Friday eve...
Busy day. Angela has been up and about, more clarity today than the past week. Stronger, venturing away from her walker more often. Still shy of her norm by about 35%.

Her Doc has called her a couple of times today (big deal I suppose, considering he's a professor and head Lupus dude). He's labeled her as his "most complicated patient".
Wonderful...obviously he's concerned.

She's scheduled for a brain scan (MRI). At least they'll get some readings with her cerebral mass. If I had mine done they'd end up with a dot to dot paint by number schematic ...at least a few scribbles would show some activity...

Angela's on about 20 different medications. I've been charting her intake this past week; trying to see the correlation between dose, time and heart rate. I just want to make sure the present scripts aren't doing her in. Most of her medical issues are pharmaceutically related as it is... ...granted, without them she wouldn't be here...She's alive and working it though. Sometimes I think she's here more for everyone else than herself... It's amazing, the pharmaceutical companies are getting rich from a protocol that is over 30 years old...where's the advancement of medicine??? Oh ya...Viagra.
Okay...I'm a little miffed and it's coming out in my posts...I'll chill.

Check out the x-ray. I tease her telling her that I'm going to cash her in for scrap metal... I'll keep her around though, by the time she gets her shoulder and knees done, the metals market should be up... Ok, twisted humor, I know; it makes her laugh though...

I better call it quits...
