∞ I had my hematologist appointment this morning at 10am. They said to get there early so I arrived around 9:45am. I didn’t leave until 11:50am. Holy crap, they’re slow! The doctor’s nurse and the doctor himself were both very nice. The nurse even gave me a hug and wished me well with my surgery. But [...]

∞ Well, so much for hoping they’d bill me. Receipt for your debit card purchase Amount $121.00 USD Merchant SDI DIAGNOSTIC Awesome. Thankfully, I’ve had a few sales in the shop lately, so I was able to use the money in my PayPal account to pay it. The tech said she didn’t see anything but that [...]

∞ Today is exactly 1 week until surgery. Goodness gracious, I’m getting nervous. I also had my pre-op clearance with my primary doctor today. Most things were good, but, nothing is ever straightforward so…here’s what’s going on. Blood Pressure First, my blood pressure was 98/64. Which is actually a little low, especially since I’m on medication [...]

∞ Our poor bath towels. At one point they were quite nice. Sadly that point was awhile ago now and towels surely have not been a priority recently. They look sadder and sadder every wash. Oh well. Posted via email from memoryanddream’s posterous

∞ Talked to Donna – the billing person at my doctor’s office. She was going over the insurance approval process and billing side of the surgery. My insurance is $1,000 deductible for the year (I think I still owe about $670 or so towards that) and the insurance pays 80% and I pay 20%. So I [...]

∞ Didn’t do a whole lot this weekend. Love was recovering from his extraction Thursday and was kinda sore and I was really, weirdly dizzy Friday and Saturday. Not like vertigo dizzy, more like lightheaded/spacey/woozy. If I got up too quick, my vision would go kinda white/foggy too for a second. I think that perhaps the [...]

Autumn It’s the first day of Autumn (even though there’s no such season here in Florida and around here, we’re still firmly in summer’s grip.

I desperately need to drum up some sales. Things have been so slow for over a week now and I’m honestly panicking looking at the dwindling balance in my account. With surgery 16 days away (and counting!) and $600 still to go, PLUS trying to build a little bit of a safety net while I’m [...]

Nothing much to report from this weekend. Love had miserable vertigo again and I’m still trying to figure out what this flu-like symptoms without the flu thing is, so we really didn’t do much. So instead, let me post an obligatory cat picture. This is Gracie doing her Princess And the Pea impression. (Click for [...]

∞ I don’t know what it is lately, but the last few days, I’ve just been extremely tired, fatigued and just generally run down. I almost feel like I’m getting sick again but that doesn’t make sense and I don’t really think I am, but it’s that kind of general body ache/malaise where you have no [...]

∞ Had an amazing time at Big Cat Rescue with my Mom and Sister today. First time taking the tour. I really applaud their goal – to put themselves out of business by changing laws and stopping irresponsible breeders and such so there doesn’t have to be a sanctuary for abused cats. The tour guide even [...]

∞ OMG the nurse called me while I was out at Target. Surgery is going to either be Wednesday, September 21st OR Wednesday, October 5th. She’s shooting for the 21st. Which is only a WEEK AND A HALF AWAY. *panic* Wednesdays are his OR day. And we can’t do it the 28th because the 29th is [...]

∞ Alright so I just got back from the primary doctor. Today was my follow-up for the physical two weeks ago and to get the bloodwork results as well. First, blood pressure: 110/60! Holy crap that’s awesome. Hasn’t been this low in a long time. My bp meds are clearly working!! Second, everything basically was pretty [...]
