Originally posted 2014-05-13 12:51:47. Ok, this is more of a plea for help. It is sort of linked to one of the other posts I made recently. Here is the link to that post…http://throughourlives.com/2014/05/10/i-need-corrective-surgery-but-have-to-pay-over-7500-first/ Since I went to the ER the other day something seemed to changed. I am not sure if it is symptom to taking a new medication for pain. I had never tried this one. I know pain medications can make you…

Now if they would hurry up with the ct scan of my pelvic/abdominal area… They found some spots when they did my ultrasound so the doc sent out for ct scan. Just waiting for them to call and set up the appointment for that. I feel like I’m gonna glow by the time…

Malignant or Benign

Originally posted 2017-03-22 16:14:59. I had the ultrasound of my neck done earlier in March. We had to go to Tampa Florida last Thursday for my husband’s grandmothers funeral. We got back on Monday, picked up the dogs at the kennel and then I called the doctor’s office to see if they had gotten the results in from the ultrasound. They then tell me that the doctor wanted to see me and when is the…

You funny doc

Originally posted 2021-03-24 09:23:59. I go to my follow-up doctors appointment yesterday. This was to get results of a bunch of tests that were run to see if I had a blood disorder that may explain why I keep having mini-strokes. I had my ninth mini-stroke in February. So, the doctor proceeds with the appointment and tells me all my tests came back negative. YAY right?! Which I’m glad because had I tested positive for…

By the way, the pic isn’t of my ankle. Look… I thought I would be able to get through the year relatively scot-free where it comes to surgeries… but luck wasn’t in my favor. Well I guess it would depend on if I go through with it or not. So I go to the foot and ankle specialist this morning. My right ankle/foot needed a bit more looking into since the prp session. Granted the…

Originally posted 2022-01-31 09:00:25. Shop gifts for every occasion at Groupon So I saw the oculoplastic surgeon that performed my tear duct bypass. The swelling in my face and around my eye was minimal compared to the first few days. It’s like I did a stay at home/DIY ballooning of my sinuses 🤣. My momma had the balloon thing done a couple of times to her sinuses since she had chronic sinus issues. I haven’t…

Excuse my appearance

Originally posted 2022-01-27 07:30:29. I had my tear duct bypass surgery on January 11th. Everything went fine. I go to my follow up appointment this week and everything was going ok, or so I thought. I made sure to ask if I could take a normal shower and blow my nose. I haven’t been able to get water on the left side of my face nor blow my nose since surgery. The doc said I…

Have you had to take your special needs child/adult into the office during this time? What did you do different to take precautions?

Originally posted 2021-11-12 08:40:00. I had an appointment with an orthopedic doctor yesterday. This was for my shoulder/shoulder blade part of back/down my arm issue I wrote a post about. I had it in my mind this was just a muscle issue. I guess this also kind of explains why everything I’ve tried to use to ease the pain didn’t 100% work. I went by myself since I didn’t think this appointment was going to…
