Today we were on I-4 driving out to see the annual free Festival of the Masters Art Show at Downtown Disney, with plans to see the dancing Osborne Lights and fireworks afterward (just to do something fun after so long not feeling well from surgery), when the engine light came on in the car, Love…

Tuesday Blues
Today I have an appointment at 2:45pm with the hematologist. It’s a follow-up to my pre-op appointment to determine how he wants to proceed with getting my iron stores (ferritin level) back up to normal levels. It was originally going to be last week but my Mom had an appointment that day and I wasn’t…
Post Hysterectomy Days 10 and 11
This weekend marked days 10 and 11 of my healing and recovery from my hysterectomy. Much remains the same. I’m still dealing with deep aches and pains around the incision sites (especially the one on the left which my doctor told me would be the one that hurt the most.) I’m begrudgingly still taking some…
More Money Woes
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…

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…
Déjà vu?
I have this weird quasi Déjà vu feeling this weekend. I think it’s because it was Memorial Day Weekend when this whole “hysterectomy” adventure started. I left work that Friday, starting hurting and spent the weekend progressively more and more in agony until I finally wound up in the ER that Sunday late afternoon. Now…
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…
1:30am
I’ve been sitting staring at the title line for 15 minutes trying to start the blog but given that it’s about 1:30 in the morning, nothing is coming to me. Just a simple entry with brief update from the last few days. Saturday – As you probably saw in the last post I stopped and…
