Update...

[Guest guest]

Just wanted to give a little update for those that were concerned about my

fainting etc. I

went and saw the PA at my doctor's office yesterday and he said since it was an

isolated

thing and I recovered so quickly that the fainting spell was probably nothing,

sometimes

people just faint. If it happens again then we might need to look closer.

However he did

diagnose me with a heart murmur! Said that this also was probably nothing (said

it was

most likely an " innocent flow murmur " which is VERY common and no big deal) but

is

sending me to have an echocardiogram just to be sure. SO the plot thickens!

I also went to the chiropractor and she told me my back (from neck to hips!) is

a train

wreck! I could have told her that! My hips are not level and my neck curves in

exactly the

OPPOSITE direction that its supposed to. She said my x-rays look like those of

a person

who was in a car accident. I had to explain that there was no car accident, I'm

just one of

the clumsiest people alive and have gotten whip-lash 2 times from falling. So I

am going

to be having 2-3 adjustments with her a week for a little while and I am on NO

exercise

and NO lifting (yeah right!). But at least I feel a little better after one

treatment and will

hopefully feel even better after more.

Grandma is still having a hard time with pills but is eating SLIGHTLY better. I

think we're

up to 700 calories a day on a good day! If I can just get her to stop LOSING

weight I'll be

happy. Discovered this morning that she does not know what " swallow " means. I

think

this is a BIG part of the problem with getting pills down. She CAN do it and

says it doesn't

hurt but if you ask her to swallow a pill she then cannot do it. I'm not sure

how to get

around it as I can't think of a different word for swallow or a different way to

explain it so

she understands. Definitely frustrating.

Thanks for all your concern about my medical issues!!
