Today I.... went to the ortho for my knee. Need an MRI before I can get any answers. He said that some of the areas where it was hurting were worrisome, while some weren't. Don't quite know what to make of it, but I want to get this fixed asap.

Linda- If i remember correctly, you should be getting your test results back on wednesday, right? I hope they come back favorably for you.

Dabbo, Yes I should get results today. My elbow is still swollen and painful but the hot redness has pretty much gone away. I think the antibiotics are working.

We went to my sons football banquet last night. It is the first time he has really done anything since the accident. I think it was alittle tiresome for him but nice to see all his friends. We're hoping to get him to school next week. I just have to get instructions from his doctor while his coaches are making the arrangements. I think if he goes for a couple of hours a day that would help him.

Hope everyone has a great day! Linda

Today -

I have to deal with the three exams that the ins. co. (in w/c) set up for me HOURS away from my house, and I can't travel like that at all anymore. So, I've got to make faxes, make calls, etc., practically send up SMOKE SIGNALs to get my attorney's secretary's attention...it IS frustrating folks.

Today -

I am upset because I can't talk to my friends (you TOSers) like I want because my ears / face pain is so bad! Waiting for it to calm down. I think it comes from the TINY bit of paddling I do in the pool with my swim board - holding my head out of water.

Today -

I am thinking about all of the TOSers and hoping you guys all have really wonderful Christmases (or whatever holiday / religion you have.) Lots of love, cheer, maybe a pretty Christmas tree or going for a drive to see pretty lights. Just wanting LOVE for you all.

Today - I should be running errands and cleaning the house, maybe even go for a run. But instead Im being lazy and sitting here in my p.j.s with a cup of coffee!

Hope you all have a more productive day than it looks like Im going to have!

MOM... Every now and again you need to say what the heck and kick back and relax ... and run the errands later

Tam... I am worried about how you are feeling, and wish I could provide some answers your way!!! Your worry toward others is admirable,maybe you should start devoting some of that time on yourself, I think people here would understand! Do Take Care!!!!

Lin... How's things with the elbow??? Also, how is your son after being out and about, one thing he has going for him is youth they hav a tendency to spring back! Is he doing Crutches, walker or chair?

Dabbo... I can not blame you for wanting to get your knee back in order ASAP, GOD knows you have enough on your plate as is!

Today I... went in for my weekly tune up on my pump, I finally am starting to feel some results from it, the trade off is I am tiered my mouth is dry. What scares me is that once they get me to a high enough level to mask pain somewhat is it possible to damage my body worse by over doing daily tasks etc...?

Unto all I send along my wish for a pain free day!!!

Today...I cried but in a weird way. I wanted to scream more than cry. I'm upset in a ****** way...if that makes any sense

I scheduled my appt to meet with the surgeon on the 14th to go over the surgery and all the tests that need to be done prior to the surgery. I was told the surgery will be the beginning of Jan...so I guess I know what my New Year's resolution will be !

Also, Today I am in so much pain and it just won't stop! I have chest pain, back pain, all over pain and I'm tired...very very tired.

Peachy... who are you seeing around here for surgery and who is treating your TOS ??? Luck would have it I was DXed early on by Dr Togut before I had to much run around, unforunately the old boys network in the court system turned me down for workmens comp here in the Valley!!! I, am still tossing it back and forth going out to see to see Dr Sander in Colorado... yeah just waiting for one of these flares for a clot to go to the lungs, brain or heart oh well than it will be quick what else can I say I... welcome by and yes scream away !!!!!!!!!!!
WE ARE HERE TO LISTEN

First, Today I am ok but... First I fund out I have an infection in my arm but they (the nurses) won't say anything else. I have to go back tomorrow. They had left a message on my cell phone because I was supposed to go this morning and I had forgotten. I wonder why??? I go in tomorrow. As I am sure you all know, nurses usually don't tell you stuff, you have to wait for the doctors. It, my elbow, feels alittle better but still swollen. I am being a good girl and taking the antibiotics.

I am so tired that when my alarm went off this morning, it took 40 minutes to hear it. That has NEVER happend to me. I want to shut myself in a room, comfortable pillows, blankets, pj's and sleep. Just wake up when I am ready.

I don't recall ever being so tired. Hope everyone has a good night. Linda

Today I found out I have a staph infection in my arm. Have no idea how I got it but am being switched to a different antibiotic. The withrew more fluid today. What fun! Linda
