All these complications and no diagnosis for the fluid. He is able to breathe now without oxygen, but any exerion leaves him breathless.My Mom is disabled so I help her through the day and in the afternoon I visit Dad. Monday when I woke up my hand was swollen and red. I always have burning and some swelling but this is one uguly looking hand. Still waiting for a wc decision from my appeal hearing. Life is rough but love and God must keep me going, because I'm exhausted!! So hello to everyone it's been awhile. May pain levels be low, and life full.
