I'm alive. I get a brain CT in a couple of weeks. We'll see if I still have one. (checking for AVMs)

:pray: I'm back... for a moment. My husband and I bought a second house. My dad is going to rent it from us. When M retires, we'll move into it. (my dad will be probably be in a nursing home by then) It's a one story with the laundry on the ground floor. My dad's house has the laundry in the...

What happened? Did I kill a thread?

I'm still kickin'. I don't know if I mentioned that I probably have a duodenal ulcer. (in the duodenom, usually a non- bleeder) Omeprazol seems to work. We're still working on helping dad get his house clean. He and my mom were pack- rats. Not quite on the level of hoarders. I think we'll try...

I'm alive. The coils were put in my lung on Monday. It was uneventful. In a few weeks, they'll do a CT of my brain. We need to make sure that it's still there. I thought I'd lost my mind in the past... now we'll know for sure. Winter break has arrived. I'm off work for two weeks. Yay...

Blizzard warning for central Iowa this afternoon. (most of the state, really) I get the coils put in my lung on the 20th. Yippee.

The Jehovah's Witnesses teach that the body and soul are one. (Charles Russell came fron the SDAs. ) Does the SDA church teach this also? This discussion brings to mind the NDEs that are reported. I watched a show on tv about this two days ago.

I posted an update in Adiaphora Alehaus.

Updates: My mom passed away on November 16th. She held on until the last two family members that could had arrived at her bedside. All but her oldest child was in attendance. She'd had three cardiac arrests that morning, then her blood pressure plummeted. They had her on BP meds to keep it up...

I'm scheduled for November 8th. I'm still having pains in my lower right side. Near where my appendix used to be.

I'm requesting prayers for myself. My CT results show nodules in my right lung. Please pray that is nothing serious and easy for the doctors to fix. Thanks!

My CT results are back. They found nodules in my lower right lung. They're going to schedule a consult with a Pulmonologist. Mel, when you're standin in the OR, don't lock your knees. Do you get to start closing for the surgeons? Counting instruments and wrappers to make sure you didn't leave...

We're supposed to get to 77 here in central Iowa. It's supposed to be more seasonal next week. My fourth graders get to host our Harvest Carnival this year. They're excited. So am I. My CT scan is scheduled for Monday morning. I get to drink a different kind of witch's brew for this test. I...

My blood count is back to normal. I had a colonoscopy, it came back clean. The Doc. wants me to get a CT scan.

oops The really fun part of the anemia... I thought for a week or two that I was fighting anxiety attacks. The symptoms are similar. Fatigue, heart palpitations, feeling faint, vertigo. It's CRAZINESS I tell you! :P

Actually, I'd only been anemic once before- 11.5. This time it dipped to 10.3. Now one of the doctors wants me to do a test to see if I might have some light internal bleeding. (my colon) I'd been running at 12, then my red count took a rapid nose dive. The telangectasias (sp?) can be found in...

Lucky me. I have an infected tooth, plus I'm anemic. The anemia would explain why I feel like a member of the walking dead society. I'm supposed to get the tooth pulled next Monday. It gets infected about once per year. Time to take a nap.

I got stuck "teaching" fourth grade this year. Big leap from first. Now I need to read up on geometry. It seems first graders are more interested in learning.

Tongue in cheek? My anxiety is a mental thing, which makes it "all in my head." Globus histericus is the feeling of the lump in one's throat, it doesn't hurt, and nothing is really stuck in your throat. I'm a very sarcastic person. I read serious when I'm really not. I take myself too seriuosly...

Flipper, almost forgot to reply... My mom was odd when one of my great nieces was first born. She's half African- American. First, she asked, "when does she turn black?" (Yes, I'm related to this person... hanging my head) Then, "she can't help who her parents are." Now my mom loves this child...
