  • Journal Entry for March 27, 2008

    Thursday, March 27, 2008 | A Painful story

    I have posted a little on here today, but I just am not up to much. Should I share what I consider to be overtly strange and suspicious to me despite my feeling like crap. Well, I had to go to the ER last night because I just was not able to pee. This had started slowly the day before, which is a complete opposite of my normal all day long ritual. So, I decided despite my best former experiences...

  • Pain, cant take it!

    Wednesday, April 30, 2008 | A Painful story

    I just don't know if I can make it through the day. I am hurting so bad you cant even imagine. Not only do I have the abdominal and pelvic pain, I have bad back pain up into my kidneys, a migraine, nausea, and vomitting.  God Help me please... help me. I keep praying to you and I need help.  Please make it at least bearable.
    I called the specialist and made an appointment and he can...

  • in a not so comfy hospital bed

    Sunday, June 8, 2008

    I'm writing from the hospital bed.  I ended up going to the ER last night around midnight as the pain got so severe I thought that my ankles were broken, my wrist was broken.  It felt horrible.  I had taken a 'ton' of Percocet yesterday already and I was afraid to take more.  So, off we went.
    I was admitted.  My jaw started to jerk last night, so often and tens...

  • I am going through pure hell

    Wednesday, July 9, 2008 | A Painful story

    I feel like total shit. I hate this stent they have inside of me. I feel so violated and I have to pee like every 5 minutes. I am grateful for all the weight I have lost, but it's coming off faster than I'd expected.. My ring that I had to get upsized before the wedding is now at least a size too big. It's barely hanging on, if the bend in my finger wasnt there it'd fall off.
    I fee...

  • An Open Letter

    Friday, July 11, 2008

    Things haven't gone very well for the past month or so.  My ex is lingering with renal cancer and my youngest son is still in Texas with him and his step-mother.
    I've had my ups and downs dealing with this on top of everything else and right now, I'm just a bit sad.  You don't live with another person for 22 years and flip off the feelings like a light switch. 
    Today...

    Tuesday, July 22, 2008 | A Painful story

      I have been waiting for a while and almost avoiding this entry but knowing the way I work if I don't get this out I will continue to keep having all these thoughts run through my head non-stop until I put it down. I have learned that this is a great place for me to vent and to put feelings down that I am feeling and can't quite shake. where to start now is the question, HMMM, well ...
