Thursday, October 9, 2008 | A Frustrating story
As soon as I entered the doc's office today I got coralled for an immediate blood test.  I had to go over and have that done before I could see the Pulmonologist.  The hemotologist was on 2 emergency calls so I have to go back on Friday because we have to figure out why my blood level and platelet level dropped.  Then I found out I have a nodule on my right breast and have to have another Mammogram and ultrasound done.  I guess I might have traded a uterine wall cyst for a nodule in my breast.  I had a mamo done in July before the surgery and had a clean slate but things can happen fast.  Well at any rate my feelings in that doctors office were not my usual upbeat self.  As soon as I got there I wanted out badly.  I don't think that anyone in their right mind has fun seeing any doctor's but in my case every time I go to the doc either something more is wrong or they miss something.  Oh well enough for the pity party.  I used my new Electric Wheelchair today.  I am refering to her as "Blue Angel" from now on but she rides like a limo and goes as fast as the scooter does.  I sort of almost went backwards down a hill because the wheel got caught on a curb but because I released the toggle she held her own.  I was having visions of tipping over but God saved me and gave me enough time for a nice huge black gentleman to come over and push me out next to the street.  Your talking about pushing over 400 lbs about 5 feet!!!  I thanked him profusely and shook his hand.  There are still good people out there and will always be.  He must have been one of God's bigger Angels.  But at any rate Blue Angel is a Godsend!!  I was showing people how she can lift me another 8 inches up in the air because they mentioned it.  I told them she does everything but cook,  clean,  wash clothes and dishes,  etc.  She should for 51000.  I was told that Permobil is the top of the line electric wheelchairs and the rep was there when I went to get fitted for her.  I feel so lonely tonight for some reason.  I have changed immensely since being in the hospital - I have lost a part of me.  I saw 3 or 4 Honda Elements today and that gave me something to look forward to since that is the car I am saving for.  I want everyone to pray for me to be able to get the Element,  job,  my own place and be able to live until at least my 70's and enjoy the rest of my life.  I love all of you and I want you to take care of yourself and your families.   So I am going to sign off now and hope that you all have a great night.  LOL  galed7956

    Thank you for the prayers and backing. And your right thank God for big Angels!!! Who says we can't take care of ourselves with a little help from those Angels!! I am praying that all my hopes and dreams come true also. I saw 3 or 4 Honda Elements yesterday and thought that might be a positive sign. I was excited about that again. Hope you are doing well and you are right before we know it Christmas will be upon us. I hope that I am moved into the new apartment and I can put my tree up with a little help from my friends and my one relative. I might have a tree decorating party. Everything will be on one floor so it will be a piece of cake!!! I picked up a paper towel holder that sits on the counter and also a bananna hanger made out of wood. Those were two things that I lost when I moved. I pick up little things that I know that I lost when I see them. I am eventually going to get a love seat that can be a lounge chair/bed. It costs 400.00 but it's worth it in case someone like my cousin or aunt need to stay over because of the weather. I also picked up a hat, hoodie and am waiting for the pants that represent my high school. I shop at my pharmacy that's right down the street from where we live and they are so good to me. They also bring me medicines and things I need that they have if I am too sick to get out or can't get out. Their not supposed to do that but they do anyway. God bless them for being there. I know that when I move I will get lots of help. So thanks again for being my best friend on this site and all the prayers that you are sending my way because believe me I am sending them back. Have a great day and I'll yak at you later!!! galed7956
