HI from Kathy

Hi, I don't get to post as often as I would like but know you and the board are always in my prayers. Still looking for a place to live, and have to go to the library to check my mail. I have 4 minutes left on here. I am at 130 lbs, my goal. I see the plastic surgeon on Monday at the Nashville VA. I can't wait for that appointment. I do need your prayers, I am suffering 10-20 dizzy spells and passing out on a daily basis. When I go to the ER they just give me saline saying I am low on fluids. That I know I'm not, considering how much I drink and go to the bathroom. But as soon as I stand up, my blood pressure will drop to 70/33. I don't feel dizzy until after I have walked some and out I go. I picked up my 2 yr old grandson last night and nearly passed out. There's not enough oxygen getting to the brain. I have to go, 30 sec. left, love y'all, Kathy

Okay lady, will you be at the next lunch on the 10th? Have you upped your protein intake?

yes and yes. But with my red cells and platlets so low, all the ER does is say I am dyhyrated and gives me saline. I see a new PCP in the Smyrna area today at 2pm, hopefully he will get the tests going or refer me to a specialist to find out what is going on. See you soon, Kathy

Hi Kathy, Glad to hear you are at your goal, but I'm sorry to hear you are still having problems . I was recently in the hospital again. I'm very depressed with the way things are going for me, but I guess that is just the life of Debbie. So many people have gotten to say "I told you so" it is unreal, but I have to admit now I think they are right. Can't seem to stop losing no matter what I try to eat, I'm now at 125 at 5'7" look pretty scarry Well at least I can still smile. Hope you find you a place soon and I do hope and pray you get better soon. Drop me a note when you get back on the computer you have my email address. ~Hugs~ Debbie

Good to see you girl. Please feel better soon! Hope the new digs are gonna be awesome.
