It seems as times are very difficult for you both. Keep strong for each other. I am already praying. Did your husband get that job? Your ankles are giving you such a hard time. That must be difficult to accept.
Praying that you get some good news.

Close Bipolar Disorder
I was first diagnosed in 1979 at 28yrs, but after a manic followed by a depression, I remained stable without meds and working until 1999, when a series of events led me to another manic attack. I ended a marriage of 29yrs...not sure if that was really a good thing though. Since 1999 I've been mostly depressed with only short hypomanic attacks.

Close Kidney Stones
I have been passing kidney stones on a regular basis for many years. I have been told it is because I have a low citrate level. I'm lucky so far they have been small enough to pass without too much of a problem, by that I mean surgery NOT PAIN....I presently have 3 according to my latest CAT scan.
