UPDATE ON MY HEALTH


This is not my year. Believe me my depression is getting deeper. I pray to God everyday to heal me. I truly can't stop crying each day. I also may not be around to read everyone's blog. 

So I am off of the oral steroids. If you remember I was told by my doctor that the swollen ankles and weak legs were from too many steroids and it should go away after I am off of them. Well something different happened. My legs got weak and it seems like I have neuropathy. I am praying that is not the case and thing will return to normal. 

I was in the kitchen on Monday the 4th of August and suddenly my left knee buckled and I fell to the kitchen floor. Thankfully I didn't hurt myself. Mark said I better use our walker. I had used it like 8 years ago when I had knee replacement and Mark used it when he fell and had knee surgery 2 years ago.

Let me tell you that this is not me and I am not ready for this at all. I am praying that this will change and my legs will be fine. It is mostly my left leg that is affected. I did call to see my doctor ASAP but he wasn't in but I did see a man who fills in when he is not there. I got an x-ray and will be getting an MRI. I got some pain medication too. 

Thankfully my lungs are better and I will be starting the Dupixent injections for COPD in 2 weeks. 

I DO NOT WANT TO USE A WALKER!
I HAVE HAD ENOUGH!

I’m so sorry you are having to deal with this. Maybe a brace to keep your leg from buckling? I’m glad to hear your breathing is better! Be safe! Prayers!
