Granny's gone and done it again

[h2oratt]

Good morning, Twist. I am off to buy more building materials. Husband fell out of a tree with a running chain saw yesterday but refuses to go see a doctor. Even though he fell on another tree. Stubborn men. At least he was willing to take a pill.
Hope everyone has a great day.

THats awful hope your hubby is ok.

people can walk around with fractures. I have done it myself with no pain pills.
You are absolutly right in wanting to wait but maybe not a month. get a good cuff and track it at home. What was your BP ,? Maybe its dangerous high?
She was way out of line Camp.

she also insinuated you were a drug addict IMO

Google says that it takes three separate high readings for a diagnosis. I only have two.

I saw her three years ago when my on referred me for high bp. She said "your bp isn't high and I'm not going to treat you for something that's fine." Today she said "well where have you been for three years?" So I reminded her of that statement.

My bp was high, and she wants me on meds. Thinking of wishing's dad I asked if we could wait a month, let me keep losing weight, check again. She said no.

We started talking about my feet. She said we never talked about foot pain three years ago, why was I bringing it up now? Said the bone scan had nothing to do with feet or fractures. But I remember them looking at my scans and asking if I was in pain, and I remember being told there were no fractures in my heels. I told her i was concerned there were fractures and she said it isn't possible. People don't walk around with fractures. I said "maybe fracture isn't the right word but SOMETHING is NOT RIGHT." She asked how many pills I take a day, I said none. She threw her hands in the air, said no way I could be in enough pain to think my feet are fractured and NOT be taking pills. Said she could refer me to a podiatrist, but all he would say is "lose weight and exercise."

Every time she said "weight" she looked at my gut. It was all just very mean. I can handle harsh truths and tough love, but this was nasty.

Fire her! Not many folks that are over weight like being that way. I could stand to lose 60 pounds. But i just can't seem to lose it no matter what i give up or how much i work. I feel like i am on the verge of collapse but i keep on pushing myself. Bet i could sleep right now if i went to bed.
There are good doctors out there. Stand up for yourself and find one!

She insinuated a lot of things. I have a friend who ran a marathon with a fractured foot.

It's fine. I went to a church to work on some camp promo stuff and got to visit the pastor for a bit. She's just a couple years older than I am and pregnant with her third. It was good to just girl talk a bit.

going through the hole and ripping something. she thinks because its attached at the stomach now it is looped/twisted to get up there

It will be fine, those doctors do procedures like that all the time. She could get a second opinion if she wants.

bottom # is high camp but maybe not stroke high or MI so I would test at home but dont wait around to do it either

He may have busted some ribs, who knows? But he is moving around and eating so i guess he will be ok. Thanks.

I've lost 18.5 lbs in the past six weeks and I told her that. She wasn't willing to hear it. But I'm sure she heard it all the time. I'm supposed to go back to her in two weeks.
