Many of you have been reading and following up on all the Health problems I am dealing with, and being in the Hospital, in a lot of pain, etc. and beginning to wonder if this will ever end. It even seems like it has been one diagnosis after another with even some of the worst things ruled out. I know a lot of you have been Praying and even wondering from day to day if things are ever going to get any better.
I am still in a lot of pain all the time, and now with some of the New meds always tired. Been feeling even a little more stressed than usual, and ready to get off here and take a short nap again. If you have never hurt all over, I would never want it to happen. It does make it hard to be able to enjoy life. I am continuing to work Full time even though I wish there was another income I could rely on when things are feeling this bad.
But they ran more Tests with an Ultrasound on my arteries and veins in my legs, and found some issues and are waiting for an approval from my Insurance to do Lazer surgery to see if that will help. Might be causing some of the other problems like with the chest pains as well. So now we need to Pray and believe God to allow the lazer surgery to happen and that once and for all they can help make my life a little more easier with less pain as well.

Well the biggest problem sometimes is the lack of knowledge a lot of places have in what to do to treat a problem so sometimes it takes many different doctors, and a lot of tests, and sometimes yrs. to completely heal something. Even when you are trying your Best to do what you need to do to take care of yourself.

Well, the Insurance approved everything, and I had the Lazer surgery today. Tomorrow I am going into the Wound Healing center and they will be looking over the wounds and doing another skin graft and I will be asking questions about prognoses and how things are looking and how long they think it will take to get things healed and back on track from here. I am seeing a lot of improvement but wanting to know what to expect from here.

Well as I am sure you know by reading my last update I was approved for the Lazer surgery and they are doing it the 28th. I am quite excited and looking forward to getting this done to see just how quickly it helps out with everything. Since I started going to this Wound Healing Center I have felt very blessed and appreciate all the wonderful thoughts and Prayers.

I hope your insurance company approves the surgery and that it helps you. I know how frustrating it can be! I don't know how you can keep working when you are in pain all of the time. I know you need the money, but if it were me there would be NO WAY I could continue. I have a very low tolerence for pain, and I don't really have any, just the usual aches and pains from aging.

Well as you now know my Insurance company approved the Surgery, and it is happening on Thursday which is in 2 days and on Friday they are doing another skin graft. As for pain, it is hard to be in pain all the time and constantly having to take something for the Pain, and in reality hoping besides the pain from the Fibromyalga this will soon be over. Looking forward for good things to continue to happen.

Well, only time will tell if all of this is going to help heal it faster, and how quick. When I go in tomorrow I am going to ask major questions and see what they suggest is the Best things I need to do from here, and how long they think it is going to take to heal all of this.

Oh Tina 
I am sad to hear yet more waiting anticipation my friend. This has to be truly hard for you. I do hope the lazer surgery helps in some way where at least a great deal of the issues can be dissolved.
I am continually praying my friend and so hoping brighter and healthier days do come your way.

It sounds kind of promising that part of your problem could be with your veins and arteries.. I am agreeing with you in prayer that you will be able to have the laser surgery on your legs. It would be good to be rid of some of the pain and problems, I'm sure.

Well things are going to happen for the best I am sure. There is another update I am planning on making in the next day or two on what new is happening, or going to happen. Right now tonight my leg is looking not the Best and I am a little worried, but know that God is in control.

Well, they have done the right leg now, and so we shall see how it will affect the way I feel all over, and how it will affect the healing process with my leg if it will improve the heal time. I am always hoping for the Best.

must be difficult have to keep working full time when you are in pain all over
I don't have much income and behind bills, but at least I'm not in pain or sick
I hope you get better

Well if there is an easier way out it would be nice, but for the most part even with all this pain I have no choice but to work and Trust god for getting me thru all of this. There are many days I wish things were different and I did not have to go to work. But I am Married, and disability is almost impossible to get anymore, so this leaves me no choice if we are going to keep our house. Just will be glad when I am over this and can work Full time again.

