Update on Sicknesses

It has been a while since my last post. I had a short stint in the hospital, still trying to find out what is wrong with me. But, the good news, my heart is good, my lungs are good, and my gallbladder is good. I finally got our new insurance coverage last Saturday, and went to the hospital on Sunday. While I was there I had a CT scan on my lungs and Aorta, where they inject iodine into your Iv so that they can see your insides better. Well, I have very tiny veins, and the Iodine saturated into my arm. Which means that it blew my vein and dumped all of that fluid into my arm. The body's defense is to swell to protect the area, so my arm more than doubled in size. Which can cut off your circulation and do cell and nerve damage. The iodine can also damage your kidneys. I have had no damage, but I wanted to mention this , so that you can be better informed with this test. The machine pushes the fluid into your arm, so , if the person handling the machine is in a hurry, unskilled, etc. This can happen. This bought me an additional day in the hospital. I have another Dr. appt on Monday, and I am hoping to get to the bottom of the pain in my chest that I have had for 12 days. I am really starting to think that this is an ulcer. I just AGAIN, want to thank everyone for well wishes and prayers. I AM the Blessed girl !! That is for sure !! All my girls in PRH sent me cards and tags and goodies !! I love you Guys !! And I was Blessed with Amy's ( bunny rose cottage ) very FIRST art tag !! It is the sweet pansy one on the left. Look out paper art world, we have a new Star !! Thanks again, all of you sweet ladies !!



There is another sickness that I want to mention. On the Blogger buzz page it mentions a virus that has been injected into certain blogs. Well, mine was hit yesterday. It is a nasty thing that my husband spent a lot of hours fixing. I deleted the utube that was on here. Utube is a sneaky way for someone to give you a virus. So Please, do a current virus scan on your computer ASAP, so that we don't keep passing this around the blogging community. I am feeling a bit better and am hoping to get back painting and glueing soon. I miss you all !!
