Eyesa Horg Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 That's absolutely friggin wonderful Blackwater . Let's hope you get back on both feet soon! Sounds like your new medical team is on top of it this time. Thanks for the great update. Hope Schoolmarm is all back to normal as well. You both stay in our thoughts. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackwater 53393 Posted May 1 Author Share Posted May 1 Schoolmarm had another round of blood tests this morning. These were for her kidney doctor. Tomorrow, I see the foot doctor and I’m hoping to be able to get back to walking. There IS an outside chance! 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackwater 53393 Posted May 1 Author Share Posted May 1 (edited) Saw the foot doc this morning. She said that the trip to the Kentucky State Match was good medicine!!! It looks like the skin has closed up to the size of a pinhead. Her take on it is that I should be able to walk a little next week. Went from there to my PCP for the quarterly checkup and he was just as happy with the rest of my health!! I have some followup tests in three weeks for the infection doctor and my new footwear should be here soon too!! THANKS AGAIN to everyone that played “mom” to me at Ponderosa Pines last weekend! The doctors say you folks are GREAT!! And thanks to the prayer posse too!! Edited May 1 by Blackwater 53393 7 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackwater 53393 Posted May 8 Author Share Posted May 8 I just got back from the foot doctor this morning! I GOT MY WALKING PAPERS!! I can walk with a cane and wearing the walking boot for the next week. I visit the doctor again at that point and, if all goes well, I will be able to then go to soft shoes until my new prescription footwear arrives. As of now, I can do short stints on my stationary bike and move around on my feet, carefully! 9 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Good Lord let man invent the wheel so’s he didn’t have to wear out his feet!! I will be working on getting back into some semblance of shape.

Pat Riot Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 On 4/7/2024 at 9:31 PM, Blackwater 53393 said: Pat!! Schoolmarm’s kidney doctor told her to NEVER take another Metformin pill!! My diabetes specialist told me that she wouldn’t prescribe it to anyone, EVER! I know a dozen others who have had trouble with the drug and quit taking it in favor of another medication. Metformin is inexpensive! That is the only reason I can think of for using it and my health is worth a lot more than a few bucks! Disclaimer!!: To the best of my knowledge, all diabetic medications are hard on the kidneys. My doctors have me checked REGULARLY for kidney function!! I go and get checked every three months, RELIGIOUSLY!! Pat, I highly recommend that you do the same!!! That goes for all the rest of you diabetics and pre-diabetics!! I don’t know how I missed this. Thank you Blackwater. I intend to drop Metformin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
