To my dear friend Chrissy,

I am glad you have finally got a date, and I will keep my fingers

and toes crossed that it doesn't change or fall through...although

I'm having trouble crossing my toes..when I do manage to do it, they

cramp up you know? *LOL*

I wish I could go up there to be your support " groupie " ..but with

it makes it hard. If I didn't have a child, you would have a

flight companion for sure..unless you didn't want one.

I am glad also that you don't have to worry about the financial side

of things because that would also be a contributor to your stress

for sure.

After seeing my surgeon, and he dug his fingers into the back of my

lower ribs, I've been having throbbing pain for 3 days now, but

would you believe the pain of taking a deep breath and sneezing has

almost gone? Guess it probably was a nerve cut or at least something

to do with the nerves. However I am having the nerve block (just

through my ribcage into the nerve) on Tuesday to treat the throbbing.

If I get there and find out about any complications that scare me,

or it's going to hurt even more than the throbbing, I might just

turn around and put up with the pain until it resolves itself.

I quit my medical transcription course. I just couldn't get back

into it, and with all the medical malfunctions my body is throwing

at me, I couldn't concentrate even if I wanted to, and no way am I

going to get myself into a job that I really don't want to be doing

again. I did that for 12 years, and that was because I had to.

Needed the finances, and was hard to get work where I was living.

I'd love to be able to be an advocate??? for people like us on this

board that have a hard time convincing doctors of their conditions

or getting the right treatments. Then I would get called in and

tackle the hassles that we come across with the doctors that don't

know or don't care, and be able to direct people to the doctors who

do understand and are able to do something about it. Arrange their

appointments etc, but I would have no idea where to start for

something like that....I might bring this up with my PCP on Monday.

I have a vacation I must take next year sometime down to Daytona

Beach...I think you must come with and myself. Dennis isn't

interested in going, and I don't want to waste it. I also have to

take one in Cancun, so that will be on the cards also. I think I

have 2 years remaining to take them, as well as the bahama cruise

and Orlando trip...what bad luck it was winning those trips huh?

*LOL*

Let me know if you're interested, you have plenty of time to decide

*L*

Time for me to start my day with . She wants me to sit down and

read to her...I love storybook time with her. She really enjoys them.

Take care, and I'll speak with you soon,

Love
