Good morning my wonderful family & friends. Well yesterday was a full day at the doctors offices. 1st went to see my gastroenterologist who went thru a few things, 1st its been over 4 years now since my stage 3 colorectal cancer. He says if it were coming back the resurface of it would have been in the first 3 years but we are way past that so he thinks it maybe either the diverticulitis inflamed or the colon itself inflamed? Either way sounds better than the cancer coming back. He has me on 2 different antibiotics for intestinal issues for 2 weeks. He did schedule a colonoscopy for mid July if this does not clear up. 2nd the orthopedic surgeon looked at both my left ankle and my left knee which has been needing to be looked at for years now. The left ankle has a cyst inside the heal bone which maybe cause by the gout I had a couple of years back, he gave me a strong shot into the hinge socket? and said that should take the swelling down as well as a prescription for swelling & pain. Then he looked at my knee and says wow, I have no idea how you are even walking on this knee you have torn your acl in the knee (I dont even know what acl in the knee is) but he said because my knee is moving side to side instead of the regular movement that is the problem. Anyway, he is going to do a MRI of both the knee and the left ankle next Thursday to see just how bad each are and decide what to do from there. Ive had 2 surgeries on my left knee after I fell out of my attack and completely dislocated that main tendon with knee cap several years back. I guess I was supposed to go in for a final cleanup and never did??? Anyway, Ill let everyone know about the MRIs. Today my stomach is feeling a little better and that is a good thing because if you feel sick you dont feel like doing anything and I love working in my yard, but not lately, LOL!!! Also, Im trying to ween myself off Cymbalta, which Ive taken for years for pain and depression so if it seems my post are getting a little hostile or confused please let me know and Ill go back on the Cymbalta, LOL!!! I hope everyone has a wonderful Saturday!!! God Bless!! Romans 8:6 For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. Father please accept my prayers today for all fallen heroes, all our wonderful Veterans (who we ARE NOT taking care of), all the unemployed or underemployed who seek a better life, my family & friends, all heroes serving our country in the military, Billy Graham, all children suffering thru cancer, my old friend Wayne & family & Bridgette, Dennis & Jodette & family, my friend Judy, Walt Blenner with his great work he does as a lawyer & his mom, Susan Weber, my friend Vicki, my high school buddy John White & family, Mike D & his mom Lisa, Michele-Dave & boys, Scott Morrison, Scot Morrison & family, Marge & extra prayers for Bill, Ken & family, Perry & Rebecca, Gary H & family, the Hollins family, Josh G & mom Karyn, Erik D & Laura, Orin & Debbie, Melinda-Ralphie & kids, Jeremy & family especially that new little girl Lillianne Rose, Bruce & Gail, Kyle-Kristyn & Andrea & the one on the way, my friend Ralph, my brother Greg & family, Paige, Nora-Arnie & family, Erin & Steven & their new baby girl Caroline & upcoming family member, Alicia & Brian & dogs & cats, Steve Roesch & family, Bob & Sis & their dogs & opossum, my Mom & Howard (especially Mom with the onset of dementia), Ron & Sherrill & Jason, Joe & Belinda, Dave & Robin & Chris, RJ & family, Harborside Church, The Congress-Senate-President in hopes they start thinking about America instead of themselves, America & Our Constitution in hopes we can return both to the greatness they were at one time & bring God back into our country!!!
