Update on mom

I'm not sure if this is allowed, but I just wanted to let my MLP friends know of my whereabouts. I'm sorry I haven't been around on the forums. I've had a lot to deal with from work to going back and forth with mom's doctor's appointments.

 

Tomorrow she has another Rheumatologist apointment, the next day she has anappointment with her Cardiologist. It has been a big headache for me because my mother's Potassium levels were dangerously low, so the Rheumatologist told her to stop drinking her diuretic. The problem with that is she is also drinking Prednisone, which makes her swell up like a balloon and retain lots of liquid in her body. She cannot stop talking Prednisone because it is the medication she takes for her autoimmune disease, Polymyositis (doctor is trying to say it's not that but another thing from the Myositis family... but honestly, I'm no doctor, I just read stuff online to keep up to date with my mother's condition. It it seriously overwhelming.).

 

The last week was horrid because she stopped taking the diuretic (because apparently she was eliminating the Potassium whenever she would use the bathroom) but then she became so swollen she couldn't move. She couldn't even walk.

 

She went to her primary doctor and said to continue drinking the diuretic until she saw her Cardiologist... Thing is we couldn't get an appointment sooner that this Tuesday because the doctor was on vacation. So yeah, sorry for the long-winded entry.

 

It is not pony related, I'm sorry... I just wanted to keep all my friends updated.

 

I'm going to go cook now, so mom can have something to eat.

Take care every pony~♪

 

P.S I have more pony sketches I will post at a later time! Love you all!

No worries, blogs don't have to be pony related. 

 

I'm sorry that your mom is going through medical difficulties. I hope that she will be okay. :)
