Guest guest Posted January 20, 2004 Report Share Posted January 20, 2004 Hi Guys, Well, today I went to the hospital for the blood tests and radioactive injection of the dye for the nuclear medicine test tomorrow. As soon as I got back to the hospital following lunch, I was told that the preliminary tests are already showing the WBC are showing " hot " and therefore they will be injecting something to test my bone marrow as they feel that they infection may have invaded the bone marrow with a type of osteomyelitis. I told her that that was my concern, but I was not running a temperature which I am SURE would get really high. She told me that fever is not always present with osteomyeolitis. My kneecap (or where it used to live) is so painful, that I cannot even touch it. It takes a minimum of 4-5 people to get me from my bed to my wheelchair and then from the wheel chair to the van and then reverse the process to get to when I get to my destination. I am so exhausted after these excursions. Laying in bed is painful beyond words. I still have not heard a thing from SS. My attorney was to have given the case to the judges clerk just before Christmas and here we are the middle of January and not a word. The way that I feel most of the time, that by the time it is approved, I won''t be around to enjoy it or see my children use it for their college fund. Well, I will try to post tomorrow and let everyone know what if anything they have found in my leg. The drainage continues on 6 out of the 8 pins on my legl I will let everyone know what if anything they have found or choose to share with me. Until then.............gentle, tender, angel hugs Debs in FL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
