I get anxious at the end of the month when I'm paying on my bills.

Britain's ever eroding democracy. The Government are getting far too draconian.
 
Let's see, where do I start. I used my injured thumb to break my fall last Monday and twisted a muscle in my chest when I screamed holy motherF______. Oh I should mention I hurt on Aug 30th squishing it between two heavy steel doors, eight stitches. Wednesday I went to physio and she told me to go to a walk in clinic for my chest got x-rays and meds for my chest. Wednesday night the shit hit the fan. I phoned for an ambulance, off to the hospital and it turned out I now had pneumonia. And my blood sugars were totally off. The first time the machine couldn't read it, too high. Second time 33.3 A little off. Got it down to normal enough and they sent me home. No beds
 
My health. It's been on the decline in the last 2-3 years. Going to see a specialist about it next week and hope to find some answers, maybe a plan of action.

Aww, I hope you get some good news and are on the mend quickly!

As for my current worries...umm... everything?
 
The news I got at my specialist appointment.

I think my current health situation is a little more serious that I'm emotionally able to process.

Basically learned that it's highly likely I had a GI bleed at some point and the endo could quite possibly be invading other organs than the ones I already know of (appendix, sigmoid colon). Getting an MRI done to make certain. If it has invaded my bowels a bit deeper than superficially, then I may need a sigmoidoscopy/colonoscopy and possibly a bowel resection. A urologist may need to get involved as well if it's infiltrated my bladder (pooping and peeing hurts a lot all the time, usually constipated).

I know these are all a lot of 'what if's' but it's hard not to wonder just how much this is spreading. Thinking about just going with a full hysterectomy when surgery can be scheduled and going on HRT.

Oh wow, I'm so sorry to hear this, but I hope everything goes well and it hasn't progressed too much!
 
colonoscopy and possibly a bowel resection
FWIW, @Dee .........I've been there & in emergency mode. No fun whatsoever; but they saved my life & I'm glad to still be here. So if that's something that's ahead of you, Hang in there!!!

I hope you will recover well and quickly. Pain is not fun so I wish you all the painfree moments possible. Any updates?
 
I'm worried about my next x-rays on my back. I'm really hoping it's healing. I can walk for about 10 minutes now before I feel pain. Life is very stagnant. No twisting, bending or lifting until the doctor gives me the okay. The pain is mentally challenging. Next x-rays on the 24th so hopefully good news. And hopefully she can give me ideas or a prescription for pain relief that doesn't affect my blood pressure. I've stopped the perception because it was quite literally going to give me a stroke or heart issues. I'm just using aspirin but that's a blood thinner so I'm trying to keep it down to only when it absolutely has me going around the bend. So twice a day... not good. Anyway...so yeah. It sucks right now.

Wow, that's an awful lot going on. I hope you get some good news soon and some much needed relief!
