Life, interrupted

September 12, 2008

Lately I’ve been having some majoro weirdo dreams- one with Barack Obama(and family), in which I concluded that he was a decent human being(I had my doubts before), and last night about Michael Phelps. I was flirting ridicuously to get his autograph and he fell for it, hook line and sinker. Weird thing is, he wasn’t all that great of a conversionalist and the only question he asked me was about the weather. I’ve yet to dream about McCain/Palin but I can’t wait.

I’ve been in the hospital twice, emergency room 9-10 times over the past month had a bowel intesseption and whacky electrolytes that have stayed whacky. I’m now getting infusions three times a week of magnesium. My dizzyness problem has not gone away, I had to put it on hold because of the more emergent problems that popped up. My neurologist from HopkinsĀ  got so worried about not hearing from me that he’s emailing me. Personally. (this guy is like EXTREMILY busy, on the top tier of the medical community) I had more bloodwork done, an EEG and I have to go see a cardiologist + have a tilt table test. I have missed alot of school from being so sick, I’m depressed and my diabetes care has gone south for the winter. (VERY uncontrolled) That makes my endo, pcp, and the nephrologist I’ve been seeing for the electrolytes extremily overjoyed. Sometimes I just feel like going into a diabetes coma and quitting the earth, all of my medical problems will get me there anyway whether I like it or not.

You’ve got three months to live..

June 20, 2008

It’s come to my attention that I really need to get my will in order. My husband’s is, but mine isn’t because I’m so horrifically busy 100% of time time.

So, I called the neuro for the results. First he told me that there were no signs of MS. (never a good sign, if everything is good they tell you everything looks great and you can stop worrying) Then he says that the MRI showed (heart starts staccato-ing..) that I have a sinus infection.

Sinus infection? I had a cold about a month ago, which cleared up in two weeks. I don’t have any drainage, pain, or pressure. (a cough, sometimes)How could I have a sinus infection?

“You have a sinus infection,” he repeats, “and you need to take antibiotics 7-12 days and see if it clears up. If you’re still dizzy after that, we’ll repeat the spinal tap and see if anything has changed.”

Ok, will do. I’m not the one who reads MRI’s for a living, I guess the radiologist read it right. He is going on vacation next Thurs. for two weeks so I’m supposed to call back next Wed. (taking a Z-pack)

No, I don’t have three months to live..but I feel like my life is spinning off in weird directions, none of it any closer toward an actual solution.

Obamaman Can!

This is really funny, its a Washington Times cartoon:

Presenting…Obamaman!

(and oh, so true. I want to vomit whenever I see him on tv(Mc Cain too, but he’s the better of the worst)
