| Sunday June 11, 2006: Hi everybody, sorry i was gone so long but I really needed a breather after everything that has been going on. Between my family and my own health issues it's been a very tiring and heartbreaking time. My sister and her daughter are starting slowly to try and piece their life back together, and we are all trying our best to help them in the process. It's not easy, losing a loved one. Especially when you are not expecting it. We all quietly celecrated his birthday which was the Friday before in our own way. It brought me to tears hearing that my niece sang happy birthday to him before she went to bed. It's been so hard to get things going again with the wedding plans but now my sister has something to look forward to. So on with the plans. I finally got to see the endocrinologist and I am finally back on glucophage. He said it's a definite must becuase the signs of my PCOS have come on full force instead of gradual. He is also worried that it is possible that I may have an adrenal gland tumor. Considering all the symptoms I went over with him, so I am currently undergoing a slew of blood tests and I am currently collect my pee (yes I did say my pee) for two differnt tests. One bottle for each 24 hour test, and they are currently in my fridge until tomorrow... unbelievable. But now maybe I can finally get some answers as to what has been going on with me all my life. Hopefullu nothing too bad but the mention of Cushing's syndrome or Conn's disease is a possiblity. All treatable, Thank God. At least now I know it's not all in my head and my little sister can get off my back about me not exercising all the time. I really wasn't making it up when I said I couldn't get out of bed, and my muscles always felt weak and shaky. I should have some answers in another week as I have another appointment in a week in a half. Oh and I had my third titan neck lift treatment. This last treatment went well, man I tell you it can be painful. But the new girl was great, I'm so hoping to get her when I go back in 4 weeks. I'll be posting pics of the comparison from before treatment to the halfway point. I know it would better if I had not gained back some weight. Now to find out what's really wrong with my body and how to treat it. And I am fully confident I will be back on the losing track once again. I'll check back next week for another update. Ciao!!!! |

| Thursday June 22, 2006: Woohoo!!! I believe the glucophage is working, cause I dropped another 2 pounds since last week. i still feel fatigued but at least some of that weight is backing off. Well I went back to the endocrinologist and we still don't have any definite answers yet. We are going to continue treating the PCOS, but now I'm seeing a renal specialist. They want to check my renal artery to make sure it's not being squeezed by any kind of scar tissue. Which could be the cause of my high blood tension. Then again I could just have malignant hyper tension, and just be treated for life. Either way I'm confident that we'll have answers soon enough. We can definitely rule out Conn's disease, but I'm not ruling out Cushing's yet either. My poor hand just recovered from last weeks black & blue now it's bruised all over again...lol. In other news I want to send a quick shout out to my WLS friend in the UK. Welcome to the other side Shirley and I pray for your continued success, let me know how things turn out for you!!!! Okay now to the wedding stuff, we just booked our photographer & DJ. I'm still iffy on the whole photographer booking, but their photos were very good and the price was right. I guess I feel in love with the first photographer and her work. But we wouldn't have been able to afford anything more than just the 400 proof photos. I guess what bugs me is the saleswoman with the place we booked. She was so pushy, she didn't give me time to think and it didn't help that my fiance didn't back me up. I know I made the right choice, I guess I'll feel better once it's over and done with. I've seen their reviews on other bridal sites and people have had some really good things to say about them, so I should relax. But I'm a gemini, I have to over analyze everything....lol. Now we make our last payment to the hall next month and buy the invitations. There is still soo much to do. I feel like I'm running out of time, more afraid that we're running out of money. I should have eloped...NOT!!!! Well till next week, ciao!!! |

| Saturday June 30, 2006: Not much happening. Holding steady at 194 and praying the glucophage does it's trick. I'm still waiting on my blood results, but I have a feeling I won't get those until after the ultrasound. I do that next Wednesday, oh joy...lol. At least I won't have to worry about needles. My arms and hand are still bruised from the other week. Well not much else going on. Just have to get some rest cause I am unbelievably tired, and my head has been killing me. Can I just say that I cannot wait until they know what is wrong with me...lol. Anyway I am expecting a new betta fish tomorrow... :) it's the little things that make me happy. Anyway, enjoy your weekend and the 4th!!!! |
