-sends healing wishes to Rags- Get better, Brother. You are loved and missed greatly!
-sends a lot of huggles to kadibear and her daughter- I am sorry to hear of your loss, know that you and your daughter are in our thoughts and prayers. I have lit a candle for your daughter, as well as one for you.
Sounds like a wonderful way to spend Christmas with your daughter, Hippie! Just take your time while driving and the two of your will return home in one piece.
What a beautiful and special Christmas gift, to be able to put the stress and worry of the fight for your grandchild's well-being behind you, is the greatest gift anyone could ever hope for!
As for me... We, my doctor and I, might have found out what is causing my high fevers, vomiting, nausea and abdominal pain. We have narrowed the long list down to a small handful. I have learned that part of the problem is that I have 3 or 4 uterine cysts, which after the New Year we will find out if surgery is going to be required to remove them, or go the route of leaving them be and keeping an eye on them. But that has nothing to do with the main problem, just something that was found while going through testing.
On the positive side of things, it looks like I may have found a doctor/surgeon to treat me for the bursitis in both my hips, again, this will happen after the New Year. I will more than likely be going in for surgery on my left knee, only for arthroscopic surgery, though my orthopedic doc is fighting with the insurance company to get me in for a partial knee replacement for my right knee as the deterioration is going much faster than he first thought and the insurance company wants him to do another arthroscopic instead, which is not an option at this point.
So things are starting to look up in some ways and not so much in another, but with the New Year just around the corner, literally, that could all change.
