Thank you Nicole. I've missed all of you. In my thoughts and prayers. Lots of house stuff has been dealt with here. Very tiring. I wish you all well with your health and home and pets. I hope to stop by more often to see how you all are. Please take good care of yourselves. I'm sure your love ones have their eye on you always.

I know what you mean by having a hard time going to the same doctor because I too went through this and it was hard facing the doctor and staff..Yesterday would have been the anniversary of marriage of 65 years but I lost him after 63 years..a bitter-sweet day ..Because of my appt. for mapping of veins in preparation of todays surgery , I didn't have time to dwell on it..I look for today to be over in hopes of restoring normalness to my left leg..and down the line the other..I'm more worried about putting the darn compression stocking on even tho it has a zipper it's still tug and pull. Especialliy in the humid day that is expected..Oh well I have to think of the outcome from it..Thank You for your kind thoughts..

Wishing you well on your surgery. I guess going on 81 has brought on something similar for me. I thought I had a blood clot in my leg and have been unable to walk. Went to the cardiologist (took me 3 months to get an appointment) yesterday and he said it is not a blood clot. Thank God My next step is the rheumatologist that I see in November! I guess it is difficult for the heart to pump the blood through my body or I need different medication from the rheumatologist to eliminate all this pain. I have no idea what is causing the pain.
I have been using the compression stockings and the electronic boots trying to eliminate the pain. Getting old is h***. I hope all goes well for you as I know how difficult it is to walk when in such pain.

Marcy Iโm glad your doctor continues to support you. I seem to want to be around people that knew my husband in all his paths of life. They seem to understand my loss better than people that never knew him. Your shared doctor knows your pain.
Iโm over powered with grief. First my husband died in December of 2023, next his mother that I was the care giver to passed in June of this year and several days ago I lost a day old great grand daughter. She was born with a tumor and was being prepared for surgery and died before. Next Saturday is mother-in-law funeral.
I continue to look for a silver lining in my life. Sadie my husbandโs dog continues to be best friend. She allows me to smother her in hugs and kisses because I donโt have Mark anymore. She was sleeping with me but she rolled out of bed and hit the floor. Poor girl! She now only jumps up to say good night.
Ohhhhhh something must be bright and beautiful out there!

Jonibee blessings on your surgery todayโค๏ธ
Sadie does speak with her eyes. She keeps her eyes on me for sure. I think her daddy told her to when he was alone with her when he was passing. I can only imagine his conversation. She was all he had.

My jusband and I shared the same primary care doctor. On the numerous occasions when he was unable to go to medical appointments alone, I went with him. I spent a lot of time in the doctor's office and not under pleasant circumstances. Making an appointment for my own annual exam was one of the most difficult things I did after the passing of my husband. The thought of going to that office and talking with the doctor (as much as I like him) set off a wave of grief and sadness. I knew that making my appointment and going, was necessary as part of my self care. I wanted to keep my doctor so it had to be done. I went to the appointment and yes I cried when I started speaking with the doctor. He totally understood my response and that he was a trigger for me. I'm very grateful for the care he gave to my husband and for the understanding and ongoing care he provides to me.
Take care of yourself even if it means making some difficult decisions. Think it through and you will come up with a plan that is right for you.

Hi Marcy, I too have the same physician as my husband and went to some of my husband's appointments. The doctor did not accept my insights into my husband's condition. After my husband passed away, I tried to change doctors, but it was in the same clinic, and they wouldn't do it. My first appointment when the doctor returned from vacation, I told him that I had tried to change to another doctor in the clinic and that I was mad at him. He was shocked; I could tell by the look on his face. I explained why, he listened and explained. I have worked through my anger with the doctor and still go to him. I have never talked to a physician like that before, but I had to and he needed to know. I understand the frustration when a doctor either doesn't believe you or doesn't understand.
