What one word will have your stress levels going through the roof?

For me the word metastatic will do it.
The ER added the word metastatic to DH diagnosis. I asked his Dr yesterday and found out it was incorrect. What a relief

I find they continue to misdiagnosis people
Giving wrong meds and treatment which ma
Take care kes things worse for the patient
Thankfully it was incorrect and they find the right treatment for you

I picked Toms ashes up today. I had to go alone as Robert had Drs. at the same time. Made my first payment and paid for the death cert. as well.Aug. should be my last payment. I left there and went to welfare where they told me the only way to get food stamps was if Robert cooked his meals separately from me. Well he does so I brought an app. home. Went to pharmacy and still made it home before Robert.

I completely understand what you are going through Granny
Please know I'm always here for you
Much love

Take care everyone

What a description of mating elephants. Not sure what your talking about in me being my own advocate but it sure tickled me.

Mork from Ork!

Being your own best advocate means that you put on your armor over your big girl panties, pick up a sword in the form of an 'I ain't taking no crap from anybody nor am I giving up' attitude and you march into battle every morning that you have to get on the phone to deal with some 'official' who thinks they know what is best for you instead of what you know is best for you and your family. Like I said. You are stronger than you give yourself credit for being. I know. While praise God, I haven't lost my precious husband, I have lost my parents, first to dementia and disease and secondly to death. As their daughter and caregiver I was the one going to battle for them and myself. I never thought of myself as being as strong as I discovered that I am.

Woke up to sunshine this morning. Only 40 degrees out though so a chilly one but hey! No snow and no ice so it's a good day!

I feel for you!

Thanks. Yes it made the shoulder surgery harder as I couldn't take any of the anti-inflammatory NSAIDS that they wanted me to take afterwards. They wound up pumping me full of steroids and Toradol IV afterwards but they only lasted about three weeks then the fun began. Ultram, Flexeril and Tylenol every 6 hours to ease the pain off and the Flexeril caused my short term memory to take a vacation. Couldn't remember the dogs names and had to stop taking it. Afterwards the doctor congratulated me and said I had made it through one of the top 5 most difficult procedures to recover from and did great. Ummmmm.....don't think I want to do it again though.

I remember being on that phone so many different times after my sweetheart passed. Helped. Also helped during my mourning process. Kept me busy. Frustrated at times, but busy. Nights? As Granny put it, surprised I wasn't dehydrated.

He’s a bit overly excited after 6 weeks without them. but he’ll get better. We’ve only been on a few so far. I gotta get back into our daily walks and long walks. Right now we’re sticking to shorter ones until we both build back some more endurance and stamina.
