Guest guest Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 hang inther u ar don good I made it through PT. Have any of you had it before. OMG, it was evil. Today, I am very swollen and sore, (the therapist said I would be) BUT, my elbow is straight enough I am going to try to get my badly needed pint of blood drawn. It's $40.00 each time I go to PT, so I will do the exercises at home and go back on the 2nd for a follow up. I am off today, just worked six days and I am feeling sluggish. Good indicator that it's time for phlebotomy. Having the pint drawn wipes me out, so I will spend the rest of the day resting, and then clean house tomorrow after my two doctor's appointments. Thank you, all of you, for the encouragement and support. xoxo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 Thanks. It's been six weeks since the fracture. My elbow was like this ( when I went in to PT, it's still not " normal " but straighter than it was yesterday morning. I feel like a hypocondriac. I go see the othro tomorrow morning, then to poditary after that. My foot is so swollen and sore, and I can barely walk. I had this problem last year and was told it is planter feshitis. Let's add one more thing to the list. I went to my parents for coffee this morning after dropping my daughter off at school. My mom asked me to take a leave of absence from work while I try to get better. Too many things happening to me at once. I told her I'm going to try to keep chugging along as long as I can. I may need the LOA when I start Chemo. YEA, the blood and tissue center just called... I can go in at 10:00, gotta get ready. Y'all are the best and I love all of you. > > congrats!!

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 just a reminder, that your medical concerns are not only REAL but even VISIBLE you are NOT a hypochondriac!! don't even THINK it, please!!!! You are a person, like most on this list, who recognizes a medical problem and is DOING something about it! That is very very good in my not humble opinion! <grin> Jean From: Sent: Tuesday, January 19, 2010 9:42 AM To: BeingSick Subject: Re: better update Thanks. It's been six weeks since the fracture.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 Hi , hang on..i tried PT before for my neck pain, I do agree it does cause quite a lot of discomfort. But I did learn lots of stuff from the therapist. I guess no pain, no gain sometimes.. But if it gets unbearable, let the therapist know, therapy is not supposed to cause misery, it's supposed to help us improve at our comfortable pace! Ling better update > > > > I made it through PT.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 You are such a sweetheart. Yes, I know I do have some very serious health issues, my two biggies are fatal if not treated. It just seems like I get a new diagnosis and something else crops up. Thank you for always being here when we need you. By the way, I did make it to the Blood and Tissue Center. I went down one from 50 to 49 WOOHOO!!!!!!! I told them to fill the bag, I went way over a pint before my elbow started stressing out. I got home at 11:30, slept until time to pick up my daughter from school and went back to bed until 7:00. Doing a little bit of laundry and going back to bed. This fatigue is for the birds. > > > > congrats!! I know that PT can be tough sometimes. > > Hurray that your elbow is 'straight enough' already!! > > power to you!
