FINALLY! An answer - CT Scan IS BACK!

Well what do you know....a test came back and SHOWED SOMETHING!

"Suspicious for gallstones."

Excuse me? "Suspicious?" I've had an ultrasound and a HIDA scan, both came back negative. I have a CT scan with rather unexpected results, and oddly enough, the radiologist recommends "follow up with an ultrasound." AAAAh, the medical profession. We did the ultrasound first, monkey man!

So I asked the nurse "how do we go from suspicious to a confirmation, because ya'll aren't cuttin' on me without a firm diagnosis." - she said the surgeon may want to do additional testing (good gawd, what now). So, I meet with the surgeon on 12/12. Yikes.

My list of lifetime ailments is not impressive - I had my tonsils and wisdom teeth (all 6 - yeah, I'm a freakazoid) out when I was in my 20's, and a kidney stone blasted in early 2000. That's it. So umm..I'm a bit terrified by the prospect of surgery that requires a several week recovery period.

Nonetheless, I'm glad that something finally showed up, so at least my mom knows I"m not completely nuts !

Update on the PIECE OF SHIT that beat my cousin

Hi everyone.

I saw my cousin at Thanksgiving. She looked beautiful. She's very lucky. You'd never know that someone almost killed her with a hammer to the eye a few months back. Her surgeons were incredible. You cant even see any scars.

Now, with regard to the pussy that hit her. The trial starts December 5th. Yes, that's good, but I'm really pissed off....THE MAXIMUM SENTENCE HE CAN BE GIVEN IS 8 YEARS. Minimum 5. 8 YEARS FOR NEARLY KILLING SOMEONE AND BEATING THEM TO WITHIN AN INCH OF THEIR LIVES. Where is the fucking justice in that , especially when the person is a repeat offender - his criminal past would easily use up an entire ream of paper if it were to be printed out. Jackass.

If he is found guilty - which I am hopeful for (this is a jury trial), the judge will hear victim impact statements. Yes, I'm getting my pen ready. That judge will know every sordid detail of what this mother fucker has done to our family. No matter what sentence he receives, he wont be able to get out of jail not one day before which is great. Knowing him, with his lifetime pattern of violence against both men and women, he'll get himself into even more trouble when he's in there and spend even more time being someone's bitch. And I'll be smiling the entire time....

And these are the days of our lives..

My cousin will be joining us for Thanksgiving, he's out of jail on a technicality. Seems he was let go because they didn't catch him stealing ON TAPE.

Guess I'll to lock my purse in my car tomorrow so I'm not robbed blind.

Welcome to our rather typical holiday. Is it any wonder I dread them?

Gawd.

Hi...

Wow..what's up with this? I've felt pretty darned GOOD all weekend! Friday I felt like a gazillion bucks, and yesterday was pretty awesome too! This sure is a turnaround from last weekend, when I had myself convinced I was dying.

Got started on some xmas shopping (which mostly includes making gifts for people this year), AND THE BUCKS BEAT MICHIGAN! I don't understand football (I'll admit it, as a band geek in high school I sat through every game and only learned a touchdown, field goal, and 2 point conversion), but holy shit was it a fun game to watch! A nailbiter right down to the last 30 seconds. Both teams are truly awesome. But, in the end, the better squad came out on top (he he).

Today is another big sports day..THE NASCAR CHAMPIONSHIP will be decided. Talk about another nail biter - my man is Jimmie Johson. If he finishes 12th or better, its all his! Go Jimmie!

Have a great Sunday everybody!

Ding Ding Ding..next round...

...CT Scan next week.

Gyno the following week.

Perhaps an referral to a gastroenterologist somewhere in there, and a mammogram to make sure the girls are OK.

I'm so over this.

For Gawd's sake, back to the doctor...

Lovely, just fucking lovely.

They came back today, the sharp pains that stopped me in my tracks. I can't even fucking believe this. What is wrong with my ASS!!! This is awful. I made an appt with the gyno for later this month, to make sure all my girlie parts are working OK - I'm gonna schedule my 1st mammogram too, since breast cancer runs in my family. Then maybe we can rule that out too.

I think the next step will be a CT scan. Before I had the hida scan, doc said that's what we'd try next if it came back OK..of course it did, so on to the next darned thing I guess...This truly SUCKS. I just wanna feel normal again :(

***************************

Ok, do you believe this shit? Last week at work, someone STOLE MY LUNCH..and the next day..MY TOASTER WAS STOLEN!! Vanished without a trace, not even a bread crumb left behind!!!! I cant believe this shit!!! With all the darned security checks, you'd think they'd manage to NOT HIRE THIEVES! Hell it takes over a year to complete the flipping thing, and still some moron slipped through the cracks. Then, my friend had all the loose change stolen out of her desk...so I started locking my desk too. Not an isolated case either - soon after, a mass email went out telling people to lock their desks at night because of items coming up missing. What a lovely, lovely world we live in. I just hope those people get whats coming to them sooner rather than later....JACKASSES!!!

