Tough Week
It’s been an all-around tough week. First of all, it’s menstrual week, which is flaring up my endo adhesions. I have a hugely bloated stomach and sharp back pains which has been really cramping my style (pardon the pun). Not to mention the exhaustion that accompanies this lovely, fun week. Fortunately, I’m seeing my GYN this [...]

Exhaustion
I’ve been really exhausted the past couple of days. I’m adjusting a couple of my minor medications, but that shouldn’t really make me this tired. I napped on Saturday afternoon, Sunday afternoon and all day today. In fact, today I could barely pull myself off the bed. I did get up and do my Wii [...]

Summertime Blues
Yesterday ended up being kind of a depressing day. I got up early to ride with my hubby to drop off the kids at day camp, and then we had an hour and a half to kill before my doctor’s appointment. We went for coffee, which was pleasant. I was sitting in the cafe watching the [...]

Diet
As predicted, I woke up feeling absolutely horrible this morning. My back was hurting very much (which isn’t new, but it was worse than usual) and my knees were so stiff. I decided it would be wise to take a day off from trying to do any extra coordinated activity, and just spent my regular [...]

Pathology Report
I saw the doctor yesterday and heard the results of the pathology report from my gallbladder removal. There were ‘multiple stones’ which apparently means there were too many to count, and they range in size from 1 cm to 1 mm. There was some slight irritation around the neck of my bile duct, which means [...]

Walking Tour
I had a bit of a slow weekend. It was spent trying to recover my energy from what I presume was the Botox shots that had drained it. Since we had promised the kids a movie on Thursday, we were going to try both Saturday and Sunday to go, but I still wasn’t up to [...]

Disappointment
My kids were home from day camp yesterday, due to overexposure to the sun the day before, so hubby and I decided to take them to the movies. I jumped in the shower (I was so thrilled – I couldn’t even take a simple bath on my own two months ago) but halfway through, I [...]

No Feeling
Okay, well, very limited feeling. My 8-year-old daughter and 6-year-old son are home today after getting a bit too much sun at day camp yesterday. My daughter came into my room this morning and put her cold hands on my legs – I hardly felt them. When she put them on my arms, though, I sure [...]

New Shoes!
Yesterday was Botox day, so I took the opportunity to have the fasting blood test I needed done while I was at the hospital. I couldn’t believe how out of it I was without coffee. The technician was giving me instructions, and I had to really work to concentrate – I was surprised at how [...]

Surprise!
First of all, sorry for the delay in posting. I have been promising myself I will post more often to avoid these overly-long missives when I do post, and I am trying to get the hang of organizing my life better. My lame excuses involve the visit from my sister and the overhaul of my [...]
