impending surgery (Saturday, June 10, 2006 - 4:20:59 AM)

I will be having surgery in three to four weeks to have fibroids embolized. I will have some tests run and blood work before the actual procedure. The dr. has ordered a cat scan and a biopscy. The preoperation test seem as involved as the impending surgery; and i was told that the biopscy could hurt and cause cramping. I am so wore out from my adominal area hurting and being sick with the fibrods.
I have food alergies and from time to time i try to eat a food that in the past has been an issue. Yesterday i ate a small wedge of Switzerland Gruyere chesse. Swizerland is know for pure foods and the label on the chesse said no carbs. i thought i would give it a try. Ate a wedge and sat and crocheted and waited. So for so good. A few hours later i ate another wedge; probably pushing it, but oh the cheese is so good. again so for so good.
I have a pile of shawls; a 14 pile high of shawls for xmas gifts. Don said the pile will be to the ceiling before xmas. I found 30 skeens of solid colored yarn at a thift store a few days ago and bought it all. My Grammie last weekend taught me to make adult size crocheted house shoes/booties. They in comcept are easy to make but i have trouble counting and keeping count; so i spend most of my time recounting. I am excited about making the booties and two of my friends want to learn how to make them. I look forward to teaching them how.
Another friend wants to learn to candlewick. I have not been able to find any candlewicking supplies. I had been told that embodirey floss could be used for the french knots; but it really is just not the same look as candlewicking thread. Yesteday while out shopping at a thirft shop i came across two candlewicking kits! The Lord provides; One of the lessons i am learing through the avm(blood vessle breaking) and fibrod ordeal.

We all have are limists; places that our sensabities are tired, tested, but we can still walk away. I am not even tempted by the mediocor chocolates, but there are a few that ... well if they were sinful i would sin and have to ask for for giveness on a regular bases. We all meet cross roads in our life and wonder how to cross them. I usually stay way form anything that might even comes close to a cross road; i like thing streight and to the point. Oh but chocoalte is one of those distractions that will lead me to other places. At the moment it is only a thought, one i try to set aside. but it is there..the thought and the chocolate. I try to stay far away but i longing think of it and wonder. I remember the excsaty and know it awaits again.

fibroids (Thursday, May 4, 2006 - 6:08:45 PM)

Heavy sigh, I said i would make a blog entry after my dr. appointment. I went to the dr. today and once again i am standing in front of a brick wall. Let me back up a few weeks and then come to today. Several weeks ago my family dr. insisted on an ultra sound; and several days later we have the news of what is causing my pain; benign fibriods -- a uterus full of fibriods and two large fibriods that are streching my uterus in ways that are extremly painful and may be pushing my uterus to inpenge on my bladder's space. Detrol is a wonderful drug.
Then came home and precious had pooped on the floor. I really do not have the enegry to deal with this stupid cat and her issues.
What the dr. told us today was he felt that a hystoremcaty was the best option and i said no it is'nt. i asked about alternative treatments. The dr. said he would find out where we ccould go for some of the alternatives we asked about. The dr. i saw today was very respectuful of my chosies and is helping us find resources that will match up with our needs.
Finding acceptalbe choses most likely is'nt going to be an easy.

sleeping mostly (Monday, April 17, 2006 - 9:47:00 AM)

I have not been up to much; sleeping mostly to hide from the phsyical pain. I try not to take pain meds but i have had to take some these past two weeks. I go for an ultra sound thursday. I have not felt well enough to mess with making the bed the past couple of weeks; crocheed some; and trying to read. Took me two weeks to read a novel. I laided out my sketch book but i have been histating because of the energy it takes to sketch; i do not feel like i have it to give. And when i set down to draw i want to spend some hours working at it; giving it only fiften minites is not enuoght to motivate me to go to the sketch pad.
I called the hospital rehab and have asked for therapy again. Insurance said that i have so many hours a year of therapy. Can hope and try. I am still doing tai chi; thankful to sevaral friends that come monday - friday. I have worked on filling my flower beds with flowers. I am trying to stay as active as i am able and well i push myself.
In trying to read i have discovered i have lost a good deal of vocabulary. I just look the words up using a franklin electronic dictinoariy. I seem to be able to relearn the words.
I am cooking my own breakfast now; two egges over easy and rye toast on a griddle. So far i have remembered to turn it off/unplug it. I am using the stove some; mostly when don is home and i use a timer that buzzes. Don is still taking care of the laundry; our laundry room is in an outside room; i can not negotishate the laundry basket and stairs well/safely. We would like to have the laundry room moved to the inside of the house but it will have to wait; other things like medical bills, continured medical care; and roof repair are needed.
I have relented to having a house keeper come everyother week. The house is cleaner and it helps Don not have to do as much house work. I am calmer too if the house is clean.
Don is a good husband. Sometimes illness can tear a couple apart; (it for sure puts a strain on all kinds of areas of marrage; his kindness and willingness to step up to this new way of life is endearing to me.
Take the time today to help someone; lighten their load. Do something you know they need done. These kind of kindnesses have keep me soft.
