a few minutes ago i had a slew of things to update you on , but i just drew a blank. surprised?? hmm, ya, me either. happens all the time doesn't it. well. i used to worry about that, but not so much anymore. after all the brain scans and crap-- i at least know it's not a tumor or anything anymore. still doubtin on the senile thing tho. i do wonder sometimes. i just surprise myself at my own bad memory. i can't imagine what some of y'all think. it's really strange sometimes. but not much i can do about it. in all reality, there is a lot i could contribute to it-- number one being the slew of meds i take. and have taken for a number of years. (anti -d's people-- not nuthin weird here)... but the way my mind works, i have a tendency to lean towards the worst-- and that being that my mom died (with) --not from-- altzheimers -- so of course, i tend to say that i'm senile a lot. since her death i avoid the word altzheimers..
anyhow... enough of that. we've established the fact that i can't remember my address or name at times.. a year ago... why bring that up again.. right? :))
ok.. moovin on.
i was trying to reply to some comments here this morning-- yep another early day again today-- .. and i was reminded of a few things...
one being med stuff goin on lately...
the CT-- from the other day-- i got a call back on that-- on.. umm.. wednesday i think. they said... the CT came back "ok". BUT, "they couldn't see--or find?? i don't remember which word.. my pancreas." isn't that weird? i said.. hmmm why not? i expected some type of answer-- such as ... swelling? umm.. or even perhaps.. because i was sooo constipated that i had crap wrapped around my entire insides? (on the xray they took on monday, .. sorry, i know that's not a nice visual-- but i really did.. :O ) ... but, know what she said? "i don't know." hmmm.. well, that's real nice. see why i hate the med "profession?" i really do think i would be a better doc than the people i PAY to help me...at least i do RESEARCH! UGH.
soooo.. she says they will have to schedule me for an ultrasound of my pancreas. just peachy! i'm fairly sure that the pancreas is in the front of your belly .. and shouldn't cause lower SIDE pain. hmmm.. but okaaayyyy. (that is set up for monday... and i'm pretty sure they won't find anything-- again.) BUT-- i still believe something is goin on .. SOMEWHERE. the pain is not as severe as it was three or four days ago.. i can breathe, move and sleep now at least. it has become more of a runners cramp type thing..again..like in the beginning.
this kinda thing really pisses me off to no end ya know. i have things like this happen to me all the time. medical issues. mysterious pains, mysterious issues. but after i go through all fear and anxiety.. and hell of tests and MONEY... all comes back "OK".. except the symptoms.. and i am still left wondering. BUT.. the dr's .. and surely "others" are left thinking that i am a lunatic, hypochondriac.
WHICH i KNOW-- is not true. know how i know??? because-- the evidence of that lies in the lab reports. for one. for two-- it is also in the x-rays and bone scans.
just a couple months ago.. my red cells were near non existent--- NOW-- on monday-- they did labs-- and guess what?? the red cells are friggin NORMAL.. BUT the white cells are UP. WTF???
i just may have to go to nursing school myself, and learn about all this lab shit myself. and learn how to read scans and xrays and all this stuff on my own. i have lost -- i was teetering-- but i have NOW, lost ALL.. every spec-- of faith in the entire medical WORLD.
they NEVER seem to tell me anything more than i already know at the time. and i am sooo sick of paying for nothing. all they do is piss me off. how hard is it for them to answer questions.? such as.. hmm why cant they see the pancreas? umm..dunno. duh.
well hey dumbass.. i don't either--
umm.. why would the white count be up and the red back up when the white was normal and the red down, such a short time ago? uhhhh.. i dun-no.
well.. hey you asshat-- i don't either. that's what YOU get paid for isn't it? fucker !
do ANY of you really think an abdominal ultrasound, is gonna answer ANY of this?? or new labs in two weeks?
i DON:T. know what i think? i think the ultrasound MAY see a "normal pancreas... " i think they won't look at my side... the side that hurts, and cramps up--- so wont answer THAT question.... AND i truly expect-- DIFFERENT lab results AGAIN. maybe with the addisons' my labs change on some type of dietary basis? i'll have to google that.
OK.. ENOUGH medical bullshit--
BUT if any of you know any of this crap
help me out??
moooovin on...
BUT if any of you know any of this crap
help me out??
moooovin on...
