7:34 pm - Another sort-of update
|
I had my doctor's appointment today. Dr Bird told me again that my x-ray and blood work were normal, and that is a good sign. He also told me he thinks at least part of my pain is from overuse(specifically, my right arm - - a possible rotator cuff injury - - and my right leg). He ordered a CT scan and PET scan(the CT scan will be quicker, as they do them everywhere here - - for the PET scan, I have to go to Macon) because of my history and for my peace of mind. I told him I needed to know - - this worrying is, no pun intended, killing me.
On that note, my blood pressure was way up today. Normally, it's around 130/70. Today it was 152/104. I know it's because I've been so stressed. This last week has been hell. If I knew for sure that nothing's wrong, I could relax until my next weird symptom, and if I knew for sure something is wrong, I could deal with it. Dr Bird says he really doesn't think my cancer has metastasized - - he knew right away that what I was worried about - - but I'm just not so sure.
Anyway, it was also time for my annual PAP exam, so he did that, and told me to keep a check on my blood pressure. If it's still up when I go back, or if it gets higher, he'll have to give me something for it.
We got the car back Monday, got two new tires put on today, and J put Freon(sp?)in it - - the AC had stopped cooling. So yay, no getting up, taking J to work, going back to bed for a few hours, getting ready for work myself, picking J up, rushing to get to *my* job, and then J coming back to pick me up. It was starting to get to both of us.
So, it's another period of waiting before I know anything definitive. Thanks again for all your sweet comments and good thoughts!

9:10 pm - Happy Thanksgiving!

Just popping in for a second to say Happy Thanksgiving to all my friends and tell you how thankful I am for all of you!
I have to work a few hours in the morning(and, more frightening - - during the Black Friday sale), then we'll be going to J's mom and dad's for dinner tomorrow night. I made pumpkin pie, creamy lemon pie, potato salad, devilled eggs, and I'm doing a green bean casserole when I get home tomorrow.
Love you all! I read, even if I don't write or comment.

Copy this sentence into your livejournal if you're in a non-same-sex marriage, and you don't want it "protected" by the bigots who think that gay marriage hurts it somehow.

7:38 pm - I think I got the job!
|
Assuming I didn't fail the drug test. *g*
I did the final interview, and now they're waiting on the drug test and background check. It *is* a pharmacy job, part time for now. But it's a job!
I'm sorry about the long ranty post I made the other day. I should be looking on the bright side - - I have a job when a lot of people don't. As for the transportation, we'll just have to work it out. And the heat and air - - I'm still pissed it's messed up, but I've gotten spoiled. When I was growing up, we used a fireplace for heat and fans for cooling. Daddy was very old fashioned.
Is anyone else affected by the gas shortage? We went by Wal Mart last night for gas, and they were out. We'd already gotten a gas card and had to go get our money back and go to Enmark because Wal Mart was out for the second time in a week. That's scary.

10:28 pm - Unwanted excitement here this afternoon
|
|
This afternoon around 5, I went and told J I was going to have a nap, told him to wake me up in an hour or so, and left him playing WoW. The next thing I knew, the smoke alarm was shrieking, and there was smoke in the living room. I jumped up and ran around like crazy trying to see what was on fire. It smelled like burning plastic. Luckily, J had the presence of mind to flip the main breaker. We figured out it was coming from the AC vents. J called his dad, and he and my MIL came and J and his dad turned breakers on one at a time, and since nothing caught fire, they decided it is, indeed, the AC - - either a short circuit or these #%$@&* squirrels have eaten through a wire. It was too dark tonight to do anything about it, so my FIL is coming back tomorrow to see what he can do to fix it. I just stopped shaking.
