An Update

Blog Posted:10/11/2022 4:42:00 AM

Just a short update

I talked to our son yesterday and he seems okay. He got the pic line out about 2 weeks ago so the infectious disease doctor must think all the bacteria has cleared. He was supposed to go to the surgeon on Monday but the appointment had to be changed. He is still without feeling in the lower part of his body but accompanying that is sharp pains shooting first here then there. They have put him on magnesium and Vitamin D but it hasn't stopped the problem. One pill they had him on was priced at $300 for the prescription so he could not get that and I don't know what he intends to do about it. I/we and him still need your prayers so don't forget to say a little prayer for us when you think of me or read a poem of mine or are riding down the road say a prayer.

I haven't reported to you about my problem/s since having COVID, but for a year following COVID I just could not get over the symptoms of the illness. I finally went to a different doctor. He is a gastroenterologist but I saw his PA. She said that she would do blood work and a few test. She found that I have a thyroid problem and I had to go to a different doctor to get that checked out. Anyway, I am on medication for that now. I did some research on the internet and found that about 29% of people end up with thyroid problems after having COVID no matter the degree of the illness that they have. My family doctor kept telling me you should be over COVID and your problem is not from the COVID. I am glad that the problem has been found and that I am getting the medicine now. My energy has returned but, alas, I am older so that is a hindrance. During all of this God has not failed me nor let me fall. His strong arm has supported me all the way.

Thank you,

Sara

Hello Sara, oh this is good news. I am glad you are meds for the thyroid problem and is on meds. Glad you are feeling better. Hugs.

Thank you for the updates on yourself and on your son, Sara. We all need to rely on our God of Love. He alone can heal us. Your faith is an inspiration, my dear friend. I'll continue to pray for you and your son, and also for all those close to you during this time of illness. I pray regularly for the situation our country is in, again knowing only God can save us, we need to turn to Him. Bless you my friend, Bill

Bill, I agree with you that our country has major problems and not only our country but the world as a whole. It is a sad state of affairs that we are in right now. I am doing better since I have been on the medication for my thyroid. Still not as good as I would hope but much better. Age and other problems are not in my favor or control. Only God is in control. I appreciate the visit, uplifting remarks and your prayers. Sara

Sara, keeping you in my thoughts and prayers and hope for a for a full recovery for both of you soon!

Tania, I heard from him yesterday and he is having back pain but in a different place from where he had surgery. Of course, a good bit of fear comes with that now since he had that MRSA abscess in his upper spine t5 to t9. He fell for a large number of times when that was going on and he could have herniated another disc or have a fracture even. He has to make his own decision about his care though I cannot do that for him or make him. Sara

Hello Sara, you will be in my prayers. Too bad, a pill that can help your son heal has to have a heavy price tag on it. Take care. Hugs.

Sara Kendrick
Date: 10/14/2022 9:02:00 AM

Darlene,He might be able to get it at a lower price through the VA but he will have to see his primary care provider to get her to prescribe it or something similar. Thanks for the visit. Aren't most all meds high now. Sara

Hi Sara - I'm pleased that your doctor has managed to help you and that your energy has returned. I know someone whose lack of energy and always feeling cold was down to her thyroid problem. Good luck to your son too. I hope all turns out well for him. Cheers - Gary

Sara Kendrick
Date: 10/14/2022 8:57:00 AM

Gary, It is the strangest thing though I really am hot natured and did not have that cold feeling like some people get. I haven't heard from my son since Monday. I will try to call him today and if I don't get an answer, I will go by there. Sara

Sara Kendrick
Date: 10/11/2022 10:26:00 AM

Milton, I imagine there are so many out there that are stuck with problems following COVID but they don't know that what is happening to them is related to the horrible virus someone turned loose on our world. Thanks for the speedy recovery wishes. Sara
