Dennis,
What's the latest news from home ?

DirkaDirka

Well I talked to her yesterday morning her time and she was going to be going to the ER in Reno instead of going in to the ER in town. The doctors that she was seeing in town were hoping that the hospital in Reno would admit her in due to her having another flare-up. She has an appointment back east at Vanderbilt with the doctors that she had before when she was pregnant. They still remembered her even after over 2 years since she seen them last. She will me moving back East the very beginning of July when the rental that she is getting opens up July 1st. As of right now that is all the news I have. She was getting better until she had this flare-up again.

Man that's too bad Dennis, I was hoping she'd be better by now, what doesnt Neveda have any decent doctors???
Get her to Memphis, we have some of the best health care in the country here.

I know you'd like nothing more than to be at home taking care of your wife right now, but that's your cross to bear my friend, hang in there, it wont be long and you'll forget all about that god forsaken place.


Blessings and prayers sent>Cp

It seems like all the doctors in town care about is the money that they can make. Vanderbilt has some of the best care and they wont stop searching for what is wrong at any cost. When 3 other hospitals were saying that she was having cramps while being pregnant was just due to stress(which she didnt have any) and handed her meds for them I took her down to Vanderbilt in Nashville and they ran every test possible on her and they found that the cramps and pain was from her gall bladder being 3/4 full of stones. Yeah they gave her meds to deal with the pain but only because they wanted to wait till she was 18 weeks along before putting her thru surgury to remove her gall bladder.

Also all the doctors that she goes to right now just think she is a druggie and just wants the drugs. They also think she is crazy and making everything up. I really doubt that she is making it up when she only like a month or so along with our first one she was wrestling baby horses trying to get halters on them. She was being stubborn when she was doing that and wouldnt let me do it by myself.

I just talked to her for a few mins just now and they did admit her in the hospital and have already done a catscan and an X-ray on her to see what they are dealin with. I dont know what all else they are going to do but she is in a private room due to her immunity being down and the fact that they dont know what she has and if it can be passed onto someone else at all. She is in good spirits so far. It is looking right now that the doctor is going to be doing anything possible to figure out what is wrong so we shall see how this turns out.

Well an update on the wife situation................

It is official the doctors in Nevada dont have a clue what they are doing. They are discharging her from the hospital and think that she will be fine if she just eats. The thing is that she cant really eat anything otherwise it feels like she just got hit by a semi due to the pain being so bad. It gets soo bad that she curls up in the fetal position.

dont give up, take her back to the doctors , whenever she needs it get a 2nd and 3rd oppinion, some times they dont want to take the time to figure out the problems, dont give up and dont take nothing is wrong for a answer

Yeah it is sad when the doctors think that she is making everything up. The test that they did on her was after she had been on Steriods for the infection. They took all of her meds away so now she has to deal with pain. This is one reason why I love it back East in TN-KY. The doctors actually care about the patients.

We are both keeping in good spirits the best we can right now. I know once she gets back East she will be in good hands.
