Right Hand Versus Left Hand... WTF???

Page 144 of 366. Good Day Lovies. I hope the sun is beaming all around you, unless you're like me... then I hope it's thundering and lightning for you!!! I had the pleasure of watching a cloud pass by, last night, quickly off in the distance light up, over and over again. It was the first time I've ever seen that; was pretty amazing!!! The thunderstorm never hit our city, but it sure got windy at one point.

So let me get into why I chose the title I did for this blurb...

Without divulging all my medical shyt on here, I'll just explain the scenario. I had 2 specialists come by, fairly late in the afternoon yesterday. They informed me what I already suspected... blood clots. With them finally understanding the immense pain I'm in, both agreed to give me my pain medications through IV, rather than taking them orally, as I've been doing past couple days. So when time came for my medication, I paged nurse... she ignores it. When she finally does come in she checks and says there's no order from either doctor for the change and leaves. It wasn't until 3, yes THREE hours AFTER my pain meds should have been given that I finally got them.

This morning, I was sent for more testing, and the order is wrong on the paperwork; both legs were to be scanned, not just one. FML!!! 

I get back to my room and the pharmacist is there to review what medications I'll be on, including how to administer the new ones. She informs me that they gave me the full dosage of blood thinners last night, which again, was not supposed to happen, as I'm anemic and we had to do it gradually.

After she leaves, the GI team come in the room and I tell them the reason I came in has already returned, so we're trying some natural remedies first. They were completely shocked at how incompetent the Thrombosis/Hematology team was by not having both legs done, and honestly, I just want to pack up what I got here and go home... who gives a fuck if I bleed out?!!

Beloved is telling me to stay. My loved ones are telling me to stay. My head says to stay, but my heart and emotions have had enough. I'm broken!!!

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...

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...

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...
