Forum talk:Get Well Soon!

Last year, on January 27th, 2009 I had a (benign) tumor removed from my ankle. It was very big and I currently have two in each knee. I see an orthopedic oncologist regularly to monitor the knee tumors. Because of the large quantities of narcotic pain killers (darvocet, vicodin) which, as you know slow down breathing and I have a severe case of asthma made me get a respiratory infection and I ended up staying on the PEDS floor for two days. I discontinued the pain meds, replacing it with tylenol. I have had LOTS of ER asthma related visits because of my susceptibility to infection. Also, my celiac has been a true pain in the butt lately. I have not been to the ER since 8-1-09 (knock on wood), so now whatever respiratory and allergy issues I have, I go to the doctor's office and take my oxygen and medication loaded breathing treatments at home.
