Telemed Appointments

Originally posted 2020-04-21 10:50:42. You know this coronavirus quarantine stuff has its ups and downs. One plus for me is not having to go into a crowded office and having to sit in a overpopulated waiting room. Since Dusty’s immune system is already compromised this is a huge weight off my shoulders! Alot of the patients that are in one of the doctor’s offices are children. As we know as children we didn’t think about…

How the hell did I do that?

Originally posted 2021-10-06 19:46:51. Yesterday morning I woke up in extreme pain. The pain was in the right part of my upper back that seemed to radiate thru to the front of my chest. It also went all the way down my arm into my fingers. I couldn’t lay down and get comfortable. The pain seemed to increase in intensity after 30 to 60 seconds. I tried to describe it to my husband as well…

Generic

You know the times you run low on your meds, and you just call the pharmacy and get more? Yeah, well, that’s now how it worked this time… šŸ¤¦ā€ā™‚ļø Dusty told us he had one of his meds… “One pill mom” 😳😳😳 Yeah, ummmm… majority of the time, it’s no big deal. Even though we have been trying to get him to understand that he needs to tell us a lot sooner. I keep his…

Early Morning Emergency

Originally posted 2021-08-06 15:28:02. Early yesterday morning I woke to my husband wailing in pain. He said it hurt in his upper abdomen. Every few minutes the sounds of gagging almost throwing up became constant. My husband isn’t the “I’m in pain” type. He is normally the “I’m good” type. He asked me if we had any pepto-bismol, which we did. We got it out got a spoon and he took some. We waited. He…

Our lives are about to change

Originally posted 2014-06-13 22:43:09. We are at the end of one chapter of our lives. Our son graduated last year and now our daughter graduates tomorrow, June 14 2014. Every time I think about it I end up in tears, not necessarily sad tears, I think they are a mixture of emotions. From where we started to where we are now I thought things would have never been the way they are now. I have…

I had another one

Originally posted 2021-03-06 09:00:00. Ughhh… So I had another mini-stroke/TIA. This makes number 9. My regular has decided to send me to a specialist to see if there is something more going on. I get a call from a doctors office telling me they got a referral from my doc and needed to schedule an appointment. Then something caught my ear… I had her repeat where she was from. I heard the word ONOCOLOGY… my…

Microcephaly, is it what you don’t know what you fear the most?

Originally posted 2016-02-01 13:43:35. As most may know this has been in the news a lot lately. What some of you may not know is that my son was also born with microcephaly. Yes, I admit when I was young I didn’t know what to expect with my child having this. I opted to give him up for adoption. Ultimately, I decided to raise my son the best way I knew how. He wasn’t diagnosed…

Study: Memories of music cannot be lost to Alzheimer’s and dementia

Originally posted 2020-12-14 08:30:28. The part of your brain responsible for ASMR catalogs music, and appears to be a stronghold against Alzheimer’s and dementia. Some music inspires you to move your feet, some inspires you to get out there and change the world. In any case, and to move hurriedly on to the point of this article, it’s fair to say that music moves people in special ways.Ā  If you’re especially into a piece of…

Prayers Please

Originally posted 2020-12-07 15:20:11. Please keep us in your prayers. This morning we found out that we may have been exposed to someone who was COVID19 positive. We weren’t around this person but my niece and nephew were and they came to our home several times, like they always do. They came over on Saturday, back and forth like normal. They just didn’t know they were around someone who was positive just I guess not…

Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy

Originally posted 2018-01-18 16:16:41. During my last pain management appointment I noticed a brochure that I hadn’t seen before. I grabbed it to read over mainly just to pass time while waiting for the doc to come in. My understanding of just what it entails is minimal at this point but it had me curious to find out more. So, at checkout, I asked what the cost was for me to find out if I…
