How I wish it was another dollar instead! I can't seem to shake this stupid cough. So I'm off to the doctor this afternoon. I'm just not feeling the greatest, and I'm supposed to have 2 treatments this week. I don't want to go. I don't want to do it again without the port. Last time sucked so bad. Ninety minutes to place 2 lines. Stab, stab, stab. Plus, before each treatment I have an appointment with a different doctor. Nice.
Anyway, you'll all be offering me some cheese to go with my whine in a moment, I'm sure. I need carpal tunnel surgery. My hands are so numb and painful in the morning....sometimes for hours. They hurt SO bad....and I sleep with wrist splints on. I have forever. But they don't help enough. I've been diagnosed with it through an EMG (oh, those are SO fun!)...and I've tried the Cortisone shots....which I will NEVER do again. Talk about pain. HOLY CRAP. The shots themselves were brutal enough, but them for 24 hours I had the worst hand pain I've ever had in my life. I cried all night. It was HORRIBLE.
So I need surgery. We've met our out of pocket max. for insurance this year, so it would be 100% covered if I can figure out how to get it done before Decemeber 1.
Then, I still need the port, which will be covered as well.
Saturday I ran a few errands and had lunch with my friend Joanna, and I was just WALKING and hit my big toe with the heel of my other shoe, my cute, summer Birks that I bought in March or April that my feet are FINALLY not too swollen to wear, and the first time I wear them, I BARELY bumped it, and nearly ripped half my toenail off. Started gushing blood, I'm in the bead store...good grief. What else.
Could someone please just move in for about a month and manage my life for me? I'm tired of doing it. Ain't no letting up either. Doug hasn't been feeling well for almost a month as well. And getting him to the doctor is about as easy as getting a vegan to a pig roast. So that just adds more to me. Thank God for Auntie Shawn. Jacob goes there twice a week.
Because I'm supposed to "live a stress-free life." Um, yah. Anyone who can show me how to REALISTICALLY do that.....I'll give you a million dollars. As soon as my money tree starts blooming.

I feel so bad you're going through so much right now!!
It's always one thing or another, sadly so much is beyond our control...
Stay strong, it will get better!!
Hey, send me a twig off that tree and I'll see if I can get it to take root here ;) I know it sounds unappealing, but you are SO right to push to get everything done before the end of the year now that you've hit your OOP max. I'm in the same boat, and I'm scrambling to get the things I need done scheduled. So we're really going to add NaNo to the mix, huh? Maybe we're both crazy . . .
One of my closest friends has Crohn's Disease, which is also an autoimmune disease, so I hear a lot of her updates. I can't say I "know" how you feel but I do understand what you're having to go through.
You're really strong to have a child/spouse added to the mix and still have the desire to enjoy life. Kudos!
Stopped by from SITS... :)
