I still do not have cancer.
But several indicators suggest it is coming.
He reviewed my back ex-rays and gave me more Hydro-cordone.
He looked at my hands and said gout / AS.
Looked at my blood pressure and was stumped,,,,
I will be going to a new pain manager
I keep the New Covenant,
when I fail....I am pulled
back into place by HIM.

Lonnie, I am very relieved and pleased to know that you do not have cancer. Your post title made me worry, so I might have to have words with Lola Mae about keeping a better eye on you and Lin!!
I hope the new pain manager helps. What stumped him about your BP - please tell me that it was because it was so low/normal which goes against the odds given the stress you must be under these days.
Love to you and Lin.
Agape,
Kat

Kat- my dear friend, it was 172/90. And I am on 4 bp meds.
He mentioned weight. My 400# bother has 120/70 bp and a great heart. My dad was always high too.
When working on a roof, or helping a friend move, I can manage the pain in my hands. But the minute I stop and consider what aches I have it is just grueling.
How are you and hubby doing?

Molly- you continue to add so much to our information level here at KA. Thanks.
I need to keep working so I am not sure what I will be able to tolerate as far as helpful meds.
thanks

My dear Lon, if you are on 4 BP meds and your BP is still that high, then there's something wrong. Whether it's your weight, the stress, the pain, or you need different BP meds altogether, it needs to be sorted. Darnit.
Agape,
Kat
