For health

Last day of July and I am ready for tomorrow.

My body has not been the same since late 2009,
and I seriously feel and think that my untreated dental infection (that I didn’t know until recently that I have had for years and years) just went on and on & with my immune system at risk in late 2009 (with the weight loss) and then with my gallbladder removal surgery, I think that it got into my bloodstream and caused the chaos that has been my life since then. I was HORRIBLY bad off in 2010… it was so, so bad.. and even into 2011. I’m still not well. The symptoms I have went through match almost exactly to the infection that occurs in the body from bacteria getting into the blood.

We’ll see what tomorrow brings. Ready to be at full health again and MOVE FORWARD with my life!

Waiting, waiting

Today was uneventful really. Laundry, turned in my college paper, and am just waiting on Wednesday to get here then I can finally get my health sorted. Just one more day!

Just gotta hold onto faith, pray, and be patient.

Gonna do the usual tonight…. Katie’s gonna go to bed then I’m gonna watch Dawson’s Creek reruns. Just so anxious…

Thankful notes

I just wanted to say I’m thankful. Thankful for my church, Brad and Katie, my family, and for EVERYTHING Heavenly Father has given me. The Gospel means EVERYTHING to me. Church went well this morning and Katie did good – thank goodness. After we got home and Katie went down for nap, I did my college quiz and my mini math paper. I felt a bit tired afterwards, so I went and laid down and took a nap. Katie got back up, I got ready, walked over to Mom’s and hung out like usual for a Sunday evening.

Ready to finish eating, check out some blogs, then guess what? More Dawson’s Creek reruns!! Yes please. Goodnight!

Calm passage

“God promises a safe landing, not a calm passage. If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.” I know Heavenly Father has helped me through these last few years and all the troubles I’ve had with my body. I’m so thankful, grateful, and blessed.

Wellllllll, cleaned house this morning and called Mom later to see if she wanted to keep Katie, but she was really tired so not today. I eventually put Katie down for a nap and went to take a nap myself. Woke up with pain… ugh. Not good. Decided we wanted to go just wander around the mall, so my neighbor said she would watch Katie. We browsed stores, ate at Subway, then stopped by Wal-Mart for a few things. I ate stuff I usually don’t eat and it made me hurt. Again, should have known better!!! Cannot wait to get my body straight. Few more days until Wednesday!!! I’m about to get a shower, and then relax and watch more Dawson’s Creek reruns.

Hope everyone has a great night!

Pain…

Ugh. =( Yea, things for me are not good health wise. Let’s just say I was in so much pain this morning that I cried. Wednesday needs to get here fast… I didn’t do much of anything today except lay around. I’ve had pain like that in the past, too. It seems it’s the same cycle of symptoms and I’m really ready to get it taken care of.

We went shopping this evening and Katie went to bed. Now time to relax and watch more DC’s reruns. Hope your Friday night is great!

Another day

Ummm today? Laundry! Me and Katie just hung out this morning and then I went to visit my neighbor for a bit after I ate lunch. Came back, did this-that, and Brad came home eventually. His back is still hurting pretty badly, so yeah. My neighbor actually gave him some more meds.

Of course I haven’t felt well, but I never do. Just counting down the days till next Wednesday. My neighbor wanted Katie to come over this evening, so she went over there and we went to the store to buy a few things. Came home, put away the things we bought, and went to get Katie. Brad just bathed and put her to bed. I feel queasy, again. So tired of that. Gonna heat up my dinner, take a bath & shave, then watch more reruns of Dawson’s Creek.

Hope everyone has a good night!

Not welll

I just want to be better…

Not a very eventful day, besides college work.

I also talked to Mom on the phone this afternoon. No gym again, since Brad’s back is still bad off. Plus, I shouldn’t be at the gym either. Think I’m gonna go to the ER next Wednesday when our insurance kicks in to get my blood tested for blood poisioning — I think I’ve had it all along because I let that infected tooth go untreated for way too long. All the symptoms line up to everything I’ve suffered and still have some of the symptoms even now. Not something to play around with. I was WAY bad off in 2010.. I’m very lucky nothing worse happened (or has happened!), but again I was suffering terribly back then. If I do have infection in my blood then I would assume I’d need to get that taken care of before I could get the root canal. My body is deffo messed up… =(

I’m gonna get this sorted and I’m going to get my body better.

Owe, my head

Why do I eat things that make me feel bad? Sigh… my head hurts pretty bad right now. Gonna take some meds and hopefully that will help. Just ready to get rid of this infection once and for all.

