I haven't been very active here lately because I've been so freaked out and depressed by the Cushing's diagnosis. I felt like I don't have much to offer because no matter how hard I try, I don't lose weight, won't lose weight so what's the point... That's been my frame of mind anyway.
Well. Last week I ended up with my first case of celulitus and was sick, sick, sick. I had a high fever for most of the week, and I'm one that normally never ever gets a fever. I was sick in bed and I probably slept more last week than I aws away. I was that sick.
So, I went for my recheck, and I'm informed that it looks like I might lose my skin graph. ( had a motorcycle accident 19 years ago and have been paying the price ever since.) The skin graph is about the size of the palm of your hand, maybe a little longer on the outside of my calf, not the best place for one. I see the plastic surgeon next week, soonest I could get in.
So, again I'm majorly bummed out. I gained 3 pounds last week. I can't excersize because I have to keep my leg elevated as much as humanly possible. But at least I can think again, and I'm not fever addled. Just hopped up on pain killers.
