Why yes, it really has been six months since I last posted.

I've finally decided that I really am going to post original fiction here starting with this year's NaNo Novel. I'll probably also post things for communities I'm signed up for on dreamwidth whether their original or not. Just thought I'd give you this little update before I go posting again... which I plan to do today! Yay!

So read, enjoy, leave comments.

Love,

So I had a call in check-up with the kidney doctor today. I called at about 9 but he was in with a patient so I had to wait for him to call me back.

Fast forward to about 10 minutes ago. He called back and asked how I was doing with my potassium-citrate pills and I told him not so good. I told him how I was able to swallow them a few times but Sunday of last week I just could not. I even had a really hard time getting it up or down after it got stuck. Also told him that we called the next day to let them know and we still hadn't received a prescription. He looked at my chart and told me someone had dropped the ball because there wasn't even a note in my chart stating I had even called! He might have been angry but you can never tell with him because he's so even keeled. But this mishap resulted in me not having meds for a week and a half, which obviously isn't good.

So he's calling me in a new prescription right now. Potassium-citrate comes in three forms. The huge-ass pills, liquid and crystal packs. He's giving me the crystal packs. They sound neat. They're like Crystal Light. You mix the packet in to a drink twice a day and drink. Easy peasy. Hopefully. lol.

So that's cool. But my mom was looking at the side affects of Yaz to see if it could cause depression because of the sudden change in my mood. Well, it doesn't but my mom found something interesting in the info she was reading. You aren't supposed to mix Yaz with the specific blood pressure pills I'm on. Ain't that just great? So I'm all wtf? Also Yaz can make your potassium go up and now I'm taking potassium so we've got to tqlk to my doctors about that. Too much potassium can cause heart attacks so... Yeah.

Anyway, that's my update. Now I must shower as Lene is coming today because she can't come Friday for whatever reason.

Hope your days are going well♥

So, I thought I'd give you a REAL update for once instead of just a twitter one :) So here goes!

& & &

Yesterday was interesting. I couldn't eat or drink after Midnight, not even water, which completely sucked. I was so thirsty. But I had to do it because I was having oral surgery. After having an infection in my tooth, I had a rootcanal. That was September of 2008. The infection never went away, no matter how many antibiotics I took. So I had to have it surgically removed; and that is what my oral surgery was.

My blood pressure was through the roof, as in: 195/114. That is almost deadly. But it's because of my nervousness. And probably because I couldn't take my anxiety medicine yesterday before the appointment. I couldn't have anything in my stomach because I was having IV sedation. I just wanted to get it over with because it's been so long. I've had at least a 99.2degreeF temperature for over a year now, so I definitely haven't been feeling well. But hopefully this surgery will now help.

Anyway, they took me in and took my BP and were kind of freaked out. But as soon as they started the IV medication my BP went down and I was out like a light. The next thing I remember was someone asking me to bite down on some gauze. Then I got wheeled into the recovery room. I, of course, couldn't feel the left half of my face, but that wasn't anything new. When my mom came back to see me, Dr Scura told us that the infection had gone all the way up into my sinus cavaties! They also sent whatever they took out of my face to be looked at by the lab. Biopsies and whatever. I guess they do it for everyone that has this procedure. So I ended up not freaking out about that too much.

Then I came home and slept from 10 - 1. Then I was up for a little bit and then slept a few more hours. By five I decided I wouldn't sleep anymore so I could sleep last night, which worked. I slept almost till 6:00! Awesome! I loved it. Then I slept a little more and finally got up around 10:30 this morning. All in all, it was a lovely 24 hours ;)

My face was a little puffy yesterday, I iced it a bunch, which felt wonderful. But apparently going to sleep overnight was a BAD idea because when I woke up, I was so fucking swollen! My lip sticks out like a duck bill! So when I went back to sleep I got my ice pack out and laid down with it. Of course my mom took it away when she got up b/c you're only supposed to ice it for, like, 40 minutes at a time. She did some errands while I slept. When she got home and I woke up, my eye felt weird. I looked in the mirror and found my left eye was almost swollen shut!!!!! So yeah, while I would LOVE to take a picture and show everyone how freaking swollen I am, I don't want the pictures to float around the internet for the rest of my life. Maybe I'll take a picture and if you ever visit I'll show it to you. lol.

