I have indeed been checked for sugar levels. Everybody's always suprised when they're normal, since I have PCOS which frequently goes hand in hand with insulin resistance.Originally Posted by Eden

Good to hear that. Take care of your foot though and hopefully they'll keep you on the anitbioitics a little longer next time, since it seems like it almost worked before.

(((((HipGnosis6))))) I understand about it being a financial hardship, but it sounds as though you need to be seen again.

sending health and money vibes your way, HipG. I'm sickened also when I hear about how much it costs for basic medical attention, which you *need* right now.
I also, though, understand about the wondering where the physical problems end and the psychological stuff starts. I still have no answer on the possible gallbladder issue, and my next appointment, which will be with the GI specialist is Dec 12. I'm glad I don't have to pay out of pocket for all these tests and doc visits, but it sure is moving slowly. So, I too, am experiencing the fatigue that is not bad enough to miss work, but bad enough to not be able to do a whole much of anything other than work....
It sucks, but remember, as with all things, this too will pass.
Hugs and butterflies,

My DH had wound MRSA and yours sounds like his. He had a month of IV drip vancomysin (sp?) 2X day, 2 hours each time. He had a pic line inserted in the hospital so I could do it at home. Also sterile technique wound dressing, etc. It was quite an ordeal.
The 13th is a week from now. No way to get in earlier? I don't like the sound of this.To train a dog, you must be more interesting than dirt.

Get this problem taken care of as soon as you possibly can. And get tested for diabetes. You want to keep your foot!
A former coworker of mine was diabetic (and an alcoholic - as you can imagine this story won't end well) and he got a bruise on his foot from dropping a bigass Folgers can on it. That turned into an infection and he didn't manage it very well. Over the next two years they eventually shortened his leg up to the knee in about 4 different increments. He died of other diabetic-related causes a year ago.
