So today I put everything in bags to go home tomorrow (literally the only window to even make it back at this point and pray Friday's snow storm doesn't come early). And then my father and I went to see my uncle. His roommate is a very lonely man (and honestly I'm not sure why he's not in assisted living vs full care because he doesn't seem in ( Read more... )

Give or take a couple weeks. Best news I could hope for. She was also good at listening to me. It's very possible the complete exhaustion I've been feeling is related to the loss of hormones but since my cancer is estrogen sensitive I can't have hormone replacement therapy. It might also be vitamin D or B12 lack so I need a blood test. Also she did ( Read more... )

When the insurance is more aggravating and painful than the speculum exam you know there is a problem. So I gave myself 2 hours to get to the oncologist today (which is only a 75 mile trip, takes usually about an hour and 15 minutes) because I knew there were issues in the Hal Greer corridor (major construction). it wasn't enough. They had work ( Read more... )

I got to Hillbilly Hotdog for lunch and managed to pick up my pull list before getting to the oncologist. So yeah Caball hasn't even HEARD of the shit insurance we're switching to so it's probably a good bet I have to switch oncologists. Right now he has me coming back in 6 months but seeing my usual OB/GYN in 3 months to give me time to work on ( Read more... )

Today nothing went right. One of my international cards came back for no reason, nothing stamped on it, addy is right (It's Darkstar's and we've been exchanging cards forever and I double checked it) but I forgot to stop at the post office. Forgot I needed to go to Kroger's until the last minute. Found a giftcard on the couch NOT in the package I ( Read more... )

about myself is one of my stress reactions is to get angry. extremely angry. ugly angry. I'm there right now. Everything is irritating me and everything is likely to set me off in spite of me trying not to give in to that rage. Honestly that line of Bruce's from The Avengers 'I'm always angry.' resonates way too well for me. Sigh ( Read more... )

So I decided I was going to Winterfest in Portsmouth as I've never been and I saw that article about it being used for multiple Hallmark Holiday movies. I got started later than I wanted to. Then going from the university out there the road is very narrow, hilly and WINDY. So what should have been a 30 minute drive was over an hour because I got ( Read more... )

It was a long Christmasy day in the not-fun way. What should have been a quick trip to Jackson turned out to be four hours... okay one was me having a nice christmassy drink at my coffee house but not writing much on what SHOULD be an easy fandomtrees story ( Read more... )

Today I went in early to meet with the head of nursing but I should have looked at my email before work because she got sick. Ah well, gave me time to go to the dean's holiday party and she had a candy bar so naturally my diabetic butt dragged off a bag of candy ( Read more... )
