Berea, Kentucky

I took this photo in March, outside the restaurant we ate at in Berea. It was so wonderful to go from freezing cold Indiana to Berea, where it was in the 80's and signs of sign were abundant!

Never thought I'd say it!!

I never thought I'd say it, but I was SO happy to go to Wal-mart last night! It is the first time I've been to the store in about 8 days. It was fun getting out! I'm still weak, so hubby took me and he did most of the grocery shopping. I just wondered around as if I hadn't seen the light of day in 5 years! LOL
The meds are working and the bleeding is under control! I have 2 more days of meds to take and after that, I'm wondering if the bleeding will resume? My pharmacist husband thinks it will. We'll see, I guess.

BTW, it's been 12 days since my biopsy and NO word yet. I called today and they marked my message to the RN as urgent and said someone WOULD be calling me back today. Well, here it is, after 8 PM. No word from anyone. Grrrrrrr. I am not nervous about the results, I just want to know what's going on so that we can FIX it!!!!!

Brrrr!!!!

Low of 38* tonight and scattered frost! We had to turn the furnace back on today. Did I mention it's May 17?? Such is life in Indiana.
On another note, my hubby has been a HUGE blessing to me this week while I've been nearly out of commission. He brought me roses and daisies, fixed me a snack basket and sat it on my nightstand because it was hard for me to get out of bed a couple days and he had to work. And for the same reason, he fixed me up a little cooler with drinks in it and sat it beside the bed too. How sweet is that?? He has totally taken care of me. I'm shocked-he's in the kitchen, mopping the floor right now!! LOL...Woohoo!

Mother's Day

I spent Mother's Day in the ER with uncontrolable bleeding. Saturday and Sunday, I bled through an "overnight" pad every hour and the DR on call at my DR's office said to go to the ER. I got my first catheter! Woohoo. After lots of testing, I was given a script for Provera 20 mg. to take for 10 days, which will slow the bleeding down. Monday was horrible. I woke up, laying in blood. I've been wearing 2 overnight pads & a Depends at the same time, while sleeping on a shower curtain liner.
I'm still waiting on the biopsy results. Today (Wed.) I'm feeling some better. But, I'm REALLY mad that Melinda Doolittle got voted off American Idol!!!!!!! lol

Biopsy

Well, I lived to tell about it! lol It wasn't nearly...not even close...as painful as the previous one I had, so I'm a happy camper!! The waiting is the very worst part!!! I waited for 2 hours the DR to come in!!!! In the meantime, I was so nervous I made 5 or 6 trips to the bathroom!
I'll have the results in a week or so.

New appointment

My nurse called this morning and my biopsy has been moved from May 17 to May 9. YAY! I'm looking forward to getting it over with!
Thanks to everyone for all the prayers going up on my behalf!
I am on 2400 mg of Motrin a day for the pain. The meds numbed me up good enough today so that I was able to get some housework done! That was such a relief as I'm sure Fred is ready to send me away or leave himself! LOL
No, not really. He's a true blessing. Very helpful! I am very blessed!

DR's visit

At my last DR's appointment, I learned that my endometrial lining is too thick and that I need to have a biopsy. I have gone through this before, so hopefully, it won't be a big deal. My biopsy was scheduled for May 17, but I called yesterday to see if I could get it done sooner. I need some relief from ovary pain!
I'm at the library, using their computer as something is wrong with our phone line at home. People can call in and leave messages, but we can't hear the phone ring nor can we get a dial tone. Bummer!