Things accomplished today? Watched new Secret Life episode, cleaned the bath tub, cleaned our rat’s cage, worked on one of my college discussions for the week, sorted through our art drawer, cleaned Katie’s table + the wall by her table, andddd those were the main things! Brad came home and said his back was a bit worse. My neighbor let us borrow her heating pad, so Brad is gonna use that and she also let us have some ibprofen. Since his back was really hurting, we decided to not go to the gym today.

This evening after Katie ate dinner, I was gonna take her on a walk outside. Well, we sat on the potty and I came to help her wipe and she got down, pulled up her panties, and I told her we were gonna go on a walk. By the time we walked down the hall, SHE SOAKED HER PANTIES. There was no reason for her to do that?! Besides maybe that she did it because she didn’t get to go to my neighbor’s like usual.

Anyway, I’m gonna eat dinner and chill out.

Sorting it out

Ummm let’s see. This morning I turned in my college paper, started laundry, and cancelled my appointment with the other dentist I thought I was gonna go to before I found the new one. After lunch, me and Katie went with my neighbor and I went into my dentist’s office and made sure to let the receptionist know I wanted my dentist to know that I have had the dental infection since 2006, since I don’t think that got across at my appointment. I asked if the 2 rounds of antibiotics would be enough to kill off the infection so the endodontist could do the root canal on August 2nd and she said yes, but if it’s not gone when I go then he’ll give me more antibiotics. However, my issue is that looking at what I faced in 2010 and some of the symptoms even till now… it all sounds exactly like the infection got into my blood = blood infection, aka bacteria in my blood. I’m wondering if the antibiotics will help that? Once the infection is gone from my tooth, will that get rid of all the other symptoms from the blood infection? OR do I have to go to an medical doctor and get different meds for that? I dunno. I guess I’ll have to wait and see. Anyway. After the stop at the dental office, went to Publix to pick up my 2nd round of antibiotics and my neighbor got a few things. Of course Katie did NOT want to get out of the kid shopping cart and go home. We came back and Katie went down for her nap…. protesting of course!

After my lunch and she went down I finished my cleaning that I didn’t get to on Saturday and folded the laundry. After Brad got home, Katie went to my neighbor’s and we went to the gym. However, we only did a warmup and then Brad wasn’t gonna do anymore, since he messed up his back running on Saturday. I did a few leg exercises and then felt queasy.. like I do sometimes. I know it’s from the infection. Sigh. We decided to head out and go to Wal-Mart. Bought some stuff and came back. Put Katie to bed and now here I am.

Yea… not really anything else to say. I’m out.

9 years

FIRST — Want to say HAPPY 9 YEAR DATING ANNIVERSARY TO ME AND MY LOVIE! 9 years ago today, he sent me an e-card with one of the South Park characters surrounded in hearts, asking if I would go out with him, lol. I love him. Now, for a FACT-tacular post about my Sunday.

FACT 1: Brad went to wake me up at 6:15AM… however, when I woke up it was 7:35AM! AHHH. He said he tried to wake me up and couldn’t, lol. We made it to church during the opening song. Shew.

FACT 2: Katie finally showed out well enough for me to prove my point. I took the car keys from Brad, walked out with her (with her protesting the whole way), went to the car, gave her a spat on the butt, then made her sit in the carseat. She threw a tantrum for a good bit then finally calmed down enough for me to take her back in, let her use the bathroom then go sit back with Brad. We’ll see if that does anything for next week.

FACT 3: I went into Katie’s class at church because she had to give a “talk”.. basically, last week I wrote down a short “talk” on reverence for her to repeat in front of the other kids today. Heh. She did really well and even recited the 1st Article of Faith all on her own in front of everyone! The teachers were impressed.

FACT 4: I ate too much oatmeal. It doesn’t make me feel “bad” like it used to, but my body still doesn’t like it and I get puffy, since I know it still causes inflammation from the dental infection in my blood, so no more oatmeal until I’m sure I’m in the clear. Ugh, I hate feeling puffy. I drink my amino energy stuff after I got home and it REALLY HELPED me feel good the rest of the day, WOOOOOOO.

FACT 5: Got my college stuff done!!! *dance dance* Then walked over to hang out with my Mom tonight and had a fabulous time. I came home, talked to my neighbor, came back home to eat and now it’s time to probably watch more DAWSON’S CREEK RERUNS… I’m totally sucked back in! =)
