A Catch Up

Oh Lisa, fingers crossed and prayers on the way that this new doc is able to pinpoint what is going on with you. Nothings worse then being sick and not knowing why. I glad to know that you are feeling better though.
Please let us know what this new doc has to say and I hope it isn't a disappointment to you.

I'm happy to hear that Sable, Gable, Garbo and Chowder are doing well and pray that LarryJerry gets well very soon.

Thanks so much for posting this, Lisa!! You both are doing such a good job by taking care of those strays

. Here in Belgium all shelters are full too; there was a commentary on TV, showing how they have to put several cats or dogs together because so many new ones are coming in...

.

Take good care of yourself, okay

I hope that the docs can tell you what's wrong this time. Knowing what you have is the first step to recovery

Lisa - I really hope an answer comes soon, especially now that the docs know what it isn't!

Just post when you can - will look forward to news from you.

Hug that lovely cat family for me.

Prayers heading your way!

Thanks to all of you with your well wishes and concerns. I really appreciate it. This last Dr. was SO much better and is digging into the problem vs. masking it with pain medication. The good news is she is not concerned about the area on the lung and feels it's from the pneumonia. She also said it may have been viral pneumonia instead of bacterial which takes longer to clear. Another problem she feels I may be dealing with is Asthma. She gave me a shot for inflammation and said I should feel better within a day. If I do, then most likely I am dealing with it. If I don't, then they will be checking into heart disease and other things. I feel much better mentally knowing this most likely is nothing life threatening, but something that took some time to get over and could possibly be lingering due to other issues. I go back in 3 weeks for a follow-up. She also wants another CT scan in a couple months to see how things look. I walked in her office at 12:30 and walked out at 2:30. The whole time was spent with her discussing my past health history, my recent symptoms, and how she will help me. She said I do not have to feel like this the rest of my life. I do believe this Dr. will help. Again thank you all who have been concerned for me.

Bravo!! Isn't it great when you finally get a doctor that you can count on. I'm so happy to hear your news.

I'm so glad you found a doctor willing to work this through and heal you instead of reaching for the prescription pad.

Hope you get better soon. We miss your posts and updates.

Lisa, SO glad you've finally found a doctor that truly seems to want to help. Just the peace of mind that brings is worth the price of admission alone.

Hope you continue to feel better!

maya and inky's mom!/ I used to live in belgium. forgive the spelling but I lived in chevres and silly! :-) do you live anywhere near those places?

**rg_girlca** · 05-31-2007, 08:50 PM

Oh Lisa, this doctor sounds like just what you needed to lift your spirits up.
This is exactly what you needed to start thinking more positive, which definitely will help you mentally and physically.

Prayers still on the way that in a day or two, YOU will feel better. Drink plenty of water, it will help.

Take care of yourself and get plenty of rest.

Your dr. sounds like a winner. Wish I could find one like that around here. Sending lots of energy to you, hoping that you'll feel better really soon.
