2010- The year of Change

yes...I know it has been a long time...guess I didn't have the heart.

Jan. 2010-Diagnosed with very long, large blood clot (DVT-look it up) in my right leg...at least I didn't have any in my left leg as before !!!
I was again thrown in the hospital overnight...segue to next morning...Small female doctor walks in "OK...we know about the clot...and you will have to take Warfarin (anti-coagulant) for the rest of your life...because you had a recurring problem. However, you also have diabetes...not just a little , but full-blown diabetes. You have high blood pressure, high cholesterol...the worst kind..."
Gee...thanks doc...could it be any better news ???
Since then...I have developed Glaucoma, Diabetic Nerve damage in my legs and up...hyercalcemia (gotta take out some parathroid glands) hyperthyroidism (gotta take the thyroid !) Rheumatoid Arthritis etc...etc...etc...
I am a walking ad for two people not having offspring, who could potentially have so many illnesses that have been passed down genetically !!
Oh....but we aren't done there...Hemotology work-up....the list goes on and on....
and I am trying to take care of my 86 YO mother who has Alzheimers !
But hey !!! I've lost 100lbs so far !!! Lol
That's enough for now...gotta save something for later............
