That's Alva and isthisrealllyreal, my issue with boccie is him pacing himself with his buddies, and the heat. But your all right, just a little freaked out at how upset and worried his doctor was yesterday.
She cares and that's nice!!

Nurse called and said his blood work yesterday came back really well! I asked her about the dentist, they said they kinda would rather him wait till like September, but it should be ok , anyways Monday he is getting forms done, I'm gonna go, explain it all too dentist, see if he sees any immediate red flags, and go from there, between, dentist, doctors, and so on.

(((((Daisy))))) so many decisions!!!! Sounds like he has a good doctor. I think you are wise to inform the dentist well and see what he and the doc say. Your hub is not used to what he would think as "coddling" himself, but that's probably what he needs to do - for a while anyway.

You are doing a great job! You know him and the situation best. His doc is concerned and giving you sound advice. It's good you can email her with questions. I'm sure you both will figure it out.

Moderation in everything!

Daisy, I totally get the keeping up with the buddies, it's a man thing!

Perhaps a talk with him about rebuilding his stamina and NOT tearing himself apart by over doing it? Maybe talk to his buddies and get them on board to butt in and tell him to take it easy?

My husband is very much a "nothing serious just a severed limb" kinda guy. I just keep an eye on signals how he is doing, then offer him whatever I think will help keep him healthy. He is a big boy and knows what his body is telling him, I try to give him soft landings when needed. It's an art form you will soon have mastered :-)

Daisy, question; is this the same doctor that gave him steroids and missed this all together?

I ask because my husband had a doctor that told him to put his injured foot up for 3 days, that resulted in pulmonary embolisms, nearly killing him, and the doctor was so full of drama about it. I felt it was a diversion tactic because he almost killed my husband with his medical advice. Every doctor that has known about this is shocked that he would have been given such dangerous medical advice. Just a thought.

No it is not the same doctor, that was a PA that he has never seen before, and honestly it was hubbys own gosh darn fault, because I know he didn't explain his symptoms

I never met his doctor, she is really nice, we go to different doctors in the same place. I kinda had issues, with my ex husband telling my doctor, that we were both seeing that I was crazy. Honestly I was crazy, lol but he was making me crazy. Anyways I've always wanted different doctors, just because.

His doctor seems really nice really concerned, and asked him to bring me more often, because I know what I talking about.

They are saying AI is better at diagnosing then doctors now. It has more information and more time and more often gets it right. Just had this happen with daughter who did 7 miles by her exercise watch on one day last week, ended with swollen legs, rash over both. Went to urgent care who hadn't a clue. When she went home and looked it up it was clearly "Exercise Vasculitis" which happens so often to women over 50 visiting Disneyland in the heat that it is called Disneyland rash or Golfers rash (for the same reason). Her electrolytes were a mess, too. She works as a teacher's aid with small ones, four of them, all with behavioral and mental disorders, and her body constantly in motion, then walked all lunch hour to try to wind down. She's retiring this year, than God. But real point for this discussion is how often doctors mis diagnose or miss the diagnosis. In the case of Daisy's love this could have been disasterous, even deadly, giving steroids when the problem was tick borne disease. In daughter's her own research found the answer it would seem.

I have every admiration for modern medicine, it has been my life, but it seems to me we are now getting universal health care care for western costs. That is our care is deteriorating. We can't get appointments with real doctors, who are fleeing or not staying in our country or not wanting to finish their educations to practice here. We see a PA and often have to WAIT to see that person. Everyone is flooding Urgent Care Clinics and ERs. I wonder where Western Medicine is going. I have been really happy and lucky in my care so far, and just see really tough things out there for some others. Worrisome for this fan of Western Medicine.

Daisy. Am jelly of planned trip which sounds wonderful.

Alva, I don't know what's going to happen, seems around me, the farmer type, are going to the doctors, tell the doctors what's wrong and no questions asked.

I begged, pleaded, yelled begged hubby to go to docs, and asked him to get tested for Lyme, so I was on the right track, but he walked in told the PA he over worked himself, doc gave him steroids. I'm still not sure if hubs even got tested for Lyme that day, like I told him too. I was in the right area of tick, just not enough knowledge of them. His stubbornnesss once in a while for somethings can be extreme!!! I was just blindly trusting the PA.

Probably eventually we will just be talking to AI at the doctors.

The little vacation, is just what doctor Daisy ordered. 😂 We both need something to think about, and look forward to without much stress.

Daisy, that sounds so good! I am happy for you both. It's great that the dentist will call his doc and that they work together. Holidays are always good and I'm glad you feel confident about going to Ireland. Sounds like he turned a corner towards healing. These old farmers are pretty tough.
