She added that she had 2 falls, her hips are the issue, she is not hardly able to walk at all; pain in groin area; discogram showed her last disc was screwed; urinary tract infections; Pneumonia; Hepatitis C; and her back started giving her shit. Back surgery: Outcome: Doing good, but she had 2 falls after the surgery. She started seeing the PCP doctor for her back like in Aug2021. Then she was referred to several more doctors including her surgeon; who referred pain management doctor to do a discogram on her which showed her last disc was screwed. It took over a year but then the surgeon went in and replaced that disc during back surgery. Fall: 24Nov2022, she went to sit down on a chair and the chair slid out of from underneath her so she had a fall. She recovered from this fall pretty quick, but date is unknown. Fall: 19Dec2022 on her way to a doctor's appointment and was on the sidewalk with her walker and it tilted with her and she went down. She had to have someone get her up off the ground. They took her in to see if her hip was broken but her hip was not broken. They did the X-rays and bone scans and everything looked good. The X-rays and bone scan showed the fusion is still in place, everything still looks good relative to the back surgery. Outcome unknown other than she has not recovered from the second fall, seems like she has gone down because she fell on her left hip and it just seems like she's gone down since then, she really has not recovered from that fall. Her hips are the issue now, not hardly able to walk at all: Onset date unknown other than about a year ago or a little before a year ago started to notice this problem. Over the last year she has gone down from being able to walk on a walker to not hardly able to walk at all; but she had to use a walker. After back surgery she was still having pain in groin area. The surgeon said she needed to see orthopedic surgeon for her hip because of this event. She saw an orthopedic surgeon who said one of her hips is like bone on bone and the tendons in her legs are going to had to be like cut because she can't straighten her legs out straight. She just wants to be able to work in her garden and walk without a walker or wheelchair. Urinary tract infections: referred to as UTIs interchangeably by caller. She never used to have UTIs, but keeps having them with blood in her urine. Onset unknown, maybe the end of 2021 or in 2022.

She does not know how she got it; but it's either through a needle, and she didn't use needles or sexual and that didn't happen either so, she finally got in to see the hep C doctor in May2021 to start 3 months of treatments, but after her first month the Hepatitis was gone. When she initially got tested the Hepatitis C was at 125,000 whatever they are, she does not know how they measure that; but after the first month of treatment the Hepatitis C was not detected anymore. This happened all about same time her back started giving her shit. It's just been one thing after another.
