Dedicated to Lucrece…

Last treatment….YOU HAVE SURVIVED and now we party!!!!

Like a virgin….

That was how it felt to have an endometrial biopsy in the gynie’s office when one has never given birth vaginally. Yes, both of my children were c-sections, so, my adorable cervix is, indeed, like a virgin!

Anyhow, I am awaiting the test results to see if there is something cooking in my womanly walls that is causing these extra periods. I loved how the doctor explained it…

“Your brain hasn’t read the book. All it knows is that you have a couple ovaries down there still cooking and it wants to send out the juice that makes em do what they usually do (Go sunny-side up, I guess??) So, your body might actually be doing this all by itself and the Femhrt is just maybe pushing the envelope enough that it kicks me into a period.”

Ah, said I. So as long as this biopsy indicates that all is right with the western wall, then this is just an inconvenience? A major one at that, but truly, an inconvenience.

So, I should hear back shortly about the biopsy results and await my next period on October 12 which is 19 days from the last one…if the cycles still works as previously noted and just 12 short days from now. Damn, I really need to use my hottub more before I start having 30 day periods!

Check back for results

8 months, part deux

I’m mad as hell and i’m not gonna take it anymore….

A Message from a Colleague—

Are you Mad as Hell yet?? You should be—-

You didn’t get mad when the Supreme Court stopped a legal recount and appointed a President.
You didn’t get mad when Cheney allowed Energy company officials to dictate energy policy.
You didn’t get mad when a covert CIA operative got outted.

You didn’t get mad when the Patriot Act got passed.
You didn’t get mad when we illegally invaded a country that posed no threat to us.

You didn’t get mad when we spent over 600 billion (and counting) on said illegal war.
You didn’t get mad when over 10 billion dollars just disappeared in Iraq .

You didn’t get mad when you saw the Abu Grahib photos.

You didn’t get mad when you found out we were torturing people.

You didn’t get mad when the government was illegally wiretapping Americans.

You didn’t get mad when we didn’t catch Bin Laden.

You didn’t get mad when you saw the horrible conditions at Walter Reed.

 

You didn’t get mad when we let a major US city drown.

You didn’t get mad when the deficit hit the trillion dollar mark.

You finally got mad when the government decided that people in America deserved the right to see a doctor if they are sick.

Yes, illegal wars, lies, corruption, torture, stealing your tax dollars to make the rich richer, are all okay with you but helping other Americans … well forget that.

 

Time for Americans to get mad as hell at ALL THINGS that UNDERMINE US, EMBARRASS  US, LOWER US in the eyes of the world…and DO SOMETHING to make a positive change…besides bitching and moaning!

MAKE A DIFFERENCE DAY is coming up at the end of OCTOBER. Good time to DO SOMETHING FOR ALL AMERICANS!

How to become Nazi- lesson 1

As I read the newspapers, watch the news stories on various channels (YES, I try to listen to all sides) and listen to the various conversations, or shall I call them hystrionics, surrounding me, I have come to a very chilling conclusion….

 

The CURRENT REPUBLICAN PARTY is doing a spot-on perfect job at teaching the sheep of this country how to become Nazis.

 

Yes, they really are.  Let’s look at a few examples. 

 

#1 Place blame—blame EVERYONE else around for all of the problems and ills of the country….Hitler blamed the Jews…for the Republicans, it is THE LIBERAL LEFT and the black man in office.  Let’s not kid ourselves folks….the  republicans are scared to death having Barack Obama in the Oval Office.  They would be scared to death to have anyone other than a WHITE MAN in the Oval Office.

#2 Limit Speech—call it censoring, call it whatever you want; when you have a group of screaming out of control people who don’t have the decency to allow others with opposing opinions have the time to state their opnions OR when you have people start screaming about mind control and brainwashing when the President of your country asks to address school children about staying in school and working hard…that IS CENSORSHIP.   I watched lots and lots of broadcasts related to the outrage that President Obama wants to control the minds of the nation’s children…and guess what folks…IT WAS ALL WHITE PEOPLE who were screaming….I did not see ONE person of color (ANY COLOR) carrying on, crying, literally crying about their lost parental control.  GET A GRIP people!

