Off for another ear balance test....probably just another waste of my time, and gas, along with medicare/tricare $$..then on to the Uro for my bladder this afternoon, and the skin fold infection that is setting in...one the GYN made when he took out the plumbing in 98....wonder if since the back surgeon ruled out the back as the cause, they will ever find the cause of the bladder pain looks like that is my lot in life...I feel like Job must have felt.

Back to square one the back doc sent me to the Torture PIT, I CANCELLED the appointment after I got the paper work and found out all they do is what has failed, only they can write Rx’s for all kinds of nasty side effect riddled drugs and do nerve blocks and send you to shrinks asked all kinds of social related question...privacy invasion deluxe...and it would take nearly all day to repeat tests already done. H. NO, I can barely walk now. I told him first visit NO PT, NO PILLS, NO NERVE BLOCKS...they don’t listen...even with my reduced hearing I heard him tell his trainee ‘I was a Complicated, DIFFICULT case to treat’. What is so hard about REPAIRING A BAD BACK and NOT writing RX’s for side effect riddled drugs I can’t take.

I heard on the news last night some guy got a new face, tongue and teeth...then why can’t they put some simple silicone into the non existing fat pads of my foot?

Done a lot of talking to my shrink...the Great I AM
Done a lot of meditating...praying
Done a lot of bio feed back, played gospel music on my ancient Ipod over the past few days as I lay on the heating pad sleepless.

Come to a big conclusion, I may not have a medical education, but I google research, and they don’t like that one bit, as I go in armed with knowledge. With the exception of the Thyroid and Fibromyalgia everything else is REPAIRABLE surgically. Thyroid and Fibro are med managed. Welcome to 0’care early.

Hubby is afraid I am going to get us blackballed and then we will have no doctors and we both have health issues....he didn’t listen to me about 0’care..there will be no doctors for seniors unless it is imported non English speaking ones, not with a $8 TRILLION gut to Medicare, much less what they did to Tricare Life for the retired over 65 Military. As it is now all we get to see is the PC’s NPA on a Tuesday. Specialist are another critter, some will take some won’t for now.

Trust Me
March 29, 2012

When I was a little girl, my aunt and uncle took me to Lake Michigan. While some of my cousins ventured far out into the waves, I played close to shore. Then my Uncle Norm asked me, “Can you swim?” “No,” I admitted. “Don’t worry,” he said. “I’ll take you out there.” “But it’s too deep,” I protested. “Just hang on to me,” he assured me. “Do you trust me?” Then I took his hand and we began to walk farther out into the lake.

When my feet couldn’t touch the bottom anymore, Uncle Norm held me up and reassured me, “I’ve got you. I’ve got you.” Then finally he said, “Okay, let your feet down. You can stand here.” I was afraid because I thought we were still in deep water, but I trusted him and happily discovered that I was standing on a sandbar.

Have you ever been in so much despair that you felt as if you were sinking in deep water? The difficulties of life can be oppressive. God doesn’t promise that we will escape the turbulent seas of life, but He does promise, “I will never leave you nor forsake you” (Heb. 13:5).

We can trust our faithful God to be there in all of our struggles. “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you” (Isa. 43:2).

God, give me the faith of a little child! A faith that will look to Thee— That never will falter and never fail, But follow Thee trustingly. —Showerman

Before your burden overcomes you, trust God to put His arms underneath you.

Read: Psalm 121

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. —Isaiah 43:2

Bible in a Year:
2 Samuel 22-24

Gail, You are in my prayers. I’m praying for you and your medical team.

Father, please guide Gail’s doctors and show them the answers to her treatment as you ease her pain. Amen

[luvie]

Prayers for your health issues to be resolved as well as possible. I know it’s very frustrating for you and your hubby!

I hate going to doctors. They almost NEVER listen...REALLY listen!
