Living With Sickle Cell Anemia…

thumbnailSCDHey Everyone, And welcome to my world, basically a update from my two checkups. Not good updates, but hey I’m still alive, so I can’t complain. Right now Im waiting on phone call, on my blood work, lets just say I wasn’t happy about gettting stuck by a person who didnt know what they was doing. Bad enough my doctor was on vocation and I had lady who didnt know what she was talking about, so ummm she didnt order all the blood work I need’d. So I got a feeling when I do get a call, Its not going to be a good one. Makes you wonder why give me a appointment when the person I need to see when they on vocation? I don’t believe she like my attitude much, if you come in talking like you know everything I had while I was in hospital.. You already on my bad side. Sighs…

 

Primary doctor update didn’t go so well either, I had to wait awhile just to be seen… Add’d more poison to the list, for me to take. Since everything I eat, makes me feel uneasy, now I have ear infection on top of that. Im debating on taking more meds. My headaches have gotten worser, and trying to go to school with them is no joke. I dont want my meds up, because I would sleep all day,and I do enough sleeping as it is due to my health. So I believe I didn’t forget anything, if so I share in another post when I have another doctor appointment next month.

Doctor Appoitnment (Update)

Good Morning,

 

 

I know I was supposed to do this a few days ago, I have been busy trying to get the last-minute studying in, and have to be honest I had my head in a good novel, that I couldn’t put down! 🙂 So I’m a book-worm, feels good to be able to read some more like I use 2. It actually went well, it was basically a check up since I got out the hospital. I really havent been feeling my best, so that was another reason to go as well. My blood count is still in the 7’s, I must admit it’s not the best but I’m so thankful it’s not a 6. I probably would be back in the hospital, which I must say it feels like my home away from home lately. Thats sad to say, I know. But if you new on my JOURNEY, YOu don’t know I have been in the hospital every month since September, I believe I have had a transfusion, ever since then as well. I have to say trying not to worry since I haven’t been feeling my best. I have to put it all on GOD hand.  Oh yea I do have new primary doctor, I know I mention that back awhile. If you wondering if my old doctor gave the okay and sent my referral heck no, he even call me while I was in the hospital to ask if it was true that I wanted to change primary doctor. I said yes.  It was actually his wife and she had the nerves to have attitude. Even the doctor I have now, even call him to get it and still nothing, or you surprise? You know it took a long time to get him to fax the information over to see the sickle-cell specialist. But last month I took the time to call my insurance to change the doctor, so it kicks in next month.

Living With Sickle Cell Anemia(Update)

I don’t plan on making this long post, since I’m still not feeling my best. I know while I was in hospital I left off at Day 4. Lets just say things weren’t looking good for a while, but I was BLESS with a good doctor while I was int here. I know I had left off with telling you all I had bronchitis, but he was worry about  me getting acute chest syndrome, which I got back in 06 and lets just say it wasn’t looking good for me back then. It’s safe to say I didn’t get it. 🙂 My blood count went up to to 10 but it actually was 9.6 since for some odd reason I was dehydrated so it gave a false reading the first time. I can honestly say it still is 9.5. I actually got 2 units of blood my hospital stay.

 

 

 

Oh yea, they actually did fax my paperwork over to sickle-cell clinic finally but only prove me for 3 visits. Hmm, what can they find out in only 3 visits? So I’m just waiting for call from the sickle-cell clinic so we can get that rolling. Wow, took long enough right? I actually have change my primary doctor since I been home as well. I need one that can actually come see me when I’m actually in the hospital. Once again I’m so thankful, touch, for the prayers you all been sending my way. Your kind comments kept my spirits uplifted. I Pray All Is Well! God Bless 🙂
