Hospital Problems

We are already experiencing issues with my aunt being in the hospital. She’s back in to have her second surgery on her shoulder. And it has been nothing but trouble so far. To start out with, her surgery was scheduled for 10:30 AM and she didn’t get into the OR until 2:20 PM. How uncomfortable [...]

Missing You

I am not well. I’ve been sick with an infection that caused a cough and cold symptoms for about two weeks. After finishing antibiotics, I’m still coughing and feeling very weak. It’s hard to stay awake, to not cough and to stay focused. I’m awaiting blood test results and a chest xray result. I’m taking [...]

The Recovery Zone

Antibiotics rock! We are all recovering due to them. I didn’t even have to call the Pediatrician about Peanut’s infected gland on her neck because the swelling went down this morning. Hubby and I aren’t coughing as much and our throats feel so much better. Image by AJC1 via Flickr I was able to get [...]

EMS Knows Us

The Paramedics and EMS in our county know my family too well by now. After having to call them for me years ago, then for Hubby after getting stung by wasps, it was my Aunt’s turn. Now that she is in a Nursing Home preparing for her second shoulder surgery we thought we’d have a [...]

Sinus Headache Vs. Migraine

I’ve been sick with a sinus headache, sore throat, sneezing thing. I actually missed one whole day of being online yesterday because it hurt to keep my eyes open. I slept most of the day, all night and most of today too. I’m just starting to feel somewhat better now. What’s worse – a sinus [...]

New Stem Cell Harvesting

As some of you who read some of my blogs know, I am a proponent of stem cell research. I think since I have multiple chronic illnesses, including autoimmune diseases and these illnesses may pass onto my children or my grandchildren I want research available on many types of cures. There is currently research on [...]

So Now More Tests

Today when I saw the neuro-opthamologist, who I thought was a new doctor, we realized that I had been to see him about 3 years ago. He actually remembered me. I guess I’m pretty unforgettable. It’s not that many times a doctor meets someone like me, someone with five chronic illnesses, someone who laughs too [...]

Doctors and Specialists Oh My

So yesterday was the day I went to the doctor about my stomach not feeling up to par. It’s most likely a stomach virus. I did have a good exam and some blood work just in case. I also am on a prescription for a week to settle my stomach so I can eat a [...]

Tummy Trouble

No corned beef and cabbage for me today. I’m eating just the bland stuff. My stomach hurts and has been for days now. I’ll be off to the doctor tomorrow since I can’t wait on anything unusual that happens to me. Peanut wasn’t feeling well last night either and ended up with the day off [...]

Smooth Fitness

I read somewhere today about how people make New Year’s resolutions to get fit in January and join a gym. By February, though the gyms are empty. Who wants to the extra work of getting dressed and leaving your house to drive to a gym in order to work out? Not me! I’d much rather [...]
