Another bad night with Pixie needing to go out/drink gallons/go out. Apparently I didn't hear her in time because when I got annoyed at her having to go out 35 mins after I just let her out, I stepped into the proof. Barefoot. In the dark. Many naughty words were said. It's not that specifically that makes me say I need to get this checked, but ( Read more... )

The med I'm taking causes dry mouth, dry eyes, dry nose...that answers the bleeding. And it's really not bad - and I feel like the med is helping - so it's all good.

Remembered not to feed the dogs this morning, so I can take Pixie to the vet for her tests - it's amazing how they can make me feel bad by lying there staring at me resentfully...

I just read that a friend I made here on LiveJournal passed away on Friday.  I feel very hollow.  Although she did not share the same issues as me physically (nor I her), she "got" me in ways many don't - she lived every day with pain, with depression, yet she soldiered through, there for her family, her coworkers, her beautiful dogs - she was SO ( Read more... )

 Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional. - Dalai Lama

I'm pretty frustrated that I have yet to hear back from the doctor in any way, shape or form.  I'm trying to stay positive, but the pain is not gone, it is waking me up at night, and it seems to be spreading.  I'm noticing issues breathing as well, asthma type symptoms of tightness and ( Read more... )
