Amputee life before and after...

~Merry Christmas~


 
Another year almost gone.. and what a year this
has been... came in mild I remember but boy its
sure goin out with a BANG! for me hey? :)

Lots of new info but I want to wish all of you a
very     .
I hope Santa is good to you...

The new info about this last 'episode' in all the
ButterflyLois drama... It most definitely was a
massive heart attack. I'm on 4 new pills, 3 as in
THREE are blood thinners.. 1 is to regulate my
heartbeat, amiodarone. They give you papers
to read about what your're taking, and the very
first sentence, and I quote "this medication is
only to be given in life threatening situations".
That was comforting..  scared me, THEN it said
not to take with Plavix, and one other med I take.
I'm up to 16 pills in the morning, and 5 at night.
I hate taking pills, BUT if I miss a dose I could
trigger another attack from that...

THIS heart attack was caused because my blood
level had dropped so drastically, I got 2 pints of
blood.. Well a heart is like a car, no oil, she don't
run! That's how it is with a heart too... The heart
specialist that talked to me was the same one from
2 years ago that gave me less than a year.. He even
remembered me~!!!  I reminded him of what he said,
and that I was a year past my deadline, would you
believe he denied telling me that? I cant believe
he would think Id make something like that up so
I could be depressed every day for these past 2
days with that CRAP hanging over my head.. He
again denied it but I told him anyway about saying
that .. I honestly hope he doesn't say that EVER..
SO.. my heart is very damaged... It cannot be fixed.
Not even a heart transplant would work, cuz I kept
that thought in my head, wondering. Apparently the
veins and the arteries are damaged they wouldn't
handle a new heart... so they gave me these new
meds and hope that will give me another 20 years :)

I'm STILL waiting for the chair repair... person... He
was sposta be here the 20th, Thursday to fix my joy
stick and put new batteries.. I waited ALL day for him.
He didn't show up, no call, nothing... I called Wright &
Philipis and asked "whats up doc?"  Well apparently they
called here the day before I got home from hospital &
of course got no answer, they called to tell me the guy
wasn't coming.. they didn't bother to try to REALLY reach
me... SO NOW, I have to wait till JAN. 2nd for him to come
and do this chair.. I hope it can make it that long.. It shuts
off and on when ever it wants, sometimes I have to stab
that little hole with a pen 50 times for it to turn on, THEN
if I hit that the wrong way it BEEPS and STILL wont MOVE!,
So , its more jabbing to shut it off then back on... This is so
aggravating, and Ill tell ya zanax aint calming me down too
very good with this huge STRESSER!!

We got not one bit of that snow storm.. Ive not heard
if Kelly made it to Wisconsin ok... This GORGEOUS
WEEBLE is gonna watch my boys, THE PACKERS
WIN AGAIN!!! lol... GO PACK !
Y'all have a merry Christmas, Happy new year too!
Ill try to be back before then ... I'm very restricted
as to what I can do, you'd think I was sick or something..

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.....

    Oh Lois I am so mad at that darn chair repairman!! People who don't have the problems with mobility don't seem to have much compassion for us that do. I hope you get the chair fixed soon. You have a Merry Christmas too and I hope you are around for a good long time!
