I have a chicken bone in my throat!

Well, having GERD has always been a part of my life, but this chicken bone stuck sideways is a new twist and it SUCKS!  Let me say that if you are on any PPI's please watch for signs of LPR.  I think I might be healing some, besides the chicken bone of course, and for that I am grateful.  I know I like to eat some crazy stuff... but after not being able to eat anything that I know how to cook for 2 months and losing about 16 lbs... I am starting to develop some love for new types of food.  It has forced me to eat different things that I haven't tried before and I have to say.... there are some good stuff out there!!!  At any rate, I have my good days and my bad days.  Bad days consist of the chicken bone in  my throat.  Okay so the whole chicken bone thing might be a little dramatic, but LPR does suck until you get it under control.  And getting it under control takes a long time... I am on month 3.  I still have some issues to over come... but I am determined!

The Nonsense that I Can't Live Without

 Okay! So I have no idea why I wanted this Rooster. I was shopping with Katie and saw this on the shelf and for some reason, which I still can't explain, I could not get it in my shopping cart fast enough!  I just knew that lady behind me was ogling it and it was the only one!  I wasn't taking any chances that she would get it. 
Dennis isn't sure why I needed it or why I insist on calling it Henry, but I did and I do! So ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce you to my new kitchen decor, Henry!

T- Boned Car

 

Matthew totalled his car! :(  He was going to go out for lunch and he and a friend were going to drive over to her car to get a notebook out of her car.  The whole wreck is on tape.  He is traveling down the driving part of the parking lot and turns to go to her car with another car slams into his car... TBONE style.  The insurance company said her speed was 45mph.  The passenger in the other car went by ambulance to the hospital and I took Matthew.  We met Dennis up there and got him fixed up.  He had a MRI and made sure there was no bleeding or swelling to go with his head ache.  He throw up in the parking lot and that only confirmed what the doctor told us.  He had a minor concussion and we had to just watch him for 24 hours. 

Feeling Pewny SUCKS!

Man!  I have not been feeling good at all since July 1.  I have been to 4 doctors, a chiropractor, an ENT and a gastroenterologist.  I have had a rubber hose up my nose, and down my throat.... I have had an endoscope.  I have had an ultra sound and I have been on rounds of antibotics, steriods, and PPI's.  I have had a diagnoses of PLR and then told I did not have that by the Dr that did and read my scope. I am scheduled for a CT scan on Monday to check for stones. And I have been told to get a second opinion with another ENT.  Prayers are appreciated!  I am just ready to get back to normal... or my normal anyway. 

I'm a Rebel

I started my new job this week and so far... it's working out! lol  I am always afraid of working for someone else because when you work for yourself for 20 plus years you don't answer to anyone but yourself, so if you screw up... you just shake your head and fix it!  But working for someone else, someone else might slap me on the hand, and how will I handle that?  I am a rebel!!



This is my office...

I am pretty independent... but working for myself has taught me that.  Getting it done without anyone over your shoulder.  I don't like being watched or told what to do.  I think that will come in handy on this job cause I don't have anyone in the office with me and I still have to get my stuff done, so being able to work without someone breathing down my neck is a job requirement for this one!

However, the staff that I have, so far, been able to work with are a great group of ladies.  School starts this coming week and I wonder how I will handle all the people needing something NOW from one of the counselors.  I hope I am able to keep a handle on everything.  I am ready.... or as ready as I can be.
