Hey everyone, I haven't been on in quite a while due to lots of medical things going on with me.
So I figured I would explain why I all of a sudden disappeared. I suffered from an upper respiratory virus and an infection in my intestines. I also ended up getting blood work done after I had passed out. I suffer from iron deficiency anemia so I figured my anemia had just gotten worse which was why I had passed out as thats been the reason for it in the past. Well my anemia did get worse which is no big deal I just need to take a stronger iron supplement. I also found out I have kidney failure early stages of it now so they said theres a chance it could reverse itself but most likely a transplant will be done along with treatment when the time comes. Then last month I had sprained my left wrist and was in a splint for a week and a half. Sprain has healed but I now have a cyst in between my ligaments and joints in my left wrist hand area. I went to physical therapy 2-3 times a week for the last month to try and remove the pain caused by the cyst. If therapy doesn't work they will try a steroid shot and if that doesn't work they will remove the cyst with surgery. So far though it has been working, there is still some pain so I'm not sure if my chiropractor will send me back to therapy or not. I will be seeing the chiropractor on Wednesday. I also recently recovered from a UTI and got more blood work and stool work done because since September I have been having on and off non stop diarrhea. Blood work came back with no answers so were waiting on the stool work to come back.

So that is why I have been gone for so long. I will do an update on the pets soon so you can all see how their doing.

It is not fun at all. I blame my weak immune system. I'm terrified of the doctors office and needles as it is so that doesn't help at all. Keeping my fingers crossed nothing else happens! Thank you! I will keep you and everyone else updated.

Well I went back to the chiropractor today. He said we will try therapy for one more month as I have been improving with it. If I'm still in pain from the cyst then I will need surgery to remove the cyst.
