82 Days Post Stem Cells Jan 16, 2018

Just when I thought nothing else weird could happen to me, it did. I have been trapped in my bed for eight weeks. I can’t walk because of pain in my left ankle. Whatever this is attacked both my feet, ankles and one knee. Dr Kim told me to start doing castor oil wraps. That’s where you rap the affected area with a castor oil soaked cloth and put a heating pad on top of that for one hour each day. Like so many other things in this weird disease, I rolled my eyes and thought that’s not going to work! But, low and behold, it did work. It worked everywhere except my left ankle. Dr Kim thinks that my losing weight so fast has caused my body to release lots of toxins in my body. Whatever this is has lodged there and will not go away. So Friday night I was sitting here watching more old movies. I bit down on a piece of chicken and the cap popped off of my lower right back tooth. About the same time the filling fell out of my lower left back tooth. Of course it was Friday night so no one could help me. And the tooth that the cap fell off of was very sharp and cut my tongue. It was impossible to eat and drink. So yesterday, January 15, I had to load up in my wheelchair and my husband took me to the dentist. He temporarily filled both teeth. My dentist also said because of losing weight so fast my whole bite had changed since the last time I had seen him and that’s why the cap and the filling popped out. I’ve been wanting to lose weight but it’s almost more trouble than it’s worth! Otherwise, I think I would feel great if I could just get out of this damn bed!! I’m trying to keep my spirits up but it’s getting really hard.
