I know it's been a long time since I've been here but it's been hard trying to cope with feeling lousy about half the time and trying to work so that we are not always overdrawn. I can't get anywhere to work a 'real' job so I have found a position working on the internet which helps me a lot. I feel useful and make a few bucks.
But not to digress, lately I have been having major drainage from my hip. But it does not seem to make me any smaller and when this happens it is not just a dripping but like someone turned on a faucet. My husband felt that we ought to measure to know just how much I'm losing and a few minutes ago, I lost a little over two cups of yellowish fluid.
The doctor I had been going to has left the practice and I have not been able to find anyone to take me on. The county nursing service decided a few weeks ago that I did not need nursing so they discharged me and even though I cannot clean my house or get around enough to cook and do laundry etc., they also decided to discharge me from home help. So I now have no doctor, no nurse and no home health aid. I seem to have been cast adrift by the system and in the meantime, I am feeling bad more and more of the time. I just don't know what to do - nor do I know what this drainage means nor how bad it is for me or what to do about it.
My question is, has anyone here ever experienced major leakage and does anyone know what it means or what I can do about it. Any help greatly appreciated.
