On my last trip to my rheumie, we told him that I'm now feeling the bones separate when I move a certain way. The bones in the pelvic area. We had new xrays done that day. They show a large break in the bone that you sit on and when I sit on anything hard or even try to move my right leg too much. Like putting my pants on, it's extremely painful. So the rheumie decided that he'd send me to an ortho for a consult. He advised against surgery due to the fragile condition of my bones but felt he needed to refer me and get another opinion. So tomorrow, we start another saga. If they decide against surgery, I'm told by the rheumie that he will probably put me to bed for 6 months.

in 6 months with bedrest, I'll simply be insane. But I do have a very nice laptop that I'm hoping they will let me sit up in bed to use.

I've also seen the podiatrist this last week and one big toenail has come off and the other one is half way grown back. I was told this was from trauma. Not feeling my big toes. And the ankle that was broken is deforming. I have to have an ankle brace that is a hard plastic thing they will heat and then form to my foot to fit in my shoe to brace the ankle. Do you know how much I don't like wearing a closed shoe?! Well I guess it's not something to worry about since I'll be in bed for 6 months.

I so needed to gripe and complain. There's a lot more, but not tonight.
I was just so ready to complain.......I think that in spite of everything, I've been pretty good about not complaining. But there comes a day that every one of us needs to grumble. I'm really tired of doctors, tests, medicines, insurance, etc. etc. etc.

O.K. I'm thru with the rant.
