HEALTH UPDATE

No doubt you are tired of reading about my health. Actually I am very tired of dealing with it. I did have my ankle done on Wednesday at the hospital.  

I had my Ankle Debridement. 

Hopefully it will help for a while so I don't have to have the ankle fusion which is not fun at all. I'm also going to check into an ankle replacement which my doctor doesn't do. 

However he said he got out a lot of debris and that my bones looked good. 

I have to admit that I haven't had any procedures at the hospital in a long time where they put you out. It's kinda cool that you go under and then you wake up later. 

I've been depressed. I want my life back. Still having issues with my lungs also. I should never have gotten on Dupixent. 

I believe I told you about my visit to the hospital a few weeks ago for my left leg. From my knee up to my thigh I have had terrible pain. They found nothing and it seems as though it is sciatica. So I'm still dealing with that too. I've started exercising for it and Lidocaine patches seem to help. 

I see my doctor on the 8th and he will take off the bandage. Right now I am in some pain but that is expected. 

The hardest thing for me with these issues is that I can't do all the housework I need to do. Mark keeps telling me to get a maid but I don't want one. I want to be able to take care of my house by myself.

Thank you for listening. I will share more when I know more. I do appreciate all the prayers you have been giving to me. You guys are awesome. 

Love you guys,

Debby

1. Are you feeling more reset, restart, or full speed ahead as we move into May? Tell us why. 

This is a tough one for me to answer. I'm hoping for a restart and full speed ahead after my surgery today. Hopefully I can link this up today.

2. Painting, sculpture, architecture, literature, cinema, theater, music...what's your favorite form of art? Elaborate.  

I'm guessing it's cinema. My dad managed a movie theater so I was always watching movies. In high school I had a birthday party there. We had the balcony to ourselves. 

I still love watching movies but we don't go to the show anymore. We stopped during the pandemic. We used to go all the time. However, there is plenty to watch on TV today. 

3. What time is dinner at your house? How do you feel about leftovers? 

Well we used to eat later but it seems the older we get the earlier we eat. We usually talk to Amber each day around 4:30 and sometimes 3:30. So sometimes we eat before and sometimes after our talks. 

4.What's the last thing you fell down a rabbit hole investigating? 

I guess all of my medical issues. 

5. And now for a question from the book Marilyn (Memphis Bridges) gave me...

At what are you 'self-taught?' 

I'm really not sure how to answer this one. I'm thinking I learned some things early on because my mother was an alcoholic and I often had to take care of things for myself. 

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

So today is my ankle clean out at the hospital. As I mentioned before, I hope I'm able to link this up.

Your prayers are always appreciated.
