Did I mention about the BURN in my foot!!!???

I keep getting this BURNING feeling in my Left Foot, and it has been going on for yrs. on & off.
I know that it means that Sarky has "made itself comfortable" in that area....and it must really like that spot, because as I said.....it keeps coming back.

It feels as if someone is lighting a match on my foot for a hot sec. and then I am feeling the 'aftermath' from it.
It also feels like there are tiny little spots being pricked at with a Very Fine needle.

And the funny thing is, it is not in an area that touches the floor/ground....it is around the arch of my foot and because I am not Flat Footed, it doesn't touch a flat surface at all.


By time I reach my doctors....I guarantee, the feeling will be gone.....it always happens that way (rolling of the eyes)....Or if it is still there, and the doctor orders me to have it "checked out"....by time I get the procedure done, the symptoms would have left me again.......OH I HATE WHEN THAT HAPPENS!!!

Knees

Another thing to put in my "journal" is Knee Problems.

I have had this ongoing problem with my left knee, since I don't know when.....in comes and goes, and back in 2003.....it actually lasted about 9 Months of that year, I kid you not.

What goes on with it is this; I have pain, not the normal pain though....very painful pain....the kind of pain that the Pain Meds. don't take it away.
And it gives out on me a lot....at any given moment too.
I could be holding one of the Grands and Wham....there it goes.
I try not to have carry them too much, and the fact that they can walk now....helps a lot.

If I turn my leg too far to the left.....I will be in soo much pain and I will lose my balance also.
If I lift it too far up (which is not far at all)....It will let me know that I've gone to far.
If I stand up straight and accidentally push them back too far....oh boy, that will be it for me!!!

As I said, this has been an on going thing with me....and I had in the past, an MRI on that leg/knee and the only thing that it showed was that there is a lot of Arthritis going on in there....WELL I COULD HAVE TO THEM THAT.
It scares me some times because I don't know when it will give out on me and the next thing I know I am on the Floor, Or worse......the Ground.

I noticed that it is much bigger than the Right one also.

Oh Well....let me get to writing, so I don't forget what CHANGES I've gone through and I can report them to the doctor next Month.

Right hand....Ring finger!!!

For the past few days, this finger had been in soo much pain....I can barely bend it.

I know that is it part of the Arthritis and all, and there is basically nothing I can do about it.
It is soo swelled up that it feels like I sprained it Or something.....Ouchhh!!!!

As I touch the knuckle, I can feel the swelling...funny thing is, that is the only finger that feels like that...I mean, the others hurt as well (the normal aches & pains that happen EVERYDAY)....but this pain is different....the whole finger looks swelled up.

I guess I need to mark this one down in the ole' "Journal" so that I can have it documented at the doctors next Month.


Oh well......"in the Life of a Sarky Sufferer".
You never know what to expect......

What would We do without.....Medical Insurance!!!

I am soooo Grateful to ALLAH/GOD (swt) for Blessing My husband with a JOB for One....and GOOD Health Insurance for Two.
Oh....and Good Health for My Husband so that he can go to work each day....to be able to Keep this Health Insurance.

I don't know what I would do if I did not have Health Insurance....I would be totally screwed I know THAT for sure.


Thank You Teresa for reminding Me (in an indirect way, lol)...about the Health Insurance.....and being Grateful for it.
I had meant to post something about it for a while now, but kept forgetting to.

Again....Thanks!!!

I think I may be Retaining Water

I am not sure, but I think I am Retaining Water.
That, Or I am swelling up from Sarky.
Either way, it is not a good thing.

Something else for me to bring up to my doctors.


My legs feel real tight, from my calf....down to my ankles.
Now I almost ALWAYS have swollen Feet & Ankles...but it is rare for my Legs to be as tight as they are.

A way that I can tell if they ARE Retaining Water....is to press my fingers into my Legs.....if when I pull them back and it shows my finger prints, then I am Retaining Water.

Usually if I put my legs up, this will bring down the swelling....but if they don't go down after that, then I will give the doctors a call.


InshaAllah (GOD Willing) it is not anything serious.......
