So sorry for the lack of updates. Over the past few weeks, I have been to doctors appointments, and have been sent for numerous tests including yet another CT Scan and a upper GI scan (to try to rule out other possible causes for my extreme nausea.) The GI doctor suspects the one bigger hernia […]
My Updates: Well this pain thing is really getting to me. Both hernias are bothering me a LOT. I can’t sit or stand long or I get dizzy and sick to my stomach. I think this is going to be one of the longest holiday seasons I have even experienced. But I’m hanging in. Thank goodness
This week was filled with doctors visits. I saw the endocrinologist on Tuesday. He confirmed the Grave’s Disease, and explained my options. At this point, I am on medication to regulate things. Unfortuntely, this is only a temporary fix. The fix will get me steady enough to have the adrenal surgery, and then a more
Me: Well, I just spent the last part of Sunday, and most of the overnight portion into Monday, in the emergency room. It started out as sharp pains in my right side early Sunday morning. I had just traveled with my parents and Sierra to pit-stop at my brother’s house. We were just going to go

I am, again, really sorry to not have updated this in a while. A lot has been happening since the last time I posted anything. MEDICAL UPDATES The foot: As previously stated, I did start physical therapy and went through about 3 weeks of this. Many setbacks happened during this time. The ankle kept popping during
Just another “not so often” update. 🙂 I wore the foot brace/boot for a month. When I went to the follow up, I ended up being told I have to wear the brace for another month. I started my first round of physical therapy today, and it went well. I just hope I don’t have
I know, I know, the updates are getting few and further between. For once, not all of this update will be about me. Yes, another member of my family is being plagued with medical problems now, too. As I mentioned in my last posting, my foot got the MRI. At the follow-up with the orthopedic

Yeah, I know. I need to write more. 🙂 Well, some good news: I don’t carry the BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene mutations. Yes, I went through the genetic testing. (And yes, the insurance company is actually paying for it!) This pretty much confirmed what I already guessed: that there just isn’t a genetic reason for
Well, I guess it’s about time for some more updates! (I’ve been slacking so much on this!) Gidget went to her new home! Now we still have the cats. The one shelter did not work out, as they are on a freeze until their inspection. I’m currently working with a rescue group, that I’m hoping
