well,
its been a month since my last post so thought i'd let ya'll know whats going on.
wanted to clarify that i am not homebound-i work 40-50 hrs a wk sometimes more but sometimes feel "isolated" when all i do is work and go home.that isolation feeling is going away..
i am allowed to work out again but no ab work...but have not started anything but stretches.
the 2nd fistula surgery mama had=came out good ref itself but she was in hospital again last weekend w/confusion and other issue..all cat scans and bloodwork came out fine..so if the confusion stays gone [it has subsided w/a decrease in meds and abx's]....after 3 wks.she may be ok.anesthia stays in dialysis pts longer and that may have been a factor.
the exact cause of her major confusion was not located....so i am gonna watch and see..if it happens again,i am gonna make daddy have her tested for alzheimers.her father had that as did her aunt. my parents have been married for 42 yrs and he sometimes blocks out the truth to cope.and thats ok,and i understand..but we cannot let her health suffer because of it.
as for him-he seems mentally and physically ok -i do check on them often and go over there alot.
as for me..turns out lupus might be w/me after all..my bloodwork came back elevated and i have to go back in oct for retesting.i do have increased joint pain in hands wrists knees ankles and feet.this has gotten worse since march or so but i blamed it on fibro [our muscles cover bones so how can i know?]
i will just wait and see but am getting a book on it 2day while at library.the medical bills from that surgery are coming in now and i have been helping my parents financially...so i just pop online when i am able.
love to all
