My PHOTOGRAPHY might be ...........................

Hello friends, Some of you know and some dont...i posted in some threads but it got lost...

Unfortunately My Photography adventures Might be put on back burner for a while...

I fell in my Motorhome few days ago ...I had a blackout...Was rushed to ER and released same day....Was diagnosed with ANEMIA

I was told NOT to drive....Seeing doctor on Monday .....It was suggested i might have to have BLOOD TRANSFUSION....My leucocite (white blood sells) are over 18,000

My red cells (erutrocite) are 2,800.000 millions

Meaning not good...

Recently i have placed lots of MOTH BALLS in my Motorhome as a precaution for insects...cause i dont like anything crawling ...and i do it every year diff stuff...However NAPHTALYNE is posion and that might be what caused blackout...I might have blood posion

Things are not looking promissing for me..at this time..and PHOTOGRAPHY has to be put on back burner.....untill all tests come back..On monday i will know..

Okay wish me luck

Hope all goes well with the doctor, and blood posioning is not a good thing.

Guess you might have to find a different remedy for your creepy crawling creatures.

Thank you guys

Deno,RQ,Denny,Minerva,

U know me I am fighter, I will survive it... Appreciated you all..

Not sure yet if Mothballs caused this or cause this might be just co-incident...

I was born with anemia..and as a kid my mom battled this issue..

But i grew up..and never had a problem or was anaware i do..

I cut eating meat and went back to vegeterian diet...so i dont know if that has anything to do with it yet..

Will know more on Monday after all results are in..

I am devastated..to even think that i have to take other route in my life for a while...

Hope the Good Lord is on my site..

Minerva got the email Thank u much :)) u take care be safe and have a wonderful trip :))

Take care all

I remember as a kid, my Mom always put moth balls in all our closets in house. Maybe that is why I am the way I am. LOL! They are quite potent. Get well B!

Take Care Bianca and make sure they test you well. High white leukocytes can be signs of fighting a big infection or leukemia (as well as some other things), so make sure they check out the latter for you.. usually being anemic you will have lower blood counts.

High Red erythrocytes can be as simple of being in a high altitude which you have been in Utah areas of the canyonlands etc.. Anyway listen to your doctors and make sure they test you well and wishing you the best and that this is something benign.. stay away from the moth balls.. Best Wishes to you.

Yes Denny

My mom did that too...I did it in my large house in Florida as well..However i miscalculated amount..and i placed whole box all over Motorhome..When it started to give me headache it was time for me to pick up most of the balls..

After that i had a black out..

Thanks i think i be okay

My problem is i dont beleive in medication..I will take every advice as far as food goes and what to eat to stabilize my red cells...

But for white cells its not food..its neccessary medical attention..And not being sick ever...and even now i feel okay...I kind a am stubborn and dont wish to folow medications..

But i might have to this time..Thanks Gary

Minerva,

I remember my mom feeding me bloody liver for anemia...grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr yuck...

And horse meat ....grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

That is all back in Europe...but i did overcome...

What cause all of this i dont know...And for Anemia...is good to be at high elevation for red cells..It also pumps iron...

I dont know..I am confused at this point..Will update after monday and let u know..

Bianca, hope you recover quickly! Vitamins D and E will strengthing your immune system and that is about all I know! We can talk about National Health Care when you get well! take care.

Jerry

Oh yes i beleive more in vitamins then prescription drugs..I am not sold on doctors killing people..

Was married to two doctors...My late husband beleived in alternative medicine....but we still disagreed on prescription drugs..

As for health care LOL...okay u made me laugh..

I feel alright but they say i am not..LOL

I am devastated my camera came from Nikon repair and now i am eager to go..and i am not allowed to drive..Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Maybe i can sneak...out..LOL

I hope this is just temporarely and not something i have to deal for rest of my life

Thanks Jerry

Laughing is always the best medicine! Two Doctors? Do you have a slow learning curve? They call them practitioners for a reason, you know! Before this cancer thing that I have I had been to a doctor maybe three times in my life! I really hate doctors. It is the only job in the world, with the possible exception of bankers, that get paid when they fail!!! If I put a new roof on your house and it leaked you wouldn't pay me, would you? I am very lucky that I have been exceptionally healthy all my life! and lucky again that I have health insurance for what I have now! Someone is getting rich off me! Get well quick, Bianca, I want to see more of your wonderful photos!

LOL Jerry

This made me stomach hurt.... yeah i didnt know better LOL

However my late husband was my best friend..I would never find a friend as he was...

He was a doctor but he was a good one...

Still bad news as i dont like transfusion Cause i dont know whos blood i am getting..

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I rather go for treatements...

Sad but true i am stilll confined home..no driving allowed or as he says minimal to null...

I feel like in jail..

jerry carlin 22 Mar 2010

I hope you will feel better soon, Bianca! So, if you are confined, could you post some interesting photos taken within 50' of your home? That is always an interesting challenge! Hope you are up to it!

APHOTO4YOU 22 Mar 2010

Hehhehehhehe Jerry...

I have so many images to last me till end of my life..I can always post new one :))) without taking anything new..LOL

My problem is i wanna get way up north before heat...This is setting me back..

All i have to do is say the heck with doctors i am going..and u know i am not kidding..

But i am waiting to see where is this going..

My end result is : i am going..

You know i am stubborn..lol

Thanks Jerry for wishes.. Ill be back rocking

Hahhahhahah,

I never liked doctors and their views into medicine...And my late husband was a good doctor...he always said "Doctors kill people with prescriptions more then people get killed on hwy"

And boy he was right..
