43 days post stem cells.
When I got home from LA I felt worse than when I left. Tired was an understatement!! I still could not walk across a room without gasping for breath. I waited patiently on my adrenal medicine to come in by just lying around and napping. The diet plan was really a challenge for us too. Basically all I can have are cooked vegetables and a little fruit and three ounces of fish or chicken per week.
Then on Thanksgiving night, we had to go to Ruleville to get Henry Earl’s hand sewn up because he decided to carve it instead of the turkey. He got four stitches. When we got home I told H E my right foot felt funny. I woke up in the middle of the night with both feet swollen and red and very painful. Everyone’s guess was gout, but with that ruled out, it’s going on three weeks that I haven’t been able to walk at all. Lyme has attacked my feet, ankles, and knees. I’ve been able to take a few steps on my walker these last two days but it is excruciating. I heard from my LA Dr this morning and he wants me to be x-rayed tomorrow. We’re hoping it’s temporary but it can become permanent and I have to admit I’m scared. I’m not supposed to take antibiotics because it can mess with my new stem cells. I’m really between a rock and a hard place. I can only hope this is temporary and that sooner, not later, the stem cells will start working. But six months to a year is yet another long time out of my life. It’s really depressing.
