Happy Second Night of Hanukkah! And another weird but possibility

Woman Screaming and Crying in Frustration While Getting ...

I fell Friday in the wee hours of the morning, 4 A.M., ironically off of my purposely lowered bed about a week before the incident, rolled right off of it onto my hard ceramic tile over cement slab floor! 

And since my two feet got stuck under the metal portion and my hip hit the base of the hospital rolling table and received a very large contusion.

I iced it all day Friday and the swelling that I had shown here on my ankles had gone down to nearly normal although I had taken my water pill and it had helped! 

But the pain continued and so when Saturday my BIG BRUISE got larger on my hip Hubby took me to Fawcett Hospital 1.8 mi from home I was then x-rayed and CT, on my right side, but both ankles and my right hip were X-rayed, my head and neck were CT'd. I was informed that nothing was broken and suggested how to take care of soft tissue injuries 

And this morning I awoke apparently to a good night's sleep of 9 hours and three minutes and only 2.5 events per hour all courtesy of my CPAP, better than the night before of 1-hour sleep and 51 plus events in that hour! So when both legs, hands, and fingers were freezing!

I had contacted my pain doctor, Dr. Valente's, Office and left his nurse a message and she called back telling me to go back to the ER and get a CT of my lumbar region. I had also called Dr. Montoya's office my neurologist's also leaving her nurse a voice mail about the same thing it must have come in while at the hospital to make an appointment to see her tomorrow i.e. my neuro.

At the hospital when finally done with the lumbar CT I had been told that it was my nerves... Geez, I thought the tech was meaning I was nervous MS can confuse you like that too, but he meant my SPMS NERVES! He kept saying it since it took me a while to get it sadly... no editing with that! https://images.app.goo.gl/Q3QU21eR13eFZRcf6

So my next thought was of course where I always go... except or my history with CKD and subtle liver issues, but not even my cholesterol wasn't high anymore it was NORMAL! So now my mind went everywhere! 
I thought could it be Second Progressive Multiple Sclerosis with ACTIVITY, meaning active???

So now my next mental jaunt was over to other new meds so I can feel better. Trials have me aged out of them!
But everyone they had just finished when I was there last time, and most can have an effect on the kidneys or liver so I'm out!
Oh well...
My neurology doctor, Lillianna Montoya,  or her RNP Lynn will tell me tomorrow I suspect, so perhaps now that my blood work in November was called "picture perfect" by the nurse in Dr. Rogriguez's Office my internist I am hoping that will be positive criteria to get something for me to FEEL BETTER!
New to be approved on the market from the FDA, maybe, but by then I will already be seventy and that IS their age limit for most drugs being approved for use!

Maybe that can all change with an "I BELIEVE!" You're welcome Macy's! HA!

Even an elderly disabled Jewish woman living the minimalistic big life in southwest FLORIDA can hope for that!


Talk about having fun! We make our own!
Happy good night to all!

Count those blessings and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!



Take it, Bella!
I did this so I will be.



Aussie shut it down!
