Well, I had wanted to get back to work for a couple weeks while on the Lupron, (to earn some income of course!) but my work will not allow me to return without a doctor’s note stating I am 100% cleared for ALL my duties and my FULL schedule. Obviously I can’t say that right…

Shot Day 1
So I had the Lupron shot yesterday and I thought I’d update how it’s going so far. This entry may be a little TMI but seeing as I’m talking about my uterus on a daily basis these days, really, I think I already left modesty pretty far behind. *chuckles* First, in order get the shot,…
Post Appointment Update
Lots to cover so hopefully, this will make sense. Shot First, I got the shot. I only got a 1 month shot instead of the three month shot. (I thought he said two but I was on Valium at the time so I must have misheard.) I was really concerned about the side effects and…
Nervous
I’m really scared about tomorrow’s appointment. I’ve already broke down crying twice today. *sigh* I’m just so afraid of what this shot is going to do to me. I have no way of knowing how I’m going to be feeling for the next two months and that’s just so terrifying. What if I’m miserable and…
Dreams of Normalcy
Yesterday we ran a few errands – nothing exciting, just like the post office and library, that sort of thing. It was the first time I’ve been up and about and out of the house doing something other than doctor’s appointments since this all started. It was nice to just be out for a little…
Big Surgery Updates
I just got home and I’m exhausted from (a) not sleeping last night and (b) the Valium I had to take because of the painfulness of today’s procedures. I’m going to give a quick sum but there’s so much to get into sorry if this doesn’t make sense or if I leave things out. First,…
Post Appointment Updates
Ok so I had my appointment with the doctor today. I’m feeling a little better about things because now we’re actually moving forward and I’m not just hanging out here in limbo. First, today we did some of the pre-op tests that need doing like a PAP. Tomorrow, I have to come back for a…
Frustrating
Spent the whole day on the phone and online looking up other options/suggestions/leads. Even filled out an application for Medicare but I know it won’t matter. Besides the fact it’s 30-45 day for a reply, you also have to list everyone in the household and all their assets (including their vehicles and such) to count…
Running out of options
I’ve been doing research on suggestions trying to find ANYTHING that will help cover the cost of the surgery. So far I’m completely striking out. First, I looked for emergency medicaid. Turns out, in Florida you have to be either: 1) Low income WITH KIDS 2) Children only 3) Pregnant 4) A NON citizen (what??…
The Return of the A/C Problems
So, awesome news…Love was driving home yesterday and stopped to get gas. When he turned the car back on after pumping, the air conditioning wouldn’t turn on. At all. Nothing happens when he turns the knob. The fan’s not kicking on at all. It was just working prior to stopping for gas and there’s been…
Sleepless Night
Man, what a miserable night. I got a really bad headache-bordering-on-migraine late yesterday evening, like around 11pm or so. Just really sudden and out of nowhere. I got ready and went to bed. And I fell asleep ok until Gracie woke me up around 4:30am because she was scratching my leather computer chair. (GRR! BAD…

Waiting
Spent a few hours at the vet this morning between the exam, waiting for the blood work results and such. Mika is there at the vet and they’ll be doing her dental this afternoon. Her blood work came back ok and the doctor didn’t want to wait until next week because she was afraid the…
General Updates
It’s been busy around here so I haven’t really had time for a real update. So let me backtrack slightly and get caught up on some of the bigger events. First, Friday my W2 finally arrived! I filed that night. I just might have it in time to pay off the Care Credit card before…
