Living out loud in the Carolinas

Category: health

  • There’s something about my family that makes us resistant to anesthesia.  So when we get it we need it in large, strong doses or we will wake up during procedures.  I was really nervous about my Upper GI Endoscopy because my sister woke up during hers and FREAKED.  But who wouldn’t when you wake up…

  • I’ve got my upper GI thing in less than 10 hours.  I’m more nervous about this than I was about my hysterectomy.  Something about shoving tubes down my throat. I’m not going to be able to do puggie Halloween cards this year.  Just not enough time or money in the budget.  But I WILL do…

  • So CSP took me to my appointment today for my upper gi endoscopy.  They took my vitals and asked the standard questions like when was the last time I ate or drank.  So I answered them.  And that’s when the trouble started.  When they scheduled my procedure the girl told me no eating within 3…

  • Sunday night I started not feeling so well.  By Monday night I had a full blown miserable cold.  Coughing, sneezing, fever, sweats, congestion, sore throat.  Then my sickness ate my brain.  Yesterday I drug my wretched body upstairs for a lay down.  I was just about to put on my CPAP mask when I heard…

  • This weekend was all kinds of interesting.  Friday night I went out to dinner with some girlfriends.  Saturday and Sunday I was sick to my stomach all day long.  I went on a mini road trip, met some fabulous people, and got the go ahead on a major project that unfortunately I can’t tell you…

  • I am a planner. I make lists. The lists are everywhere. My lists have lists. But things don’t always work out. This was a funky week. Seemed that something was just off with quite a few of those closest to me. And then I fell. Slipped in my bathroom. I always wear my non slip…

  • So my throat & my head has been hurting again.  I went to the dr today and guess what?  Double ear infections and a sinus infection again.  They don’t know what’s wrong.  She thinks it’s allergies.  I don’t know.  I’m just tired of not feeling well! Back to Target we went for more prescriptions.  Let’s…

  • I clench my teeth at night and I’ve been using store bought bite/night/teeth guards but I’ve still been getting mega headaches. So I went to the dentist and they made impressions and sent them off to the lab to make me a new bite guard. I went in to get it fitted when the lab…

  • CSP likes his blanket.  Good thing, since you can’t un-cut! In other news….guess who can walk up and down stairs now like a big girl?  Zoe?  Nope, me!  I haven’t been able to go up and down stairs like a normal person for a year because of my knee.  Now I don’t have to take…

  • I’m really tired of being cooped up. More tired of being on these funky meds. They make my head all swimmy (like I’m right in the middle of a big night of margarita drinking) and my hands are all shaky. Which sucks, cause I was hoping I could get some projects done (painting & jewelry)…
