Doctors, Doctors and more Doctors

Seems like the whole summer has been waiting in Doctor's waiting rooms. Of course I've yet to meet a doctor that runs on time. My last castastrophy was being bit by a Scorpion, just below my right Patella (7/2/08). I endured a whole month of a bloated right leg, antibiotics at first all IV then oral and changed each and every antibiotic each week. My leg was a big as an Elephant. They called it Celluliotis- just to put a name on it. So I had to mix all my drugs each day with Antibiotics. It took 5 almost 6 weeks until my knee could be touched w/o pain and was not hot do to the infection. Today is 42nd today since the Scorpion bit and my right knee is almost the same same as my left knee. Hence no work outs in July. I'm afraid to weigh myself because the depakote creates an awful taste in your mouth and you feed it with food. What do I weigh? God, I'm afraid to find out. Prior to Scorpion bit and changing to depakote at The Mayo Clinic -I was 177lbs. Still see my 3 or 4th post wouldn't it be nice to have one doctor incharge of my case. At least now I say "Well The Mayo Clinic said to do this..." it's working so far. But I fear I need to go back to Mayo for a follow up. Can't life be simple? I'm still sleeping too long and not ready for work. I concentrate on the wrong things and tend to focus on things that are not important. Is that a side effect? I'm ready for any advice.

Back on Land- Doing the Best I can......

Okay back from Mayo Clinic of Mood Disorder and Sleep Disorder. It would be nice to have a Medical Community like MAYO (latest survey puts John Hopkins first, Mayo 2nd and then UCLA Med Center-3rd). where every doctor is on stanbdby. Every piece of equipment is ready and available. When I need a Cat Scan or a MRI - it was okay - in twenty minutes a transport nurse will be here to get you down stairs for the Cat scan or MIR- no waiting. No tee off times for doctors, no other surgery or excuses got in your way. THE PATIENT WAS ACTUALLY #1. How refreshing. Not like telling me well we can get you a cat scan in 2 weeks ago across town etc. Their Diagnosis team was simple and complete. Why, when and who determined that. So I now comletely changed for a while. 1250mg depakote plus 50 mg at night and 750mg of depacote in the AM plus my Benicar/Lotill cocktail for Heart Pressure Medicine.....then they want me to take 25mg of Seroquel 2x per day. But I'm falling asleep already. Resisting that last 50 mg of Seraquel. Still taking Chineese Herbs for jundance. But making little headway there. Dozing off alot. Maybe soemone could give me some sound advice. I have a full body Slepp Study coming up this month-should be fun. But need to find 0ut where good men of Austin buy their clothes.
