Re: CELLULITIS AND RA - GINA

[Guest guest]

I'll be speaking with later this evening. I sure hope that he is doing

better. The older the kids get, the more we worry. My Mom always used to say

this (and still does by the way), and I couldn't understand what she meant until

I had children of my own. Thanks again, .

Hugs,

Joan

So sorry about , Joan. I'm happy to find anything I can for anyone,

so please don't think you are bothering me.

How is he doing today? I can understand his insurance worry perfectly.

I wouldn't have to bother you so much. Sorry.

has been having repeated episodes of Cellulitis. He went to the doctor

Friday evening. His elbow was red, hot and swollen, all the way down to his

wrist. The doctor out there (who happens to be new to him, as he just moved)

thinks it's cellulitis again or perhaps the start of RA. He is in severe

pain today, more so than Friday nite. I am really worried about him. He has

also had costochondritis on several occasions. He will have to go back for

blood work, but he refuses to do this until his Health Insurance " kicks in " .

Kids -- they are so stubborn (guess the apple doesn't fall far from the

tree, huh?). The doctor gave him an antiobiotic, but he seems to be getting

worse. His other arm bothers him too, but it is not red, hot or swollen. He

is supposed to go back to the doctor on Tuesday if he is not any better.

still having trouble putting my thoughts together. Perhaps I am having

residuals from the stroke. Oh well, tie a knot and hang on!!
