Thank you to all my friends, fans and followers for helping make 2011 such a successful year. With your help and support, I was able to turn to my business as a means of not only keeping the bills paid, but being able to pay for my copays, premiums and other medical expenses leading up…

2 Drink Kinda Day
Unfortunately for me though, I don’t drink. Yes, I hated my day job. And no, I really didn’t want to go back but that doesn’t mean the way things wound up doesn’t leave me really low today. Going to get my stuff, I felt like I was being punished. I felt demeaned as my former…
Fun Monday But Dreading Tuesday
Normally Mondays are the day no one likes. But today, I hung out with my Mom so it was a good day. We went to the mall and shopped and browsed and tried things on and just generally had a nice time. Found a pair of capris and a pair of shorts on clearance and…
Still Sick, Medical Bills & Day Job Update
So I’m still dealing with the cold that I woke up with out of nowhere on Saturday. My poor lips are all cracked and split, my nose is red and scaly and now everything is turning to chest congestion so I’ve added coughing up nasty crap to my runny nose. Super fun and oh so…
Depression
This is a hard post to write for a lot of reasons. It’s hard to put it in words first of all. It’s also hard to admit how bad things are right now for me. I’m in a really bad place right now. And I have been for awhile. Ever since this all started, it’s…
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…
Where It All Began
This is the wristband I wore in the hospital. I had an ER one prior to this but this is the one they changed it to when I was admitted. This is why I’m working so hard to raise awareness and the funds for my surgery. And, as of next Friday when it’s payday again,…
Officially Down To One Income
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…
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…
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…
