eeeeeehhhhhhhh 
A newer friend..she's got Lupus - which she says hasn't been bad..........
BUT now she's got a Thyroid problem....they DON'T know yet Whether it's <sp> Hashimodo's disease- a sneaky to dectect by the usual thyroid tests, maybe something else, or thyroid cancer.
They've taken the fluid from the gland for testing ...2 weeks or less results.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
As for my Mom- 1) a puzzling problem of a few months, 2) ADD on a very upsetting change that was going to hapen at some point hapened late last week, PLUS #2 is exasperating a third long-time problem- is going on.
1) She had a "freak" occurance 27 yrs ago, an infection in her breast bone. Part had to be removed.
Now, in that same area it's been oozing, and nothing has stopped it so far. They're going to get her a bone-scan & density test.
For those who don't know/remember she has a untreatable [rotor-cuff muscles atrophied], dislocated shoulder [July].
She was to be transferred to a MORE medicalized floor in the Nursing Home complex of buildings.
She actually enjoyed a whole half-yr more where she was - although at times the attendednts had to help her alot more than they would usually have to continously in that pavillion. That was sometimes not a pleseant experience depanding on the aide.
SO she was finally moved late last week. But 3 weeks earlier her motorized chair was hauled away for repair. So she was prety striped of her abilty to go to most of her usual out-of- the-local TV area activiies and places.
My sis & I -- we don't know what she was expecting but it's hitting her hard. SHhe's now in the pavillion our dad was first in when he arrived [6 mons before her in April 2000].
He's gotten worse [a stroke- with severe short-term memory loss], and was moved to an even further medicalized pavillion.
She has to wait about a week more
for her to get the motor-chair back. Meanwhile she's "stuck" on a floor with people who are many worse off than she.
She already was [asked to be] moved to a room that at least currently doesn't have a roomate in it. SHe was getting upset with her new roomate who had a speech-slur that was too hard for her to understand.
The eating place looks [my sis's descprition, i haven't madfe it up there yet] more cafetria/instiutional. SIs hasn't described/maybe not seen yet the rest odf the floor yet.
Right now she's absolutely miserable.
ANd THAT has lead to a further increase in her on & off for years psoriasis - that practically has her in tears.
That might not seem SO bad, but for one thing-- HER mom went to the hospital decades ago for an internal itch that they couldn't seem to stop. and she died. The docotrs said......she shouldn't have died. SHe couldn't take it any more.
My mom still has for the most part a bright & interested in lots of stuff mind. Loves fun, beauty [nature/artistic and crafts] & scrabble. It's just that she can dress etc herself any more and her legs have become too weak for her to stand or walk more than a [very] few steps at this point.
We don't want her to "give up". We think she will be better once she gets her motor chair back and gets out of her pavillion for a good amount of time.
But on the otherhand she's NOW really scared to have surgery-- IF she should need it on her breastbone.
I'm NOT quite freaking out......but it's still only been 20 hours since I found out about all these NEW details.
SO prayers & good wishes/thoughts are needed.
**THANKS***

I have NO Idea whether that's an immediate results test, or a wait x days/week or 2 test.
- 2 new diferent requests 
sis & friends pay for, and then i pay them back over a long time], and other modest fun "luxuries". 
waters in ANYWHERE -- I picked Puerto Rico!
they are, aren't they? That is an awesome story, Dazz! I'm glad you're finally getting to go on vaca, and I hope you don't have bad news about your mom that will overshadow your fun getaway.
