This past Christmas, my daughter gave me a gift certificate of a monthly bunch of tulips. I love tulips! They're so springy and fresh looking and pink are usually my favorite . I had to show you the first bunch!
I haven't been doing so well lately. No one, so far, has gotten to the bottom of my ailments. And let me tell you, after 3 MRI's, 1 ECHO, 1 EMG, 1 Ultra Sound, 2 Chest X-RAYS, numerous PT appointments, 1 bottle of painkillers, and 1 Pulmonary function Test to go on Thursday, I am not a happy girl. I can hardly balance on either leg, even with a walker and I am bored out of my mind! Sitting on a chair, or couch for any more than an hour at a time is close to impossible and the only time I feel any relief at all is right after I pop two painkillers and am ready to crawl into bed for the night. I am beside myself.
I started two pair of socks since this whole mess happened, but it's not only hard to sit for any period of time to concentrate, but also to stay focused on the pattern itself. I can't even count how many mistakes I've already made.
I bought some more yarn thinking I could start another pair, but I seen to be screwing that one up too. I seem to be losing it all over!
That's the news with me. Not fun! I go through my Flickr account, looking at stuff I made a few years ago and can hardly believe I made all that stuff. I am much a bum now!
Anyway, I wanted you to know that I'm still alive and will let you know what the scoop is once I know. I truly wish that you all are well! Until I know something.......
I'm so sorry. I wish they would come up with an answer for you
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry you are suffering still. I have been thinking of you and keeping you in my prayers. This last week I had my Transforaminal Injections on L2/3 and L3/4 in my lower back. These are for diagnostic purposes to see if I am a candidate for surgery to restore my leg functionality. Our health is worth gold. May you find answers and relief very soon dear. Healing Energy...
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear this! I hope you get some answers soon.
ReplyDeleteI hope you get some relief and answers soon.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness I can feel your frustration. I do hope an answer is found soon! ((gentle hugs))

ReplyDeleteDear Carol, I am so sorry to hear that you are still in pain, and what seems worse is the fact that the cause is still not found. Let's hope your next visit with the medical team will give you the answers and them the knowledge to cure it Hugs X X

ReplyDeleteCarol,
ReplyDeleteHave they considered Fibromyalgia/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome? I have had it since 1986 after a bout of Mono. From that point on I have not been the same. It affected my autoimmune system. I don't know your symptoms so this may be totally out in left field but I thought it worth mentioning.
My younger by 7 yrs. sister began having symptoms but mostly with severe fatigue and not being able to fight any kind of virus. Mine started out with all over pain and aching much like how you feel when you are coming down with the flu. Sarah wasn't getting answers so she had to retire and found a specialist in Charlotte NC who specializes in this syndrome. They call it the "forgotten plague".
Last night, Sarah sent me a video that you should see. It may or may not give you some answers. if you are on FB I can send it to you quite easily but if not I can email it as an attachment once I figure out how to do that from FB. I had to finally retire in 2008 from teaching because I just could not do an entire day in the classroom anymore.
The medical community is now taking this disease seriously rather than telling folks it's all in their head. In fact, the son of a Nobel Peace Prize winner for mapping the genomes has this disease and the father has dedicated his entire life to now searching for the reason and cure for this disease.
Let me know your name on FB and do a friend request or send me an email address.
Hope you find some answers and get back some of your creative mojo. You may want to do some Internet research to see if any of your symptoms match up.
Blessings
Gmama Jane
