I had my appointment yesterday with the surgeon. The surgery to remove my gall bladder is now scheduled for Sept. 15th. The surgeon is confident that it will go smoothly and I should be able to return home the same day. That would be nice! But that's the same thing the surgeon who did my intestinal remove said and I ended up being in the hospital for 8 days. I...1 Recommendation5 Comments

It's Friday !
Altho my scalp is still painful, it is not as bad as it was yesterday. So I am thinking that it will get better and better each day. Altho the surgeon said that it could be several things, I am holding onto the fact that it can be nothing ! The glass is always half full to me. And this is just another bump in the road. It still hurts ....and bad....if I bend over. Sooo...1 Recommendation3 Comments -
I have noticed that, since my Mom's death, every time I go into her old room to pray for her, I start hyperventilating, and I become very short of breath! At first, I thought it was just my imagination, but, now I know that it is not. I'm wondering if it is the way in which she died, and I'm feeling what she did before her death? Sometimes, I become very weak, and I almost feel like I...1 Recommendation11 Comments

I've never been one to worry a lot, but, as I write this I've been noticing a pain and/or numb feeling in my right ring fingertip. I've read about the concern for infections with people who have RA, and this is starting to frighten me. I don't feel like writing any more right now, as I am just too tired!1 Recommendation8 Comments

I'm up again at 1:00 a.m. and I know what will happen. In a day or two, I will hit rock-bottom with the fatigue and pain, so I'm wondering if I should consider sleeping pills. I'll check with the doctor, but I'm sure that if I ask, that he's just going to write the RX. I took yesterday and today off because of starting on the MTX, but I was hoping to go back ...1 Recommendation3 Comments

My Son told me today that, he didn't mind being in a room where someone had died, just as long as it wasn't someone he knew. He also said that, my Mom's room has the "smell of death". That being said, he said that he wants to move when our lease is up in December. If that's what will make him happy, then, by all means, I'm all for it. This will be the 5th time we'...1 Recommendation4 Comments

After almost 3 months, my Son has finally decided to sleep in my Mom's old room. He moved his bed in there today. I couldn't help but notice that his bed is in almost the same place as my Mom's bed. I still have shortness of breath, and a faint feeling whenever I go in there to say prayers for her. I haven't told this to my Son, and I don't intend to either. I get this incredi...1 Recommendation4 Comments

Tomorrow I leave for Jacksonville, Fl. to visit the Mayo Clinic. I am scheduled for xrays, and a cat scan. I already had an mri., here at home base.
After the tests, I will see my neurologist. He will determine what and when to do whatever he thinks it will take to relieve this terrible constant back pain.
He is aware that I am anti-opiod. He did my last surgery. I would not...1 Recommendation3 Comments -
