Earlier in the month, Jeanne over at Jeanne’s Endo Blog awarded my blog the Lemon Award for always demonstrating a great attitude of caring. And for this I thank her.
I know it’s taken me ages to post this, see as she bestowed upon me this nice honor on Nov. 10th, but my life has been hectic with [...]

That hurt!
Having swabs and cottin tips sticks and pointy things rammed into your belly button while it’s spewing pus and goop hurts!!!!
They cleaned it – very, very, very well. They took cultures – many. They squeezed the heck out of an already very tender incision area to milk it of more pus to culture. Then they [...]

Another update on infection…
I go in at 11:40 – roughly an hour to have this thing checked. Nurse said it needed checked if it’s still in the condition it’s in. I’m hoping it’s not staph, but not counting on it. Not sure if this means I can’t work or not – I think I can’t work at the [...]

Update on infection…
Just giving everyone an update on the whole stomach infection…
It is an infection.
I didn’t need to call the doctor for that one, but man did it get bad quick!
How it happened though, nearly 3 weeks post-op, is the strange part….

Chronic must mean…
Chronic Illness must mean you’re always sick, right???
I’m so fed up with half of my family, I could just move out of state and never talk to them again. Why?
Occasion One: Ghost Rally. My Cousin asks the can who’s going into the Haunted House. My SISTER speaks up, “She can’t go because the strobe lights [...]

Getting Somewhere
My visit went very well this morning with the nurse midwife at my gyno’s.
I was very pleased.
She agreed that my hormonal levels needed to be checked. She was appauled by Susan’s comments, as I was hoping she would be. She seems like a reasonable person. She said if it turns out not to be hormonal, [...]

Agony
I’m in agony…
Jeanne… maybe you can help me, cause no one else is?
I am still having heart palpitation with warm flushes in my face and crying jags! It’s been over a week now since the surgery and since they didn’t take my ovaries, I’m confused as to why I’m going through this! Is this normal? [...]
