So I'm in the hospital again. Two months out, not to bad. I want to talk to the diabetes doctor about a pump, but I haven't seen him since the first morning here. I guess I should do some research online anyways ( Read more... )

So I'm a huge disappointment to everyone. Everyone expects me to do better with my health. My lack of motivation, responsibility and acting like an "adult," have made everyone sad because I'm still sick, and they can't make me be better at taking care of myself ( Read more... )

Us non-Christians often get asked the question, "If you don't believe, why bother to celebrate?" There is a simple answer and a longer one. The simple answer is that I was raised by people who did believe. It's tradition. But honestly, to me... it's more complicated than that ( Read more... )

So, we're sending out the package with Anna Bear and the scrapbook for Chunli on Wednesday. After that we're supposed to send her a little something every few weeks so she knows we haven't forgotten her. We decided we'd each write a letter to send each time. I'll probably send mine next time. I'm going to use an online translator to translate it to ( Read more... )

Uhg. I'm in SO much pain. I cooked today, so I was on my feet for four hours cutting, and stirring and junk. Which for most people, is NOT as big deal. But it's been a long time since I've been able to be that active. Thus my back started hurting, which spread to my left rib cage. Now it hurts to breath. I feel like crying. I did take some tylenol ( Read more... )

I'm so tired. I slept all day today. Matt doesn't get it. He doesn't get how I could have so much energy to do stuff last week, and be so tired this week. It's in part the weather difference. In part it's because I used up all my energy last week. Honestly, he doesn't realize that we really DID do a lot of sitting around last week. We had that ONE ( Read more... )

Looking back on how 2011 started... I feel very fortunate. The move with my parents has worked out well so far. Most important, my kidney's have yet to fail. The way the doctors were talking, I thought for sure it'd be a few months into 2011 and I'd be on dialysis. But I'm maintained my numbers, and kept off it. I feel very lucky ( Read more... )

Trying to revive the Forum again... it's been a while since anyone has posted over there, so if you join, feel free to start new conversations. I need to go through and delete a lot of the old stuff. Clean it up, make it new and shiny!!! If you join, I'll pm you once your account is active ( Read more... )

I've been getting head aches. I'm pretty sure they're nothing more than migraines, which LOTS of people get. After a million and one tests, they couldn't find anything wrong with my noggin. But every time I complain about a head ache, Matt wants me to "call the doctor". I see no point in calling the doctor. I was essentially told that if it were a ( Read more... )
