Health issues

[Albatrass]

Just a note;  Having some platelet blood issues and will not be able to communicate with everyone as often.  Am doing fine but have to be extremely careful of getting cut or falling.  Lots of blood work and even had vials go out to labs around the country to come up with proper medicine.  I actually feel good, but resting a lot.  Looks like golf is out till next year.

Everyone Stay Safe and Take Care.

Sorry to hear that. Hope whatever medication they come up with leads to a speedy recovery.

Had my fourth platelet transfusion today after platelets dropped back to one.   Good news is they have a medicine that I will start taking that has remarkable results.  Thanks for the prayers.  Darrell

For all My
Golf Spy friends,  Got a 4th platelet transfusion toady after levels dropped back to one.  The Hematologist has put me on a medicine less than 200,000 patients use.  They said the results are remarkable.  Hopefully my levels will go back to near or above normal.  Thanks everyone for the thoughts and prayers.  Everyone Take Care.

Great news!  I'm as guilty as most at taking shots at our medical community (they have had their share less than stellar moments) but it's stories like yours that we must acknowledge as pretty dag-gum good.  Hope things continue to progress well for you.

Yes, that doesn't sound very good. These health problems can be very uncomfortable. This is an important part of life for me, so I always try to maintain my health at the proper level. Recently I started reading a lot about psychology and found various useful source . Psychotherapy helps many people in matters of mental health. I think that it would be useful for each of us to understand this topic.

Yes, it's too bad there is no one cure for all ills. Then life would be a lot easier.

I got covid in April 2020 and it affected everything, including my kidneys and liver, and so I also have issues of potential bleeding. It has taken me over a year, but I am almost back to normal, although I still get easily fatigued. I did go to the range a couple times recently and surprised the crap out of myself by hitting the ball really well. So, hang in there, take your meds, rehabilitate, and be patient. Best of luck!
