Naw, I had one of those, except for the well endowed part,
and it was of no special use at all.:mad::D:D

If I could get a new body in this life time, it would have four legs, fur, whiskers, meow..and live with Mrs. D, Kitty or one of the other wonderful animal lovers on here :winky:.

I saw my PCP yesterday and all is coming along well with the healing of the surgical wound. He took the stitches out and part of the wound opened up but he said that it looked fine and to be healing well deeper in, so he put a butterfly on it so it could drain. I see him again on Monday.

He prescribed Celebrex to try for pain and inflammation but after two doses, I'm afraid that it isn't for me as it is causing swelling in my face and extremities, just like Lyrica did.
He said that we could try Naproxin, but I have tried that before and it did nothing. So, its back to Ibuprofen or nothing at all.

He checked my shoulder and was concerned because the ball is slipping downward quite easily in the socket, and seems to be putting pressure on the blood vessels and nerves to the arm when it does that. I'm being extra careful with it and keeping the elbow supported to prevent that, and have been doing some strengthening exercises to tighten the joint up. He said that it if doesn't resolve in the next couple of weeks, that I'm probably looking at surgery.

The hand joints have settled down a bit and I'm really happy about that, although the pinky is still swollen and achy. It is coming around as well though.
All in all, everything seems to be slowly improving, my energy and alertness is great and I haven't had any of the narcoleptic sleeping episodes at all :).

With love, Erika
