Back To Semi-Normal Programming . . .

Thanks to those of you who read up on my trials and tribulations here and commented both publically and privately.  I appreciate the kind words and thoughts a prayers.  Here is a oh-so-quick update:
I have no diagnosis still.  I have added yet another drug to my daily stack-o-pills and so far it seems to be [...]

It’s Not a Tumah

Which I suppose I should be really happy about.  It is also not an apparent aneurysm, which is again a good thing.  But I have had pain non-stop for 18 days and an inconclusive MRI/MRA really doesn’t help me much at all.
Let me start by saying that I deal with pain pretty well.  I have [...]

Stuff About Me

My good friend over at Round World Through Square Glasses did this (for-freakin-ever ago) and mentioned me so, since I have not done something like this anything in a while and since I have been a very, very bad, bad blogger recently, I’m gonna do it too.  It’s what all the cool kids are doing.
Favorite [...]

Chosen

Several months ago, our clinic received some posters and post-cards that told of an event coming to Columbus in July of 2008.  The Lance Armstrong Foundation will hold The LIVESTRONG Summit at OSU this summer.  They accepted applications for Delagates and 1,000 people were chosen.
I was one of them.
I am honored and thrilled and overwhelmed [...]

I Survived My Birthday.

And I mean that quite literally. 
First a little background.  Back when I turned 35 it seemed that my body picked that particular year to fall apart.  I had to have an exploratory laporatomy and was diagnosed with Adenomyosis.  They found that I had a freakisly deviated septum and I had surgery on that.  They also [...]

The Ongoing Saga

So, back to the dentist I went today. The plan was to finish the root canal and get me set up for the crown. Yippee! I also would get a referral to a specialist for a root canal I need on an upper molar, that this dentist cannot do. Progress is [...]

Pain Sucks

Yes, I am still here. No, I haven’t posted in several days. I have made it to work almost every day in the last two weeks, although most days I just want to say in bed all day.
Pain sucks.
Literally, it sucks the life out of you. I have been drained and tired [...]

The Rest of The Story

Now that I am a few days sepereated from my dental appointment, and no longer on Vicodin, and a little more well rested . . I will recap my lovely Saturday.
I have to admit - I have a borderline irrational fear of the dentist. I gave birth to my first child with no meds [...]

She Lives

Holy crap, can my life be any more insane?
On a daily basis I think to myself, “Self, you really need to write some posts. You are a slacker!” Then I decide that I can’t think of anything funny or even sarcastic that interests me, so then I don’t write.
Then I have a series [...]
