I am trying to build my strenght back after being deathly sick. July 13, 2012 I collapsed on concrete slab. I had recently moved to the upper peninsula of Michigan. I had spent most my life in Kenosha. Co Wisconsin and lake county Illinois prior to moving here(BY FAMILY)..DON EVER DO THAT. I was taken to OSF hospital...admitted was given blood transfusion. I stayed a couple days and released with a sites ..unable to walk on my own. One nurse and doc of ostepatic medicine said I would never walk again.the same. I saw a liver Dr and he said I had cirrhosis and was in liver failure. He performed parasentesis..by fluid filled right back. I was scared to death knot knowing if I would live. I was put on aldactone and lasix. After may tests pet and ct scans...liver biopsy ..eventually lung biopsy.colonoscopy, endoscopy.etc etc. There was a pea size tumor on rt upper lobe of the lung. By November I had a wedge section removed from incisions on ribs then pulling ribs apart for surgery. I have been eating healthy..I an no longer anemic..sodium level is under 1000 mg per day. I just got the first yr ct scan results and cancer free still. It showed I had thinning of the bones around the area where surgery was done. I fave pain there on right upper back. My PCare Dr gave me 5mg 3 times daily of oxicodone. I see him in 4 MTS. It s so cold here20 below zero for while. No exercise and after paying rent my landlord informed he sold the place and he is closing the end of month. Now I am getting very nervios..which makes me more tense. I feel like I just dropped into the twig light zone.I did overcome some obsticals. hard hard obsticals. I enjoy making health meals, lowering sodium, no drinking....and I sure don t want to get addicted to pain meds. That I am watching very close. My right arm hurts bad now ...up to shoulders and back from typing one handed on this tablet. Hope to hear from u soon Sharon Holmes YYYY@YYYY
