Always a Story!!!

Page 143 of 366. Good Evening Lovies. I hope you all had a great day. I really hope you got out to enjoy this (stupidly) hot weather. 

As for me, I continue to lay in my hospital bed, looking at all the beige curtains, pale walls... and of course, can't forget the crucifix on the wall directly across from my bed. I oddly have to wonder how a government funded hospital still allows this. I mean, it doesn't bother me, I can just close my curtain (kinda like a scroll n roll on fb type of thing)... 

I just find it hypocritical that they hang a cross with Jesus on it, yet right next to that, they hang a gay pride flag??? Make it make sense???

Sorry, I am in quite the bitch tonight. I am over being in the hospital, even though I know this is the best place for me to be right now. I guess, in a way, I'm just sick and tired of being sick and tired... everyday there seems to be something new to add to the mile long list of ailments. I had hoped today was just going to be a healing day but, as if I could ever be that lucky!!!

To begin, was woken up at 5'ish this morning to get blood drawn. I never understood that... sick people need sleep to heal; how are we healing if we can't get restful sleep and woken constantly???

By 8:30, I had an ECG done on my heart because my low potassium is causing issues. Gee, what a shock!!! At 11 or so, I was brought down for an ultrasound on my liver, spleen and upper abdomen; resulting in us finding out I have all kinds of blood clots in my liver. So inspite of me being anemic, we immediately started me on blood thinners. It's guinea pig time!!! Tomorrow we scan my legs to see if the pinching and pain in them is also blood clots.

It's looking like I got a few battles ahead of me... some of which I am NOT prepared for. Well that's my update for today.stay safe. Stay cool. Be well. Be blessed. Much love

FFS I Matter Too!!!

Good evening lovies. I have been struggling with something that is very close to my heart. I truly do not know where to proceed next. I'm going to try and make a very long story as simple as I can... I was adopted at 5months of age, (well apprehended at 5 months, adopted at 5 years). There is something that adoptees yearn for all their lives... WHY?  I know for me there were many questions and on my 19th birthday it appeared I was going to get those answers when I met the woman who birthed me. Unfortunately, I was sorely mistaken!!! Years went by, and I allowed this woman to have control over certain things that were weighing heavily on my heart, She held the one piece of the puzzle that felt missing from my heart... who my biological father was?!! I, one day decided that I wasn't going to allow another person have that kind of control over me... EVER!!! I left the situation alone. I struggled deeply. I was literally at war with myself. on this topic. In a way, I felt guilty th...

It's a Hide Under the Covers Kinda Day

Page 14 of 365. Good Afternoon Lovies. I really, really hope your day is going better than mine!!! Sorry, woke up at the asscrack of dawn, as I had a doctor's appointment this morning.  Thankfully it was with my family doctor; appointments with him are fairly painless.  Today, however; things kinda went sideways.  I am usually in and out within 10 mins for these appts, but today? I was there for over 45 minutes. Of course, it didn't help that I was puking maroon blood in the office. I know, I don't share a lot of my medical nor really personal stuff on here, but just so you're aware, this has been happening daily since end of May/beginning of June last year. I am what they call an "anemic blood clotter" which I didn't think was possible, but apparently it runs on the paternal side of my family. Anyways, that was the main focus of my visit after that. My stomach medication is being switched AGAIN, this time I am being set up with an antibiotic (which is cra...

Tis the Season.... Why I Am Proud of Local Tattoo Shop!!!

  Page 307 of 366. Good Afternoon Lovies. I am not sure how long this blurb is going to be; as it seems to be a topic I have been beating to death this past year. I know it is the time of the year where we switch from Halloween/Samhain into Thanksgiving (in the US) to Yule/Christmas season.  I hate pointing out this fact, but people seem to feel like Christmas time is the only time of the year that they should be charitable...  Is it out of guilt that you are donating, or is it because you genuinely feel you should be helping people??? I AM sort of calling you out because this is NOT the only time of the year that the homeless, or the downtrodden need help. I cannot stand that this is around the only time you will see non-stop commercials/ads or billboards that are asking for help with various charities; also the time we see commercials about driving under the influence. WHY IS THAT??? Driving under the influence is a year-long problem... I will not get into details about...
