TRYING TO MAKE PROGRESS THRU THE PAIN

Friday I took a trip to my Dr. because I had laryngitis and a serious sinus infection. She prescribed Biaxin to kill the infection, b/c I am allergic to all the good stuff and I've had Zithromax too many times for it to work properly. By Saturday I wanted to die.

On Monday I went to the ER with some abdominal pain only to be admitted and diagnosed with Acute Pancreatitis. I am not NEARLY a heavy drinker, in fact I haven't had a drink in over a month and when I do drink, albeit socially, it's once in a great while, not accessive.

They determined there are 3 possible reasons I could have gotten Pancreatitis. 1/ a stone could have passed/formed in the duct that connected to my gallbladder- which was removed, leaving only the duct. 2/ Biaxin could've caused it or 3/ certain types of birth control-- which I started just a few months back with Nuvaring (one of the side effects being Pancreatitis).

While I was in the hospital, my roommate decided to inform me he was dying to move in with his gf and was moving in August instead of next jan/feb. This puts a huge damper on my house fixing plans because I had so much time to save money before he moved and now I'll be in a crunch because my budget is cut so I can put some aside for emergency mortgage payments. Yuk!

I was discharged Thursday, the bitch Dr. refused to fill out my paperwork for work but then my Dr.- whom I saw Friday- agreed to do it. It's just been a bunch of headaches, but guess what?

I'm closing THIS WEEK! Yaaaayeee! Be happy for me! I've got such a great kid and I'm grateful to have her with me every single day. Life could only get a tad bit better than this. BRING ON THE DEMOLITION!! Stay tuned for before and after pics! Hopefully I will feel a bit up to things SOON!

I'm still on a liquid diet, which consists of apple juice, water, chicken broth, jello, etc. The only good thing that's come of this is that I am losing weight like a sonofabitch, but other than that, it bites! Every time I try to introduce bland foods, I find myself going overboard and paying for it with pain later- then I end up right back on liquids again. That's also what I read about it on most of the message boards and what not, and that it is mostly reoccuring! This is not the "time off from work" that I'd hoped for.

One last note, months and months ago I talked about going private. Well, I've decided that I have way too much to say that I don't want vindictive jealous bitches reading and for the sake of privacy and my pictures and stories, I'm just gonna go private. LOL.

That being said, please email me at shellibells at yahoo dot com and I will hook you up when the time comes.

Peace, love and hair grease!
