Lupus and Me....

This is my first blog on this site and for me it's going to be like a diary I guess. I am having a hard time wrapping my brain around what the Dr told me on Tuesday. It was bad enough that I had to wait 3 hours to see him but for him to tell me that the x-rays showed Aseptic Necrosis and refer me to the Orthopedic clinic and physical therapy is a whole new thing to me. Hip Replacement Surgery, me???? I'm too young for this bullshit!!! I'm only 49 and never thought I would have Lupus in the first place and have to see a specialist about a hip replacement in the second place.

 

This is the time that I miss my parents the most. Going under the knife for me isn't an easy thing. I had to call everyone on the "crew" list to let them know what is any to take place at the end of the year. I'm going on vacation first to celebrate my family reunion in Georgia. I am truly trying to get all my fun in before I make a decision. I'm hoping there is something else they can do besides surgery.

My platelets are up @ 149 white blood cells are up (last time they were low) so I had good labs on this visit, it just bugs me that he won't take me off the prednisone and that is what is causing all this trouble.

I will blog again in a few days or even tomorrow, sleepy now...

Goodnight blogspot <3
