I’m Back! ….. Sort of.

Well, what can I say? It’s been a while! What’s my excuse? *sigh* Where do I start? Well, first my Granny had shoulder surgery so I had to go take care of her and take her to physical therapy. Thank God that ended after 3 months. I don’t think I could handle helping her bathe her wrinkled old butt one more time! I love my Granny but that doesn’t mean I want to see her butt all lathered up. I mean, who want’s to see that, come on!

Next, I went on vacation with my husband’s entire family. We went to Disney World and had a BLAST. If you haven’t been there then go…NOW! If you have been then GO AGAIN! =] The only bad thing about Disney is the appalling cost of food. First off, every place sells the SAME THINGS! It’s sad that just to survive you have to pay $8.00 for 2 chicken strips and an extra small fry. That doesn’t even include a $2.50 small drink! Secondly, and this is the worst part, the Disney employees just smile while they take your life savings and give you these small rations in it’s place. It’s a small world, no, it’s a expensive world! Still, I would go again in a heart beat! =]

After the Disney World trip, my mother decides to add a little more stress in my life by getting sick and being admitted to the Hospital. She had to have surgery on her leg to remove 3 blood clots. Can you say G.R.O.S.S.? No big deal, right? Well, it wouldn’t have been but they decided to run another test on her and to do this they sprayed some numbing spray in her throat that almost killed her. NO JOKE! She has a major allergic reaction to the spray that they weren’t prepared for since it’s rare to be allergic to that stuff. So, for about 12 hours my mother looked like a big blue smurf. I thought you went to the Hospital for them to save your life, not kill you. Oh well! She is on the mend now. =]

Finally, I am having some health problems. Yep! I’ve got all sorts of things wrong with me. It all started back in July, *if you don’t want to hear about female troubles then stop reading here*. I started my period and I haven’t stopped yet. That’s right folks! I have been on a continuous period for a little over 7 months now. I went to my family doctor back in August and I have seen her many times since. I have tried 4 Depo shots (2 in one month), a week on Primarin, and birth control pills. Nothing has even slowed it down. The doctor finally referred me to a Coochie Doctor and he has been great. Thank god he’s a small man. You know, small hands. He did find a few things the last time I saw him.

1. I have a tilted cervix.
2. I have some major scar tissue on the outside of my cervix.
3. Something might be wrong with my ovaries since I am in intense pain in the area.
4. I have an infection in my uterus. He gave me some antibiotics so hopefully the infection is gone.

I got to see him again today. Woo Hoo. I was hopeing that he could tell me what the hell is wrong with me. Well, he didn’t. All he did was tell me that I have a heart murmor and then schedule me for a minor surgery for March 11th. They are going to stick a camera in my bellybutton and look around in there and also do a DNC. A DNC is basically a major cleaning. So, now I have 3 more weeks of pain to look forward to until I get cut on and cleaned out. Yippiee. I’m calling my doctor tomorrow and stocking up on pain pills. Now THAT I am actually excited about!

So, that’s the past 7 months of my life. How have you been?

P.S. If it weren’t for my pain pills I think I would have exploded by now. You’d be finding bits and pieces of me all over my monitor. That would take more than some canned air to clean up. =]