I DIDN'T POST YESTERDAY(oops)---- cuz i was doin other stuff.
i actually did do some housework. mainly my desperately neglected kitchen. it looks mahvelous. altho-- i still need to clean my fridge , floor, and pantry. i also need to get something.. anything.. to store my friggin "stuff' in there... the design of that kitchen really really sucks. i have a lot of nik naks that i absolutely LOVE..cows, roosters, etc..that i have collected for YEARS.. that i can't even display in there-- cuz there's no where to put it all. and i MISS it. plus, there is nowhere for my pots and pans etc either. i don't know who designed that kitchen but it just sucks..there's not even a decent place to prep food when ya cook. maybe that's why i lost my cooking mojo?? i just hate my kitchen here.
i'm already wanting to move!!! i wish we could, i'm still not decorated or all the way unpacked here. i may never get that way either. the more we talk about it-- the more i realize the less time we have here-- we are gettin closer and closer to being able to buy a house. THAT excites me. i never thought we'd be at this point ever again. i thought we'd be renters for life. looks like we have about six more months-- according to our credit reports-- IF we can STOP using our credit cards...:(( i am my mothers daughter-- or would that be my husbands wife :))
ok... what else??
wednesday-- what did i end up doin?? it wasn't cleanin house, that's for sure. and my laundry is so backed up it's sad. i MUST do that today. i do mean TODAY! most has been washed.. but for some reason, has a funky smell. that mildewy musty smell. so it needs re-washed.. or at least re-dried with about two-hundred dryer sheets. UGH-- i hate it when that happens. PLUS io have about ten loads of dirty clothes. i hate laundry. have i mentioned that? ya, i thought so.
just about everything else is done. aside from a fuckin fly infestation. wtf?? why do i have flies again? no odor of dead rats this time...no overflowin trash.. the litterbox is clean. there is NO reason we should have flies. NONE. NONE!!!!!! i'm really pissed about it. sick even. i was "this close" to gettin a motel room last night. i had the heebie jeebies from it. they have to be coming in from somewhere.. i just don't know where-- or WHY. do YOU??? if so-- tell me// please.. and tell me what to do about it. they are in MY bedroom.. and it is the cleanest room in the house-- aside from the living room . and bathrooms. wtf/???? it's killin me.. and it just started..like a day or two ago.... like i said-- it's not dead rats this time..THEY are gone.
HELP ME.
also-- wed... jlee and i met for lunch. another good time. food and starbucks. we were both bored to tears sittin at home when we decided to meet up--- so it was good. as usual.
so anyhow-- TODAYS plan??
chores, errand, MORE catching up on stuff i been puttin off...an
i just may take advantage of the early mornin bite--and go fishin for a little while before i start my day. this is the time of year that the morning fishin is the best. am , aND p.m. woo hoo.
oh and i do think me and soulman will enter that tournament. i guess they have it three nights a week..we may fish one or two of them... that will be FUN. we may even fish it TONIGHT!!!!
i shall let ya know.
anyhow-- i do hope y'all have happy fridays today!
and happy weekends to follow!

wth i'm first here too!!!!
good luck with the fishin...and yeah the house..if you can get into the buying house thing...take your time and make sure that house meets ALL your requirements.. cuz it's yours for good ya know...!
I am happy to hear that you are feeling better. It makes me very happy. :)
I just got caught up on reading your page, I will never get caught up on commenting, ugh. I am so sorry that I have not had the time, I'll make it up to you, I swear.
I'll call you tonight.
Thank you, you know what for. :)
xo
:)
o da lay poops,
you feel better gettin' all that out? lol
my house is also in shambles . ack!
how DOES it happen???
my sweet and low tastes like poison too. damn it. my coffee is undrinkable.
my pancreas da' fell ,Gilbert.
lol
This is why I just never bother to go to the doctor I reckon.
Have fun fishing!
I better be cleaning today:(
Love me
Girl whenever I read about your medical frustrations it sounds like an episode of House! Shouldn't there be some doctor somewhere who can figure you out so you can feel as good as you deserve to feel?
Here's to a good day in your land! :)
I'm feeling ya on those medical frustrations! It just seems like no one really cares anymore.
Don't let the big one get away!
Everything comes to those who bait! HA! ac
It's good to see you updated. Sometimes it's just hard to know what to post, isn't it? I hope you and hubby are front and center when the fishing begins tonight. I also hope that when "time's up" for the evening the two of you are front and center with the winning catch.
The medical community is a necessary but absolutely frustrating entity. I'd think they'd get just a bit excited if they couldn't find your pancreas. Telling you that as an "oh, by the way" is insane. Of course your pancreas is there - most probably the problem is operator (of the machine) error. Maybe she just didn't know what she was looking for. I certainly understand your wanting to scream.
Wait until everyone is out of the house, scream, cuss the flies, scream, take a deep breath and look forward to fishing this evening. Thinking happy thoughts for you.
Can I be the first to say "you're full of sh*t?" haha Kidding!
I know, that was your joke ;)
Hope you have a wonderful weekend and get your mind off all these medical issues. xo
good luck with the tournament..a bit of tag team hubife works wonders eh?
Sorry about the bs with the med area..I wonder if it could be your gallbladder..that would be the first area they should check, because of the pain that you have that comes and goes..I bet it happens a short time after you've eaten, right?
If I'm wrong..perfect..but if you say yes, I'd be curious on the gb if you still have her inside of you..and the ultrasound will only detect stones, not the function of it, which means to determine that you'd need to do a HIDA Scan where you drink this cream stuff and they scan you for ah hour or so as you lay on a table..but not enclosed like an MRI..
