Hi Everyone! I went back to my PCP today to get my "new" referals needed. Not a problem. They are in hand. He reviewed my blood work I had done a few weeks ago, since he put me on Advicor for my Cholesterol, he said I needed checked periodically to see if I needed B-12 and just how I am doing. Since May my cholesterol has went down from 243 to 170!! Everything else was in the "perfect zone". :)
I went to a Hypnotist last night to help quit smoking. The Dr. there said it would not happen overnight for most, depending on how long we've smoked. All I know is the couple I've had in the last 17 hours tastes big time yuck, so I know I am going to suceed this time! :) p/s this Dr. said he's lost from +400lbs to 170lbs, and said he did it with Hypnosis. ?
Now I have a question and want some opinions. My PCP is a very good Dr. I really like him, he's good with my children and me. Today though he made me uncomfortable. I told him I was having a numb, tingling sensation under my right breast. Gallbladder? Well he lifted my shirt and listened to things in there, and didn't seem concerned. My belly button is peirced and he just reached down and started playing with it. I told him "don't" and he stopped but was looking me dead in the eyes and asked, "Are your nipples peirced also?" I said, "No, I wouldn't go that far". Ok he's my Dr,(10 yrs) he's seen a lot of my body, he's been excellent with care and referals for this surgery and everything with my family's health concerns. But It made me feel very uneasy, the touch and the eye contact made, like he was looking for my reaction. I just don't know what to make of this.

Still no news from the surgeons office. I went for my follow up with my PCP about my Edema and my ER visit last week. He put me on 2 new meds for the Edema and I got my much needed allergy shot too. Then he started going through my blood work that was done a few weeks ago... ACK!! I ended up getting a 3rd script for my Cholesterol. I am now borderline.... so he gave me meds to help it until I can get into surgery. and OMG I am holding 12 lbs of water.. no wonder I'm so sore from this!! I'm not changing my weight here, since it is water retention, and soon as I get the duiretics I'll be peeing my brains out.... lol

Tonight I made a trip to the ER again, I realize and am so scared about how much longer I might have to live. My PCP did not ever tell me how serious Edema was, just that I had it. Well that's what landed me in the ER tonight. Too much heat, me working outside all weekend, and 3 days later, I could not walk. My ankles which everyone normally picks on, because they are tiny, were 3 times their normal size. Can you say OUCH? I DID and cryed too. The ER run me through a battery of test, IV'd me, in my right hand, then gave me a diurectic!! I'm right handed, tyvm... now how in the heck do I wipe myself? It's not easy when your used to using that one particular hand.... lol? Then they wanted a urine sample.. Ok this left hand don't want to wipe, now they wanted this fat lady, to hold a small vial, somewhere I can't see, to get a sample! I pulled a muscle in my left side, that felt like it rolled over, and here I sat, trying to get that sample and stuck, because of the muscle spasm happening, and I still had to wipe! Anyways I found out tonight Edema is indeed water retention, which can be brough on by excess salt and HEAT!! WTH? Am I supposed to not go outside and have any life now? Also Edema is caused by underlying problems with: heart, liver, or kidney problems.... Please GOD hear my prayers, I want to live!!!
