Things have not been working out here for me.

Not here as in AAA,  but here as in Arizona.

 

My valley fever seems to have returned.    

I had 8 surgeries,  3 rounds of chemo and 110 straight days at a hospital in 2001.

I lost over 70 pounds stopping at 135 pounds.   And now I have advanced osteo porosis (sp?),  the Dr said my bones have the consistancy of a dried sponge.     That was back in 2002,  I do not know if they have gotten any better.

 

Now I am overweight at 250 pounds with no way to exercise because of the fragility of my bones and joints.

My blood pressure is sky high because I ,  (well that is kinda personal.)

My lungs are at a ruduced capacity as well.     The valley fever attacked them first.     All my internal organs were affected.

 

Now I have a golfball sized growth on my right elbow,  it hurts all the time now.     It even hurts to use my camera. 

 

I had to give up my job at the newspaper because I lost my government sponsored health care,  they said I was making too much money.     $140.00 a week is too much????      That was the only way I was paying all my bills that as a working american we take on.     Like vehicle payments,  insurance for said vehicle,  phone and internet service,  power and water.

I don't even have natural gas anymore,  too expensive,  so no cooking or heating or even hot water.    The same way with TV.  

 

Two more months of no income will qualify me for the health care again.     Damn.     I hate not having money!

 

At least they can't take my sense of humor.         

But the elections are sure trying!

 

I will post the results of the Dr.s and keep everyone informed.

If they put me back into a long term hospital again,  I will try to swap computers with Squeeky. 

So I can bring the laptop with me.   And at least try to stay in touch that way.