Wierd on the pancreas..my guess would be because your gb is irritated..which would explain the increase of the WBCells, fighting it..
or is it an autoimmune thing..damn those doctors, I just wish you could feel better.
You're funny with the memory bit, but look at it this way, you have notes through the capturing of this blog, and you have many friends that'll help you Remember..if that's a good thing. :)
At least it's friday, right?
Always,
Elizabeth
P.s. Foster's line about your med things sounding like a HOUSE SHOW made me laugh... have a good day and screw the housework,...enjoy the day minus the flies.. I saw there's a town in Texas that has a nasty bout of ants.. those make me itchy...feel the fish! :0) don't know what made me say that, but it sounded funny. :O)
yankee-- you're on a roll this mornin. well, you were-- it's not mornin anymore.
and yep you're right-- we've already talked about that.. i need to be writin it all down tho-- so i don't forget when we start lookin. i do know what i want in a house-- but it's easy to overlook the little things when you're lookin.. like kitchen space-- and a jet tub! or perhaps a working heater / air conditioner perhaps... grrrrr.
happy weekend.
hiya jamie--
don't worry about gettin caught up-- we all fall behind-- and with worse excuses than you at at times :))
fughetaboutit :))
and stop sayin thank you---
i'm just glad it made you happy. i think there's a way to put it on a disc-- but i am not the one to ask how to do it-- perhaps you can ask superjanelle? lol
anyways-- enjoy your weekend !!
ox
actually smocha,
YES i did feel better after my rant. :))
and i did go fishin too.
but now i am full , and fat, and lazy, and tiahd, and in need of a shower and a nap.
i must finish MY LAUNDRY first tho. ugh. i don't know if i can make it tho. i done wore my ass out. i'd prolly be ok if i didn't eat---- or wake up at 3:330 ..
"my pancreas da' fell.. haha."
i never laughed at the shoe one.. but i thought that was pretty funny..
as for how the house falls apart-- i have no clue. i literally turn my back for a day-- and it's a damn disaster. drives me crazy.
sweet and low IS poison dontchaknow?
i always have fun fishin!
you have fun cleanin-- or did you decide to do somethin else??
fostah--
funny you should mention house--
one of the last times i watched that show-- i actually got pissed off. :)) i usually like it, but i have come to realize it is just tooooo unrealistic for my taste.
never in this lifetime would any dr. do any of that. for anybody.
such as admit a person and run that many tests--and diagnose--and pretty much heal them.. in a week---no less--- for a symptom, such as.. being too cheerful??
did you see that one??/
ugh. that one just ticked me off.
then i started to think of other ones i had seen.. and -- it just would never happen.
ever. ever. ever.
but yes-- i do sometimes wish that it would. it would be nice to get fixed-- or at least know what was goin on with me once in a while.
so anyhow-- whaddayadoin... you didn't forget to make plans again did ya??
happy weekend--
hey JESS--
sorry about the ramble--
MY SENILE!
:))
ac--
i AGREE
and i LOVE that last line !!
you need to post a pic of some of your fish!
what do you fish for--you ever fish tourneys? you fish with your hubby?
do you have a boat-- wussup?
happy weekend--
how often do you fish?
fresh or salt--
ok ok i'll shut up
laterz
(btw--can you tell, you're like my only fisher-peep? lol)
yes mary--sometimes i spend more time thinkin of what to post than i do posting it--if i post at all.
thanks for all the good vibes and wishes.
i hope we do good at the tourney tonight too-- if we don't win , i at least we hope we catch fish. nuthin worse than not catchin fish out there.
hope y'all have a great weekend....
you gonna see the baby??
thats fine jlee-- i'm sure you won't be the last.. :))
you too-- got any big plans?
did you watch your movie the other day? what was it?
crusty--
you had me laughin... :))
i don't know nuthin bout either of them.. the gallbladder or the pancreas.
i do know i eat like a pig half the time, and it doesn't change the pain though. so, hmmm.
i do not know.
i am also sure i do have a pancreas-- and the pain is not there. and i do not know why they could not see it. sheer stupidity i spose.
other than that?
i think i need my nap now.. without one-- i will be a tired crabapple at the tourney tonight--and it will be no fun for either of us--and that would not be good.
i will see y'all latah.
happy weekend to ya crustay-
Other than having MS I'm as healthy as an ox so luckily don't have to worry about Docs too much. Do you know I have been suffering with this latest MS attack for 7 and a half weeks now and I still have 5 more weeks to go before they can fit me in with the Neurologist. Gee you wouldn't be dead for quids would you?
My kitchen has oodles of cupboards and bench tops and I've still managed to fill them all to capacity so everything comes tumbling out when you open the cupboard doors.
Gee I hope they find your pancreas Soul. I'm not sure what a pancreas does but I'm fairly sure you need it for something.
Enjoy your fishing darl.
