  • Total Loss

    Monday, August 31, 2009 | A Tragic story

    My mom's house is gone ~ along with about 60 other homes & buisnesses. There is nothing left. I can't even believe it. We watched it burn on the news. I watched my mom's house go up in flames. What do you say to something like this?
    Thank God she got out. I think we lost my cat but my parents got out. All those memories are gone.....I am in shock.

  • 6 Weeks!

    Tuesday, September 2, 2008

    I am 6 weeks today. I am still feeling sick. I am now averaging once or twice a day getting sick. I do much better if I remain very still for at least an hour after I eat.  I wake with DH in the AM around 6ish to get my shot, fall back to sleep about an hour later, wake around 10, shower around noon, nap by 2 (for 3 hours on average), unable to gain the strength to do much. By the time DH ge...

  • Ignorant People!

    Saturday, February 28, 2009 | A Venting story

    I am not sure how many of you are familiar with Facebook, but recently I had several friends tell me to join, so I did. Well, I found a girl, Kristy, that was one of my best friends for many years. Actually the girl I mentioned in my last post (Jeni) and Kristy & I...well, we were the three musketeers in high school. When I got sick...Kristy kind of neglected me. I was in the hospital for 36 ...

  • LIMBO IS A CRAPY PLACE!!!

    Tuesday, September 23, 2008 | A Sad story

    I am really starting to go crazy!!! My RE just called & my beta is down from 3167 to 935. It is certainly moving in the right direction, but not as fast as I want it to. She asked if I am ok...I told her no! I just want it to be over! How can you move on when this won't ever seem to end? They (my RE & OB) are concerned about going ahead with a D&C...they think it might be too...

  • ...waiting...?!?!

    Thursday, May 29, 2008 | An Anxious story

    Now that we have chosen a donor I am waiting to find out if she is available.
    I spoke to the nurse today & she is trying to get a hold of the potential donor.
    Apparently this girl also donates at another agency in this area so we are not sure if she is even available.
    If she isn't I will probably be looking into another donor....I am not waiting another six months.
    If she isn't availa...

  • She brought tears to my eyes!

    Saturday, May 10, 2008 | A Sad story

    Yesterday at work I had one of the saddest patients ever. 25 years old & dying of cancer. She had been having abdominal pain for months, maybe years, but because she is a large girl & did not have good insurance she got the run around. Finally her appendix ruptured & they took her to surgery where they found her abdomen full of cancer....it is everywhere! They closed her up &...

  • We all get older!

    Wednesday, March 12, 2008

    Last Friday was my DH's nonna's b-day (Italian grandma) she called to thank us for the flowers that we sent but we weren't home at the time. My DH called her back about 2hrs later & she had no clue who he was! The look on his face was devastating to me. She has alzheimer's & my DH has never really believed it before. I tried explaining that she is worse as the night goes o...