Oh I hate to hear that you're in constant pain. I really hope the doctors are able to do what ever it takes to make things better for you. As I said before, you're in my prayers! And I hope soon too that you get the disability benefits that you deserve! Hugs to you sweetie! Get better soon, please?

Well, even though Disability seems like it would be the Best way to go sometimes with everything I am going thru, I am not sure it would be feasible and something we could wait around to see if I could even ever qualify for. It would mean loosing our home, me having to maybe do without any income for a while, etc. All I know is God is in control, and in time I will be able to look back knowing it has been worth it all.

I have had pain, but not all over and it was only because of chemo. I think that now things will get back to normal and maybe I won't hurt any more. I hope that things work out for you and that you will be able to get the lazer surgery done so that problem can be solved. Keep us updated. Have a great week!!!

Well as you know from reading I am sure the later updates have helped you to see what is going on. They have done the Lazer surgery thing, and I am waiting to see what type of results I will have from here.

Well, they did the one leg and it has only been 3 days but in some ways I think the leg is feeling better. It is also the leg where they are having to do the skin grafts so only time will tell if there is a Big enough change, or if they have to do an ultra sound again to make sure everything is good as well.

Well, all we can do is Pray that is right. I am sure there are many here that if we lived closer would be able to offer more, but Prayers are being heard and great things are coming.

Well I do agree there are days where I feel helpless and hopeless, and then I know that good things are coming. I just have to keep thinking positive no matter what comes my way.

Well, I have heard excellent things about this surgery, and have been told with problems like I have with the Chronic wounds that this helps them to heal a lot faster and also keeps the blood able to flow like it should to keep the wounds from wanting to come back all the time. So I am hoping for the Best.

Tina,
It is sad that with all the technology there is in the medical field that it takes them so long to figure things out, but I hope that you get the laser surgery and that you are feeling better soon. Keep us posted so that your friends here can keep praying for you.

Well, the biggest problem is that there are so many people out there that are not really trained in the medical profession to know what is Best to help treat wounds, and to figure out what is causing them. Many times due to the Budget cuts on Medical care, and insurances, there is not always people able to do all you need to do to find out what is wrong with someone as well. I do know they say the success rate for Lazer surgery of this type is really well so I am hoping for the Best.

KrauseHome, I thank you for being my friend, I wish there was more that I could do for you than offer up my prayers. You keep us informed of your progress.
I can understand what you talk about always being in pain today I have had maybe 4 hours pain free sense I awoke this morning. I am thankful that my pain will all be gone in a few days when the incision have all healed and I use the muscles more.
I will continue to add you in my daily prayers to get to feeling better. I will add the drs also and maybe God will give them and answer to your problems.

Thanks for the continued Prayers my friend. I totally feel that God is in control with this one, and helping guide the Doctor and the Wound Healing center in direction for what is the Best way to help these wounds heal. Not sure how long this will take. (I am hoping not too much longer), but looking forward to the total healing. As for being able to do more, yes this will help, but since I also have fibromyalga it could be a day to day thing to see what I feel like doing.

Dear Tina,
I am so sorry you are going through all this. I pray that God will see you through it so you may get relief. I am going through daily pain to and I struggle everyday with my internal problems. I have gastroparesis which means food moves very slowly though my stomach. I get bloated all the time and I have eat just a few bites of food at atime cause I get so full. I am praying for a cure someday. I can not eat normally anymore. Let hope that both of us can get well.

Wow!! That would not be a Fun thing to be dealing with as well. I had my Lazer surgery today and go in for a Skin graft, and to find out where the prognoses from here is, and what to expect from here. I still need a lot of prayers for this to be over with, but know God is in control.

Yes, the Insurance has approved this, and so now I have a date and am quite excited even though I am a little nervous as well, and hoping that this is what will help this leg to completely heal and stay healed this time. I would hate the thought of knowing that this could happen again if my leg skin gets to dry, and would have to be worrying about am I doing everything I can? Between this and the skin grafting I am hoping for Great results from here. (Somehow believing in a Miracle for my leg to be healed by the end of August as well.)
