Re: out of commission for a while

[Guest guest]

Hi

, my son, met with the Dr. and they determined that the hip isn't broken,and should eventually get better. Patience is not one of my strong suits, so I have the opportunity to practice it. I am slowly using my walker. If I have any trouble she said she would arrange for an ambulance and hospital so I won't have to go ER. Both drs won't let ER work on me, with Myasthinia Gravis they could do more harm than good. Thanks so much

Oh Carolyn...

Please, please take care of yourself. Hon, you really need to call

someone to come help you get to the ER. Call an ambulance if you have to.

A broken hip is no joke.

Keeping you in my thoughts, friend.

*hugs*

Hi Family and Friends

went to the Dr. face to face and together tthey worked it out that the hip isn't broken. It should eventually heal, it will take a long time. If I have any complications she will arrange for an ambulance and hospital admitance. No problems with that. I'm much better today. Getting around a little bit with the walker. That little jewel was a good invention.

Thank you for your concern. I really appreciate it.

[Guest guest]

Carolyn,

Gosh, I'm so sorry you are having such a difficult time. I hope you can

get some medical attention for your hip. It sounds horrible. Like

said, maybe you should call an ambulance so you can get to the

hospital. It's worth a try.

Take good care of yourself.

God Bless,

Hi Carolyn

Ouchies!! Sorry to hear about your hip, am glad to hear it isn't broken but sounds really painful. How long do they think you will have to rest it for?

Hope it heals real quick, I am no good at the patience thing either *giggles*

Take care and get plenty of rest

Lots of love

Hi Dear One

Between and me I'm doing the best. I've been able to get around with a cane instead of the walker. I'm leery of the stairs yet but have to get them by Wed. Dr.'s appt. 's stomach is very bad and the Dr. can't figure out what it is. He goes back tonight. She has done blood and poop tests.

He's in a lot of pain.

I'm wondering if the prednisone is causing my problem.. two weeks ago I was turning in bed and tore my right clavicle. Then this hip thingie happens when I'm standing still. The joint starts slipping and then POP.

Everyone is doing everything I ask to make me comfortable, and wait on me.

I could become very spoiled (I am very spoiled rotten) Just ask Sid.

The Dr. is suppose to wean me off the dreaded drug this trip. We'll see.

How is your headache? How are you coping with everything? We miss you so much, but also want you to get better. I'm hoping this new med is your answer.

Love and HUGS

Carolyn

Hiya Carolyn babe,

> Between and me I'm doing the best.

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

" I've been able to get around with a cane instead of the walker. I'm

How did you go?

" 's stomach is very bad and the Dr. can't figure out what it

> He's in a lot of pain. "

Has he seen a GI Specialist?

Could be, prednisone does horrible things to you. Its a nightmare

drug. Horrible drug. I'm glad you are getting weened off it.

> How is your headache? How are you coping with everything?

The topamax is slowly helping we thinkith.... but waiting. See the

neuro on monday. Its Dr month this time. Seems each week is something
