Guest guest Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 Hi Ila, I haven't been yet. I have been really busy having a new grandaughter. I will send pics to the group. How are you doing sweetie? I hope things are getting a little better. I think of you and your daughter often. ( and your birds) hugs and God bless, Gloria from Ok. --- In Rheumatoid Arthritis , Ila <sewcraftyila@...> wrote: > > What did the doctor say hon about the numbness in your thigh?

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 Gloria had people in mind for the cat care. I hope that too is being taken care of in the middle of it all. Sharyn, maybe you can find that out from advocate. carolg > > I just received a call from the advocate I *somehow* -- don't ask me how! - > found near Gloria and she told me that she took Gloria to the doctor today > and they immediately took Gloria in for emergency surgery.

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 I think she didn’t want to complain to the list any more than she already had. 8-( And I’m not sure just how this was discovered, but she was diagnosed with breast cancer, and then when the advocate took her to the doctor for some exam having to do with that, they immediately sent her in to surgery because they discovered it had spread to her spine. Still don’t know all the details, though. But her back should be taken care of by now. Will call later. And, yes, we need to get her on essiac now.

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 Amen to advocates. Gloria was not, at my conversation with her, interested in Meals on Wheels as others were helping in the food prep area. Ernie is her ex who she is good friends with and his wife has been an angel making macrobiotic meals Gloria loves. Wow, a week. I'll read other messages to see if i find more details on where she is. I'm amazed they are having her return home vs. a nursing home or such for care. Glad cats are being cared for. Thanks Sharyn for updates. Thank God for you! hugs, carolg > > I asked her about them when we were on the phone, and she said they were > being taken care of.

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 I can only blame the crazy MD she had. Even waiting for a list from insurance for other providers took forever and I couldn't understand why the list of providers was not online either. I think Gloria still had the original " quack " and then came into the picture the surgeon who she was scheduled to see on 10/10. What a horrible system but glad advocate is the local blessing. It's very hard to get action done long distance as I tried calling county, giving her address out for services, and not sure she ever got anything from them. Thanks Sharyn. Gloria even said to me " I could be dead before they get to see me " when we talked about this crazy long wait to see the surgeon. Even for them to call back with a huge hassle. hugs, carolg > > I did, too.

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 Sharyn, True, Gloria may not want to talk too much, but I bet company and a nice meal from Ernie's (ex hubby) wife she would love chowing down. She often spoke of the wife's delish meals that arrived as surprises. Keep us posted Sharyn. Thanks. carolg -- In health , " Sharyn E.

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 She was rushed to the hospital about 2 weeks ago for some tests after, I believe, she had been to see the quack again. This doctor had the report immediately, but works only half day on Fri. when Gloria took test. The doctor never got back to her for days and I think Gloria may have to call for results. She also received something in the mail, I believe from hospital, on outcome of this emergency test. So I assume if the advocate took her to the surgeon who had her records and was requesting biopsy, her going into the office in person got his attention, probably examined her, saw the xrays or whatever they did in hospital and we know the rest of the story. I see the main problem was with MD who was dragging her feet. I wonder how she hasn't been taken out of business yet. She could have killed Gloria if it wasn't for the Advocate and thankfully Sharyn starting the ball rolling. hugs, carolg > > I think she didn't want to complain to the list any more than she already > had. 8-( > > > > And I'm not sure just how this was discovered, but she was diagnosed with > breast cancer, and then when the advocate took her to the doctor for some > exam having to do with that, they immediately sent her in to surgery because > they discovered it had spread to her spine.

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 clarification: Gloria was told by dr. few weeks back to immediately go to hospital for tests in which she did. I called that " rushed " below as by doctor's order with her ex hubby, Ernie taking her. carolg > > > > I think she didn't want to complain to the list any more than she > already > > had. 8-( > > > > > > > > And I'm not sure just how this was discovered, but she was > diagnosed with > > breast cancer, and then when the advocate took her to the doctor > for some > > exam having to do with that, they immediately sent her in to > surgery because > > they discovered it had spread to her spine.

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 She had a lump in one breast for sometime. It was not checked into so she didn't have confirmed medical diagnosis. She didn't share about the lump to others. Now with this whole ordeal and probably recent tests, it was probably evident on them. Her one breast was " growing " very big per our recent conversation. I think on the back she had an injury way, way back--thought she said like 20ish years ago, but not 100% sure on this fact. Tomorrow is the Race for the Cure in Colorado. hugs, carolg > This is what happened, according to the advocate.
