Glad This Day is Over!!!

 

Page 128 of 366. Good evening all my beautiful Lovies. I hope the day has treated you well. It has been a fairly long day for me, in the sense that I had my medical appt at 9:30 this morning, and my body and brain decided I didn't really need that thing called "sleep"... this ALWAYS happens before a medical appointment. My anxiety always gets the best of me, but after the appt, I click in that I am stressing over things I cannot change... but we ALL know, I will be right back in the same position next appointment; and the one after that!!!

I cannot complain too much about the visit itself, because I adore my family doctor. I like that he actually listens to his patients, and he does take his time with them. He is a super busy doctor, booking appts only 10 minutes from each other; but he doesn't get pushy and he will extend your time PLUS he's not the type of doctor who will only deal with one ailment at a time. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs a doctor in the area!!!

Today, he has changed my medications... He has seriously upped my diabetic medication, saying I have to be super vigilant with this one because apparently it is super strong and my numbers can drop fast. He is not liking the fact that I am ketoacidosis soooooo often and that even tripling my insulin is not doing the trick. I have appointments being booked for neurology for my IIH. I have appointments being booked for my neuro ophthlamology... which ties into both my diabetes and my IIH. My vision has been going to crap, the higher my sugar levels are... but I lose vision when there is too much pressure on my optic nerve from the IIH... so I guess it'll be up to those specialists to decide the next course of action, or if we are already on the right path.

Those were the biggest things we talked about today. We do have to deal with the losing of sensation in my leg and the lack of me being able to just walk up a step... The easiest way to explain what is going on, is that it feels like there is a disconnect in my internal wiring. I can hear my brain telling my leg to lift and step onto the step, but for some reason it cannot (or will not) do that. I have to physically grab my pant leg and lift my leg. It's embarrassing; but it is what it is.

Other than that, I had a good afternoon, sitting outside with a few of the women from our building. Of course, I am now as red as a tomato, but I may as well just get this first burn out of the way, and start tanning from there. I hope you all have a great night and I will try to write again tomorrow. I am really missing doing my crime blog, but I need to take it one step at a time for now.

Stay safe. Be well. Be blessed. Much love,

~Phoenix

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...
