So what's been happening over the past year.... The main thing is I got diagnosised with s rare infection in March that we are still dealing with - Mycobacterium chelonae. And all I can say it has been a nightmare. Multiple IV medications, horrible sores which turned into wounds, hospital stays and a new doctor. I'm working on adding another page about the infection. But because of this infection I have had to stop my RA meds - which is awful. The other main thing is I have a broken back - two compression fractures at T11 and T12. I have had two different back braces and also now have been using a walker, I Just now this week got the OK to have my kyohoplasty surgery done which should really help me out. I have been in and out of the hospital all spring and summer due to the infection and RA flare ups, I got blood clots again in my lungs and now will be on blood thinners for life because it's my third time getting them. I've been Rx with anemia and needed blood transfusions because my hemoglobin fell so low. Fall has been good to me and things are going ok.. So... That's it in a nutshell.
