MelanieLR Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 Hi All, Just thought I'd let you all know, I'm feeling much better. Fever is gone & I'm able to eat mild solid foods again. I went to my PCP & she had me feeling better within a few days. She found an infection in my intestines & lungs, gave me different antibiotics & some meds for the emphysema she also found. I feel human again. I'm finally going to get to meet my Great Nephew who was born on Jan 6th. I was afraid I might give him whatever I had. I'm also going to get to see my Grandmother who is 89 yrs old, again I was afraid of infecting her. Thanks for all your prayers. They really work. The only disappointment is, ti looks like I may be stuck with my oncologist. All of the onc's on my HMO have either retired or work no where near my home. With me not driving, I can't ask family & friends to drive me to ten-buck-two for treatments & such. I'll tell you one thing though. If I'm sick for more than a few days & the onc isn't helping, I will definately hot foot it to my PCP! Again - Thanks all, Melanie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ry Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 I am so glad you posted. I was wondering how you were doing. I am also a great believer in using our PCP. Not only is he a great guy, but he'll see us the same day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Wood Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 Glad things are better. Yes, you can ask family and friends to drive you. Lucie and I do it all the time. It gives me a needed break, and it gives the family and friends a chance to do something specific for us. It also is a good time for Lucie to visit with them.
