So I haven't posted in a year. Gosh its been a year too! To start with after my transplant I ended up back in the hospital for a week with a UTI and was on antibiotics. It was resistant to all but one antibiotic thus the hospital stay. I got a picc line (Iv in my chest). I had the picc line another week and toted an IV with me everywhere. I left the Sunday after they took it out to head to the beach. I stayed in the condo for the most part. Since I have no immune system anymore and meds can cause Melanoma with sun exposure. I went to the beach one day. Covered in 100 SPF lotion. LOL Didn't swim at all. Ate good food. All was well.

Went back to work when we got home. Worked two jobs until recently. I left one because of the drama. Now I work on M,W,F. It keeps my mind busy.

About December, started having falls. I have bad ankles, arthritic knee and now my back has slipped herniated discs in 3 places. I fell 3 times on concrete. Probably 6-7 times at home. Went to ER. They never x-rayed my back because my complaint was hip pain. They said nothing broken.

Started walking with a borrowed walker because a cane didn't help. Had MRI done on both lumbar and thoracic spine. My doctor ordered an epidural. It helped for a week. I saw a neurosurgeon two weeks ago. He said I need surgery in two places. Zhe didn't want to do it because my transplant was so new. So he ordered an emergency consult with the hospital I had transplant done. Yet to hear from them. I see my transplant team tomorrow. I plan to ask them to intervene. Still working albeit on a walker. Not the best situation.

Anyway hope to post more regularly. Hope all is well!
I used to post fairly regularly in LJ but just haven't here. I'm going to try to change that. I'm growing weary of FB and IG. I guess it's a sign of my age.
So since the last two entries this year, 1. I have not one but two part time jobs. I dont want to work 8 hrs in one place I need flexibility with all my Dr appts. I have to see my kidney transplant team once a month, Labs every two weeks, this just changed. It was weekly, I have a dentist early next month. Dermatologist (because I can develop melanoma due to the immunosuppressants I'm on. I get my mammogram and bone density scans next week. So I need to be flexible.
I work for two very diverse practices. One job is a Primary Care and Weight Loss Clinic. Four Providers seeing about 500 patients a week. I'm doing Credentialing for the doctors. You have to Credential a doctor with all their documentation so you can participate in each insurance company. You have to update them regularly. Its challenging but I am paid well. They love me. I also take care of all records coming and going from the practice. It's a 6 inch stack every morning and afternoon.
Second job is with two family practice doctors. They are married. Beg me to go full time. I'm not the last bit interested. I like to come and go at will. I only do billing for them. He has hospital call every three weeks. He gives me about 100 charges the patients plus his daily charges. I love it though. Im on the 7th floor of a building close to the hospital. The roof is above me and he and I run to my window to watch the Helicopters come and go with Life Flight. I always think they will run into my window but they land with a little dust. :)'
Well this got long but Im going to try to update regularly.
