Health report for 11/24

Thanks again all for care, concern, well wishes and prayers.

Perhaps a note of interest to the halt and lame around here who are forumites and within driving distance.

St. John's hospital in nearby Joplin, MO (45 minutes drive)where I'm getting tested and treated in their clinic next door was recently rated among the top 25 hospitals in the US by the no nonsense publication, Money Magazine, and I can see why. Equipment is latest and greatest. All facilities (labs, imaging, etc.) are on site within a few steps of one another. And staffers seem to be top notch.

The urology and cardiology group I found seem to be tops.

I'm impressed and pleased with the quality of care. Sad to say it is considerably better than Reno where I was getting five different opinions from five different people and running all over town from clinic to imaging facility to lab where nobody seemed to care a whole hell of a lot.

But seeing is believing. Can they cure the infection? Time will tell. Will my urolgist (experienced laparascopic surgeon) be able to remove only complex cyst and save kidney? Again, time will tell. I'm hoping the cardiologist has nothing to do except talk and charge money. One more time, time will tell.

Stay tuned.
 
It's always good to have folks in the medical profession that seem to know what they're doing. Maybe I'll head return this Home Lobotomy kit and head on down to Joplin instead. :) I have a feeling that the drill bits included in the kit are too small anyways. :rolleyes:
 
God Bless. Glad you are getting good treatment from that Hospital.

I'm not a doctor but I know from experience with a relative that was in a similar situation as yourself, you must get proper nutrition! You will get malnourished and the healing process is hindered even further. It is a downward spiral.

If all else fails, try drinking "Ensure" or "Boost" or some similar meal drink to be sure you get the nutrients you need. It is very important!

Thinking of you.

I'm on a power drink from health food store called musLblast. It's pretty potent stuff but my nephew, Travis, who is on a power lifting binge and has upped from 160 to 215 (28 inch thighs) has turned me on to something even more potent which I'll try next go round.
 
I'm really glad to hear you like this hospital better. Your trust and confidence in your doctors is at least half the battle. Of course, you trust most of us enough to send goods before recieving payment, so maybe your judgement's a little off... :D ;) :p . Just kidding, that really is excellent news and I'm hoping to hear more of it in the near future. Keep up the good fight.

That stuff will probably hold you together pretty good, Bill.

The main ingredient is calcium caseinate which has been used for years as traditional wood glue.

It's also added to plaster to preserve and strengthen it especially on plaster surfaces used for fresco and mural painting.

Be sure to drink lots of Hienekens so your insides don't stick together.

Thanks, Rusty. I needed a good AM chuckle.

Maybe the musl stuff is why I've been feeling so sticky.
