My dermatologist called me from the Mayo Clinic, and said that the sores in my legs grew 3+ staph aures. Not sure if I spelled that right, but the medical folks on here know what I am talking about. She said the antibiotic she put me on is sensitive to that, so it should help it.

I asked her about my other blood work that was drawn:

My sed rate is 64, it was 44 in September. My SGOT was 57, and was 45 in September. My GPT ( I think thats what she called it) was 40, and it was 32 in Sept. My ACE is 43, which she said is normal.

My chest xray shows no sign of active pulmonary sarcoid at this time. So I guess this is good news.

I will be going to the Mayo Clinic on Wednesday, and be admitted as an outpatient for a few days, so they can do whirlpools, and dressings on my legs, and then I will be going to a lymphodema clinic so they can help me learn to wrap my own legs. OH HOW FUN!!! I CAN HARDLY WAIT!!!!!!!! yahoooooooo....... ( I hated wrapping the legs of the elderly, let alone wrapping my own legs.) That outta be a sight, as I am a bit large ( FAT) in the middle.... Me being an acrobat, should be quite the funny site... hahahahaha just picture that, when ya all need a laugh... ROFL....

So, I won't be online till next week. As I don't have a laptop to take with me. Wish I did. Then I would have something to do at night time..... GRRRRRRRRr.......

I hate leaving my daughter for 3 days. She gets so worried about me.... She is very protective of her ole mommy.... She will staying with my father, my mother will be going with me to Rochester. Now that is exciting hahahaha..... At least someone is gonna go with me.

Have a great week, and i will be thinking of you all..

Lots of Love from Iowa.
