First i want to wish everyone a Happy New Year and a big thank you to all for reading my blog.
Today i am feeling very well and happy to be writing once again on my blog i will be adding new pictures and some more articles that i found on the web hope you like it .
I also began a short vedio that i will be adding to this blog once its done wich you will find very helpfull but before i do this let me tell you what happened to me in the past few days that i haven't been able to write on my blog.
I recently went into hospital not due to my arthrogryposis but because i was very swollen all over my body i felt and locked like i was going to explode my apetite was gone for a couple of days and i had no clue to what was happening to me so i went in to emergency.
Once i arrived on the anbulance they took me to the magor treatment area,and this is the same hospital i been going for years where all my files are. As you may know in the emergency room there are diferent doctors all the time so you basicly have to repeat your problems everytime you sgo into hospital why you might ask ? i really dont't know what i can tell you is that with all this technology all the doctors have to do is to enter your hospital number on the computer and all your files are there but i don't mind but when you are in pain and look like your going to explode the last thing i want to do is talk.
After a few minutes of being in the emergency room and all the regular check ups that nurses do a student doctor came to see me and once again i had to repeat my self and explain what was worng with me i told him that i had Osteoathritis,Osteoreumatisim,MS, and then i told him i was born with Arthrogryposis and once the student doctor heard that word (Arthrogryposis) he started to think for a bit and than asked for me to repeat my self and so i did and than he asked what is that but with a strange look on his face thinking that i was crasy because he never heard of Arthrogryposis so i had to explain to him and i also told him about my blog witch he went and read.
After a while waiting in pain he came back and told me you have to stay in hospital for a couple of days to see what is causing you this pain and why you look so swollen and i said to him are you sure i have to stay in hospital ? and he said yes.
During my stay in hospital i started to think , is it because its Saturday and no Doctors are here to see me??? so the next morning my Specialist came up to the Ward were i was and the first thing i asked him was why did i have to stay in Hospital ? and he answered THE STUDENT DOCTOR WAS SCARED TO TOUCH YOU being that he saw your x-rays that are on file he didn't want to hurt you he said and then i understud why.
Going back to why i was so swollen and in pain i had an infection on my Intestin nothing to do with my illness all the student doctor had to do was an Ultrasound and give me some Antibiotics.
Just wanted to let you know about this situation so you know what people like me go trough.
I will write more very soon with some more information on Arthrogryposis
and some new pictures and once the short video that i am currently working on.
So see you soon...
