 Since i notice a couple inquiries on here on how I am doing...here is the latest..
    I  went and saw my thoracic surgeon  last week in Albany.  He was pleased with how the incisions are healing. 2 of them are just about all the way healed now, and the others are getting there.  But over all he was very pleased.


I saw my family doctor earlier this week,  and my blood sugar levels were good. Did say i had some signs of arthritis  developing in my back and a bulging disc which could explain some of the back  pain.

Overall, I  am back on my feet and walking around.     I  still get alot of discomfort in  the middle of my back, but am taking it one day  at a time.
   I still get the numbness and shakes off and on too. I asked my family doctor   about that and he felt it was probably something neurological but i refuse to go back to the neurologist here after he did not tell me about the tumor i had on my spine.

So for now, like i said  i take it one day at a time.  I can't complain.  Alot of people have it worse then me ! I just have to keep smiling and keep the faith, and  count my blessings.   Like i said, it could always  be worse !    I  do what i can, and what I can't do, so be it ! Although at times it does get to me, but then i remind myself  what is really important.

hugs all-Amy ;D

  I was doing pretty well. Waling around. Being active. Feeling pretty good ecept  for pain in my back still.

Well about 2 weeks i took afall outside. Landed pretty hard on my right side. Having had broken bones before, i knew right away something was wrong. Right foot and right hand were killing me. But i went into the local urgent care, said they felt  foot and wrist were just sprained, but they took xrays anyway.   Foot and ankle  continue  to bother me,  but I know sprains  can be sometimes more painful then breaks.

Well now, 2 weeks later i get a call from them this evening, saying they just got my xray results back today, the foot is fine, but my right wrist appears to be fractured.  ( i wonderd why it was  getting slightly  swollen and hurting  still and was ready to have it re looked at ).    So i am suppsoe to see an orthopedic doctor for furthur evaluation.
  Needless to say i am fumeing cause it took this long to notify me.  The wrist has probably started to try to heal by now.
   They told me not to use it all until i see the orthopedic guy, and that i may need to have a cast put on it. Great this is my right wrist. I am right handed.
    Do i scream now  or later !
           I tell you i was doing so good too.  I give up !  LOL ! This could only happen to me !

Amy my dear you need NEW DOCTORS!  I don't think they have done one thing right for you YET.  I'm talking the locals you go to that is.  Please get better fast.  Healing thoughts and prayers continuing your way.

i agree sir. Now My thoracic surgeon was great. He got the tumor out, but of course he was not a local doctor. But the doctors around here, welll.....Yea, they just have a hard time keeping good doctors on around here. No one wants to live up in the mounatins in the rural country arrea. Go figure ! True the winters are cold and very snowy, but he rest of the seasons  it is goregous up here. ! 

Oh well ! Yea, i hope I heal fast, other wise  I'm going to be breaking someyhing else, and aint me I'm talking about ( refering to my doctors necks,  lol ! ).

Thanks Master James, dear friend  for  the well wishes ! Thi is very fustrating. I know it could be worse, but still,not to notify me till 11 days later.
   I have lost all faith in the medical profeesion. and it is not just around here locally. True i have had some good dcotors, but the majority of them..well no comment.   I tell you if you find a doctor you like noe  a days you are lucky !

  Heck my pets get better care then i do. Seriously the vet we have for our dogs  and horses is great.  They even call up once amonth just to check on our my pets are.  When ever the dogs for their checkups, they cute  doogie bandanna's  to wear.