& & &

So, it's almost November. You know what that means! NaNoWriMo!!!!!!! I'm actually thinking of entering this year. I'm thinking of joining up right now. I think it would be good for me and give me something to focus on. I'm kind of all excited about it really. And I think I know what I'm going to write about. I think I might be winging it tho. But that's only because I never really seem to come up with a plot or anything before I write my long stories. But at least I have a tiny bit of an idea of what I want to happen in this story. But not a lot of a plot yet. Hopefully everything will work out. I probably won't make the goal, but at least I'll accomplish a bit of it.

There are a few fanfic WIP's that I'd really like to rework into something original for NaNoWriMo. I don't have a whole helluvalot of time to pick one and then come up with all the plot and whatever else. But again, that's kind of how I normally work, just off the cuff, no planning involved.

So, yeah, that's what's been going on in a nutshell.j

How's all your lives going???

So I am here. At home. After my 3 day / 2 night excursion to Lincoln, NH to go to Six Gun City and Clark's Trading Post. The trained bears rocked my effing socks to the end of the world. Whereas Six Gun City had 3 goats, 5 mini ponies and some Norweign Fjord horses. But the goats were what definitely had me angered. One of them looked okay while the other two looked emaciated. Jeff told me to call the New Hampshire Humane Society and make a complaint against them. But I'm pretty sure NH isn't as cool when it comes to Humane Law Enforcement as other places like NY are. Like the Animal Cops I see on Animal Planet. New Hampshire is just too sucky for that. I mean, we're allowed to beat our children and even use implements as long as we don't leave excessive marks and it's LEGAL.

Okay, so like you might have guessed, I'm bitchy. I have no clue why. I think it may be just me being over-tired or something. My feet and legs hurt from the 12+ hours of walking I've done in the past two days. And the 1 - 2 hours of swimming a day the past two days. Plus, my arm just started hurting about an hour ago. My mom says it's a pulled muscle but to me it feels like a pinched nerve. I've had both. Plus I've had enough pulled muscles in my life to know that it is NOT just a pulled muscle. It's probably nothing. But I'm bitchy and have cried in a second's notice two different times tonight for reasons that are so stupid.

1). Not enough fluff for a sandwich. Although my mom says there's enough, there is not enough for my liking.
2). Mom said we should watch such-an-such a show and I was all, Why can't we just watch Mystery Diagnosis and she was all go ahead if you want to and then I cried.


And for your information, I am NOT pms'ing. I've already done that this month. But this is the first time I've been home since Sunday and I'm not a person to really do that. Hence why I think it's over-tiredness. Plus, my Crohn's Disease / Colitis is being a bitch. I can't eat ANYTHING without having to rush to a rest room right after. It made eating out this weekend almost a hassle and I almost just wanted to take some imodium b/c the last time I took just half a dose I didn't have a bowel movement for a week. And for this vacation that sounded pretty good.

I'm off to take an Adavant to see if maybe it'll help.
I'm so fucked up right now and I don't know why.
It just hit me BAM! this afternoon.
And maybe it's partly b/c I feel like I was rushed out of the gift shop at Clark's and ended up not buying all 3 Limited Edition 80th Anniversary Trained Bears stuffies, which if I bought altogether at once I could have gotten 6$ off and a FREE tote bag. Plus I really wanted a ring of some sort. But I only ended up with Soggle the Bear who I've nicknamed "Soggy" and a necklace where the bear charm is made from some kind of polished natural stone. And I also wanted a hoodie. And I'm pretty upset b/c only 1200 stuffies of Soggy and her two brother bears were ever made. hullow LIMITED edition. Soggle, Woggle, and Toggle were orphaned triplet cubs that the Clark raised and were their first trained bears.

the end.
for real.
my alarm's going off.
time for meds.

bye.

p.s. - there will be a better rendition of my vacation when I'm in a better mood. Plus: PICTURES!!!

goodbye.srsly.for.real.
