So, it's back to the hospital I go today. I was already going for a late in the day urologist appointment, but now I'm going sooner for an impromptu secondary appointment. Remember my red, swollen, hot arm, a result from a screwed up IV? It's still red, swollen and hot. I called my fabulous nurse, Charity, this morning and her response was "Come on down" - but this is no game show. I can't even lift a glass :( It really hurts bad, she thought perhaps I have
cellulitis. I will let you know how this visit goes.
As I mentioned, I will be visiting a
urologist today as well. I'm tired and ashamed as a grown woman to be wearing diapers. I know it's all part of the process sometimes, but it sucks. If I finally get this cleared up, I'm going shopping at a girlie store. I think I can actually buy some cute stuff to wear after all the weight I lost ;)
The usual fatigue is setting in again, we've had a lot going on. My grown son is/has moved into his new apartment across the street from us :) Both little children have brought home great report cards!! I must admit somewhat shocking in some respects, but very pleased. My husband has a good job that just upped all their medical/dental/vision coverage, which quite honestly was incredible coverage already. They continue to allow him to take off all days for my appointments with pay. Knorr Brakes Ltd is an awesome company. If you happen to own a train in Brazil or China, and it needs new brakes, give them a call. *giggle*
Hugs, always wishing you the best Velda! I hope you get all the answers and relief you are searching for today! ~Sara
ReplyDeleteHi Velda,
ReplyDeleteThe arm sounds awful! I am not sure if you remember when I had surgery a few years ago, I got phlebitis in my arm and up my shoulder from the drugs they put in my veins... The surgery was not nearly as painful as the phlebitis. Not even close. It sounds like you are having the same constant reeling pain from your arm. It is the worst pain I ever had and I have had some pretty serious pain in my life. I would not wish this on anyone, let alone you! I hope it recovers fast for you. The good news is... if it is similar then once it starts to feel better it does not take long to get better.
The last couple of posts indicate that you are having a harder time again now. I hope you bounce back up as you have every time before. So far you are beating everything that the doctors indicated to you by miles and miles and it is my hope that you beat the shit out of this cancer.
I am thinking about you and I wish you a full recovery, as always.
