I'm researching the materials for a DIY stairway ceiling. I want to enclosed it sooner rather then later. It will keep the house cooler over summer and warmer over winter. Might as well do it while we are recuperating at home.
Physical therapist was here today and she said the nurse who does the wound dressing can also do lab work. Then DH won't need to get a sore bum just to give some blood

Hey Becky, how are you doing?

Eh....3.5 weeks left in the pillow sling. Really not doing too bad. My frustration level is off the chart, though. I'm trying to do as much as I can with my limited range of motion in my right hand and forearm and my shoulder is letting me know that it isn't approving of that idea. The swelling is down though and the bruising under my arm is fading. Today I was able to gently rub my shoulder for the first time so I guess all in all I'm slowly doing better I just want to feel better NOW dang it!

How about you? How are you feeling?

I give up, what is a stairway ceiling?

Cynthia, I'm sorry about the lupus, Honey. If it's not one darn thing, it's three ...

I just had to get a blood draw today to test my Vit D level, not a scan. He said I probably don't need to take supplemental calcium, I need Vit D to help my body utilize calcium. Interesting. I do need a bone scan for osteoporosis though, I haven't had one in a couple of years. And he said I may be able to come in for a shot of some kind once every six months. Darn I can't remember what shot but I'm sure it's for bones. Prolia? Does that sound right? I sure don't want to break a hip so if this will prevent that, sure, why not?

@Cynthia12. Lupus ? Bummer.I've known several people with it and have been tested several times myself. Thankfully always negative. I'll add another virtual hug for you and keep you in my prayers.

Blue, my friend before doing Prolia, read about the side effects. I took it for 2 years. my latest Dexiscan showed improvement but my doc wanted me to continue Prolia since I wasn't showing osteoporosis but I was showing bone thinning, I told him I always took his advice but in a word, NO I would not continue Prolia. The side effects were wrecking my quality of life.

DH asked my Ortho how he thought my MRI looked osteo wise and he said outside of a few bone spurs, not bad. Some arthritis but I knew that.

I plan to take all my MRIs in when I see him again and ask him what more can I do to strengthen my bones.

Seriously guys who do you trust? Makes me wonder how deep in Big Pharma pockets are our doctors anyway?

They may have figured out what's happening with my grandson. They had to take him to the ER last night because he developed a goose egg sized red spot on his arm, along with all the other red spots all over him. This doctor that tended to him decided that it's a rare reaction to the antacid medicine he takes regularly. The condition is called Erythema multiform. So she didn't give him the antacid medicine today and he's already some better. I hope they can figure out something for the acid problem.
