Dry skin ain't in

Originally posted 2020-01-10 10:00:49. Ok, now that you’ve seen this… Have you ever even heard of it? I found this stuff while watching QVC before Christmas. I love this stuff!! I really do! I use the soap in the shower and just washing my hands! I have honestly used it twice to wash something off my face. This stuff suds so well even with hard water. It’s extremely moisturizing and I don’t automatically feel like…

Yesterday’s Pain

Originally posted 2021-06-03 08:56:32. I had an appointment with a massage therapist yesterday. This is the second time I have seen this therapist. She worked on alot of areas but also worked on the massive amount of scar tissue in my abdomen. She worked on it so much I have had to lather my abdomen with my cbd massage melt and my cbd muscle rub. 😩 This is pretty much the first time someone has…

To B**** or Not to B****

Originally posted 2020-01-07 21:33:02. View this post on Instagram Ughh – a week from now I have the first of 2 surgeries in hopes they can fix some issues in my spine. I am starting to get nervous. This will be #surgery number 25 ( or 26 hell I am losing count lol) alot to some, a fraction to others. This surgery will help with my #spinalstenosis and decompress some areas in my spine. I…

I am still walking, breathing, talking, and I’m ok with that.

Originally posted 2014-04-23 13:35:05. Ok, from the first time I got sick, to the first surgery to the last. They all were needed for something. After 19 surgeries…let’s see. One of the bigger ones was the spinal fusion. November 2004. Went to the doctor for a CT/MRI follow-up. He tells me…you broke your spine. I literally thought he was playing. I mean come on. You are still walking and can feel yet you are telling…

What Title?

Originally posted 2019-12-30 07:38:22. Yeah, I wasn’t in a mood to try to figure out a fitting title this morning. As I sit here waiting for my pain medications to kick in I was just thinking. Though that’s hard for some of us natural blonde’s 😉 It started in 2017. My husband lost his grandmother so we went to Tampa to be with family. To celebrate her life, the matriarchal legacy. Even though I knew…

Rollercoaster Ride

Originally posted 2022-12-31 12:57:18. This past week and some change has been a wild one. Started on the night of the 22nd and as of right now still lingering. I woke up to my husband throwing up and wailing in pain. It was odd because it was the same exact pain and complaints from the last time he ended up in the emergency room. The last ER visit didn’t result in a diagnosis, which worried…

Here’s what’s next

Originally posted 2019-11-19 19:40:50. Went to the neurosurgeon yesterday morning. For one the radiology facility didn’t make sure they put all films on the disc, ughh. The PA even said they normally do not have to specify to put all films on a disc but I guess someone decided to do it their own way, who knows. I just have to get the other films on disc and give them to him next appointment. Get…

You funny doc

Originally posted 2021-03-24 09:23:59. I go to my follow-up doctors appointment yesterday. This was to get results of a bunch of tests that were run to see if I had a blood disorder that may explain why I keep having mini-strokes. I had my ninth mini-stroke in February. So, the doctor proceeds with the appointment and tells me all my tests came back negative. YAY right?! Which I’m glad because had I tested positive for…

I had another one

Originally posted 2021-03-06 09:00:00. Ughhh… So I had another mini-stroke/TIA. This makes number 9. My regular has decided to send me to a specialist to see if there is something more going on. I get a call from a doctors office telling me they got a referral from my doc and needed to schedule an appointment. Then something caught my ear… I had her repeat where she was from. I heard the word ONOCOLOGY… my…

It’s Back Again

Originally posted 2019-10-25 11:00:14. I had to go see a new neurosurgeon. They needed new MRI, CAT, Xrays, and all the work. Done most of that. I started physical therapy yesterday. Funny thing is she is the same physical therapist my husband had for his knee. So working with her was easy. Now that I have had the new films I am eager to see the surgeon to know whether or not they will be…
