i know i joke a lot about my senile - even sometimes my aneurysm. knowing that neither is funny - but both lighten the load of what might be the reality of what i could be facing. not easy. and today i look it in the eye -- again.
i'll let ya know what they say -- but we all know that will take days or more to know anything. at least it's gettin done.
also - no sooner than i got that appointment scheduled another radiology place called me... know what they want? yep- you guessed it -- my 6 month follow-up for my gastro (belly) mri. i told the lady -- shit, i have an mri on monday, when are you thinkin about it? will i turn green or somethin? she laughed. which helped. making me assume that's all rumor- or insurance bs, when they say you shouldn't have more than one or two in a year. know when she 'wanted to schedule me?' yep -- like wednesday ! uhhh, no! how far out can i push it? to the 15th. okay then.. let's do the 15th. shit are they really tryin to kill me? maybe i won't turn green , but hell.. MRI's two days apart - really people, that just can't be good for a person. at minimum my fillings would fall out-- dontchya think?
all this medical crap ... right now? i'm not even caught up with my house-- or my vacations, etc. i have shit to do, and here i am, back in the dr and appointment saddle again. thank the good Lord my out of pocket has been emptied for the year. oh hell.. i just remembered - i still have to schedule something to be done to my back too! whether it be steroid shots or the big bad rhizotomy. ugh.
oh and here's one i haven't mentioned. i couldn't really. not yet. but now that it's all out in the opened i spose i can. i think at least some of you know that i have been getting near monthly massage , since the end of -09 ? or somethin like that. well, when i had that last rhizotomy, it messed up my advance payments taken out of my bank every month, since i couldn't be touched at all for about 4-5 months. i couldn't get the massages at all. so they kept takin the money- while i fell further and further behind on my schedule- and my money. i called several times to have my account frozen until i could get caught up-- even doubling my session times -- but they never did freeze the account - and again- i kept falling behind. so , in the mean-time, my female masseuse - her dad got sick, and she moved out of state to help him. so i go back - lookin for her - and the only alternative - due to my many back and neck conditions - i end up with a maNseusse. never had one- ok , once. i was always uncomfortable with a man massager - always asked for a woman after that.. but i knew this guy was good, and the owner. and knew my med conditions . so i - like a fool -- requested him, when i started goin back a few months ago. ugh.
long story - short ---- the last time i was there - a couple weeks before we left for TN? he came on to me !!! i didn't have time to deal with any of it til we got back, so i waited.
well, saturday -- or sunday --? - i email a letter to the company - owned by my maNseusse. :(( requesting my 'contract' be cancelled , and the 4 months that i am paid ahead be refunded to me asap. i still haven't heard a word back -- of course it was a weekend.
anyhow-- i tell soulman this is all due to the fact that i will never get caught up financially - not with the pain, and procedures etc. he was cool with that.
bad thing? i had already told soulkid that he asked for my phone number last time i saw him. i skipped a little bit -- but even the phone part pissed her off and she said i better never go back. which i knew -- i just needed to hear someone else say it. and y'all know i lack in the girlfriend department out here. so soulkid was my confidant .
well.. whenever i was on the phone- and writin the email? the truth came out. they both were askin questions, and soulman was PISSED. ugh. sometimes bein honest doesn't pay off. ya know that? I didn't even do anything but leave -- then cancel my shit to never go back.. and i'm left feelin like i did do somethin wrong. where is the justice in that?
anyhow-- other than tat -- i must get ready fo z doctah
catchya latah peeps -- bet ya can't beat my excitement meter for the day can ya?
bwa hahahahaha
i'm still tryin to get to the tn update post -- just so much to do - so little time :((

Good Lord! Feeling bad AND having to put up with ComeOns! Why didn't you just haul off and smack him?? Grrrrr....
Tell Hubby to get OVER it! Be glad he's got a good looking wife!

Too many=Not good...

I'm sorry that medical reality is hitting home again. It's a bad bounce downward after a fun vacation. You aren't exposed to radiation with an MRI, but the contrast material does increase your risk of kidney problems. Drink lots of fluids!!! That is really creepy about your massage therapist. These people are licensed through your state's department of health, so he should be reported.
hello my friends -- my donnas :))
yeh i know. you're both right. soulman did chill out after i talked to him about stuff. first off ? i did not reciprocate this asses advances. i don't plan to. i did not give him my phone number. yes, he has mine in the computer- but he has not called- and if he does- i will not talk to him. other than to cuss him out - and demand - with a threat - to get my damn money back.
soulman really was angry. he also brought the legal aspects-- which were also my first instincts into the matter. the MAIN thing about me doing something on that line? this place employs a lot of people. 20 or more. and mostly women. obviously they have families. this jerk is the owner. if i call a lawyer -- for whatever reason about what happened? he gets shut down, and all these families go without work, food, home, etc. i do NOT want to be responsible for that. i just want my damn 160.00 - and i don't want mr. creepy to touch me again. ya know? i know it's the right thing to do - maybe - to turn him in. but for me? i can't make all these people lose their job just cuz their boss is a pig.
next?
and speaking of my miss-firing brain cell? the freakin MRI is TOMORROW ! after i set my alarm for 6 this morning ! dammit !
and tn donna - good to know - i always drink lots of water anyhow - due to the Addisons' - but thanks !
hope you two recover nicely from the long weekend !
HUGZ ladies
Glad to see you are getting the medical issues addressed, though it's surely not fun, and definitely scary, I always feel like I can handle knowing the facts of what I'm dealing with so much better than worrying about what I don't know. We always tend to conjure up the worst case scenarios possible if we let our minds go down that path. I'll be praying for some clear answers for you, ones that can live with and keep on goin. You have been thru so, so much and I am reminding our Creator that it's about time you got a break! :-)
As for the shithead who tried to come on to you, I have to wonder how many other patients he has pulled that with that are feeling just as violated as you. I doubt it's a one time thing. I'd give at least a little thought to turning the a##*%$e in. I'm betting that at least some of his staff are already aware of the problem and would benefit from being rid of him in their lives.
Oh dear. I know how dreadful it is. My mum just did her annual MRI for her head. We'll get to see the results in about a week. She dislikes it as much as you do, getting into the capsule and keep very still for 30 minutes....
I hope all this pain in your body will go away. It saddens me to hear you going through all this. Hang in there. Maybe go fishing?
