Aww I hope he feels better!

Ugh, I’m sorry about the sickness. I hope everyone feels better soon! As for the bladder meds, I think I’d probably do it and deal with the bottles. Having a dodgy bladder is SO uncomfortable.

*worries*

sorry about the bladder- one of my other faves suffers from that and it sucks. Hope your whole family is well soon!

and i like your diary colors.

RYN: About your kidneys. Kidney problems terrify me because of SLE. Organ involvement of any kind terrifies me but the kidneys & liver scare me the most as they are so connected with the rest of the body. They can cause other complications that can be so serious.. I just hope you are going to be ok.

haha. Ship him to me. Or I can swing by while we’re in Ontario this summer and pick him up. haha.

That’s good you went to the doctor. You’ll make the best decision for you.

Hope everyone is feeling better really soon xxx

RYN: I bleached it so I could dye it a lighter shade of brown. I think I look ok blonde, just not yellow lol

RYN: Actually yeah, as I was straightening my hair this morning I did have some 2nd thoughts BUT I’ve already bought the $50 dread kit AND this color will look awesome as dreads so the plan stands 🙂

4 to 6 boneless / skinless chicken breasts 1 jar pasta sauce (or home made) 1 medium onion 1 rib celery 4 cloves garlic 1/2 teaspoon salt you throw everything into the crock pot together and put on low for 4-6 hours. Near the end you may add 2 tblspoons water, 1 tblespoon corn starch although i forgot and didn’t. Serve over mashed potatoes or pasta. It was okay, the chicken part was

really good (and i’m extremely picky about chicken) but the pasta sauce wasn’t great, i guess that part’s up to the individual!

HOLD THE SHOW i meant 6 – 8 hours, not 4 to 6. I hope no one reads that last note and gets some weird stomach problem (meat-itis).

RE: The idea of a catheter scares me too. But I am getting worse. I just don’t know what to do anymore. My bladder is starting to ruin my life. 🙁 I definitely don’t eat too little. Haha. I eat over 3,000 calories a day! My lunch and my dinner are very large. The reason I only drink hot chocolate for breakfast is because I am always still soo stuffed from dinner the previous night that I wouldfeel sick if I ate food. Thank you for the notes! 🙂 I am soooooooooooooo ready for Spring too!!!

RE: Hahaha, YES I definitely do need to lose weight – both my doctors agreed. I have a very pudgy belly (and that’s bad for my bad back). I am short and have a very short torso. I am 5’3″. Now, if I were 5’8″ or so, and my torso was longer, the weight would probably look excellent on me. But it’s not like that. 🙁 I wear bigger pants than my husband! I have a 36″ waist. ICK!!!

RE: Sounds like we have a lot in common! I have always had bad headaches. I have a bad back and shoulders too – so I started seeing a chiropracter in 2004. It would probably help me more if I could go weekly, but I can’t afford that! It’s $40 a session and that is much more than I can afford! No, I have not always had bladder problems. I have always had to pee a “lot” but NOTHING like this. Itstarted getting bad some time last year. I have no idea what is wrong with my bladder. I went to my normal doctor and he did a urine test and a urine culture – all fine. Then he sent me to a urologist (the oh so handsome one!) and he did a urine test and an ultrasound of my bladder. Nothing showed up. He first tried me on Detrol. That seemed to work SLIGHTLY, as in I peed 10 times compared to 15/20 times. But it didn’t really help me much. So he switched me to Oxybutrin – that was AWFUL. It made my headaches worse and my mouth was so dry it was painful. And my peeing did not get better at all. It seemed to get worse! So I called him back and told the nurse but they have not called me back and it has been 2 weeks now. 🙁 I went back to taking the Detrol but it doesn’t seem to help at all

RE: Really? I would have guessed you were about 130 pounds from your picture up there – you look really thin! But I know how pictures can deceive. In my pics, I look fairly good but in reality I am bigger. Most people think I look thin in my pictures but I was used to being 104 pounds for YEARS and YEARS, so being 135 feels HUGE! You know what I mean? You can tell a definite difference in my pictures from 2001 than my pictures from now. It makes me sad. But I just SUCK at losing weight. I can’t seem to do it no matter what! I could care less right now though. I just want my bladder fixed! ya know? They did the ultrasound thingee on me to see if I empty my bladder and they said I do. But I’m like – HOW is that possible?? Because right after they did the test I had to pee again! How can it be empty if I still FEEL urine in there? I don’t get it. I’m just so scared of what will have to be done if none of these meds work…. I’ll try to find a picture for you of me.

thanks for your note. i hope they gett well soon 🙂

RE: Oh okay. LOL. Just had to check since you looked so much like her! Well, that’s true that my posture was better back then, but it’s definitely not just that. I mean, I weighed 105 pounds then and I have gained 30 pounds since. 🙁 I have can also not fit into any of the shorts I wore back then. I can’t fit into my shirts either. So I can definitely tell that I gained a lot of weight. Hmmmm… what was I doing back then to be thinner? To be honest, I don’t know. I exercised LESS back then! And I ate a LOT LOT LOT more ice-cream back then. I used to eat like 4 cups of ice-cream a day back then. Maybe I should go back to eating ice-cream instead of breads and pasta. It seemed to keep me a lot thinner!

aww poor lil guys!!! hope they are feeling better soon!!
