire easily, and when I do, I know I only have to ask
to rest in his care and I am rewarded with the strength to continue!
Though this work can be riddled with despair at times, I am so greatly
blessed that I am never overwhelmed by it! I think few on this earth know
our Lords love and protection as I have been blessed to know! I am always
amazed at it too. what an exciting life, huh! LOL! LOL!
The Marshfield clinic is supposed to send
Tammie’s updated reports directly to Reich. We also paid the 10 to have
them sent to Tammie. I can't remember what I sent you Do you have the CT
scan and Dr Grants reports, also Tammies blood test results?
I THINK I might, but I did forward stuff to
Dr. Korell, I will look this evening and get back to you on that.
She also saw an ob/gyn and had a pelvic and vaginal
probe ultrasound done last week because the Dr couldn't find her ovaries
or uterus. She said it was caught up in the hernia. They called Tammie
to say the ultra sound showed normal whatever that means.
So what DOES the ultrasound show? That the
"ovaries and uterus" are involved in the hernia??? I cannot imagine such
a thing with ovaries based on the location of them in the pelvic cavity!
They are attached to the BACK wall of her pelvic cavity! Not only her back
wall, but also ALL females! And IF this assumption was correct in the uterus
being involved in the hernia. (and that too is attached to the back wall
with Uterine ligaments)..then how can the ultrasound be considered NORMAL?
If you have time, look up human anatomy, " Grays Anatomy " is best to understand.
Simply study where the ovary's and uterus are; located so you will better
be able to discuss the results here.
I know you are super busy so I better give it
up for now.
I am never to busy to be here for you
folks!!
I will get back to you on what records I found
as I do have some, I looked!
Thanks for all your help and support
Love
Sue
Again, my pleasure!
Love Bev

Update by Beverly Doucette
January 2003
Tammy had an “emergency” laporotomy, (open incision,)
by a local surgeon who insisted that Tammy’s pain was from a “bowel obstruction.
Instead of doing a diagnostic bowel x-rays to confirm her “diagnosis, Dr.
Susan Hayward convinced Tammy and her family that this was an emergency
situation and surgery was necessary immediately.
After phone calls between Tammy’s family and
myself, and a Dr. located in Pennsylvanian, Dr. Hayward ignored all attempts
to educate her to ARD and what other action could be taken before Tammy
was subject to a surgery for complaints of abdominal pain instead she went
ahead and performed the surgery.
Dr. Hayward called the Dr. from PA a “guru” and
that the Dr.’s in them “big” towns think they know everything!
This “emergency” procedure resulted in negative
findings of a bowel obstruction. No surprise to Tammy’s family and myself,
adhesions were found, some were even lysed, but Dr. Hayward, being overwhelmed
by the density of them, closed without much effort to release more adhesions
and free up Tammy’s bowels.
Tammy woke to the same pain she had presented
to Dr. Hayward with, and to compound that pain, she now had surgical pain
as well to contend with, a massive 8 “ gapping incision!
Tammy’s mother, Sue Kolpein took on “nurse” duties
as Tammy’s incision took months to heal, leaving behind additional abdominal
hernia’s. Tammy’s recovery was long and difficult, it took months for her
to regain strength to walk again, take in nourishment as she was overcome
by constant pain and nausea. Whenever she would get up and walk, her bowel
would push through the hernias in her abdominal muscle causing breath stopping
severe pain that stopped her in her tracks and doubling up with pain, she
would need to be supported on each side by others so that she could push
her protruding bowel back in through the hernia’s in her abdominal muscle.
One day while Tammy, her mother Sue, and her friend,
Rosie, went shopping in a large chain store shopping center, they had just
finished checking out items they had purchased. They were walking along
an aisle between the row of checkouts and large plate glass windows in
which the parking lot was visible. Tammy was walking closest to the windows
when a section of her bowel pushed out through one of her hernias causing
her to grab her abdomen and as she gasp in pain, she fell backward through
one of the large panes of glass.
Tammy was critically injured in that accident
and though she survived, her focus has been on recovering from those injuries
as she continues to struggle through her ever present symptoms of
Adhesion Related Disorder.
