Topic: RE: In ER last night
If you are running a fever now, I wouldn't hesitate and I would get into an ER as soon as possible.... And I would try some place else... the place you are going doesn't sound like it is the right place for you... You need someone that is going to be there for you through this whole journey, not just for the moment.... We will say a family prayer for you tonight... I sure do hope you get the care you so desperately need....

CeCe,
I am so sorry that my post hit you are hard as it did... I didn't mean for it to negatively affect anyone... I am so happy for you though that you want to go climb.... I could never do that because of my knees... but I secretly really really want to do that, and I want to jump out of a plane too... Who knows... maybe someday, but right now my knees could never handle it....
DON'T ever limit yourself CeCe... you are way to special to ever do that... you deserve the world and you can have it if you just GO FOR IT!!!! I can't wait to read what you have accomplished next.... You definitely keep me motivated and keep me coming back to the boards to see what is going on with you.... Can't wait to hear about your climbing adventure....

Shawn, you may be right. See what I found out from a fellow patient of my doc's area:
"All you get at OHSU is inexperienced students and burned out docs who are leaving in droves due to a recent court case and policy changes.
Theren isn't a hospital in metro Portland that won't understand your story. Trust me."
So, now that I'm running a fever, if it gets any higher, I may just go to another hospital ER tonight.

Thanks CeCe. I'm not puking anymore, but now I'm getting a fever. Up to 100 now. If it gets worse tonight, I'll go to ER.

OMG!!!! You have been through so much... you don't need this now, just when things are starting to get better.... It sounds like you are doing all you can do to get their attention, but they just aren't listening.... I don't know what to tell you sweetie.... I will definitely keep you in my prayers that you get through yet another obstacle in your path... I can't even begin to imagine going through all that you have endured.... Keep us posted on when they get back with you and what they say and do.... You may need to find yet another doctor if they don't provide some action soon...

Topic: RE: Weekly Weigh In week of 2/25
Hey CeCe!!!! Thanks so much for all of your concern and caring.... I actually have not been avoiding the board the past couple of days... I have had appointments, been filling out paperwork for foodstamps and all of that good stuff... Just been really occupied... I would not even consider stopping my meds, so don't you worry about that... I know that those are vital to my well-being... I have been in a good state of mind lately actually too.. Better than I have been in a long while.... I just know that I have not been making the best choices for my lately when it comes to what I eat and what I snack on... So I need to start changing those choices and doing less grazing as well....
OH and I did find out today that part of my weight gain was my monthly visitor that I didn't realize was coming.... so that was 3 -5 pounds right there just from that.. and that weight is already gone... so next week should be better for me...
I just wanted you to know how much it means to me to have such a great bunch of women here that support me and will listen to me.... You are the greatest....
HUGS,

Thanks Trudy!!! I am so thankful to have you all around me to help me through those times when I don't make the right choices.... I wish I could go out and walk, but it is Feb in Michigan and it is 12 degrees outside today... LOL.... I am not generally a reader either, but if I find a really good book I can get myself to read it.... I did better today for breakfast and that is how I have to start... one meal at a time....
I am not beating myself up... matter of fact I have been doing so much better these past couple of weeks that it is unbelievable... even though hubby lost his job and money is tight, my mood is better than it has been in months...
Thanks again for being there for me... I appreciate all that you say to keep my spirits up...
HUGS,
