I'm always around even when I'm silent. Contrary to popular belief, I do have times when I have nothing to say.
I think we all deal with stuff as it piles up on our plates whether we really want to deal with it or not. What choice do we have.
I finally got a call back from the neurosurgeon. Tomorrow I'll have to call and set up an appointment so I can see what he wants to "fix" and when he wants to do it.
You certainly have a LOT going on my Dear, Virtual Hugs and Healing Energies sent your way. Ever since the Pandemic began I think I've had more Medical and Dental Emergencies than ever in my whole damned life, it is ridiculous... and of coarse getting seen is more difficult now the System is so overwhelmed. But it sounds like you're in good hands and that's great that you're at least getting feedback on what it isn't. I recently had a scare and found out it was not Cancer, so then I didn't really Care what it was, you know? *LOL* Relief... and it's finally Healing, so knowing my Tit wouldn't fall off was great News, the Young Male Doctor thought I was hilarious and it was so Cute to see him Laughing out loud... I guess most of his Patients are so SERIOUS?@! *Winks*
You've got a lot of health issues to contend with, that's for sure! Do you like spinach? It's high in iron. Spinach could be used in veggie smoothies, I think.
As a member of a doctor's family, i can tell you Do Not Wait for the cardiologist's office to call you, you call them. Referrals can get lost in the shuffle of paperwork, and other things can happen.
Same with lab results, it's not true that no news is good news. If you don't get lab results, call and ask for them.
Good for you, working on these health issues. It's not easy, but it's worth it.
I'm going to call tomorrow and yes, I know all about doctor's offices. I used to work for various doctors.
I'll keep working at it, easy or not because I'm not ready to say good-bye to this world yet. Being healthy or healthier is a much more pleasant choice all the way around.
Forgot something the first time i commented. Have you tried any of the new, vegan meat substitutes like Impossible Burgers? They are delicious, might be easier for you to digest than actual meat, and they are made with plant heme. Since i added them to my diet, i am no longer anemic, you might try them.
About the iron... Have you heard of an 'iron fish'? May patients needing iron in their diets but can't afford/do meat use an iron fish to enhance their cooking with iron. I think they cost about 20 dollars.
I think you could sell your body to a medical school and get big bucks for it. Dr. Mike Here! People with a lot of different symptoms may have Lupus. Symptoms come and go. Here's a list. Top 10 Most Common Lupus Symptoms Include:
Achy or swollen joints (arthralgia) Unexplained fever (more than 100° F) Swollen joints (arthritis) Prolonged or extreme fatigue Skin rash, including a butterfly-shaped rash across the cheeks and nose Pain in the chest when breathing deeply (pleurisy) Hair loss Sensitivity to the sun and/or other light Mouth or nose sores Pale or purple fingers or toes from cold or stress (Raynaud's phenomenon)
You're funny...I like that! Maybe we can compare ailments and then consult with Dr. House, but he used to say "it's not Lupus" about everything so I can safely say he'd tell me it isn't Lupus. My grandfather would tell me it's a fart crosswise.
Huge empathic sigh.
ReplyDeleteMystery ailments outsuck Dyson.
I hope you can and do raise more than a little hell.
Thanks! Love you saying it "outsucks Dyson"...lol. I'm waiting for someone to ask who is Dyson!
DeleteOr better yet, ask for Dyson's phone number.
DeleteI'm so sorry you have to deal with all this!! I'm glad to see you back, but take care of you first. ((Hugs))

ReplyDeleteI'm sorry but I got laughing trying to picture anyone's tit falling off and the young male doctor was correct! You are hilarious!

ReplyDeleteFirst, thank you for the suggestion and yes, I like spinach. I'll have to look up a decent recipe for a vegie smoothie using spinach.

ReplyDeleteI haven't tried them, but they're on my grocery list now. Thank you so much for that suggestion!
DeleteAbout the iron...

Never heard of iron fish, but I will check it out. These days I'm up for most anything. Thanks for the suggestion.

Oh gee, thanks! I don't think they'd give me much for my body! lol Maybe a dollar or two.
DeleteThey should use your photo in Medical School books for falling apart slowly. It could replace mine, which looks like a Drivers License photo.
