Funny story. . .

Ok, not pretty but I have to share. It is just too funny from they eyes of my son :)

A couple of weeks ago I had four days of very loose bowels, which lead to a Hemorrhoid. (I have Irritable Bowel, and even though I am hypothyroid, I am rarely constipated. I know you really want to hear all this, but it is life so whatever) No biggie, but then it became a thromboses hemorrhoid. OUCH!! Boy is that painful, had one during my pregnancy and thought I was going to die. Worse than labor in my opinion.

Anyway, they had to drain it, and removed a blot clot larger than a kidney bean. I have pictures if you want to see. . . (ha ha, I do have pictures because I like to see what I can not see on my own, but I will be nice and not share them :)

So, they drain it and that night I beg my husband to go fill the pain pill RX before I go insane. (really, it is excruciating pain). So I laid sideways on the couch all night, and things were better by morning.

This week, my husband and son are over at our warehouse, and while talking to the owner and his daughter, my lovely son of 4 years old, goes into detail with them all about how his mommy had to go to the doctor, and they cut my butt off. YEP! By this time they are all rolling on the floor, as he proceeds to tell them that he had to be extra nice to mommy, and give her kisses because it hurt when they cut off my butt. I wish they could! That would make jean shopping a lot more fun. . .

I have since explained that they only cut into my cheek ( better than explaining the "hole" to him. . .) and removed a blot clot. But I can only imagine what is going through his head, as he talks about the doctor making a cut and "going in". Wow, the mind of a child is amazing!

Just thought I would share, and I hope you find it as funny as I did.

Found nothing. . .

Well, no infectious diseases that they found. This just sucks. I know I am sick, I feel it every day! My right side lymph node is still swollen almost every morning, but goes back to normal after a couple of hours. I still have pain all over, but lately it has gotten a lot better. Unfortunately, I do not know why. I am also feeling stronger. Not from lifting weights or something, just I can actually feel my muscles starting to get back to a normal state of being able to do what I tell them to. Again, no idea why. I am hoping that it just took months for my new Thyroid medications to make a difference, as I no longer need naps in the afternoon (although I still find myself laying on the couch another couple of hours after I get up) and I am not really cold anymore. The one thing that is still bothering me is my hair falling out. You don't notice it on my head, but it is EVERYWHERE in our house, and I can barely keep up with the cleaning before there is more. My husband likes to say I am molting (sp), but not too funny when you end up making your small child pee in front of you just to get the long hair out of his wee wee because it somehow got sucked up in there. Yep, that is how bad it is. GROSS!!! More to come as I hopefully start feeling even better. . now if I could just keep my hair in my head. . .

Still waiting. . .

Well, almost two weeks since blood work was done, so since they didn't call I guess I can assume they didn't find anything. Figures, they never do. If I could just tell them where to look we might be on to something. . .

Until I end up with my own Doctorate, I guess I have to rely on them to figure it out. Boy is that scary! We have all heard stories of loved ones or friend who were sick for ages before anyone figured out what it was, and by then it was too late. Like my own mother, treated for ulcers for almost 9 months before they realized it was liver cancer. Gotta love being herded through the doors like cattle, assuming that anything us silly little patients complain of is just that, silly. No need to continue to get upset at the way the system seems to miss everything. Life goes on (for some of us) so no more complaining.

Today will be the second day of possible food poisoning, or IBS flair up, who knows. Either way I almost want to cry heading back to the bathroom again! At least while in there, I am reading an interesting article on detoxing which I might try, if it could go better than the last two times I tried it.

The first time I tried a detox I bought $300.00 worth of green pills from a "healer", and was instructed to take only the supplements with one salad a day. Well, by day three when I was STILL throwing up anytime I took a pill I had to quit.

The second attempt was while juicing. I could stomach the juice, but amazingly, within an hour I was puking. Too this day I am afraid of beets, since they seemed to take over the taste of the juice.

I just don't think my body wants to be detoxed! It screams and kicks and fights, and frankly I feel better sitting on the couch digesting my food, than running back and forth to the bathroom! Supposedly, I will feel better when it is over, if I ever make it that far. We will see. I haven't finished the article yet, but I think I am on my way there now so I'll let you know if I end up starting it. gotta go!!!!!!!
