That funky monkey

Well today I had the day off I was supposed to get some X-rays done and bloodwork done, BUT I idn’t I slept in instead and enjoyed every minute of it !!! 

Last night Jenn and I went to Bath and Body, we bought so many body lotions shower gels, sprays, ect. I love to mix and match and so every time I am at that store I go over board. Throw in another women wanting and using the same stuff and it could get ugly. At least we smell good and in this 90 degree heat, you have to smell good. 

I really should have gotten my X-ray done this morning buut crazy as it sounds I at times just don’t want to know if anything is wrong with me. Yes I know thats crazy7, but its the way I am. I will get it done but it has to be when I want to get it done. maybe I am scared, maybe I am just thinking if I don’t know then I am not sick. Regardless, I have to get it done so I will. Maybe Friday ? 

Until then, peace to all who enter here !

Things to do and things done

So Jenn and I are trying to figure out where we will be taking a vacation this year. I was thinking of renting a cabin or house near Canandagua lake. I have looked inot some places and they allow pets. So in the weeks to come I hope to have something to look forward to this summer. 

 

I managed to get my planting done a few weeks back. Lots of lettuce, herbs, tomatoes, peppers, strawberries, Raspberries, and my lime and lemon trees are flowering so I will have lots of lemons and limes too. in the weeks to come I will post a picture. Matty likes to go out there and be a little boy. he likes getting dirty. 

 

Jenn is in the process of getting another job and I am moving up in mine. Her reseme is looking great and she finished out the year with a GPA of 3.8. by next May she will have her Masters, and she couldn’t be happier. All of this while working full time, and having a prat time job. Not to mention she puts Matty and I first all the time. Thats why I love her. She hopes to have a new job by the fall, and so do I. 

 

We are buying new livingroom furniture this summer so far nothing has really cought our eye but we are still looking and hope to have out livingroom looking its best by the end of July. We are also converting some of the basement into a walk in closet, for storage of clothes and things. Jenns brother is doing it and I can not wait. 

 

New curtains were purchased for the upstairs bathroom, and bedrooms. Jenn hung them up this past weekend and they look great.  New dishes and pans were purchased for the kitchen too and cooking is now even better. I love new pans. 

 

This weekend we hope to both get some new summer clothes, wash our cars, and have a date on Saturday night. We will see

Peace and love to all who enter here.

Mind over matter or so I thought …

So I have not written in awhile to to the fact that I have been sick. Now what was wrong with me I still do not know. while I have had some medical problems all of which I try to eat right, exercise 4 days a week, and meditate ( whish really helps for the sceptics ). Also I think mind over matter plays a huge part in how you feel. Sure I have a heart problem, and other monor problems under control but I do what I feel is best and move along. I don’t focus everyday or advertise my problems. I just live, without emphasis on what is wrong with me. 

 

Last week however, NOTHING I did helped me is contolling the pain I was in. I woke up last Friday with a sorness in my upper back and neck. No biggie mind over matter. I just stretched more after exercising, took an aspirin, and thought tomorrow will be better. Well it got worse on Saturday so I did the same that day and applied heat, and again mind over matter tomorrow will be better. Sunday it got worse and it was pain I was feeling, not soreness. I could not turn to the right, raise my arm, or even swallow. Memorial day it was REALLY BAD !!! I ended up having to go to the emergency room. I got a muscle relaxer and shot in the butt of a pain med, and x-rays taken. Then I was discharged feeling better, but still in pain. The next morning I get a call from the ER doctor saying that he did no “notice” on my chart, that the nurse had written I had a temperature of 101. So I called the ER wing back, and the Er doctor asked I come in to get a cat scan done to rule out an infection. Now here is where it gets tricky I needed an authorization # from my medical insurance to get the cat scan done so I went home and made a doctors appt. I went to see my doctor and that doctor also felt a cat scan was needed but two days later my insurance denied it. They think I should have treatment ffor at least 2 weeks before the scan. Anything could be wrong. Pulled muscle, pinched nerve, or because I had a fever and had trouble swallowing, when the x- rays were reviewed they showed a possible “shadow” maybe a cysts or a tumor . So I have to go back on the 16th for more x-rays, and then try and get a cat scan again. We will see…

 

The good news is that the meds did work ! So I am only allowing myself to go and believe it was a pulled muscle. While I am still sore. I have returned to work and am only taking the meds as needed. The meds did away with my apatite, and I have lost 5 pounds. That affect still lingers and I am eating very little. We will see when and if I find out what is wrong with me until then mind over matter.
