Very lovely thought. -
I has new post for you to read :)
I have gone 'private.'
I have gone private for various reasons. If you are not on my friends list and would like to be added please let me know.
In other news... things seem to be looking upward for me since Friday. I am still having my good days and bad days. I went to see my doctor and he has given the okay for physical therapy. I am excited about that. Yesterday I didn't have a good day. I started having severe pain from the muscle spasms I am having and so I took this new medicine they had giving me for the pain, and well I had some horrible side effects that caused me to have to stop taking the medicine per doctors orders. (that was so a run-on sentence.)We were concerned that I was about to have to go the ER last night but thankfully I didn't. Anyway so all MRI's I have had in last month are all good. What is causing my pain is muscle spasms and what is causing my migraines that I was having is muscle spasms and tension. But I believe we have my migraines under control now with new medicine.
So as for now we are taking one day at a time and thanking God that nothing serious is wrong.
About me becoming private, if you haven't added me as a friend or I haven't then you will get a message on my page saying I haven't posted. But I have, so please let me know if you want to be added. I hope you all have a great week and a great Holiday coming up. God bless you all.
One last thing please keep Derek,Amber, in your prayers during this time. Thank you.

True Meaning Of Friendship!
Fortify yourself with a flock of friends! You can select them at random, write to one, dine with one, visit one, or take your problems to one. There is always at least one who will understand, inspire, and give you the lift you need at the time.

:) friends are the best!! -

it was nice meeting you when i was in austin. Hope to see you again sometime!! -
Thanks! It is such an awesome thing to be an aunt! I really like your post too! What would we do without friends?!?! :) -
:) Friends are great.
-
I have such great friends! I love it and so lucky! -
Here's my favorite friend quote: A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and can sing it back to you when you've forgotten the words. :) -
i need to talk to you about some things that happened today! i am so sorry that i didn't call you back! it was pretty crazy and i felt like i was going to have a nervous breakdown...i guess that is when i SHOULD have called you bc you could have really helped! i wish you weren't feeling so badly. i will pray for you!
-
We are planning on making a trip to Austin in the next few weeks. I delivered a meal to Katherine & the family recently & they filled me in on everything. Thanks for the b-day wish.

awww, I'm sorry the instillation treatment didn't help. I'm surprised you had pain afterwards. The Marcaine usually has a nice numbing effect. I sure hope the bladder distention helps. That's got to be a frustrating problem :( I'll be thinking about you this week♥ -
Thank you. We are glad to be home and were trying to get adjusted to our new little guy. One week down and we're all still smiling! :) -
Thank you! Hope you have a good week!

He is trying to trade his playstation for tickets!! we can't afford to buy them, but we will trade!;) it would be so nice to go to dinner and then the concert with ya'll! we will see. it's not TOO promising, but just maybe!;)
Why Do People Do The 'Bad Stuff" That Is Harmful To Themselves Rather Than The "Good Stuff" That is Helpful?
The short list on "bad stuff" comes down to drugs, dangerous stunts, depressing and defeatist thinking. The short list on "good stuff" includes nutritional eating, ample rest, appropriate exercise, stimulating reading, and imaginative thinking.
We succumb to the bad stuff when we do not exercise self-discipline. We drift rather than determine. We dawdle rather than decide. We dream rather than deliver.
When we fail to control ourselves, the danger is that someone else will. And the greatest danger of all? That no one else will.

it was so nice to meet you (again)! sounds like a good book.
-
i have to agree withya on that one!;) love your encouraging words!

I think people get stuck in self-destructive habits because there is a short-term payoff. I'm a huge procrastinator and miss a lot of deadlines at work. I hate it that I do this when the deadline approaches, but at the time I'm procrastinating, I get an immediate short-term benefit by sleeping 1 hour later, reading 1 more chapter, watching 1 more TV show, etc. Breaking that cycle and looking for the long-term payoff is very challenging. I'm no psychologist, but I think most bad habits work this way. So frustrating! lol!
-
BTW, I hope you're feeling better. My docs have a lot of patients with interstitial cystitis. Instillation treatments work well for a lot of women. That's when they instill Marcaine and heparin directly into the bladder through a catheter. It gives immediate relief in most cases. You may want to ask your doc about this if you haven't already. Cutting orange juice, caffeine, and bananas out of your diet can also help. Hopefully, the medications you're on are helping. Take care of yourself♥
New Update On Me!
Yeah I decided to go ahead and give an update on me since some have asked how I was doing. So here it goes.
I have nearly a week and half till I am fully recovered from my surgery that I had back in February for a Laparoscopy for Endometriosis. While during that surgery I ended up getting my colon punctured. Wow,is what I thought when I found out. :) But I am doing good and feel great as far as all that goes.
But to the stuff that is taking place now and keeping me from doing my regular stuff. I have Interstitial Cystitis of the Bladder. Which means, for those who don't know what that is, is the lining of the bladder is very thin and i can't hold my urine in for that long. Yeah sounds yucky, but the other problem to go along with that is major pain. So I have bladder spasms from that so it causes lot of pain for me. But I am taking medicine to help with that. Well after going to the bladder doctor I am having a bladder distention. It helped a lot last time when they did it, so I am hopeful that it will help again. But with that said we won't really know much until they go in. Its a procedure they do and its out patient. It will be done on May 4th.
The other problems I am dealing with are my migraines. Yes, those are back and when I think its gone it comes right back to haunt me. LOL but I don't know what is causing them. Lord willingly I will find out. I also have some other test coming up, such as an MRI of the brain, but I need to scheldule that. I also have to get my Thyroid checked for if its borderline high or low. The Thyroid has been borderline high for a while. So that could be causing my migraines and so forth.
Other than that I do my best to really push myself when I do feel good and I do my best to go on with my life because I know this is a bump in the road for me once again. I get down and depressed because I have what they call Depressive Mood Disorder, and so when I have pain it does get me down more than most people. I also have Panic Disorder but that one I can handle since I know how to handle that one.
So that is what is going on right now. The good thing is I have a wonderful husband who takes good care of me. He cleans, cooks, works everyday. I couldn't ask for anyone better. I just wish I could trade a day for him,of course with him not being sick and just relaxing, and me going and taking care of everything for him. Sometimes I think husbands need that break. Other than that, I have to say we are doing good.
I am doing my best to keep my chin up and look to God above. But I could use the prayers as the stress levels are rising for me right now trying to figure out what to do. Thank you all for being there for me and John.
Well I am gonna wrap this up. I hope you all have a wonderful day.
In Christian love,
