Need: Wow! That is nuts! That is rather bold of your cousin to invite you to go out to lunch when she and her family are all anti vaxxers. She is not respectful.

Llama,

It’s sad, isn’t it? And this is why COVID cases are rising! As long as people like my cousin are behaving irresponsibly, it will continue to get worse. They aren’t taking it seriously. It’s total ignorance! How can they ignore the enormous amount of people who have died from COVID? Ochsner just released stats, we have an increase of people in our hospitals. Most are ones that haven’t been vaccinated, but even people who have been vaccinated are in the hospitals. People that have underlying health issues are at the greatest risk.

Need: Yes, it is very sad! That Delta Variant is going to be scary for the people who aren't vaccinated. How is your daughter and yes, I know she is vaccinated. Going to bed soon as DH has hernia surgery in the morning.

Llama,

She is feeling better, but says she is extremely tired. I guess it will take awhile to regain her energy.

Sending prayers for your husband.

I went for my breast biopsy this afternoon. It was not bad. I was a little nervous not knowing what to expect. The technicians were wonderful and the radiologist was great. The only thing that bothered me was the insertion of pain med into my breast a lot of burning and there was a pop and I jumped. They told me I did great. I am glad it is over. My mom, brother and niece were in the waiting room. Results in seven days.

EB, Prayers sent your way.

My biopsy was totally different. I was under anesthesia. So, I wasn’t aware of anything.

I do not have breast cancer in my immediate family. I am surprised though, I know several people who have had breast cancer and they have absolutely no family history of it.

Hope biopsy results will be favorable, early.

I am done, two hour surgery. Only incision pain and achy arms evidently from reversal of anesthesia. NO DRAINS! Now hope to nap, it is 130. I have been awake since 2am, with exception of anesthesia of course,

Nighty night.😘

No family history here either.

EB, do you have a portal to access test results? I do, but don't read them anymore. Too much medical mumbo jumbo, that I do not understand. I now wait for the doc's call for use of terms that I will understand.

I went to see a new podiatrist today about my severe foot pain after I received the second Covid vaccine. He told me he did not think it was from the vaccine. Results came back from the MRI from last Friday.He discussed this with me and said my foot was a mess and a lot of problems.
Plantar fasciitis main problem
Multiple sprains to foot ligaments from mild to moderate
cyst second metatarsal
tendinitis and arthritis throughout right foot

Plan
Fitted me for a $50 Pro Orthotic Support and if does not work and relieve my pain he will fit me for custom $400 Orthotics next week another followup

At least I know there was something very wrong with my foot. He did say it can be healed with exercise and correct Orthotics

This past Thursday I took my husband to have his inguinal hernia surgery. Had insomnia on Wednesday night. I had a plan to hydrate and eat very well, which I did. I even brought 4 ham and cheese with us plus drinks. My plan failed and I had x12 colon upsets in rapid succession. Two weeks ago I had failed to eat when I drove him to 2 procedures. While waiting on Thursday for him, I experienced a near syncope episode and promptly advocated for myself before being unconscious. I walked into the surgery center front desk and told them. They brought me to the rear and they called EMS for me. Our daughter had to take over to get her Daddy later that day when he was finished. I stayed overnight in the hospital and had blood work, heart function and the 3 standard meals. Originally they were going to send me home at midnight, but the Hospitalist okayed the overnight stay. My daughter of course had to pick me and I was released at 6 PM on Friday. Daughter and I had then had to p/u my husband's RXs and also mine. Scheduled to see my gastroenterologist. An elder such as myself can (and did in my case) become dehydrated quickly.