Day off - IN THE ER!

Today I went to the ER, pretty much as soon as I rolled out of bed. Really out of fear because the pain isnt stopping, also because I just wanted an answer and I felt like things were urgent and coming to a head. Didnt get one. I am the mystery patient. Gall bladder fine, liver, pancreas, all blood work, chest X-ray, all clear. Yesterdays hida scan, clean. Only thing they were able to possibly suggest at this point is neurological or skeletal, because the pain is up into my ribs. Whatever, so now I have a scrip for 800 mg Motrin for the pain and possible inflammation of my chest. I give up. I guess when I collapse then we'll find out what's wrong. I'm done trying! And to add insult to injury, I'm $100 POOR-ER, had to spend $ I didnt really have, to not get an answer, and christmas is coming!

GRRRR.

24 Hour scare and GLOW IN THE DARK POOP!

Hey all.

The past 24 hours have been pretty scary. If you've been following my blog, you know not too long ago I started having abdominal pains. I had a hida scan scheduled for 11/22 - it tests gall bladder function by following this radioactive stuff through it on a screen...pretty cool. Anyways, yesterday at work, I kept having sharp pains that would stop me in my tracks. I ended up crying. I called to see if I could have the test moved up...THANK HEAVENS, they moved me up to TODAY!

So, didnt sleep a wink last night...I'm terrified of needles, and they've got to inject that radioactive crap in me..I was literally shaking this morning, a nervous wreck, and starving because I wasnt allowed to eat anything. Get to the hospital, they decide to do the blood test I have orders for...holy shit...another needle...WELL GUESS WHAT!! I DIDNT PASS OUT!! OR EVEN COME CLOSE! I couldnt believe it! I was soooo proud of myself! So I went right down the hallway to nuclear medicine...YUMMY...2 super cute techs to take care of me...damnit, at least one of them was married..oh well, made for a much more pleasant experience. So I get poked (by the needle silly) again...and the fun begins..for 2 hours. I have to lie there on my back, with this thing over the top of me about 3 inches from my face (the machine silly)...and wait for the magic to happen..at least they had good TV on - Judge Judy, Judge Alex, etc.!! I sure did get tired of being in one position (get your mind out of the gutter) for that long.

The tech actually told me that my gall bladder was fine, no blockages...I guess thats good news, but now we dont know the source of the pain that keeps getting worse. The tech said he bets they'll scan my stomach next. I'll call the doc tomorrow for Plan C....

Now the gross part!!! As soon as I got up from the table, I had to take a shit...like YESTERDAY! It was almost a disaster...I couldnt find a bathroom soon enough! Of course the one nearest to me was CLOSED FOR REPAIRS! What? OH MY LORD! I barely made it...it was dreadful...then I laughed because I thought "I wonder if this shit glows in the dark?" I know it was the stuff they injected into me, cause I hadnt eaten for hours and hours! OOH..its dark here now, maybe I should turn all the lights out and see if I glow! I could save a few bucks on my electric bill...he he....

Kitten Log Cabins

Oh yes, you read the title correctly...KITTEN LOG CABINS!

Thanks to a very dear friend, my Sweetie and Bunny Boo will be keeping warm in style this winter,and for many winters to come! No box with a blanket stuffed in it...they each have their very 4 STAR kitten log cabin!!! The only thing missing is a cabana boy and yoga at dawn.

Can't thank you enough sweetie, I only wish the kids could understand how much someone they've never even snuggled with cares about them...SMOOCHES!

Bad Boob Job....make that HORRIBLE Boob Job!

Today boys and girls, I want to tell you about one of the worst boob jobs I've ever seen. Even though these boobs are AWFUL to the "n"th degree, I keep looking at her because she has a hot snatch and SHE'S BEAUTIFUL. I try to block them out of the picture using the awesome power of the human mind, but they're impossible to ignore. THEY'RE GIGANTIC.

This girl was one of the hottest ladies I'd ever laid eyes on. Bedroom eyes, beautiful silky hair, rockin' body, perky little boobies, super hot photos. Well one day, she reappears with "THEM." (I really should make a horror movie about them, they warrant it). I was shocked. I thought well, maybe they're still swollen.. they're not. They are like cantelopes stuck onto her chest...truly. They're too big for her teeny little frame - and they honestly look like they're going to explode and put someone's eye out - or even render them unconscious. They look like you could stick a pin in them, and they'd pop like overfilled balloons. I'd be afraid to touch them because of the possible physical risks involved!

No, I'm not going to tell you who it is - It's not nice, and its just my opinion. All that matters is that she likes them and her man likes them. Cant say I know what its like to long for bigger love pillows, since I've always had an overabundance myself. But why would you turn yourself into what looks like a cartoon character? Girl, I"d be booking myself an appt with a new surgeon. You could have spent your thousands much better elsewhere.

This site is full of bad celebrity boob jobs - geesh, you'd think that with all their loot they could at least get a decent RACK!
