Hi guys. Just wanted to let you know I am alive just no longer have a computer. The tooth infection was a long saga and was told I could lose ALL MY TEETH. I got totally off prednisone because it is bad for your teeth and I need to get my gums fixed from receding as they make me more likely for tooth infections. So starting the battle for insurance to cover it as it is considered cosmetic but not in my case so we have to fight it is for medical reasons. My ulcer has been a real problem. I can barely eat so a surgery is likely. Waiting for after the holidays. Difficult to type today so HAPPY HOLIDAYS ALL AND BEST WISHES FOR THE NEW YEAR. ROXYHey Roxy. nice to see you on the board again.  Sorry about your computer, but more sorry about your teeth and ulcer.  May the New Year be very kind to you and Kelsey.   Hi Rox!  It's me, Pam

 
  I'm so sorry that your teeth are giving you such trouble.
 
Good luck with the insurance.
 
I like GG wish good things for you for the New Year ahead:)
 
 
 
 
Hi Roxy,
Hope you feel better soon, Happy Holidays!!
Sounds like you are getting to the bottom of things. At least you have a good idea of what is going on. I know different day different problems it always seems. Get well soon.lots of problems medically... of which I am terribly sorry to hear about... I wish you the best w/ your teeth, roxySorry to hear you have more troubles on you Roxy. I hope you and your family had a nice Christmas and wish nothing but good things for you in 2009.
 
Take Care,
Lovie
What  very sweet responses..  Thank you ALL.  Guess what.  I got a notebook for Christmas   I never expected such a wonderful gift.  My family has done so much for me, I expected Kelsey to get presents because she is still like a kid but I was shocked when they gave me  a present and WAY shocked when it was a computer.  I have to get used to it because the keyboard is so small and my big, clunky RA hands do not want to fit on it but I felt so out of touch without a computer.  It is also cool because it is small enough that I can have my pups on my lap with the computer.
 
My family is really amazing.  They did a complete 360 on the freeway to drive down to get us for Christmas.  HOW SCARY.  But they refused us not coming.  My stepson was with them.  I live on top of a hill and the driveway and stairs were thick with ice.  We have about 9" of snow.  They said if they had to put me on my butt and slide me down the driveway I was coming.  LOL  Anyway, they ended up shoveling the stairs, it was very scary but my brother held me on one side and my son the other side and they got me down.  I am so glad I went, it was good to see so much family.
 
I am trying to psyche myself up to go to hospital.  My doctor just cancelled my appt. and can't get me in until late Jan.  About 2 weeks ago I threw up a mouth full of vomit and blood while I was sleeping and I knew my ulcer was serious.  Also, I cannot eat more than 5 bites maximum of food or I throw up and it has to be very bland.  I have been eating like one yogart a day for a couple months and I do not lose weight.  I have had two tumors before RA so I either think it is a tumor or my ulcer but I spent so much time in the hospital with my teeth I have been very resistent to going back to hospital.  I know I am going to have to have surgery which scares me a lot.  I know it is irrational but I take so many strong narcotics, I smoke, I am afraid I will not wake up.  I worry about my daughter, pets, the money I owe my brother to help me buy the house.............................
 
Anyway, way too much about my ills.  I do not talk to anyone except my aide and sometimes my husband so I guess I am just dumping.  I am loving having my stepson (as far as we are concerned, he is my son).  He is staying for a week.  Lots of scary movies LOL. 
 
OK  Off to read your posts.  Hopefully AI is bringing Peace to the site and in your lives.  I am so blessed to have such a loving family and the best pets in the whole world LOL
Roxy,  So sorry you have been going through so much.  You certainly have a good attitude.  Will keep you in my prayers and hope that the new year will bring you much improved health! Hi Roxy, nice to see you posting, I have missed you, so sorry to hear whats going on though, but you are a tough bird and will come through with flying colours, don't underestimate your will and strength, love always Janie.
