My thoughts and Prayers are with you and your family my friend. I hope everything goes well. Make sure to keep us updated.
Thanks brotha. I write what's going on here cause it frees my mind, and you guys make me feel better. So updates are always bound 2 happen!
Looking at the sunny side at least it was a "regular" incident. I know post "the wreck" I was terrified of falling for the first time. It happened about 4 years later and I was afraid to move for at least 20 minutes, just knew the hip was gone. I can only imagine what was going through her head given her history. Glad it appears to be minor.


Yeah somthing that is regular, is normaly major for those who aren't. Having problems. So to have only this IS good. I just hope the pacemaker is fine.
Yeah we get to know our bodies and what we can take. So we learn to trust our instincts

I have to laugh as I post this from the room there's a sign on the wall that reads:
" So that we can provide you with the best medical care we ask that you please eliminate usage of cell phones in the examining room"
So is posting here while in this room ignorance or sheer dedication to this forum? :laughing:

Well she broke her foot. They put her in a boot, and want to see if in two weeks its still alligned, if so, they will not hard cast her. I think 2 my self, if she was having a hard time navigating our house before (4 levels), she's about to find out how it will be with a boot n crutches......... :evil:

Two quick updates:
1- went to a podiatrist and they stated she broke more in her foot then originally stated
2- Leaving right now to go to SF, CA to get her pacemaker adjusted for another regular visit.

Thanks brother...
Everyone is always appreciated! She is on hour 3 of 4 hour digestion test, and her stomach is performing very poorly right now. No good but we have a consultation with Dr after this to readjust the pacemaker.... Hope it helps her

Diagnosis was poor. Her final percentage remaining after 4 hours was 67%, a normal stomach is less then 10% remaining after 4 hours. Her stomach is back into major gastropariesis, even sever. So back we come in November. Also, she is doing to do lower GI studies to get her moving food on the lower end. As she said tonight, she can't get a break from any medical issue.......

Last time we did the gastric emptying test, she was at 37% after 4 hours... and that was a huge improvement. This time....... No Bueno.........
