Dr. Alvarez August Sleevers

[StormWarning 194]

I'm not sure because I can't get insurance due to my type one diabetes and I'm considered high risk, but I know if anything goes wrong Dr. Alvarez will take care of it

I completely agree. I had asked Susan about follow-up blood work with Dr. Alvarez cause I do not have any insurance and even the yearly blood works are outrageously expensive. She said I was always welcome to come back for follow-ups, and also stated that if anything was wrong that Dr. A would do his best to fix it. That is an awesome feeling.

Wow, sorry for taking so long to update the calendar. All of a sudden I saw our little thread listed as "Hot" in the August 2012 forum.

Just finished reading through the posts. Anyone know how Susie is doing?

[allnewme 262]

Have not heard from Susie , I hope that she has not gotten sicker. I feel so bad for her!

Me too! Susie, where are you? Please check in when you can...

Also, friends, if you are pre-op'ing, have you tried SF Jello. I just felt like I wanted to "eat" something, with a SPOON. It really hit the spot. No calories, carbs, etc. (at least in the refrigerated little cups), just 45 mg sodium, so it made me kind of thirsty. FWIW.

[allnewme 262]

I have one Jello per day. I too like the chewiness of it. I really enjoy chicken broth, it is very comforting to me. I have been a grouch today!! Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

Glad you are getting some meds! I hope they work too so you get get some relief!!

[allnewme 262]

So glad that it is nothing worse. Right after surgery anything is bad so I hope the meds work and get you back to new! Thinking of you today ((HUGS)))

Hey guys! At the docs office and I have strep! I knew it was something bad. I'm waiting on my liquid meds now and can't wait to get better. Thank u all for being by my side

[StormWarning 194]

Glad to hear from you again Susie, and so sorry to hear you have strep. I can think of many things allot worse than strep. In about 2-3 days your throat will start feeling much better. did they give you a shot too?

I hope you have a speedy recovery and get feeling better very soon.

Thanks Jenn, no shot just liquid antibiotics . Can't wait for it to all go away... It hurts ;(

[StormWarning 194]

I can imagine. I have had strep twice in my life. One was so bad my throat actually bled.

Did you pick this up from your nephew when they were in? Thank god they gave you liquids. Those pills for strep are HUGE!! GO figure tho, medicines need to made over. Ailments like flu (no sore thraot) take a very tiny pill (tami-flu) and then strep, (sore, swollen throat) takes one of the biggest pills there is.

I know you will overcome this in a few days. Best wishes.

[TheNewSusie 471]

Not sure how I got it, but sure can't wait for it to go away, had it once before and it was terrible. Thank god I have no fever. I'm going to take me a nap, have a wonderful afternoon! Ttyl

So glad to know you are on the mend Susie. Thanks for letting us know the scoop. I'm sure you will feel like a new woman once those antibiotics kick in.
