Default Thanks

They really wanted to get me in today once the nurse found out I have neuropathy and I'm NOT shy about telling them that I have neuropathy. It makes a big difference in how they treat your feet. I have an appt at 2:00 tomorrow. We took the bandaid off and reapplied ointment tonight and put another bandaid back on. That part of my foot has already had a morton's neuroma exploration there so I don't tolerate pain in that part of that foot anyway. It was left numb around the toe area but exquisitely painful back on the ball of the foot. Took forever to get the thing well.

Things always happen in bundles around here. Guess God thinks "Hmmm, she's got some slack time, can't have that." WHACK!!!! up side the head again with another sack full of trouble. Still battling that bladder thing, broken bones, hairy foot, and then we added a vascular surgeon to my group of specialist today. There is a vein on the side of one of my knees (think metal knees) that breaks and causes a large bruise. This happens at least once a week. So the ortho decided to send me to him. Personally I think that if the ortho had done his job properly I wouldn't have the problem in the first place. Oh welll......

And if that's not enough, my husband has been scheduled for eyelid surgery. Seems he didn't pass his vision test, he's been affected about 50%. He can't see anything that is in the upper quadrants of his vision due to the upper area of his eyelid sagging down over his eyes. So he has to have surgery in order to drive. He's a thin man so it's not fat, the doctor said it must have been hereditary.

And that back surgery didn't permanently fix the problem. Looks like he will wind up with the mess we all have. We've got an appt with the neurosurgeon next Monday. I get to learn to drive in Dallas again.

But back to the foot, it is very important for all of us to check these feet every few days. Right after a shower would be a good time.
