I swear that life has it in for some of us. ON my way to the Doctor the feds picked for me for a second opinion, I was stopped at a stop sign and a gal rear ended me. She cracked my bumper. I was afraid of being late for the doctor's appointment because if you do not show up, they cut off all your benefits. So I took pics of her front end and my rear that she hit. She didn't believe me when I went to the body shop I used that the damage was $445. Everyone else wanted to replace the entire bumper She gave me a card. I was not thinking. I should hve gotten her insurance information and everything else. I was able to call my insurance company and with her license plate get everyone from them. The insurance lady then got all info on the phone for me where I was able to give her the license plate number from what happen. The driver of the other car does not want to pay and she told me that it could not be that much money. Her front end license plate from WS was bent and cracked my bumper. So we will see what happens-the Toyota place wanted to replace the entire bumper for 720 + change while my place was 445 with no credit card. Life is a bitch sometimes. I also lost a tooth from the fall, it was an implant. IT has been replace but the cap has not been put one because my teeth hurt. This is over $4000. I think I irritated my TMJ with the fall. My cervical spine also has some bulging discs now. I have not only a rotator cuff tear that needs to be repaired but my upper bicep is tore and inflamed as well. He is going to repair that also which means no therapy for 2 weeks and not lifting anything with my right arm heavier than a piece of paper. This will be hard I think on me. I hope I can read and sleep it away. They are giving me some drugs to take at night to help me sleep. My exercise program will be down the tubs and everything will get weak again. Bummer big time indeed. So life goes on. This also does not take into effect the kidney stones they found in my right kidney and the left knee which hurts a lot of the time where I am getting an MRI tomorrow on it. Life is a bitch sometimes. I sometime wonders if it beats the alternative.

I think the only place more expensive than a doctors or a dentists office is the body shop!!! Just a little fender-bender can run into thousands as fast as you can take two deep breaths!!! It's ridiculous! The last time I had to use a body shop I had good insurance. They had to replace the entire rear bumper and this was for a Saturn which they don't make anymore (I don't have that Saturn anymore by the way!) Saturn parts department sent over the wrong bumper so I had to wait a longer time yet. But insurance provided me with a courtesy car and I could drive it anywhere, anytime. But still having even a little fender-bender can be an expensive, time-consuming and time-wasting ordeal!
I hope your car is back up and running again soon! And that you are also back up and running even sooner than you think, as well!!!

So, I got my blood work done but not a dentist's appointment. The clinic that I was trying to go to is not taking new people and they are the only one around that takes Medicaid (I live in a very small town so)
My tooth is not hurting as bad as it did but still hurts quite a bit.
Going to try again tomorrow to find somewhere. Got a lot of families trying to find somewhere that will take my Medicaid or I will have to go to the ER if it gets too bad.

Going to the ER is not a bad idea, don't get sick. The infection from a tooth can really screwed up your entire body. I know when I had infected teeth in the past-I could not heal my body. When my tooth got fixed-I was fine. Blessings-in my prayers for healing-keep me in yours-Tuesday is my surgery on my rotator cuff and bi-cept-a tear in that also.

So just got the report posted from the Hepatology doctor.
They are going to do a HIDA scan of my gallbladder as all the other scans show that things are okay but if my gallbladder is acting up then that would account for the high levels in my liver. The doctor took one look at me and was like yea, this is not due to a weight issue. I am 5' 11' but have massive shoulders and huge leg muscles so he was like you carry weight very well even though you could drop a few pounds. I told him I am normally 225-230 so up 5 pounds is like eating dinner and drink a big glass of sweet tea.
This doctor was very much to the facts. He looks at all my scans and feels like my Gallbladder may need to go but was open about that it will not fix my other issues but may do away with my right side pain as that is what he feels it is coming from. So tomorrow I have to call and set that up.
And try to find a dentist or go to the ER this week as the hospital has oral surgery doctors that may be able to get me in with someone.
So a lot to do this week now.

Mind went in the 1980's, when I was so sock with the brain tumor and didn't know. IT is not that bad anymore-the incisions is very little and they don't keep you in the hospital like they did me for 10 days. My apprentice was too far away so they didn't take it out but this might be a consideration if they take your out. I couldn't eat anything and lost a lot of weight. I had little stones that blocked my duck and the pain was terrible.

So, Just got my blood work back.
Negative on all types of Hepatitis (I was vaccinated against them before residential college in 2013 so)
But my IgG is up and so is my Ferritin not over the high line but the IgG is enough that my doctor when we talked was likely right about my Gallbladder being the issue so tomorrow I am calling about that HIDA test.
