Like Huey says, I want a new drug!

Hi Kids,
I have a question for you to ponder. Have you ever been sick and the vet [that is code for Dr.] could not quite figure out what to do for you? So he say's I think it is this so take this drug and have this test and we will see if that helps. What a bunch of crap. I have been sick since the end of January. Bronchitis/asthma, Blood clots in lungs with shooting stabbing pain in ribs. So the bronchial stuff went away kinda. The clots also took their leave. So now its the pain. When it gets bad and it does most every night it is like getting stabbed in the ribs between your ta ta's and arm pit. Then it radiates all the way around my back. It is shingle pain without the blisters.

So yesterday when I went to the vet again for a blood test, he is trying to keep my blood thin so it won't clot so easily, I told him about this pain again. I tell him every time that I am in there and it is always something else. This time he says I think it might be nerve damage. So Monday I go for an MRI. I swear I am going to glow in the dark or levitate from all these test. I have had radio active stuff put in me. Now I will be in this damn tube that could pull a quarter out you butt if you swallowed one. And while your in it, it sound like someone with a very large hammer is pounding on the thing. JUST RELAX they tell you. Relax my ass I just lost my quarter! However I will do what I have to to get rid of this pain. So the vet gave me another drug. I was taking 1500 mg. of vicodin at night for t he pain and it barely touched the pain. I have only taken two of the new ones and so far it is ify at best. I woke up at 8:00 a.m. and for those of you who know me that in itself was like an act of God. I was up, dressed and had errands done by 10:00 a.m. back home doing laundry and cleaning the house. OMG. Vision is a little fuzzy but hey. I read the sheet that tells you what the side effects could be but I did not see running around like a chicken with its head cut off.
So I am going to hang out my sheets and hope a bird does not poop on them and clean some more.
This one day @ a time will get done in 8 hours. Woo Hoo.