#3 Sequester/Isolate/take away all rights—let’s see; one of the more recent cases of this is what happened in New Orleans after Katrina; we know what a masterful job President Bush (see, I am repectful even if he was likley the worst president in our history) did with that one; it has taken Harry Connick Jr. and Brad Pitt to really make a difference after all the political platitudes were over and the people of NOLA were once again forgotten AND let’s not foget HOMELAND SECURITY…our rights are trickling away in front of our eyes and too many people are content sitting back and saying how wonderfully our country is taking care of us…HA!

#4  Propoganda mouthpieces- can you say Glen Beck, Ann Coulter, and Bill O’Reilly (although I do have to admit that I have actually heard O’Reilly give President Obama postive credit for some things!) Shout louder and longer and keep on shouting. Twist the truth as much as you possibly can, cause NOBODY who listens to you would EVER question what you say—that makes you anti American! (Cause after all the blackslapping wooha, any misstep on your part makes you ‘one of the enemy’ too)

 

I am chilled and incensed by this irrational and unprofessional and unproductive (at least to help IMPROVE things in America it is unproductive) behavior.  I hope, with all my being, that people can calm down, try to think clearly and OBJECTIVELY and can move in a more bipartisan way towards making postive changes for all Americans…

Blatant racism, Heil Beck, Heil Coulter, Heil Cheney, Heil Palin is not what I want to see happening in my America and that is the road we look to be heading down…shudder…

OMG, not AGAIN!?!

Ahem, do you recall this post?

Ummm, how many days ago was that? 

19 days?

19 DAYS!

This morning I awoke at 4:45AM and had a slight pain in my stomach so I thought I better go to the potty.  I head off with my book in hand, cause who knows what exactly will transpire while sitting there?! Ohhhhhh, I think I better sit for a bit and I do so and read a tad. Maybe 10 minutes later I go to do the usual thing that one does and FREAK STRAIGHT OUT because the toilet is filled with BLOOD!!! I mean bright red blood.

“Well”, I think, “this isn’t right! I better just go back to bed” cause you know that sleep fixes everything, right?

I get back into bed and DD asks if everything is OK and I tell him that I’ll let him know in the morning. I could frickin be dead in the morning for chrissakes!

So, I sleep in until 9:15 and go back to the potty and this time get me a 5 oz Dixie cup to do some collecting….annnnnnd….blood and clots.

OK. Yep, there is definitely something not right about this.  So, I head downstairs, tell DD that I am bleeding from God knows where (cause I sure as shit don’t know for sure) and call my doctor to tell him he really kinda needs to see me cause I’m like bleeding chunks!

 

Well, here’s a shout out to our health system cause he called the closest hospital (which is NOT in his immediate network) and ordered a series of tests for me STAT. I was in the hospital today from 10:45 AM until 3:30 PM getting all sorts of blood work, urine tests, and a complete abdominal CT scan…STAT. DD, he is wonderful, really, came with me and sat in a waiting room all that time pretty much just waiting, and waiting, and waiting.

So, the verdict after all of that?  Sit down folks.

 

I . GOT. MY. FRICKIN.  PERIOD, AGAIN. ‘FULL METAL JACKET’ VERSION.

 

Two periods in 19 days…is that a record of some kind? 

 

I called the gynie to alert him to the fact that there was blood coming from the nether regions and my PCP was sending me for tests.  News at 11.  I have to call him back on Tuesday (after our Labor Day holiday…how funny is that…I’m here giving birth to clots) to let him know about this.

I don’t think this is what he meant when he said that ‘this is not unusual’ last time. 

 

I’ll let you know what he says this time.

 

So, I am about to purchase stock in Tampons…cause if this happens to me, then WHOA, I could get rich with all the others it might could happen to too!

Oh, and let’s see….19 days from today is: September 23…be sure to check back that day to see what else rears its little head!

Exactly 9 months from today

Lilacspecs and CB will be getting married!  I told them it would come around fast…
