time for an update????
Probably, but not a lot going on here. I had my renal ultrasound and more bloodwork (3x in 2 wk) Have not heard anything back yet. They had this round of bloodwork sent out to another lab instead of having it done in house as before. I still have the cough, not as violent and this morning was the last dose of the second round of antibiotic. I am tired, so, so tired......tired when I go to bed, tired when I wake up, that is if I am fortunate enough to sleep. I had Fri. off as baby girl went to spend the day with Grampy and Grammy. So three days together were good. I have been resting most of the weekend. I did make a trip to Aldi's and wow, I have never seen the store so mobbed. I hate grocery shopping to begin with but when you can't even get down the isles, well let's just say there were a few things I missed.
Matt called yesterday as I was coming in from getting the groceries so say they were home from Disney. He had a wonderful time. Took some pictures with Minnie and Mickey Mouse to give to Neko (her favorites). He will be here tomorrow as it is a day off school. Unfortunately, Neko will not be here as the PO also has the day off so it is just Matt and I. Will left at 6 on Saturday to go to help Josh with the house. He should be home this afternoon late.
I miss him when he is not here! Matt told me that had called Papa on his cell and asked him to come over when he got home and Papa said he would. Uncle Roy usually goes to lunch on Sundays with his son. Today he told me he called and canceled. He was very sick in the night. I noticed he got up a lot in the night. He said he is having abdominal pain and also some vomiting. The worse part is that he is having trouble urinating. That part is scaring him. I ask for your prayers.
I will let you all know what is happening with my health as soon as someone lets me know. Just wish they would come up with something that I could take to replace the Celebrex they took away. I think the worse thing with taking it away was that I just paid for 3 mo. supply and only took 2 pills when they stopped it.
Trust you are all having a great weekend. Miss being out in this great cool weather. I do love fall!

Hope you feel better, and can get out and enjoy that weather, soon!
I have a lot of catching up to do. My vacation was last week and I have been doing and going and here it is Sunday night and I still have laundry to fold. Whew. Back to work tomorrow. More and more I'm telling myself that as soon as my car is paid off I am going part time.
I feel like my life is just trickling right past me. I give it about a year and then I'm done with this full time job!
I'll have my time with the grands then and live it up!
Why do men avoid the doctor? A guy gets up in years and they have to have exams because the prostate can give symptoms that they don't realize come from that. Make him go to the doctor if you can.
Praying for him.
Maybe there's an herbal counterpart to the Celebrex? I'll pray for you too :) God bless.
@primrozie - Believe me, he goes to the dr. In fact, he is on some medication for his prostrate. Thanks for the prayers
@sam - you and me both.
I hate going to the grocery store when it's mobbed! Hope you find out the results from all the blood work and feel better soon!
I hope both you and Uncle Roy feel better soon. I will be praying for you all. Hope you enjoy your day with Matt. So sweet of him to bring pics for baby girl.
And your post is another reason for me to quit my own bellyachin'! I feel so bad for you with all the health issues, with your hubby gone on weekends and Uncle Roy sick... You need a break! (I've been praying!)
Prayers that your week will be healthy for all of you! I think I'd like to go to Disney too! God bless and keep you and your loved ones.
For your Uncle, could be a UTI. Drink cranberry juice, LOTS of it, till you can get him to the doctor/clinic/whatever.
Best of luck with everything!I hope that not hearing anything yet means good news. I agree with the cranberry juice for Uncle Roy. Don't just through away the celebrex hold on to it for a while. The anemia is making you so tired. Praying for healing.
@Richgem - Ok, you are not the first one to say "with all my health issues" . I actually never thought of myself as having a lot of health issues. I do have arthritis, very bad. Pain was bearable on the Celebrex. The tests, bloodwork, etc all stem from the fact that dr is concerned that the mediction has caused problems with my kidneys and bladder! (I had no idea I had a problem with either my kidneys or bladder) I have the sinus infection 2x a yr. and it usually takes 2 rounds of antibiocs to cure it. I could definitely use a break but that isn't gonna happen. I have baby girl full days again instead of the 1/2 days I have been having her.
I think the health issues and waiting on the results of the tests, Will being gone on weekends, Uncle Roy going down hill so rapidly lately are all stressers that cause the fatigue......probably, the anemia doesn't help!
@Want2FitIn2Fat2Fit - @GrannyFatandTattle - haha, we buy cranberry juice by the gallon here. It is the only juice we drink and we drink a lot. I don't think it is uti, I really think it is his prostrate.
My mom was on Celebrex, too, for pain. When bloodwork showed kidney damage, she was able to get herself off of it. Now, unfortunately, she's on yet another pain med. I feel bad that her pain requires continuous pain medication. and I do wonder what other damage might be ocurring as a result. It's a no-win situation, I think. Doesn't baby girl's parents have another child care alternate so that you can take a few days off?
@Richgem - Yes, her grandparents, however, her grandmother has a lot of health issues and is only out of bed a few days a week. To make matters worse, her grandfather's mother, who is Uncle Roy's age, is dying and he is making a 150 mile trip at least 2x a week to see her. I would be very happy if I could find an alternative to Celebrex. It is not a pain med per se. I hate the thought of going to just a "pain killer". But as you can see there is a no win situation with the meds and with the baby. I can hang on a while longer, maybe He has some better plans for me on both counts.........
Just thinking of you and praying for your health.
