| So our adventure in Oregon is going very well. My blood pressure has been somewhat under control now that Michael & I decided to take things slow with our new home. I'm still on the following medications listed down below for it; but it just seems that 'less stress' also helped. Who knew? lol. I cannot wait for our Gastric Bypass! I do hope I am one of the fortunate ones that will no longer require these medications & my Bi-pap machine. Talk about relief; no? I mean shoot; three meds just to keep my heart within safe numbers? 5/7/2011- was pretty hard. It was my Mother's 3rd anniversary of her passing. 'Congested Heart Failure' due to Diabetes. & today (5/8/11) 'Mother's day' a generic HallmarkHoliday, doesn't let us with those who lost their loved one 'smile' this day. Quite the contrary; & I'm sure my baby sister Margarita feels the same as I do (pissed/sad), you really miss them only/truly when they are gone. Celebrate: why do we celebrate a day or a Mother; when it was there intent to become a Mother. They try hard; work hard, & do whatever it is they do to become a Mom & now we toast them for wanting nine months of hell inside them? & the same goes for fathers. I believe in equality; delete both Holidays. I loved my Mom & I Love my Dad; but they decided to achieve those titles. & I really see no point in spending close to $5 for a Card then a gift or gift card to show them how much you love them? How about just saying I Love You as many times a day to them as you can? Every time I end a call with my Dad or we part ways we hug & tell one another we Love each Other & we are both Happy as clams at low tide. Because "Those three words, are said too much, & not enough!". I know these are not the exact lyrics from Snow Patrol but you get the point. Or don't; because you do not want to accept Just loving someone means saying you love them & mean it; instead of throwing flowers & chocolates in their face & hope they know you love them for another year? I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend; mine was a tad depressing & exhausting, but it will get better, life can & will improve!

| So; life has been interesting these days. All from keeping appointments to see the Doctors, to Shrinks; & random shopping habits. We’ve also been busy with visiting our Nutritionist & keeping food diaries; as well as trying to watch what we eat & now lowering or portions. I for example have to cut out basically 1/3 of my meals now. Oh in case no one knew Michael & I have been doing whatever the Insurance asks us to so that we can get qualified for our Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass. We saw Michelle the other day who pretty much told us we qualify in her book; & since our Therapist agrees that we are mentally fit now we just need to do a few more tests. Like checking for Fatty Livers, Sleep Apnea for Michael, & other medications because my Blood-Pressure should be going down as I lose weight but sadly it appears to jump up 10 points biweekly. Weird no? What else is new? As many of you know I’m off of a lot of Pain Medications now due to the fact they weren’t doing shit, & the pain Doctor couldn’t give two shits; so I went with what my Primary Dr. & Therapist suggested & move on to an “Alternative” medicine, which I have & it’s working splendidly. Also my Honey & I have been using our green thumbs & loving the Aero-Gardens & transplanting Vegetables from it to clay pots in the Backyard. It keeps us busy & active so that’s always a plus. Obviously our closes friends are aware we adopted two new kittens a few months ago. They are doing great! & growing so fast, we missed them so much when we were in Vegas & I turns out at the end of the month we’re going back for about the same amount of time. I hate that drive! But $323 round-trip per person they are insane! Baby my toy poodle is doing well. She’ll be 13 this Christmas. Gods; I’ll be 31 next month! *CRY*… So what’s new?

"I see angels trapped beneath the ice
And strangers in my bed at night
Cloudy skies to cover up
the feelings buried in the dark
Helen, I think you understand
The night is silent in your hands
I give it everything I have
And when its gone
There's nothing left but me."

| Well wish me luck; I'm about to head to bed & I see the pain care center @ 8:30 AM. & I will be presenting them with the PDF I had my friends confirm what the hell the Doctor wrote on it. So fingers crossed that I can be a Guinea Pig. Basically it would be great if they changed my medications & gave me a shot of something for the day since I work at 2pm. Also I'm in so much pain from pulling something while assisting Michael shifting through old memories through the Garage & tossing out old shit. No more hoarding. Wish me luck! I'm going in there with the attitude that "Hey I'm not an addict; I have validation that I am in immense pain; the pills you put me on were completely useless, all they did was give me cotton mouth & dried out my eyes so bad that I sleep with a gel in them that I put in them every night now. So can we please try something I KNOW that works on this body I've owned for 30 Years! Please? If not please referral me to someone that will try any means to relieve my pain." Sound good? | | |
| Okay, so I don't get to see the Pain Cain Center until the 13th & yet I' stuck taking all these pills until then.... I just hope I get injections versus oral crap.
