Well we got good news yesterday I think. They didn't find any bleeding so very possibly the meds. Her iron is down to 2% so she is definately going to have to have a few iron infusions but no C so far. Biopsies won't be back for a couple of weeks but part of the problem may be a gluten allergy. We had to be there at 1215 and didn't get out till 1730. So now it is just wait and see. She did have Hemorrhoids but that is from the ........ shes had, it would be great if it was just a gluten problem. The iron will probably take at least a month before she feels better. Thanks for the prayers I know they helped. She is also having problems keeping her O2 up to above 90 but I think the cigarettes aren't helping in that area plus her hemoglobin is really low. We can't increase our iron through oral methods because of this gastric by pass we have had. Still not out of the woods but hopeful. Thanks again.

that's wonderful to hear legs......will keep praying for the biopies, please let us know as soon as you find out. Glad there was no bleeding, hope that just came from the meds. How is she doing with the vaping? Hope she can really make a go of it this time to help her 02 sat.

That all sounds encouraging that's it's not as serious as your feared. Prayers continuing.

Good to hear, Legs!

Dang docs give us one med so they can make $$ treating the side effects.... :sneaky:

and continued thoughts and prayers for full recovery.

A side note, and perhaps helpful to finish dragging her into vapeland. Last physical (early summer), my O2 measured 100, never seen that before vaping!

Ah Patrick! That certainly is encouraging news. Just got back from a 1.3 mi brisk walk and had to check in to see if you posted. This is a good chance for you to baby her a bit. I'd think she'd be pretty low energy until the iron and 02 gets back up. {{{HUGS}}} to both of you!

Hope I didn't miss anything of great importance in my short absence, during which I missed 180 posts.

Legs, keeping my fingers crossed for your wife. Too bad she can't take iron orally because we could disarm one frying-pan-wielding person if she could.

Do you think this is a genuine SX Mini? SX Mini M-Class 60W Black Temperature Control VW APV Box Mod

And how is Mrs. Cromwell coming??
First reconstructive surgery delayed again due to swelling not gone down enough. Maybe Monday.
I am heading back to the hospital now. Great place to spend a day off?
Much better for me than her though....

Patrick and Robert,

We'll continue to do our 'part'!


Dave,

Have you received your new big boy toy (QC) yet?


Well, Patty and I are 'bout to meet up with seapeach (Susan) and her entourage for a lunch&vape by da water in slap dab gorgeous weather.

There is that... and if she has a private room, you can stealth!

More thoughts and prayers for you both.

Good news so far. I will definitely keep you both in my prayers. Remember that we are here for you and that you also have my email and phone number. Feel free to call anytime if you want to talk. Also don't forget that the hangout is available too.

I couldn't bring the site up but YiHi sets the price and right now that is 179 so if it is not that or more I would say it is a clone. In fact I think I remember looking there before and asked some others and they said they were clones.

It's a clone but, is it any good? Lots of decent clones out there. Just saying.
