Hi Lottie,

I had this procedure years ago in my onc's office.....sat on the table, leaned

forward against a support and he numbed between the ribs,

Hi ,

You are right again, if I am having PE now, there is a strong probability

that it will return, unless I take something like Lasix. I am going to address

that with MDACC as soon as I get the results from my last x-rays. The doctors

didn't know what it was, it is a white spot on the bottom of my left lung, that

is my suspicion, because of my legs swelling and my eyes feeling like I am under

water.

My rheumatologist wanted to know if anyone ever drained any fluid from my

knees and I said no one ever did. I wonder what she has up her sleeve besides

her arm? I've had enough holes drilled in me. LOL

This is for Bobby, my doctor is not tall and handsome, what should I do if

he's short and not so handsome, but oh so nice, as he is always available. He

visits the hospital to see his patients even when he is on vacation. I think I

will stick with him, besides now he's the only pulmonogist left. My former one

killed himself after he did a bronchoscope on me and the other one is leaving

the LA swamps for the FL swamps. No one can understand that. LOL

Back to , I use salt and vinegar in a Neti pot and have no problems

with that. It's a recipe I shared last year with the group, a recipe my ENT

gave me when I had MRSA in my sinuses of all doggone places. My mother used to

have us gargle with aspirin when we had a sore throat, wonder if it would do the

same for flu virus?????? My sister who is fast losing her memory said she

couldn't take aspirin, so she didn't want to gargle with it. I told her not to

swallow it and it wouldn't bother her stomach. Asprin gives me gastritis and so

do a lot of other things. Remember when we drank a coke when taking aspirin, so

it would dissolve and work faster for a headache????

Good tip for the lemon, will have to try that, too. I love hot lemon tea

with honey in it. My mother believed in using both lemon and salt to treat

colds and flu. In fact when I make green tea, I make it with honey and keep it

in the fridge and just warm it up when I drink it. We didn't have green tea

back then, but she saved the orange peelings, dried them and used that for

sipping hot tea with milk in it.

Keep using your hands and hearts everyone, we can all use a hand up,

I'll take short and fat and ugly anyday as to the tall handsome one that walked

around thinking he was not only God's gift to women, but God Himself!  He only

stuck in the needle, never came back to see how things were going or to ask how

I was, guess that was the nurse's job?
