- Turns out I have something called MAI or MAC .Mycrobacterium etc. It's a nasty bacterial infection which can take 12-18 months of antibiotic treatment. Had a biopsy today so they can determine exactly what bacteria it is and how best to treat...
- Having a hard time coping with what the universe is sending me. Hubby broke his leg. Due to the neuropathy he didn't realize it. He has been wheelchair bound for 5 months. They claim they can't cast it so they put him in a brace. He will...
- Had lots to do on Friday, We had an appointment for Ray, food shopping, and lots of errands.Went to doctor's office to p/u a script. Tripped on the curb and sprained my ankle in 2 places. After they took x-rays, they gave me a soft cast and told...
- Went back to Columbia for my 6 month check up and other than being too heavy, all my stats have improved.I had CT scan so no cancer, but some bronchitis. On the stress test, before the surgery I was at 5 watts, now I am at 35. Also did 400 more...

- As some of you already know, during my LVRS they found cancer. They took the entire raisin sized tumor out during the surgery. I found out today it was stage one lung cancer. I never would have known it was there.I am thankful and feel quite...
- My husband Ray has developed an diabetic ulcer on his heel. That is basically how he lost the other leg. We started wound care and saw the doctor yesterday. He has convinced himself he is going to loose the leg. Since I am Pollyanna, I am trying...
- I developed it after the surgery. Had never run across the term before. O2 gets trapped under the skin and you swell up like a balloon. My eyes were swollen shut. Ray didn't recognize me. When you press on your skin, it sounds like rice...
