Had ultra sound of my legs this morning. The test was silent, no whooshes or other noises that indicate healthy blood flow. I'm really scared. Doctor will give me the bad news Sept. 22. Wedding anniversary. I wish I had someone to go with me, if I don't understand I'll ask if son or dil can call.

Library Book Club in one hour. I'm really nervous, about anything and everything. I'm sick of these nerves & my shaking ruining what's left of my life.

Living alone has become too much for me. I'm driving myself crazy. I really need help. I'm so scared & lonely I think I'm insane.
Don't know how to help myself. This morning I pretended my mother was with me in order to get ultra sound. Sounds nuts, she hasn't been with me in decades.

Pepper.. please try and calm down ... take some deep breaths....🤗 what noise do you mean indicating healthy blood flow ?

I've had many Ultrasound scans.. at least 10 probably more .. and in fact the latest just last week ..and I have never heard any whooshing blood sound..

Do you think Dracula came in the night and sucked all your blood away ?🥴🫣

Sorry just trying to make you smile, you're clearly very upset...

You're right, you do need help. You need help addressing these unfounded fears .. I thought you were seeing someone ?

Good morning.

@Babs2u Northlake is too far...I'm on the other side of the city. But $4.99? They've been selling for $2.49 in other stores. Hmm. $4.99 is still a good price, though. DD will be home tomorrow because she's picking up a six-drawer dresser with mirror from the Buy Nothing group. After that, we'll probably go to Aldi just to check on mums and for me to get another pair of the Ladies Loungewear (with pockets!).

DGD's surgery went well. Doc told DD that the recovery is going to be long and difficult, complicated by her fibromyalgia and non-sero RA. It's gonna be a long 3-6 months here :(.

I thought $4.99 was high but considering gas and time and short spurts of energy I went for it.
I hope your DGD's recovery goes better than expected. Your support will help to lighten the load.

@Pepper, if I were anywhere near NYC, I'd go with you to your appointments. đź«‚

Oh boy. Can I relate. I go to all my appointments alone and there is really nobody to share my insecurities with. In Feb I had a procedure to clear an 80% clogged artery. Now they say it is 80% clogged again. How is that possible? I will find out if I live through it. They had to resussitate me during a procedure in June.

Same here.. and so much worse this past 3 months since the accident, I've had so many procedures ... but I just go and think of it as a chore really, as if I'm going shopping...otherwise your mind would be your worst enemy...
 
Hi all - I've had a busy week. Nothing out of the ordinary, but not a lot of SF time. I just read all the messages on this thread to catch myself up.

I hope those who haven't been feeling well are on the road to recovery. @Pepper, if your test results are urgent or disastrous, your doctor wouldn't discussing them with you for 10 days. On the contrary, you likely would have been told to get yourself to the ER.

The poor kid. Medical restrictions are hard even for the older of us. Even harder when you’re young and want to be living free and easy.

Excellent logic, even if it’s hard to accept when you’re feeling stressed.
 
Today was laundry day and I actually put the laundry from a few days ago as well as all of todays (which is not the norm). After doing the laundry, I refilled the containers I use, so I'm good to go for next time. I also reorganized my sock drawer and emptied one of the sock boxes so that I can put my new pre-tied scarves in it.
