J.C. Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 I'm grateful I woke up in a good mood. Hard day to face, the car is on the blink: needs three catalyst converters changed=$$$$$ Can't even face buying a new car as I may not get my new driving permit for my 80 birthday, road test I'm OK, physical tests depends on my family doctor that hates me, eye test I'm fine, hearing test.......00000 and I don't live in Florida........... Lynn is in the hospital for a lumbar poncture, MRI, scan and blood tests (three days) for Chron disease, so she can't be my advocate for the day. So alone and DEAF I have to find on the second floor of a big hospital a doctor with a name impossible to spell or pronounce for some tests on my hands before they decide about the operationS needed to reduce the pain in my thumbs. But Grateful for my good mood as I know I'll go through this day with flying shaky colors. Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laban Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Jackie, I'm grateful I get to read your reasons to be grateful every day. You always look at life's struggles as opportunities and that is a blessing. You are a blessing to all of us and for that I am grateful.

ginnyde Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 I am most grateful for you Jackie. You are a ray of light, a symbol of goodness and determination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.C. Posted September 4, 2007 Author Share Posted September 4, 2007 Thank you all, Just plain stubborn.......and won't give up. Found the place finally and saw Dr. Maglhaes and all went well, except very tired as I was sitting down a lot, all new x-rays to see the progression of the sickness and my hands will be molded for some braces that will help. Cortisone injections every two or three months as soon as the pain is unbearable (in the winter) oxycontin and morphine for the pain, unfortunately I'm allergic to all sulfa drugs that could help with the inflammation. Next will be the knee and the shoulder.... A good visit and I'll be able to use my hands so I'm still in a good mood. Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connie B Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 I know your not going to believe this, but I was just going to say the same thing Katie said before I read it. Dito to what everyone here said. I can't imagine LCSC without our Jackie! I'm GLAD YOU GOT UP THIS MORNING! I'm glad I got up this morning too. That alone is something to be grateful for.
