I know you will because you are you and you make up your mind to it, but it pains me that you could be doing so much better for lack of a professional in your life.

That is blatantly ant patient care. To let you go home under 3 days is ridiculous when you have the problems you described to me. You should have seen a PT and an OT who would have written their evaluations and recommendations so you could stay the qualifying time so as to get time in a rehab center...

Erica - thanks. ReMag internally was horrible for me. Thanks for the recco. I will try the lotion. I do the epsom salts every day. No Tex, I don't want this route again. Back to lamb, potatoes, bananas and coconut for a while. They always try to do that! Let you out before the 3 day cut off! I hate ...

Tex, under Medicare you are entitled to help. How long were you in hospital? The first 20 days are always free WITH help after a 3 day qualifying hospital stay , the next 80 are 80% covered and 20% your responsibility in a rehab facility, unless you have supplemental which covers the 20%. After that...

I am settled in my place. I like it a lot, though there are stairs to get in and out, which makes it a bit difficult. There has been a terrible heat wave lately, which has made Licorice and I both pretty sick. I am going to Israel again in December, but my daughter is gifting me a voucher for an upg...

Are you getting treatment? Asking as an geriatric OT with expertise in strokes. I don't know if you ever said what sort of stroke it was, though it clearly hasn't hit the right frontal lobe because you are as sharp as ever. Right side stroke? Hands seem to be functioning judging by your typing, unle...

Hi Tex, I am so glad to see you here, fully recovered I hope? I have been dealing with multiple health problems. Taking PPIs for so long has caused serious back problems, needing something, not quite sure what. Hopefully an epidural soon so I get some relief. My D levels are borderline low, but I am...

Hi All!

Hi everybody, I haven't been around for a while, mostly because I really have nothing new to say. I am struggling with many health issues, other than my MC, which has never come under control, not really. I don't have the terrible D of the earlier years, but I am far from in remission. As long as I ...

Tex,
I just heard about this. "So sorry this happened to you, but glad you are improving! I don't know if I ever told you, I am an OT with expertise in stroke. Please feel free to contact me with any questions, any time.

I have been packing, getting ready to get out of my apartment (no choice) but not moving anywhere yet so under a LOT of stress. Got to throw out so much stuff. I have not been good with supplements lately. Overwhelmed. 2 nights ago I was woken with awful cramping in my left thigh, weird sensations, ...

The only year I had flu since there have been vaccines was the year I didn't have one. I got it on a plane. And I was sick for MONTHS and MONTHS. When it went to my lungs I was given a Z-pack. I vomited and had diarrhea for 5 days solid. I had to take the meds because I was super sick. I had my flu ...

Even though I always insist on a culture and only take an abx that the bacteria is supposed to be resistant to, it NEVER completely goes away. My urogynie is convinced that I have the bacteria in the cells of my bladder, probably ecoli. I am going to send her this article, and maybe we can beat this...

Not sure about my sodium. I would have to do blood tests. I have been awfully tired lately, but that could be any number of things, not just sodium. The doc told me to do 1/4 of a teasp, never mentioned putting it on my skin. I can go backwards. If I put it into my water I can't drink the water beca...

I am trying to take the ReMag. I am taking 1.4 of a teaspoon so far. It tasted dreadful. makes me feel nauseous, I am getting pains in my gut, and a LOT of GERD. Anyone have any idea why this should be so?
