I'm back and catching up on all the posts. Seems as if there are a lot of new folk since I disappeared. We are almost moved. Just a few more carloads and then a few pieces to be donated to the local women's shelter. The housekeeper comes tomorrow and we will hopefully get it all done faster. The new place is starting to feel more homey. Still can't find everything I've put up tho. This will come with time.

The knee will have to have a second opinion. Seems the vascular surgeon didn't send the letter with the info in it that he told me he would. I asked for and received a name for a second opinion. The veins continue to break badly but according to the local guy, there's nothing wrong. Come on now!!...

I've done a lot of things during this move that have caused problems and all of it was done because of just being completely exhausted. I won't even bore you with all the details. Just stupid dumb stuff because of being over tired.

I see the neuro this Weds. My neuro symptoms have excellerated but I think it's because of the increase in inflammation. We will see. I can't seem to spell words correctly. That's probably because of being too tired also.

I'll try to catch up with all of you.

Welcome back!!!!

It's good the move is almost complete, then you can relax!!!

Thanks for the progress report, Billye.

Say, this vein thing... are these spider type (small varicose)
veins, that are breaking?

If so I have some suggestions.

If it is mechanical-- the veins being pushed against the hardware, then my ideas won't work. But if it is internal, that is another thing.

PM me if you want or answer here.

we believe it is an adhesion. That the area is somehow not freely moving. We may be totally wrong. But my Rheumatologist and his PA agree with us. The ortho just did an xray and said "It's fine." But it's not fine.

--hope you can get a little more rest and relaxation now, at least.

Personally, I think that the setting up of your new household, and the discarding of the unneeded, can take place over a long period of time. (Say, two decades. )

Hang in there, and drop in when you are able. (I'll try to do the same, as soon as insane Fall test prep season slacks off a bit.)

Hi. I'm glad to see you back on the boards.

Hope you are getting along okay!!

Take care,
Melody

Many thoughts. I hope you are feeling better now. I am sorry again for all your struggles. How do you like your new place?
