Got my new surgery date
I know this is goatie info but hoped you all would just say a quick prayer that this time it goes through. I am now scheduled for hip replacement on June 14th at Dartmouth. I now have to get through the next couple of weeks without any infections, illnesses, or injuries.
I saw my Rheumotologist today and looks like my B cells are still non existent and my immunoglobulin is less than half of what it should be. Now without confusing everyone, I am on a drug that is supposed to do that, but that is now causing me to catch every single bug in the world. Normally we wouldn't bother about that because we are trying to supress my immune system. but because I had the strep pneumonia in my blood and the staph in my lungs, my doc is afraid of me getting anything like that again before or right after the surgery. So looks like I may be getting an infusion of immunoglobulin cells in the next week.
thanks for all the support and prayers. They really do mean a lot to me. God bless. Lynn:
