I thought I was settled, until today's appointment where I was told a mess of nothing. The fibrosis is at the bottom, the infiltrates are at the top. One wasn't mistaken for another, I have both, so my bubble burst and I went from fear to relief back to fear. Still no answers, still no referral from 9 am. And no Rx for a few Ativan. My cousin's wife recommended Trazodone which is an antidepressant that helps with anxiety and sleep, non habit forming and without side effects. Whatever. If I hear nothing by noon tomorrow, I am calling Cleveland Clinic, this is ridiculous.
Carole is now in the hospital, straight from the doctor office. She will be there for a while and they are not sure what's going on with her lymphatic system and CHF after weeks of her feet becoming huge. She does not listen to me, always waits until the situation is severe, and will end up in Cleveland I'm sure. My untrained but usually correct mind says cellulitis. Huge water blister and others on toes, painful touch, red, swollen.
Petey has a leg injury that appears to becoming infected, Bud is back in his shell, we have no one to care for these brats and especially when Bud needs almost constant coaxing. Leaving to stay in Cleveland may be necessary but we'll see what happens.
We have no mail service since the street is blocked but there is a package on my step that I will open later. I am just spent right now.
I did choose two samplers to start but honestly, I doubt that will happen until some answers will clarify both our ailments. It's a damn shame I dislike wine and other such beverages. Someone asked how I tolerate those citrus candies. They are not chewed, rolled, or in contact with my burning tongue. Kept between cheek and gum, I can swallow the dissolving juice without involving my hot zone. And they aren't even close to the acid in fresh citrus.
I have chosen Ann Stone (old R&R) many times but never pulled linen or threads. Solid color section at the bottom, a small amount of over one. The other is Rachel Hyde with that fabulous vine border and line of trees. It looked large to me but it really isn't. More over one than Ann but doable I guess.
I just heard from Carole and she said they may be moving her to Cleveland. The dentist today told me to come tomorrow afternoon, this cavity is so close to the nerve and it must be covered now. But I may not be here. I wonder if visitors are allowed because I would be able to stay in her room and then check out doctors there. I do not think anyone here will have any answers.
But I have a package and can't remember an order so I best check it.
Enjoy your evening folks.

You have just toooo much to handles. I would push someone for a refillable presc. for Ativan. You need it now.....
Sorry about everything that is going on in your life.

Marly....I mean this with all my heart....I live in Painesville ,45 min east of cleveland. If you ever need a place to stay or a stop over on your way home I would consider it a blessing if you would consider me. I am close to the freeway even!!! I have a warm comfy home and an extra bedroom. Just me and hubby so its peaceful too!!! If nothing else you should a least put my phone# in your phone in case you should be passing by and need something. carolsferra@yahoo.com Much, much love and here to help. Blessings.
When it rains it pours. Mercy and Grace for you!!!!
In a pinch Dramamine calms and brings sleep.
🙏🏻
Well crud. If in your place, I'd take care of the tooth first - one less thing to think about or cause you more pain.
It stinks that you are back to little or no information on so much. ((((( hugs )))))
It's just one thing after another, Marly. DARN!!!! I can totally understand you not being in a place to start something new.
That does sound like cellulitis for Carole--my MIL has had it a few times and has to be hospitalized each time. She doesn't put her legs up like she's supposed to and they are so swollen and tight looking. Hope Carole gets the care she needs in Cleveland. And I hope and pray you get some answers soon. Good luck at the dentist--one of my least favorite destinations.
Sending hugs and all my positive thoughts up your way ♥
So much on your plate.☹️ When my life is like this, I just try to focus on one thing at a time, and tackle them in order of immediacy. Please take care and know we all all here for you, sending our positive thoughts and love your way. ♥️
Marly: I am so sorry, you would think that in the year 2021 the doctors would be more responsive to your needs, maybe a second opinion is best.
So sorry to hear about Carole, I hope all goes well for you both.
I do like the two designs you have chosen, I do like some of the older Samplers, I am planning on doing some stitching of older designs soon, on my list.
Good luck at the dentist.
Marly dear ~ I am praying that the Lord sustain you and Carole, giving you pause and peace through all of this ....just wretched. Hopefully, you can get the dentist
over with first. If the trazodone can bring you some calm in this storm, why not?
May Cleveland Clinic hold hope and answers and return you home safely, reinforced
and relieved. Try to "be still" and continue to follow your keen instincts... the
answers are there. Love your choices of samplers...pick the one that most satisfies you visual/color sense; your choices are usually spot on. Bless you.
I am so sorry to hear your news. Do you what you must to be able to get both of you the treatment and care you need for recovery. My very best to you two. Isn't there a neighbor or friend who could care for the cats if you must be absent?
Hugs and prayers to you and Carole.
When it pours in your world, it really does pour. Wow. So very sorry for these latest turns. I won't do the 101 question thing....or make suggestions that are out of my realm to make...just know you are in my thoughts, prayers, and heart. Wish I were closer.... ~Robin~
I am so sorry you are going through all this pain and stress. I would definitely call the Cleveland Clinic. They will diagnosis you correctly and get right treatment, no knowing, enough information is the worse. Keep your chin up. Prayers!
Praying for you!!
I am so very sorry that you and Carole are experiencing health issues. I can understand your frustration. Keep working to advocate for yourself. It is frustrating when you feel ignored by health organizations. Keeping you in my thoughts.
Hugs and continued prayers for you and Carole.
So very sorry to hear your news. Thinking of you
Have been thinking of you and hope to hear you've had some help to ease your mind and alleviate the pain you're bothered with. Am also hoping for better news about your sister.
Marly, just want to let you now that both you and Carole have been on my mind and in my prayers. Cherie in WI
I hope you and Carole are doing better and getting answers regarding your health
. Prayers daily!!
