After Doctor's Visit,
...I am now on furosemide to remove the excess fluid which has caused swelling in my ankles and belly.
...It is a very low dose, because she is concerned about not overworking my kidneys.
...I am taking KCl to replace any K removed with the fluid.
...I have a greenlight to continue using the vibrator on my belly to mask the pain or loosen the muscles. It didn't work all night long, so I hope that was just an anomaly.
...We started the process of bringing DSL broadband into the house so I can move a PC into the foyer for the fall and winter. My office gets really cold and I don't want to face that all winter.

I'm glad you are doing the DSL thing move into the house! It's worth the trouble, huh?

love,
Kay

Hi Ray,

Do you want to come down and experience Hurricane Ike. It might be a rough one like our old friend, Ike O'Dell was. I have some great memories with him. He taught me how to swing a sledge hammer while working on the City of Nowata crew. Unfortunately, he was holding the pipe when I swung and missed, hitting his wrist. Needless to say, he growled at me and never held the pipe for me again!!

I am still believing that God is going to remove this from you. Keep the faith, Brother!!

HI RAY, MY NAME IS ANN PRUETT AND I WAS JUST REFERRED TO YOUR BLOG BY LYNDA MONROE OF PLANO. I THINK WE ARE NEIGHBORS.....I LIVE IN SHERMAN, TX. AND AM JUST 20 MIN. FROM THE OK. BORDER/RED RIVER. WHAT YOU ARE TAKING SOUNDS VERY EXCITING AND I WILL BE PRAYING THAT IT WORKS. I AM GLAD YOU DO NOT LIVE ALONE. THIS IS NOT THE TIME TO BE ALONE. I REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO SAY EXCEPT THAT I AM SORRY THAT YOU ARE GOING THROUGH SUCH A TRIAL. I LOST MY HUSBAND 3 1/2 YRS. AGO AND HAVE NOT RECOVERED FROM THAT YET. THEN, I JUST LOST MY BABY BROTHER ON MONDAY. HE HAD PANCREATIC CANCER......WHAT A DEVASTATING DISEASE. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR WIFE AND GOOD LUCK.
