3 THINGS FOR WEDNESPAY!!
Can you tell me issus they are supposed to go away for 28 days??? I am exactly six weeks out from surgery today and have not had a day without it yet... I admit, I used to have to deal more often than not before, but since surgery it has been relentless - and to boot I had a "normal" one last week, cramps and all...
I will be glad to be at a semi normal weight when it all fixes itself!!! I will NOT take anything to stop it again. I am hoping once I make and get an OB/GYN appt, birth control pills might regulate me somewhat...

You and I have discussed this before, so I know why you don't want to take anything to stop it, but just keep in mind that you can VERY quickly become anemic. If you've never been anemic, it is no fun.
I would get dizzy just standing up from a sitting position, and would sometimes have to hold onto the wall as I walked down the hall at work. Also, it will make you feel out of breath at the least bit of exertion, etc.
Anemia is nothing to mess around with, so keep an eye on it. And don't be so sure it'll fix itself, because that's not necessarily true.
Just don't wait until things get so bad that you end up in the hospital, please!!

Anemia is one of my big fears... BUT this is also something my PCP watches closely, and so far I have been good...
I don't bleed most days enough to be anemic, just enough to make my miserable and whiny about it! Lee has become immune to my whining, and this is something I can tell just anyone LOL

Tia: Congrats on KB's scholastic successes! My children never had academic success. I hope your dental problems soon become a thing of the past. Now you have me thinking about the colonic cleansing... wondering if it just might be a good idea to eat enough SF products to force myself to purge.
Darla: Wishing you well with your ablation. The baby shower sounds like fun. The card was very creative; I'm sure it's adorable. Isn't it funny how the things that we might take for granted we feel lost without when they are not around? Thank goodness you can now get online from home again!
Nic: A handyman is always a blessing to have... means there are enough funds to pay for him and not have to do it yourself! Woot woot!
Deb: Your pool workout sounds really nice. I need to find something in my world to help ease some of the work related stress I've been under lately. I woke up this morning with my neck, shoulders and head all tight and tense. I think I'm going to schedule a massage for Sunday.
Sylvia: I must have your husband's twin... because I so get what you are saying. Each and every day, I am so thankful for my Pete. He is the best thing that's happened to me other than my children!
Mercedes: Yay for the rain with hopes that it washes out this nasty pollen! I'd like to continue the ability to breathe normally again! I am beginning to wonder if I should start sleeping with my CPAP again.
Jenn: I can related to those AWFUL hormones. Hope you feel better soon.
Today, I'm grateful for:
1. The ability to get out of my funk enough to be able to spend a few moments on here and see how my OH family is doing.
2. Family and the fact that my oldest son is NOT going to be moving in with me. He has found a nice place to live downtown with a friend. Hopefully a job will be his next step. I'm having dinner with him and his "friend/roomate" tomorrow.
3. Regardless of how stressed out I am with my job, I am VERY grateful that I have it and the ability to pay the neverending pile of bills.
Hope everyone has a beautiful day!

"The difference between try and triumph is just a little umph!"
No no no! Purge as in a colonic purging! Maybe purge isn't the right word... was looking for a nice word to keep the nasty visuals away. Guess I didn't do a good job of that.
I will call in the next couple of weeks if I don't begin to feel better. "I got the bluuuuues baby."
