A waiting game

[tamerlane]

Sad to say I am awaiting my scan still for my neck and a further set of tests for my congenital short term memory. Everything takes time these days and sad to say,my Life and memory are proving very problematic. It would be good when I get back although my Chronic Pain Condition is more in control, the main problem is that I am that bit slower than before. Yesterday I went for blood tests and they could not draw any, I am needing more fluids because of my Health matters so my blood is very dry and they have problems taking it, so I have to increase fluids and increase fluid intake

At the moment I need to get back in the garden to do some weeding to keep Hazel content

I hope to be back when these blasted tests done, one good thing they have managed to cutback my medications

Yeah, I wish technology evolved and we had other means of doing blood test but no - so please do drink juice, soft drinks, milk or tea or coffee to increase your fluids. Pain seems to be early warning sign and doctor finds out from there what is wrong. Get better or do best you can - hugs and prayers

How are you keeping now ? It has been quite stressful when I left site I was having problems with on of my eyes and was having problems after surgery and I was having more troubles with my site. I suffered several weeks with pressure on one eye was suffered dehydration over a six week period, my memory was shot as well so I need some more tests. Seem to be improving though

Omega 3 tablets from pharmacy - is good for brain and has been shown to be good in brain damage and brain injury. Vitamins and minerals good also and Vitamin A for eye. Otherwise you have to ask doctor about what can be good for you

I am going for a scan one week tomorrow, for Neck and Spine

Tuesday I have further Blood Tests, they were supposed to take the blood last Monday, the Nurse could not get any. So hopefully it will work out Tuesday.

In two to three weeks I am taking further tests on brain function because of my Short Term Memory concerns, I am a bit worried as I do not want any problems regards my memory. Some of my medications have been reduced, they are considering if medications have been causing problems , so I have taken a quite large reduction in medications We will see what we see. In about three weeks/month time ??

How are you ?

I am in ok health and taking statin for cholesterol control but otherwise ok. Parents trying to eat healthy especially because of heart problems but at least they try. Son nonverbal eating again so good. Let me know in this post or new post how everything is with your health. Wait to hear from you, good friend

I have had a scan on the damage on my neck as that is has been causing the problems in my neck and spine that has begun to spread into my shoulders. i am awaiting the appointment to decide what needs to be done. the day after the hospital we have been on holiday and return Sunday, getting ready for my appointment in the next week or so to check the brain.

i had my bloods taken for my short term memory disorder two days before going away.

My appointment is next week in the main hospital in the north east. The main reason for the time away has been my Sister in Law that has possible terminal cancer that could go on for several years

Pax is having problems with the heat, so we are now consider coming home several days early

Hope you are well
