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…
Originally posted 2022-01-12 09:00:19. I feel like I look like One-eyed Willie from The Goonies. I’m home from my tear duct bypass surgery from yesterday. From what I remember I only had one issue. My blood pressure. It was upwards of 180 over 100 something and they couldn’t get it down. I was hurting so I imagine that’s the culprit. They gave me more medicine in my IV twice and still didn’t budge my blood…

My husband calls me on his way to work to tell me that the truck told him to immediately turn it off. SO… he pulled over right before entering the base to go to work. It said oil something. I called my bff’s hubbie and got him to get up and go get him and then tow the truck…

Stroke/mini-strokes came up. I told her I have had 9 mini-strokes and 1 stroke. She started asking me who my cardiologist was. I told her I didn’t remember as I hadn’t seen one in years. I told her where and when my last mini-stroke and stroke was. She asked me…

Urogynecology… for some of you that’s a combination of girly parts and bladder components. Should know more definitive date soon. Also, if any of you have had issues with rotator cuff injuries and what you have dealt with I could use some info from an real person. My husband has an MRI setup and…
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…
Originally posted 2020-04-27 09:03:16. Cholesteatoma is a serious but treatable ear condition that can only be diagnosed by medical examination. Persisting earache, ear drainage, ear pressure, hearing loss, dizziness, or facial muscle weakness signals the need for evaluation by an otolaryngologist. My son, Dusty, had this years ago. I admit hearing he had a tumor in between his brain and his ear was a bit jarring. I mean who wouldn’t react that way to hearing the word, tumor?…
Originally posted 2019-03-15 05:00:10. Would you believe I just got this bill out of no where? This stems from my son’s oral maxillofacial surgery in 2013. All costs were supposed to be covered by insurance and grants from the state. First and last time I received anything regarding a bill was a year after the surgery. Then, today. I am not really sure what to do but we sure as hell can’t afford this. ♀️♀️♀️♀️
