  • Birthday cake and an impending birth.......

    Thursday, April 10, 2008 | A Rambling story

    The stone that I thought I passed a week or so ago has still not been born!  It's stuck.  I got sicker than hell Monday and went back to the doctor.  She said my urine was full of blood and pus.......UGH!  I got an antibiotic shot and a shot of demerol+phenergan.  She gave me a Rx of Mepergan (thank GOD) because I've spent the last 2 days on the couch in complete ...

  • When you reach the bottom there is only one way to go

    Tuesday, July 29, 2008 | A Rambling story

    The group did not play for the fund raiser of the women who was shot by her husband.  The organizers for some reason moved in into a bar and then had a poker run to go with it.  One of the members of my husband's group is just 17 and they did not want to take him into that atmosphere plus them being gospel bluegrass that might not have turned out too well.  We did not have chur...

    A few years ago I started talking with a man I met off of a personals site. We completely hit it off! We chatted quite a bit...talked on the phone for quite a while and then we finally met...OMG...there was a spark, a chemistry...The kind of first date that makes you think about what life could be .. and then I broke it off with him...I gave him several reasons why I couldn't see him anymore....

  • The Mirror

    Sunday, November 23, 2008


    Have you ever stood in front of the mirror and really looked at yourself? I don't mean the times you spend there putting on your makeup, doing your hair, or brushing your teeth. I mean the times when you looked at every wrinkle, every enlarged pore, the blue, black bags under your eyes, the little bit of turkey neck that wasn't there yesterday, and the grey slowly creeping into your hair.

    Here is to yet another year! I am so very much looking forward to it. I haven't made any resolutions as I only seem to disappoint myself with them. Too many people set unrealistic goals in the hopes of achieving them, only to kick their own asses when we aren't able to see them through. I guess my resolution is to resolve to let things be. hmmm..oxy moron? LOL... I do know that...

  • Nervous and Scared and Excited

    Friday, January 30, 2009 | A Rambling story

    Ok so I couldn't wait to get my period so we could try again.  Now as it is winding down I am getting nervous and scared and excited.  I want a baby so badly but the fear of going through another miscarriage at times takes my breath away.  We are definitely going forward with IUI this month but it makes me nervous thinking about the what ifs.
    My husband told me when I was t...

  • I am very thankful

    Thursday, February 5, 2009 | A Rambling story

    You know how sometimes we look at our life and think we have it so bad.  Whatever the problem it always seems like everyone else gets what they want and you get nothing.   Well, after reading so many posts and journals of the women on this site I realize I really don't have anything to complain about.
    I have a good man and family.  I have friends who try to be there fo...

    I don't even know why I'm writing this.
    Maybe it makes me feel a little better. 
    Well, my mom said she is going to try and make me an appointment for the doctor Monday.
    I'm scared.
    I'm really scared.
    I feel like crying.
    I don't want to be diagnosed with something else, too. 
    That's like, the scariest thing to me.
    I can't live with anything else.

  • Good news/bad news!

    Wednesday, October 14, 2009 | A Rambling story

    So today I get the excellent news that my ALT is down to 26 - lowest in 15 years - a normal liver.  Now I just need time to let the liver regenerate itself, and hopefully the last of the mouth sores will leave soon.  Only 2 weeks on Sulfasalzine, and one week off mthx.  Awesome, I wish I had done this years ago.
    Bad news is the ENT sent a note to my family doc, and he does NOT think...
