Guest guest Posted August 11, 2000 Report Share Posted August 11, 2000 Hi all Thought I would fill you in with what is happening with me. First, my brother and his family from Georgia were here to visit for a week. We had a great time with them. We took the children, Meigan 7 and Chandler, 4 to Ocean City beach and they just loved it. Once again we used the " Beach Wheelchair " so even I was able to go into the ocean Mom got really sunburned as usual LOL and now has even more freckles. On a sad note, my sister-in-law who was 13 weeks pregnant lost the baby . I enjoyed playing the " aunt " for the week. I returned to working 3 days a week and had a little misshap. A five year-old Down's Syndrone girl turned on my electric joystick and my chair ran into the table and almost tipped backwards. I bruised and sprained my right wrist and right ankle. She is a little hyper and does not like the word, " no. " I am still working but have to go in my manual wheelchair for the next two weeks and am wearing a wrist splint and have my ankle ace-wrapped. Went to the Rheumy this past Tuesday and he gave me a cortisone injection in my ankle. Also, gave me three dry needle trigger points in my shoulder blade. I am now wearing a shoulder brace to pull my shoulders back. My thryoid test and blood work were all normal. He says that I am so tired from the Fibro. They are not sure why I am so cold. I have to have a cat scan of my left knee replacement. They are pretty sure that after 13 years it is loosening. Go see the ortho dr. tomorrow but haven't had the cat scan yet. I have been enjoying my summer. This past Sunday my cousin took me to Great Adventure a six flags theme park. We rode on 5 roller coasters! I love them! Told my cousin, Sherri that I felt like I was on demerol and was on a really good high LOL. Mom was worried about me going but I came back all in one piece and a lot happier. This next weekend the same cousin is taking me for an overnight stay in Ocean City. She even was willing to learn how to straight-cath me. I also love going to the beach and with the beach wheelchair that Ocean City lets us use, makes it possible. (can't push a reg. wheelchair through sand) That's about it for now. Hope all of you are pain-free. ~ Esther ~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
