Diane, I really hope that the doctors figure out what is wrong and your health improves soon.

Sending best wishes and hopes they find out something soon. If you end up spending some time on the Clinic campus let me know. I'm in the area and could provide some company and whatever support I can. (provided I'm mobile myself - in a cast for now).
I know that every failed test hopefully narrows the search down but I wish Doctors could actually find solutions instead of ruling things out. Keep your spirits up - they may be slow but they will get it eventually.
Pete

I would love to have a visit if you are up to it! My appt isn't until June 16th...unless my friends pick me up and drop me off there and leave me til they do something ( that's their threat anyhow! Haha). I do get frustrated with all the tests and ' no answers' but I oo figure the a Drs will eventually figure it out! For now I'm just trying to not 'think' about the bad days and just enjoy the few good days I have! My whole family ( husband, 2 daughters, 2 son-in-laws, 3 grandkids and my son) is taking me camping for Memorial Day weekend! I am so excited!! I'm praying I will feel well enough to eat some and enjoy it all! I warned them I will still need my 1 or 2 naps a day so that I don't get too exhausted and start the crazy fevers back up! They tend to get worse when I get too active! Anyways I'm looking forward to some away time! So what's up with you?? Where's your cast at? Hope you don't have to wear it for too long! Wishing good health returns to you soon Pete!

Sounds like You will have a fun for Memorial day. I've been back in a cast for the past month and I am looking at probably a week or two more. I just can't seem to keep the ulcer healed although the last 2 times had more to do with the orthotics than any problem on my part. I hope to be mobile by June - always hopeful. Otherwise things have been going well. Lots of support from my family and the DS keeps chugging along. I'm working my way to 200 pounds from my surgery weight. I decided to weigh with the cast so I get a little bump when they finally take it off. Mostly, I just couldn't stand not knowing..... Stupid scale..... Memorial Day with my brother and his family - should be a great day here too.

Memorial Day with my brother and his family - should be a great day here too. Sure hope you get better and get that cast off! What kind of ulcer is it?? Hopefully it will be all better by June. Wow almost 200 lbs is unbelievable! Your DS is truly working well for you. I'm glad you have lots of family support. That is soooo important! I can't imagine not having that kind of support. We are blessed in that way! Trust me I know too well about the STUPID SCALE! I say I will only weigh myself once a week but I can never stick too that. Haha Enjoy your Memorial Day weekend Pete! Have fun and relax.....
