Another birthday....30 Days of Truth, Day 21.

August 24, 2010





Day 21 → (scenario) Your best friend is in a car accident and you two got into a fight an hour before. What do you do?

Really? Is this even a necessary question? I would think that most people would do what I would do.

I'd be there in a heartbeat! I mean, she's my bff after all! I probably wouldn't leave her side, I'd stay there and support her, love her...he'll I'd even change diapers...if I had to! I mean I love her and all...but (eww) still, I'd do it! I'd take her kids to my house and let them stay with me until she was home. Whatever she needed from me, I do for her.

Including the ass kicking she would get (as soon as I knew that she was ok) for pissing me off in the first place!! Haha!

I'm sitting here watching Don play a game on the PS3. I've got some good ol' Steve Miller Band going on my laptop! Now there's some "happy" music for ya!

Today is my big sisters birthday! I'm so thankful that we're back on speaking terms and that she's in a happy and loving relationship with a wonderful guy! I wrote a blog entry about her ex kicking her out when she was going through testing to see if she had breast cancer a while back (I ended up deleting all of my early blog entries!). She came home from work one day and he told her to get out. No "you can stay here till you find somewhere to go" nothing like that...just get out! She didn't even suspect that anything like that was coming, especially with what was going on with her health at the time! F*cker! I swear, I'd (still) love to beat his pansy ass for that one!

Anyhappyeffinbirthday, I love you big sis! I can't wait to get home in 26 days  and spend some quality time you know, drinking and stuffs and Diann!!

So, 3 birthdays, 3 days in a row in my family. Whew....shits exhausting yo! But we're all good for now. Until September 1st, MY BIRTHDAY!! I don't know what in the hell I'm excited about. I'm turning 41. What's so damn exciting about that y'all? Lol...

Still having a bit of a flare up today, but it's going away! Dr's appointment tomorrow, I'm guessing my dr's gonna say that it's time for me to consider those injections in my neck...I don't want to but nothing else is making the damn pain go away. So I guess I'll know after tomorrow! Wish me luck!

I'm getting it there....

April 16, 2010

I've been up all night and I've been TRYING to work on my blog all night. Like I said in my last entry I'm trying to adjust a few things with the new layout and trying to add a few things that I want in here.

So I had my appointment with my pain management dr yesterday. It actually went better than I thought it was going to. When I got there they immediately brought me into the back and gave me a piss test (like a common criminal damn it! lol...kidding! I totally understand why they have to do that!), but I was freaking out because I couldn't remember what med's I'd taken in the last three days haha! Since I was out of Ambien CR I'd been taking some of the old meds (a couple of months old) that she'd given me to help me to sleep.

Anyway, I got the results of the MRI that I did a few months ago. When I was being tested (before I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia) for MS and Lupus (when I lived in Louisiana) my dr told me that I had Arnold-Chiari malformation as well as dehydration of the disc, narrowing of the spinal column, and degenerative disc disease. Good news is that I don't have the Arnold-Chiari's! Bad (ish) news is that I have three bulging disc in my neck with bone spurs in between. Sounds fun no??

I was freaking out thinking she was gonna say that I'd have to have surgery but she said not unless I lose use of my left arm (that I've been having so much trouble with). But for now she said that it's fine that I'm not going to physical therapy anymore as long as I continue to do my exercises at home. I have to go back in two months and if I'm still having the same amount of trouble with my left arm going numb and tingling then we'll talk about getting some injections in my neck. I've had one before...it didn't really help me but she said that it was possible that they didn't do it in the disc that was "flaring up" at the time, that they probably did the injection in the disc that was the worst at the time and not the disc that was causing me all the problems. So I guess for now I'm at a wait and see standpoint. I'm praying that I don't have to have the injections though...that shit hurts damn it!

Ok...I'm gonna go work on my layout some more. I'd like to spend some time today getting caught up on all of your blogs! I so damn far behind!!

Have a wonderful day y'all! Much love!
