Update on my medical condition.

Post by Walden »

I was approved to see the specialist about my underlying conditions, and have an appointment in a week or so.

The therapy they are using is a bit painful, but it seems to be working, albeit ever so slowly. I was also prescribed medication, today, for yet another condition.

I only got an hour or so's sleep, as the appointment, today, was quite early, but not sure when I'll get some more sleep. Probably once the pain goes down a bit more.

I'd lost about ten lbs. since my last doctor's visit, a little over a week ago... which is fine, I can easily stand to lose it... but not dieting or anything... just from some swelling going down, and probably loss of appetite from the nerves, dealing with all this.

Those of you who are of a mind to do so, please continue to keep me in your thoughts and/or prayers. I'm not one who takes easily to all this medical attention, so the moral support means a lot.

It's good to hear you'll be seeing a specialist. I hope you're back to normal soon, W.

As for getting more sleep, I bet some folks here can supply you with some CD recommendations. Lots and lots of them. ;)

Take good care of yourself...and let music and all things you enjoy help you to cope with the stress. It will get better.
Best, Pam

Best wishes
And whether the blood be highland, lowland or no.
And whether the skin be black or white as the snow.
Of kith and of kin we are one, be it right, be it wrong.
As long as our hearts beat true to the lilt of a song.
