Just wanted to take a moment to update and give my thanks on the fundraising efforts so far. As of this morning, there is $1,350 in my Hysterectomy Fund. A big chunk of that came today. Woke up this morning to a notification from PayPal that I had received a $500 donation. I do not…

Hospital Bills – Application for Assistance
I received a call from a gentleman at HCRA (Health Care Responsibility Act) here in my area. HCRA is the source which will help pay for hospitalization bills. (i.e. my $8,008 due to the hospital for my ER visit that started this whole thing.) It’s a separate department from the Health Care division (which I’ve…
Ok, That Hurts!
I’m running out of my painkiller and the doctor said he’d renew the prescription for me at my June 21st appointment. The pharmacy never got the order though (they send it electronically) so I’ve been playing phone tag trying to get it refilled. So yesterday, I was down to my last one and I decided…
Fan
I splurged last night and spent a whopping $5.99 with free shipping for a USB powered fan. I’m hot a lot these days because of the Lupron. This is an unfamiliar condition for me as I’m normally always cold. But the master bedroom (where the computer is located at) is the hottest room in the…
Feeling Hot, Hot, Hot!
Thursday night I woke up every 45 minutes or so the whole night long feeling like I was being cooked in an oven. Not night sweats specifically as I wasn’t sweaty, but more night hot flashes. The heat of my whole body would wake me up and I’d find myself laying there just overwhelmed by…
Hormones and Hospitals – Oh My!
Good news on Love’s Dad: he’s being moved from the CCU today into a less critical ward. He also ate his first solid food this morning. Yay! He’s still got a long way from being back to normal but these are all really good, positive signs he’s improving. As for me, yesterday I took my…

Post Appointment Updates
So a very busy day today. Lots to recount so I’ll try to break it up to make it more manageable. Doctor’s Appointment: 2 week checkup on Lupron / Plan Moving Forward So apparently things aren’t really bad the first two weeks on Lupron. It gets worse. (Greaaaat.) My body aches and fatigue are going…
Good news!
I’m getting ready for my appointment, but briefly, I just had to share good news about Love’s dad. The tube is out! He’s awake and aware and breathing entirely on his own now. Oh thank goodness! He’s still going to be in the hospital for probably a month at least and there are still concerns;…
More Health Updates
Seems like by the time I get a moment to update, the news is already outdated. *sigh* But here’s the latest. Love’s Dad He’s still on the respirator. They have turned it off several times and he did breathe on his own, however, he’s not conscious right now and they won’t remove it until he…
Health and Medical Updates
Been a busy few days so let me try to break it down. Good and bad in the health department. First the good…. Love’s Dad He’s doing better thank goodness. He was on two medications to keep his blood pressure regulated but they’ve got him off both and he’s maintaining it on his own. His…
Waiting
I went down to Love’s work and met up with him to drive the rest of the way down to the hospital. Love’s Dad is still critical but there is some improvement. His kidneys are improving their function and he’s producing more urine. His blood pressure is stabilizing (it was too low) and they’re weening…
Love’s Dad
I just talked to Love. His dad has taken a serious turn for the worse. They thought the origin of the infection was the gallbladder and removing most of it would make him better but apparently not because he’s worse. Much worse. He’s going septic and he’s on a ventilator. They’re flooding him with antibiotics…
Wednesday
Wednesday was a stressful day. Love’s Dad Love’s dad went into surgery around 3pm today. They removed most of his gallbladder and it was apparently riddled with tiny stones. It was very badly infected. The doctor said that they think the severity of the infection was what was impacting his heart and it’s irregular beating…
