updated schedule

Brian:

PET scan 7/24

Univ. of Phila....Dr. Nasta  8/28

unless something changes because of the PET scan results.


it's very hot here this week....I guess it is very hot pretty much everywhere this week.

My shoulder is still a problem and now is infected as well..so the steroid injections did cause cellulitis....but I have started the PT exercises, they hurt but seem to be helping a little....still ice, ibuprofen pretty much 24/7, but I have been able to reduce to usage of the dilaudid to almost none, so the pain is getting better...and I am just stubborn and won't take the rx. pain pills unless I am crawling out of my skin in pain anyhow. Certain things still cause immense pain, sitting up straight at the desk and bending over..must just position the shoulder to press on the inflamed tendons.

but I had the xrays and I had the mri so that is it...I am done with the DR. thing...lol...seriously unfortunately I don't seem to just be able to ignore this one.

short update

Brian had his 27th birthday.....how awesome we have been blessed to have him with us that long :)
we had his favorite cake...chocolate cake filled with vanilla custard and fresh strawberries covered in whipped cream. ....ever so yummy.

Spoke with Dr. Nasta's assistant yesterday, she doesn't want to bother with the CAT scan this month, just go right to the PET scan....WOW and holy shit does that make me concerned.

waiting for that other shoe to drop.

Scott is not dealing with the stress well again, got in trouble at work..again..got suspended for a day and they took his 4 hours a week overtime away for a minimum of 3 months...because when you have someone who is already stressed to the max and in financial ruin it helps so much to take another $500.00 a month out of their pocket....idiot fuckers.

yes bitch bitch bitch....and show me where I don't have the right, and I'll tell you to come live my life for a month and have to listen to all the people who say they want to help and never do.
