Doctor update...

[plunkybug]

In my haste to update with the news of my parents stuck at sea, I neglected to update about what happened at the doctor's office. Not a whole lot was learned about my back, but I had some x-rays done, which I rather expected. I also had chest x-rays for the breathing issues. I will get a call back once the results of both x-rays come in. She checked for wheezing, but said I wasn't wheezing, but I could still be suffering asthma, and she gave me an Advair sample, with prescription, to see if it helps loosen up my chest a bit. So, she hasn't said, "yeah, you have asthma" in so many words, but getting the chest x-ray and script makes me think she suspects it at the very least. The only treatment for the back at this time is pain medication or heat therapy. So, no diagnosis on the back/leg/hip thing yet, and no positive comfirmation on the chest thing. Possibly asthma in the chest. Possibly nerve pinching or inflamation in my back.

Well, thanks for the update. Was keeping an eye out. Hopefully you'll get more satisfying results once the X-rays are in. I'm sorry for the discomfort that all of this is undoubtedly causing

Hope your parents will be back and okay soon, too! I'll be keeping them and their situation in my thoughts. Keeping an eye out for an update there.

I've been meaning to ask you a Q for a while but A. keep getting side tracked and B. not sure how to articulate it.

I'll try: Once you were telling me about filters, and it led me to think about something that I've been wishing to do and never can seem to see that there is a way, and wondered if you knew of one and if there was one could explain.

Is there a way to have like "separate friends page lists?" Like for example, if I wanted all my communities on one friends list so I could better see the personal journals of my friends on a separate flist. Is this even possible? How to set up, if possible?

Thanks.

I will email about the filters, though I have to go to bed now. If you don't get something from me soon, remind me. I get very forgetful during allergy season.

My folks are supposed to be back tomorrow night. Tuesday night. Tonight I guess, as it is technically Tuesday here. Heh he.

I think the leg/hip thing is more annoying right now. I did something in the bathroom at work that made it hurt really bad. Thing is, I don't always know what will trigger it, or how severe the pain will be. The Advair seems to be helping a little, but I have my questions about it, and possible side effects I may be having. Hopefully x-ray results soon.

Thank you so much about filters. I have been wondering about this since way before meeting you in person!

So I do look forward to your email. Will remind if I don't hear from you within a week.

I'm glad about your parents. WHEW.

Of course you have Q's about your leg/hip thing! I'm sorry it's so annoying. At least the Advair is helping a little, but I know we need more info and answers, and I really hope the xrays will help soon.

Hugz to the PB.

Thanks. Got the email from the folks tonight...they are back!

Preparing the email as we speak, well sort of. :)
