Taking Charge

I finally broke down and made an appointment with the pain management doctor. This time, I WILL be going. I was supposed to go in November originally and had to cancel twice. I do hope that the doctor is smart enough to realize that back surgery is not an option for me. I will not [...]

So, we’re all aging, right? Right. Here’s the thing, I’m 35 and I’m starting to feel twice my age. I think that a lot of it is because I spend most of my time caring for my mother. Thankfully we haven’t had to worry about Alzheimer’s care for her. She’s of solid mind, which makes [...]

I’ve begun the process again of trying to figure out what is wrong with my back. I went to the doctor Monday, after having had a lot of pain over the weekend for no reason. He is sending me for an MRI, which I wasn’t expecting him to say. I was expecting to be told [...]

Too much stress – too much drama – too much everything.My face is broken out bad. As are other places, like my shoulders, back, legs, chest.I have a nasty case of adult acne.Can we have life settle down yet? Please? I want this to end.My stomach is currently revolting against me as well and I’m [...]

I’m not witty enough for a subject line today. I’ve been out flat with a lovely head cold for the last 3 days. On top of the stomach virus that’s still lingering. Can I please get well? I felt mostly alright today, but still really tired and ugh. I’ve spent the majority of my time [...]

I am not well at all. I’ve got some nasty stomach virus. Fantastic. My weight is up, my blood pressure is up, my depression levels are up. I’m stressing myself out. I need to stop.Steps must be taken. Meals must be prepared at home. From good, quality, produce and meat.Stress levels must be minimized. This [...]

Omg I’m so bloody sick it’s not even funny. I’d feel better if I could throw up. Seriously. Ironically, I’ve pulled the whole ‘finger down the throat’ thing and just gag.God I wish I felt better. I’d be working on finding airport jobs or something. I think I have a touch of food poisoning. I’m [...]

Before i go to the doctor to discuss anything, I read more. I read too much sometime. I don’t know about anyone else. I want to know as much as I can about weight loss pills that work. I want to know the side effects. I want to know what I’m risking if I ask [...]

I’m watching the Rally for Relief at the Australian Open. It’s hilarious. I wish they’d do more events like this. The only other exhibition match I know of is the Arthur Ashe Kids Day one. I wish I could be like they are. Instead, I’m reading about things like adapexin-p. Everyone has a different life, [...]
