recent run of tests. Blood only
chloride up
cholestrol up
Free T3 up
Vit B12 way down
Vit D. NORMAL
YEAH to that!
the EEG did not show anything, as the two machines flunked out on me. I say its cos I am boobless, doctor laughed said I am prob so radioactive (not funny says me) but no explanation. But the TD echocardiogram from a few months ago, still stands.. moderate membranous subarotic stenosis (guess I is old) and that pesky newly found systolic ejection murmur thingy. hence the TD echo whatzit.

Mid moderate tricuspid regurgitation (sounds like I need burping)
and I need to have a CT scan of the abdomen to hunt for a hernia, to see how damaged something called rectus muscle is, and finally to locate the distal end of the shunt tube, which seems to have wandered off. Oh ya and put on more meds and taken off some. All in all I am doing ok. still watching my eyelid as it seems weirder, but will see my TRUSTED optomistrist who writes evil letters to the surgeons, when she finds things going amuck in the earlid which it is now. and my dear nueoroligist still loves me, and says to calm myself down, and insists I partake in a sleep study mid april I asked him if I could take a sleeping pill. (I did one of these back in 2007 and failed it miserably and they did no followup) another medical place, not this one. So we shall see what is troubling bonnie lea. if anything. I don't expect anything. Cos camping soon comes.
well, I keep em busy. and I am glad I see my glass as half full, even if some of my doctors don't GRRRR to them.

still trying to get info on the counts. I did however find some interesting reasons for the B12 problems. and they relate to a long standing drug I am taking. so we see.
Also the doctor I went to see (he who remeoves all my melanoma and he who found the breast cancer when no one was even looking even though I thought something was not right with the boobs) well he is scheduling a abdominal CT scan, to first find out (did not believe another doctor who told him no hernia) so he wants to make sure, and to find if the shunt tube has gone on a 'walk about' and to check on the conditionn of the rectus muscle, and to makes sure nothing icky is on what ever organs are there. Something I feel the docs at PMH should have kept on doing but have stopped cos I am not interesting I think. Which in its self is good, but when the patient is showing signs of other stuff (case in point the boob issue for two years) and then what happened, after a reduction surgery it is found. boggles my mind.
guess I stop posting for a while, seems rather a moot point when others read, but do not add to make for discussion cept to blow me out of the water for me being perhaps unthinking, uncaring, or downright rude? or maybe she is just down, which is correct. So am I.
worried about my sister in law. stress does add up too fast within Bonnies self. Must go and find something to do, like wash a cat.

Hey Bonnie,
I think that there are so few people visiting here anymore. The "old guard" which was the true backbone of the MPIP has drifted. I've been discouraged but hang on cause I know you and a few others are still around sometimes. I think we need to reconstitute the gang without the strictures of the corporate image site that MRF has imposed. It sure is pretty, but….
Oh well things just never stay the same.

well, Jerry, from one lover of lob-is-ters to a dis-lover of the dainty little crusteacans I agree with you. But someone tried to do that recently and no one bit. I cannot think we all have gotten that old and (word has escaped me) maybe it is jaded? something like that.
I miss the chit-chat and I cannot be all alone in that. FB is ok, but it is missing something, that I cannot put my finger to. I think here, when one of us has a horrid day, to know we can blow up and we are still loved, means alot or in my case when I feel just Oh I cannot even find words darn….but I am sure things will brighten up one day. I hope you are doing AWACBE Jerry of Cape Cod.
keep safe.
love Bonnie Lea

Bonnie Lee, you don't know me from Adam, but I am one of those that view posts and then don't respond. I just wanted to let you know that I love to read your posts – you are always so honest with your feelings, and you always try to find the humor even when you're down. I hope you don't stop posting.
If I were more witty, I would try to join in the conversation on this side of the board, but I just can't think of anything clever to say. I do enjoy reading, though.

I agree with Dian just Dian I feel like everyone is always seeing my name there, and no one bothers I know we are all busy, but this is a much needed thing
Did I tell you guy already, that I am sheduled for a abd CT scan to find if my tube from shunt has gone on a walk about, and if they can locate this mysterious hernia, that I dont know about, and to see if some muscle is wriecked. That was all the reasons I was was given why no tram flap surgery etc would be done. Hence boobless bonnie in Pickering. I am so tired as I am busy looking after a mother, who fell last week, and cannot decide when she wants to do things. like shower. etc. I wanna nap now. I think new meds making me wanna nap.
Spring that has sprung where it has sprung. Did anyone get wowed by the moon the other night? I could not see it, cloudy over my house. But I sensed it was out there, cos our black cat went her usual full moon maddness.
