Surgery photos!

I’m putting them under a cut, because I know not everyone wants to look at them, but I find them ridiculously fascinating, and I know there are family members and friends who’ve been wanting to see them, so here you go!

There is little to no blood in any of these.  They’re just…organs and scar [...]

Hectare of trouble. And surgery announcements.

I don’t even know where to begin on the past several days.  I should note that my mother broke a vertebra in her lumbar spine, so the bad luck hasn’t just been hanging around my door.  (She’s okay, BTW – just needs to rest so it can mend, but she’s getting a bone scan Monday, [...]

So, so, so close.

You guys, I’m $110 away from my base goal that would allow me enough “extra” money to get my uber-Lyme test (which is $800, all-told).  That’s taking into account the PayPal “tax,” too.

Frankly, I’m shocked that I’m that close, but considering I have a certain self-proclaimed “annoying little sister” spreading the word, and have [...]

Humbling myself and asking for help…please share if you’d like.

I went to the gynecologist, today, expecting another ultrasound, as I mentioned last night/this morning.  I got a brief physical exam, a talk that caused me to get frustrated, and then an equally-frustrated doctor referred me to a surgeon for exploratory/corrective surgery via laparoscopy.

They can’t figure out what’s wrong with my uterus without poking [...]

So, here’s another health update in vlog form.

I’m posting these here because I want my readers to know what’s going on, but I can’t quite put this stuff into writing, somehow. I don’t do a really good job talking about it, necessarily, but it’s a hell of a lot easier to make a video than it is to type a novella and [...]

PUUUUUUUUKE-TASTIC. (Paxil update)

The side effects of Paxil are as follows, according to drugs.com(the ones I’m having are bold-face):

Anxiety; blurred vision; constipation; decreased sexual desire or ability; diarrhea; dizziness; drowsiness; dry mouth; gas; increased sweating; increased urination; loss of appetite; nausea; nervousness; numbness or tingling of the skin; stomach upset; trouble sleeping; weakness; yawning.

The yawning is [...]

Just when you think you’re in control, just when you think you’ve got a hold, just when you get on a roll, here it goes, here it goes, here it goes again. Oh, here it goes again.

I’m too lazy to check to see if I talked about this, but aside from my seizures increasing (higher stress, yo), I also had a pretty serious bout of OCD the other day that resulted in my scrubbing my tub/shower with a grout brush (which is like an over-sized toothbrush) just so that I could [...]

With apologies to anyone harboring a crush on me.

You guys, I’m scared to fart.

Yes, for exactly the reason you’re thinking.

If anyone knows what happened to me while I was driving from STL to Memphis in 2003, this is almost worse.

At least I’m at home.

(In related news, the Walgreens version of Pepto tastes like shit.  Work on that, guys – [...]

Blech of the week.

I went to the doctor, and I’m back on a pretty ridiculous dose of lortab due to the fact that my periods have suddenly decided to last for two weeks, cramping all the while.

*sigh*

In slightly-hilarious news, while speaking with my doctor about the issue, I said, “You know, as soon as I have [...]

I’m calling you out, Wasband

In case anyone comes across this entry later than it was made (which was over two years ago), I have a couple of changes I’d like to make (as of May 19, 1013):

1.  His father no longer has my sympathy.  I will not go into details about it, but apparently he’s become part of [...]
