Health - 5 November 2006

My mother's foot is turning purple and almost black.. It's been that way for maybe over amonth now, and she's been to the Dr about it, but they keep dragging *** to get back to her with answers.. She did finally call and ask what she should be doing or if there was anything special that she should look out for (The Dr gave her a test then scheduled her to come back at the end of next month, what an asshole!!) Anyway, the nurse asked if her foot was still purple, ofcourse it was, it's not going to go away overnight!! So they told her to come in, ran some more tests then told her to come in the following week for the results. Oh but the Dr isn't there and there's no way the nurses can release the test results to her!! Can you believe that!! So my question is, has anyone else experienced this before, and don't you think they should... oh, I don't know be a little concerned, or at least do their job!! Sorry, I'm a little angry and frustrated.. So anything would be helpful..

My daughter has been a little delayed in saying her L's, V's, and Th's. I mentioned it to her Kindergarten teacher, and the speech therapist there said to check again in the middle of the first grade. That's where she's at right now so the timing is about right.

On her last visit to the dentist he said that she was thrusting her tongue when swallowing, and put an apparatus in her mouth to help to avoid having braces later. It seems to have made her speech pattern worse having that in her mouth.

When I research on the 'net it seems that this problem normally affects S's and Z's, which she has no apparent problem with.

In your opinion are the two related? My concern is this is not going to correct itself without therapy to go along with the device, but maybe I'm wrong.

A relative told my husband and I to check out a surgery called "lower lumber L5 Gild" surgery. My husband has already had two surgeries to repair a disc and and is now scheduled for a third one on the same (L5-S1) disc in a few weeks. We don't want to go through this again and again. If anyone knows any resources or information where we can learn more about this new procedure to end my husband's leg and back pain, please let us know. Thank you. Tammie

I wanted to avoid surgery and maybe use a more natural method to prevent from my hands sweating excessively. It's embarrassing especially in a interview.
