He told me it was serious but it was very very small. He also said there was no tearing of the aorta or even stressed areas visible which he has seen many times before.

We love you, LH, so that is why Kathy is slightly hysterical over this. I try not to be on the phone because I know how you don't react well to hysterical, but please take care of yourself.

Dear Lord people - we need to all meet up stat to have some sort of healing circle! Why has this dark cloud passed over us? Lady hawk - you are scaring me a bit BUT i know you are smart - but also STUBBORN( ahem like me) just please take care and dont take chances! We just all care about you --ya know?

LH, the Diva is now bonded to you. Think of her, your chickens, your family, your friends, and GET YOUR BUTT OUT THE DOOR. Yes, stay calm, but you best be on this or there will be a BUNCH of us up there kicking butt and dragging you to a decent hospital. WHERE is the closest decent doctor/internist/specialist/hospital?

Hey Girl! [LH]

I know you're not gonna be stupid about this. Stubborn, yes, stupid NO! You know your body better than any other soul on Earth, and I know you'll do whatever you deem necessary and appropriate for you.

Though I do worry about that damnable BP of yours and how badly it has been known to react to general anesthesia. I hope and pray that they can address your aneurysm with just a local and perhaps treat it laparoscopically.

Bear in mind, we're a big lot of worry warts because we love you.

So, please, if at all possible, keep us posted. OK? And if you're not up to it, please have Cheyenne do so. Don't worry about chicken chores or Diva Devotions. That's what you have Bill and Cheyenne for.

Please, please, PLEASE! Take extra good care of you! We want you around for many more decades to come!

Nella, Kathy and Beth.....You fine ladies need to stop lecturing LH about her health care practices until after you've each seen the doctor yourselves concerning your bouts with "The Plague"

Yes Nella, I know you have already sought out professional help for your case, but as you're apparently getting worse, it's time to go back and find out why! It could be a secondary opportunistic infection you know!

Knox, that sucks! Hang in there sweetie.

Brighter days surely must be right around the corner!

I hope!

LH____ wow! If you are waiting for rx remember no lifting, no jogging no anything that will cause stress on the abdomen. PLEASE, a small aneurysim will be larger when you are up or sitting. No picking up buckets etc. PLEASE find you a expert to deal with this now.!!! We love you Gloria Jean

Nella - the plague LOL
Shall we call her typhoid Mary?

I called Kathy last night and we talked, she helped a great deal because she is thinking along the same lines I am....all of this has to be interconnected and someone is missing something somewhere. I mean it starts with a sinus infection then a URI, then this calcified lymphe node thing shows up on the chest x ray (which did not show up on the chiro's x rays), and now this. Something somewhere is creating a chain of events or there is an underlying problem that is missing. My gut tells me this is coming from the endocrinology area and the surgical happy endo. I mean he has played with my medication for my BP and this thyroid medication but amazingly enough the only thing he has checked since this all started has been my T3, T4, TSH and liver enzymes.

What this means to me and in my mind is. A) if the clinic doc found the thyroid issue and did 2 CDC panels...what else has changed since July on a full CDC Panel since in almost 4 months? How would he know if aanything else is being affected by all this mucking around he is doing? So, I am waiting for Tricare to call me back bbut I may just run over to the clinic doctor with the x ray in hand and have him refer me out if need be. Meanwhile, this TOOTH

. But it gets pulled at 10 am tomorrow so if I can survive one more day with it I should be okie dokie in that area anyway.

I will keep you all posted, I promise and I am not ignoring it nor am I overdoing anything....I am walking around, doing minor things like dishes I am going to go take care of Diva Do this morning (I do not think throwing a couple flakes of hay and her two scoops of feed will hurt me as it weighs nothing and I will take my time and do it separately. She will wait albeit not happily. Aside from that I will open the coop door and let the beasts out.

Amy, thanks. Unfortunately they only use open abdomen surgery (6 wk recovery period eeewwww) or vascular surgery (2 wk recovery) but someone ramming something into my leg vein to repair this thing is somehow not appealing to me because I believe I would be awake through like sort of like angioplasty whatever. While I have a high pain tolerance, the lying there still and letting someone hurt me without swinging goes against my nature. Hahahahaha

Will report back later.

LH - Dear Lord - this is crazy - i hate when docs mess with things and meds and so forth - A good friend had the same thing and had to have his spleen removed due to the meds he was on. I just hope they get this all figured out. And if i hear of you over doing you stubborn thing - i will be on your doorstep in a heart beat - and NOT to share my goat marshmallows!
PLEASE take care ok - and yes keep us updated~!~~~~~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Cetawin]
