I took Liza to the Vet hospital this morning. The past couple of days she’s not drinking water. She’s eating a little, but no water. Very concerned. The vet is giving her IV fluids and they’re going to run tests. I hope to know something this afternoon. Poor girl. My daughter suggested it may be a urinary infection. Hopefully I’ll know more once the lab work is done.
Then, as if I’m not already at capacity, my namesake nephew (toddler) has been having problems and they found that his skull is pressing on the base of his brain. He’s scheduled or surgery next Friday to repair it.
I’ve been told that God will only give you what you can handle. I’m to a point that I’m not sure God has all the facts.
Me? I’m maintaining. My breathing is better, but I’m still fatigued and clammy. I’ll mention that at my next appointment. Maybe my thyroid? Just a guess. The disease is known for causing autoimmune problems. I know it’ll take time to get to the bottom of all this, but I’m having a hard time accepting that. My daughter has been wonderful support. My lifeline. I know I’m blessed.
I’m still waiting for a follow up chest X-ray. Maybe that’ll happen yet this week. Who knows. The clinic forgot to order the test
I did find an online support group that accepted me and all of my health issues. That’s been a positive experience so far. Here’s a link if you feel you need support: https://wearebodypolitic.com.
The weather has been very hot here (100° yesterday) and I don’t think it would be the best idea I’ve ever had to do the yard work myself. So I had to hire someone to mow and trim my lawns. He stopped by Tuesday evening to take care of that for me. I feel better just having that much done. I told him I’d probably need his help for several weeks.
More research is needed!
With the infection rates dropping, Maybe the medical community and researchers will begin adjusting their focus and spend more resources on diagnosis and treatment for those of us with long term health effects. Like I said a couple days ago, the only thing I can do right now is treat symptoms as they pop up – and try to not go insane while waiting for real answers.
Well, that’s all I really have for you today. I’ve not heard anything on Liza, yet. Hopefully soon. I’ll post an update when I have information worth sharing.
Thanks for sticking around. I really appreciate all of you.
