i haven't felt well for a couple of weeks now. My family likes to point out that is was the 20+ hours of filling sandbags that did we in, along with out three trips a week to St Louis, Missouri and I have lost counts of how many trips to the grocery store and yea Walmart.
So Wednesday I received a call to let me now that I could get my teeth pulled ut on Friday......I was soo happy. Anyway, I had a doctor appt with my Rheumy and her informed me that I was most definantely in a flare and that I needed ABG's. Well, thry came back pathetic and gt me sent to the ER of our local hospital. Well, I was lucky enough to get one of the mosy idiotic pretty boys. We actually got into a fight and he wasn't going to admit me until he spoke with my Primary and he said put me ain and let the rest fall where it may. Well, as it turns out my chest xray has increased pneumonia and another repeat of blood gases shoes that my labs were much worse and that a ventilator is not too far out of my reach. The next question would be why and what did I run into. Was it just being out in the cmmunity or was it all of the times that I spent down shoveling sandbags. Oh, so much to pnder my brain hurts.
I hope all is well for everyone else stil fighting the good cause. I want to thank everyone eho has sent memos letting me know that you are thinking of us if our time of need, just like we do here for everyone because no matter what race, sex, education, location, etc, etc....we are all brothers and sisters fighting the same fight. So let us all still stick together and fight a fight and take each others backs and help find a cure for Lupus as well as everything else.
