NEW MEDICAL REPORT & ETC....
By OLIVENE GODFREY
The report of my recent x-rays revealed that I have a lot of osteoarthritis in my hips, knees and spine. There was no sign of damage that could have resulted from the falls I had a awhile back. The doctor's nurse talked to me about the severe pain I have been having in my knees and right hip. I will continue taking the arthritis medicine my doctor prescribed for me. But,
I will see a specialist soon about having some injections for my arthritis pain.

Then, I will see my family doctor in a few weeks for a complete blood count and re-check for my anemia. I am still taking iron pills and hope I won't need them much longer. I am hoping and praying all of this will bring about the miracle I wrote about last week.

Last week, we had an inch of rain which was welcomed by all of us in the serious drought in most of Georgia. But, the weather experts tell us we need a lot more rain to get our water table back to normal.

Son Barry had a dental appointment last week. The dentist told Barrry his last remaining wisdom tooth needed to be removed as soon as possible. So, Barry will have that done the last of this month. He is blessed by still having all of his teeth except for the wisdom teeth that were previously removed and the one left.

The November, 2007, issue of Consumers Report On Health reports that some men who keep their wallet in their back pocket may have low back pain by throwing the spine out of alignment and exerting pressure against the back muscles. Barry and I found this interesting as he can't drive his car or pickup truck with his wallet in his back pocket as he says it is painful.

Have a happy Thanksgiving weekend!

See you next time.
