Wow, thanks for all the replies. Liza Jane I've known for two years I have been remiss in not asking for copies of my tests. The saving grace for my doctors is they can all bring up my stuff on the hospital computers, the down side is not all my work has been done there. Yes, I will make some phone calls and start that right away, I may ask for your help on some of it if that is okay.
I did write my email on my daughters paper, first, I expressed my feelings on not contacting me prior to the printing but most importantly I corrected a couple things they got wrong. I know the paper will save someone else's life, I had already given a scientist permission to take blood and records to research and maybe help babies born with this condition. I did consent to autopsy, no other family should ever go through this, it was a horrible illness and it was a horrible time for my daughter and for us.
I just read in this Sunday's Parade magazine the importance of a medical family tree, so I will work on that as well. I knew I needed to type down my meds and questions and lazily never got around to it. Things like my elbow is swollen for the last couple of days, did I cause this by leaning on them. This morning my trigger thumb is back, third time and now the Dr. will want to do the surgery to release the tendon. I forgot to tell the rheumy about my achilles tendon tightening up on me in the last few months making walking a challenge, so yes I need to work on that.
I did my research on benzene when I realized that cancer is rampant in this valley, my grandson, my daughters best friend, another fellow my grandson's age. Four middle-aged men that belong to my credit union are all battling cancer of pancreas/liver, I know this because I do collections and am helping them through their fianances. Breast cancer is off the charts, in thirty through forty year old women here. I thought about contacting Erin Brocovich since I know she has the resources now to do something. I also know that here in Montana thyroid cancer is high in milk drinkers my age. Thank you for doing your nuclear testing in Nevada when the jet stream was going north. I also think Chernobyl has added to it, that jet stream was coming to us in what they call the "artic clipper".
I see I am starting to get on my soap box, I know I can do that here. I also know I am responsible for my own health and that sometimes I need a little prodding to head in that direction, thank you all! Everyone have a great Sunday, I would like to give a certain principal in Texas a major wedge and throw in a swirly to boot, being attack because you have health problems by your boss is unbelievable. My boss has been absolutely fantastic about my health problems, I can even do part of my job from home..
