I went to the doctor about 3 weeks ago to check on things and figure out why I was constantly sweating. I go to my check-up and am told that because I've been sweating and having pain in my hip, I'm going to need a bone scan to make sure everything's okay. In addition to the bone scan, I was told I had skin breakdown on my heels and to fix this, I would be referred to a wound doctor.
I went to the wound doctor and the sore was debred, don't know where that word comes from. Basically, the hard, dead skin was scraped off and that night I didn't sweat. AMEN. I've been going to the wound center for about 3 weeks now and my heel is healing and I'm soooo thankful and happy.
One extra note: The nurses at the wound center are the nicest nurses ever.

I'm Late....As Usual
I know it's a bit late, but this is my first post of '09, so I must say HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!! Last year went by extremely fast, in my opinion, but I'm glad it's over with and into another one. I must say, this year kinda got off to a rough start for me and I'm only eight days in. Now, if I can't do anything, I think I can tolerate pain. I mean, I usually hurt daily, but without complaint. But, I hope these past few days isn't an indicator for what's ahead for me this year.
For starters, my wisdom teeth decided to make an appearance this year, and we all know how painful a toothache is. I mean I was hurting so badly that I called for a dentist. This even surprised me, but that is what pain will do to you.
I also was tricked because I thought that if I started back taking my medicine, I would stop all this weird sweating that's doing a number on my hair. But noooo, I'm still sweating and in essence, going to the beauty shop in vain. But I did make an appointment and hopefully two weeks from now, I'll know why I've been sweating and ended it, too.
I know I haven't written much, but I'm tired now. I'll be back real soon.

I've Decided to See to the Doctor
I don't know about you, but if there's one thing I really, really hate, it's going to a doctor's office, clinic, hospital, etc., basically anything medical related. I have no idea why I hate it so much. But, when I think about it, who enjoys visiting those places?
Well anyway, I've decided to make an appointment to see my neurologist because for a couple weeks now I have been sweating profusely on the left side of my body. Weird, I know. It gets even weirder. I only sweat when I'm laying on my right side or I've noticed, when I'm in church. And the sweating occurs on the left side of my face, down my neck, and halfway down my left arm. Soooo very crazy.
I have no idea why this sweating started, but now it's affecting my sleep and when things start affecting my sleep, they must immediately be dealt with. Hence, the reason I need to be seeing my cute doctor as soon as possible. I just hope he doesn't prescribe me ANY size pill. Yes, I hate taking pills, too.
