Thanks for letting us know.  In my fever stupor the other day, I started wondering about several members--and Kathy and Len were first in mind.   We'll be here when she can come back   :cuddle;

 :cuddle; Thank all of you that actually missed me. I was changing Len's bandage when my daughter called this afternoon to tell me that okarol had called her. Bless her heart. Len is still not feeling well and I finally lost it  :boxing; I told our GP, Neph, transplant coordinator and transplant surgeon that they were going to find out what the hell was going on with my husband and we weren't leaving until they did. All the doctors decided to run a thyroid test to see if that is the problem. Len is not sleeping, is freezing cold all the time, losing weight and having terrible muscle aches. We are waiting for our favorite doctor to call us with the results which will probably be Thursday or Friday.  I hope this will give us some answers. Len had to have some growths removed that doctors were concerned about and I am changing bandages again.

Then there's me. All of you know that I have had a few bouts with vertigo and it is always in my left ear, well I woke up the other week with a pillowcase covered in blood. My kids decided for me that it was time to go see doctor only to find out that I have a ruptured eardrum, which by the way is very painful and now I can't hear worth a damn out of my ear. It has stopped bleeding but I am getting yucky dried blood out of it and it burns, if that makes sense. I told okarol "Golden years my ass".

There's also things going on with family, but I won't get into that here. It's just that everything gets throw at me at one time and I just lose it sometimes. Imagine that. I have some catching up to do I see. Thanks for your thoughts and I'll keep posting.  :cuddle;

At our house, when it rains, it pours.  It sounds like that's the way it is with you and Len, too. 

I've missed seeing you here, Kathy, and I'm glad you had the chance to update us.  Hang in there, girl.  Love to Len.

Sorry to hear w&w
Hopefully the doctors find out hat is going on with Len and that you feel better. I have no idea if a ruputured eardrum can heal to where you have hearing back, but hope that happens.
