and we got some bad news

the good news is
that I officially have good bones

good in that they
are no worse
than they were

the bad news is
that I have atherosclerosis

which can be treated medication

yet.one.more.medication.

but wait! it gets better!

I’m also diabetic
(qu’elle suprise?
what with the family history
and my svelt shape!)

this too can be treated with a medication
also no big surprise….

I’m soon to need a truck to haul my meds in
*sigh*

I have an appt with
the heart specialist on the 29th
and a urologist pending
cos they still can’t figure out
where the blood is coming from

that’d be the blood
that sent me to the Dr
in the first place
over 2 mths ago…

*sigh*

I’m just tired of being sick and tired

let’s recap shall we?

Crohn’s Disease – 12 pills a day (on maintenance)
PTSD – 2 pills at night
hiatus hernia – 1 pill a day
high blood pressure – 1 pill a day
HRT – 1 pill a day
atherosclerosis – 1 pill a day (and re-evaluate in 6 wks)
arthritis – pills dependent on pain and weather
Cogan’s Dystrophy – night time eye ointment
and drops 3 times a day
Diabetes – metformin (after the next fasting blood sugar
and we’ll evaluate as we go)
Achilles tendinitis (both legs) – pills dependent on pain
Obesity – lobotomy? possibility!

*sigh*

Jeezuz
I’m gonna have to pay someone to keep this straight for me

EDIT: case in point?
a friend just phoned me to remind me
of the kidney stone
and the freaking surgery clamp
they’ve discovered was left in me
over 30 years ago during one of my surgeries….
imagine that slipping my mind? END EDIT

another edit: well shit! I forgot asthma! end edit!

so here’s the crux of my problem…
I am on a “low residue” diet
due to the Crohn’s Disease…
I have been for about 6 yrs,
and I firmly believe
that it is the reason
that my Crohn’s is in
stasis or remission

but…..
all the food I need to eat
to combat the atherosclerosis,
diabetes,
high blood pressure
and obesity
are the foods that I simply can not eat
and keep my Crohn’s from flaring
(last flare had me in the hospital
for 10 days
and in ICU for 6 of them)

so… no fruits and veggies for me

I can’t even walk for cripes sake
cos my left Achilles tendon is fracked.

so officially….

if you are lookin for me?

I’ll be under my bed…
sucking my thumb.

and I ain’t anywhere near as cute as this kid!

disgruntled today…

I don’t know why?

cos yesterday was a pretty good day
save a couple of scares from a video my friend lent me
(really? if ya wanna get rid of me…just tell me – no need to scare me to death LOL)

I wrote this list of things 13 that make me go hmmm?
but decided against posting it in it’s entirety
mostly cos there’s no way that people will look at it honestly

there’s simply no way that people will honestly answer the questions
as opposed to viewing it as me being incendiary
which is not my intent

over time it surely does seem that the lion’s share of the people
that I am acquainted with
would rather talk about me
than to me

I guess that’s my fault
cos I’m still holding people accountable
for their actions

so it’s their loss

part of taking a stand
is being prepared for the fall out
no matter how mean spirited it is.

I’m prepared.
