My blog is finally working

Welcome back, everyone. I have been unable to get on my blog and I know many people have been having problems viewing this. Kara diagnosed the problem, the background on my blog was keeping the site from loading. I hope it's OK for everyone now. A quick update...I had my surgery on June 11th. Everything went well. Basically the esophagus is not working and the valve that should be at the bottom of the esophagus is worn away. This is due to the scleroderma, and helps to explain my difficulty eating and digestive problems. The surgery on my finger went well. I went to get the stitches out this morning. The Dr. said everything looked good and I started on my hand therapy this morning. My worst problems at this time are shortness of breath and pain. I go back to the nephrologist tomorrow. My magnesium & potassium levels were drawn on Monday and they look good. Hopefully, I can decrease or discontinue the supplements. As always, I thank everyone for the continued prayers & good wishes. I appreciate them so much, Linda
