    Sandy called yesterday and said that when I had spoken to her husband she wasn't feeling well, but her condition only got worse. She began experiencing numbness and pain in her arms and legs and just generally feeling terrible. After a trip to the Emergency Room(and no real answers) she flew home and went immediately to her local hospital. They admitted her and began testing. She said she is officially a "pincushion". LOL After discussing the possibility of a blood clot leading to stroke/paralysis, or sepsis, they determined she had cellulitis.. I gather it is an infection, painful, but cured with antibiotics. She spent a few days in the hospital and is home resting. It was a frightening experience, not having a diagnosis, and her symptoms mimicked some very serious conditions. In addition, she was diagnosed with pseudo-gout, an arthritic condition where crystals form in the joints. Evidently, this is a new diagnosis for her. She is unable to use her hand to type and asked me to forward this info along. I would say she is reading posts, though. I will call tomorrow to check on her and give you an update. Get well Sandy!
