The Words Beneath My Fingertips

I haven't seen my PCP since...I don't even know when. It was a long time ago. So we had about 100 million things to catch up on for my physical today. I had to get bloodwork done prior to this appointment, and the results were pathetic- but it's all my fault. See I was really really really good abotu taking my vitamins every day (minus a small moratorium after my friend died) until December, when our flight was canceled and we couldn't get home for 4 days. Since then, I was good about taking my Prilosec, but the others...yeah. I was lazy. Well now I'm anemic (despite the fact I DO eat things rich in iron, but OK) and all my vitamin levels are deficient again, so not only do I gotta restart, but I have to up my dosage to double. AND with my anemia, just my little Flintstones vitamins + iron (which WAS doing the trick) apparently won't anymore, soooooo I have to take this god forsaken elixir. It's just a teaspoon, but because it has "teeth staining ag

I am so damn tired of being in pain. I swear it gets worse all the time. Now it's everywhere in my lower abdominal area. It lasts for days on my left front/left back area (the tumor's on the back, but since it's on the nerve, it radiates to the front) and then I go in 'remission' for a day, then it's full blast on my right side, and sometimes it radiates from my right side (thought it's more my right lower front if that makes sense, near the pelvis) AND in my left back area. AND THEN MY HEARTBURN GOES BAD. Prilosec is supposed to reduce stomach acids- so TWO a day should help, but noooo. For pain, I could take 2 650 mg Tylenol and sometimes it HELPS but the pain is still there. It usually takes about 20 minutes for it to HELP so I can...well...go on with my life and then BOOM it come back 45 minutes later, and I can't take another dose for 4 hours. On Wednesday this happened in class and I almost passed out, and I actually took the pain pills one hour ea

So my husband and I (well, I did, and forced my husband onto this) made a New Year's Resolution to "do something we've never done before once a month". This is what we've done so far: January- buy a waffle press February- redecorate our bathroom (I admit, we did these two things the same day, only because the latter part of January consisted of me being SO DAMN SICK, but we would have bought the waffle press had I not been sick) March- went to Providence (for our anniversary) since we've never been there before April- we got certified to do CPR! For the CPR class, I was accosted by a student in one of the main lobbies of one of the main buildings where I work (oooh to be so....descriptive) to sign up, and it seemed great, so I signed up and dragged the Hubs into it as well. I am so glad I did. The tutorial movie we had to watch was SOMEWHAT lame, but it was SO great at showing us how to do everything step by step. Many people seemed to have fu
