WordPress taunts me. It starts off with “Enter Title Here” and on many days, I sit and stare at the title box for long stretch of time, unable to come up with something clever to put there. Today, you can clearly see, was one such day as I eventually gave up and just entered the…

Insurance!!
I got wonderful news today. The letter from the Pre-Existing Insurance Plan (PCIP) came today. And I’m APPROVED! As of August 1st, I will have medical insurance which WILL work on my pre-existing gynecological problems and which WILL be able to be used toward my surgery. As you can see, I need to immediately pay…
Missing wallet
Spent the last 45 minutes tearing the house apart trying to find Love’s wallet. Cannot find it anywhere. He finally just had to leave for work without it because he was already 30 minutes late. Had it yesterday at the store to buy dinner but just cannot find it anywhere!! This is crazy. I don’t…
You Oughta Be In Pictures
(This is an entirely non-medical post. I need to do something different for a little break. I’m sure medical entries/updates will resume probably right away, but in the meantime, enjoy one completely randomly off-topic.) There’s a movie that was released in 1977 called Slapshot. It’s kind of a cult favorite hockey movie where a minor…

Post Appointment Update
Had my appointment today for the one-week follow-up on the blood pressure medication. BP was 128/82 and doc was very happy with where I was at. (Considering a week ago it was 160/100.) He also did just a simple external pressing on my abdomen to see how the tumors felt and he was impressed with…
Migraine
Ugh, migraine today. First in awhile. Took an Imitrex a coupe hours ago. Has helped pain but still don’t feel well. One week follow-up with doctor tomorrow at 1pm for blood pressure medication. I’ll update after that. Haven’t tested my BP in a few days. Haven’t been out of the house honestly. Made a bunch…
PhoenixFire Designs Shop Update
Well, we’re about 7 weeks into this unpaid medical leave bit and I’m getting nervous about the ever-decreasing balance in my account. I’ve been trying to get new items listed inbetween medication side effects, a/c failures and doctor’s appointments so I thought I’d profile some of the newer items and available items to help drum…
A/C Problems Continued
Jeez, the maintenance guy just left after 45 minutes again. I had to call the office because it was 80F (27C) in here and the a/c wouldn’t turn on no matter what I set it on. So he came out, took the whole wall unit apart and changed a capacitor. It’s running again but now…
I Hate My Appartment Complex
Last night, I noticed our A/C was starting to freeze up when the A/C kept running non-stop for an hour and it was getting warmer in the apartment. It’s done this regularly for the 6.5 years we’ve lived here and pretty much nothing ever gets done about it. I know exactly what to do at…
Medication Update
First, let me start by updating on my current meds for those who may have missed something along the way. Lupron – This is the shot I had in the doctor’s office most recently July 7th. I had a one-month shot on June 7th and then three-month shot second. This is the medication that puts…

BP Med – Day Two
Today I’ve been beyond tired all day. Ugh. Seriously, I spent most of the day sleeping or wishing I were sleeping. Low grade headache all day too. So far no dizziness or lightheadedness which is good. But the headache came with some nausea/queasiness which kinda sucked. And man, TONS of freaking head tingling. Oh my…
Love’s Dad is Home!
Love just called. They just got home from the hospital. It’s been a long and worrying and trying time but he’s doing really good and they cleared him to come home today! Hard to imagine it was just Tuesday that he had open heart surgery and a quadruple bypass! Not to mention he had gallbladder…
BP Med – 1st Pill
Took my first of the new high blood pressure medication tonight after eating dinner. Figured might as well start on a full stomach since it’s recommended to take it with food or milk. About 1.5 into it, I started getting shaky. Kinda jittery and sorta “weird” feeling. That lasted for about two hours. About three…
