Amputee life before and after...

Thursday, August 17, 2006

~I WENT !~

I did it lol.. I made it to the Dr. and back home in 2 half hours LOL..
I got there and the nurse says, "what are you doing here?, your
appointment is the 24th." i said "you said thursday", she says" ya,
the 24th! but i'll see if we can still see you" And they did.. I was
glad..wow..I'll be honest my first thought was..'I aint coming back
again now'..to myself.. So anyway, I now have 4 different kinds of
pills again..thyroid, and BP, which was EXTREMELY high..(really
was lol) and nurontin AGAIN.. and a new anti depressant..Yippeee..
lol. so here I go back on the pill routine..:-( ..

I read the paper that comes with the pills for the anti depressant..
it says: Before using this medicine warning..antidepressant medicines
may increase the risk of suicidal thoughts and behaviors in children
and possibly adults who have severe depression or other mood
disorders.. Now isnt that just Ducky!!! lol...and I have to gradually
increase the dosage a week at a time..hmmmm.. I wonder if I will
be able to write anything legible here after 4 weeks on them ! :-)
sure is a scarey thing to read tho... makes you wonder about some
of these kids that are on this kind of stuff because they are sort of
overactive, and the suicide rate is pretty high with kids.. Makes you
wonder. I still swear Prozac made my mother commit suicide..she
was fine till she got on that CRAP. On that for 3 months and they
were hauling my mothers body out of the river where she drowned
herself 8 months after my Dad died. No one will ever convince me
other wise on that..I saw the effects. I didnt have a watch, I asked the
time..she said its "1, 2, 3, 4.. it was 12:34 noon.. I didnt pick up
on it.. or the hallucinations she had..But then I didnt KNOW she
was on that CRAP..

According to my Dr. I do have to start having a home health nurse
start to come and check me out I think once a month. To monitor
this Blood Pressure and meds.. I really dont like that..but well she
feels this is necessary.. So I am waiting to see what and when..
She wanted me to come back in a day or so and go and have a
blood test and I asked if they could come to my home..and she
said yes..so I dont have to go there for that..They will all call and
let me know..

I was kinda mad sitting in that waiting room..chairs all in a U
shape and 2 in the center..I rolled in there and there was not
that first spot to conveniently put my chair and me out of the
way..I had to sit sideways In front of everyone else in there. I got
to chatting with everyone in the waiting room I always do that ..
well hell Im so conspicuous being stuck out there like that why
not? I chatted to a real nice lady and she even said she noticed
that as her mother I think she said is in a chair..that these Drs
offices and even hospital waiting rooms there is not a special
place for a chair!!! Now. .come on..A DOCTORS office.?. the
nurse comes and gets me..pulls me backwards into the back
part of the office and they had to move a scale and some other
things for my chair to get thru..WHY do they NOT take this into
consideration.They just dont seem to realize that it draws even
MORE attention to us that is NOT what we want, a chair is one
thing everyone stares at anyway but to make us be even MORE
obvious? I wasnt pleased and told them about it..I asked if I
was their only wheel chair patient.. she said "No".. I dunno ..but
see? just makes me wanna go back dont it? :-)

Ive still not heard about all this other crap I still have NO idea if
its dropped or what and I just have to say its dropped I just
cant keep dealing with this every day.. I cant.. it has to end.. If
they DO come well I just will have to deal with it then, this daily
worry ..I just cant do it anymore..Im a basket case now.. Maybe
these tranquilizers will help, theyre new.. so I dont know.. I have
to call tomorrow tho and remind them that they forgot to renew
my Nitroglycerin.. I need to have that.. This past week or so I
did have to take one a couple times, and they are the only
thing that does help the chest pains sometimes.. and I do get
them.. so anyway..............


I am SO tired.. not hungry I had the driver stop and get a burger
for me at Burger King and well its already gone thru if you wanna
know :-) Gawd.. I just tell EVERYTHING...well inquiring minds
wanna know LOL.. Im tired, been up most of the night and so
were the boys..we need to lay it down..Theyre over there waiting
for me ..:-) Im hittin the Publish, (hope it works , blogger has been
a buggar lately) and sayin Nitey Nite...

Y'all have a good one Y'hear? I LUV ya.. and THANKS!!!! :-)
Always,,, Lois ****

God Bless you is my prayer today,
I'm so honored to call you "friend";
I pray the Lord will keep you safe
until I write again..

    My Dear Lois,
    Just hope those meds help get that B.P. down - you can do without a high B.P. and all that it can cause. Hope the happy pills work OK for you, too. You certainly need something to lighten the load.
    Knowing that there are lots of guys out there rooting for you must help, though.
    Take care, Hon, lots of love and great big hugs from
    Raife
