It's amazing to me how one week I can feel on top of the world and by the next I'll have crashed down. I was feeling so energetic and then about mid-last week I just suddenly got tired. Thursday & Friday I attempted the Curves workout, but didn't finish. I started getting hints of my next migraine and as a result, once again turned to my addiction of Tylonal and Vocodin. I haven't been able to eat in a few days due to insurance being a butt about my stomach medication. I just have no appetite and the whole digestive system hurts. Sunday morning I passed out... again. One second I was putting together my morning meds, the next I was hugging the counter for dear life. Then I was on my back staring at the ceiling and feeling oh so relaxed. Miss Kitty & Waldo were circling me in confusion. I now sport several bruises/welts on my chest although I'm not sure how they got there. This evening I managed to get a partial prescription on the stomach meds, so hopefully I will start eating now. I didn't even attempt Curves today although I really want to tomorrow. It has become something that I really look forward to each day.kittywhisprerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12623335903447400416noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8009004341468346113.post-50974794433844897712008-03-07T12:45:00.000-08:002008-03-07T12:49:38.188-08:00To my sister on her BIRTHDAY!Today is Krystal's Birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY! <br /><br />Krys turns 19 today. She's growing up fast - although my mom won't admit it. Two nights ago my mom called both me and Shelly in a panic because Krys had gone somewhere without her purse. So let us all hope that my mom realizes SOON that Krys is an ADULT.<br /><br />Krys I want to say that you mean a lot to me. You've helped me throughout the years - unselfishly feeding me and cleaning up after me when needed. Quite the little nurse you can be :) You're in college now, and in a couple of years you'll even transfer out of state. You're finding your way in this world, but always know that I'm here for you.

I was really tired, but I still managed to get over to Curves for my workout. Well, I got back from Curves and went to check my mail. I felt inside the pocket of my purse where I keep the key and discovered there was only 1 key in there. Automatically I pictured the mail key sitting on my counter. Crap - I forgot to grab it. I drive around to my parking lot, grab my stuff, and head up to my apartment. Here is where I reach into my purse and pull out the mail key. Oh! So I have it after all - this means that it must be my apartment key sitting on the counter. Crap. I didn't want to call and bug the realitor, so I go back down to my car and call 411. "I need a locksmith!" She lists 3 in the area and asks which one I'd like. I said 'whatever one can get me into my apartment.' She connects me with one and I wait 20-30 minutes while the guy tries to find my place. Meanwhile, it's getting cold and the longer I wait, the more I need a bathroom! He finally makes it and begins work on my door after checking my ID. He tries forever to pick my lock. I walk circles as I wait in my uncomfortable condition and I watch as two separate neighbors leave their apartments giving curious looks. The locksmith guy tries various techniques and finally admits that he would need to drill it. Time to call the realitor. He says he has a spare key and can be here in 40 minutes. I pay the locksmith his service fee and head to a McDonalds. I rarely eat fast food anymore, but I figure I can get a cheeseburger for their bathroom services. I come back with the cheeseburger in my purse and wait another 25 minutes for the realitor. He finally makes it laughing up the stairs. He was very nice and said he won't charge me this time. Then he asks if I've found a job yet - and I knew he would ask. How do I tell him that I'm actually considering disability? I look normal to anyone who doesn't know me. I think he was just looking for conversation anyway. I could've offered him a drink, but the place is a mess and it would have been embarrassing for him to see. So he takes off and I come inside. I look on my counter 'where the heck is that key?' Can't find it. I check my purse again even though I had checked all pockets earlier and wouldn't you know it? There's the key! In the purse the whole time!<br /><br />Time to go eat the cheeseburger...kittywhisprerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12623335903447400416noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8009004341468346113.post-40941402027934508472008-03-04T13:33:00.000-08:002008-03-04T13:44:47.966-08:00Wacko March WeatherMy darn knee has been acting up the past 2 weeks. I can't seem to shake the arthritis and I'm back to taking tylonal/vicodin every night. Also, I'm really tired of having to take the steps one at a time. I've run out of most of my medications, but I have a few days left on the main ones. I'll have to call insurance tomorrow and see what's going on.<br /><br />Weather here is crazy. Saturday it was 80 degrees, sunny & warm. I layed in the hammock thinking of the impossible tan. Sunday morning I woke up to a blizzard. Several inches of snow that day - I stayed inside. On Monday - it was warm and most of the snow melted away. I was amazed because there was a lot of snow! Today is extremely windy. So loud! Tomorrow it's supposed to snow again.<br /><br />I'm tired today. Kind of surprises me because I've been so energetic the past week. Guess I'm allowed a day off.kittywhisprerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12623335903447400416noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8009004341468346113.post-33273408509543528532008-02-29T12:35:00.000-08:002008-02-29T13:22:22.119-08:00Feeling good!The last 3 days have been excellent for me. I've had more energy than normal. I don't know if it's the Curves work out or this new supplement that I'm trying (Mannatech) or the fact that I'm out of certain medications, but I've actually been able to get myself out of bed in the MORNING instead of dragging myself out in the late afternoons. As a result, I'm enjoying this spell of nice weather and I'm looking for activities. I went to the zoo yesterday. I tired quickly - like right at the beginning of my tour, but that's okay. I just shuffled through the animals for the next 2 hours.<br /><br />I just got off the phone with my very excited grandma. Took me about 2 weeks to return her call. Before this conversation ended I found myself saying that I will call again next week. I hate the phone. People usually have a hard time understanding my voice, so I hide out on the internet. When my cell phone contract is up (in August) - I'm looking for a cheaper plan. Maybe a pay-as-you-go one because I hardly use any minutes as it is. <br /><br />I made a discovery today that made me totally excited! Back in California, I use to get hot dogs from Safeway that were lower sodium than the norm. Usually a hot dog is easily in the 600s, but these hot dogs are like 250mg or around there. Well, when I moved to Colorado - I couldn't find lower sodium dogs anywhere! I looked at Safeway, Albertsons, Walmart, Target, etc. The best I found was my last trip to Walmart and it's a bag of mini dogs. 4 of them equalling one regular high sodium hot dog. So I got that and I just put two mini in half a hot dog bun and call it a meal. Well, today I was at King Scoopers and I FOUND MY LOW SODIUM HOT DOGS! So I'm excited. I should buy a grill now that the weather is finally getting nicer.kittywhisprerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12623335903447400416noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8009004341468346113.post-37486115854709607792008-02-27T16:03:00.000-08:002008-02-27T16:11:43.492-08:00Outdoor plansI found a great park & recreational center today. There's a lake there and I packed a lunch and ate it by the water. It was nice although I quickly realized that I'm going to need a hat. Tomorrow I plan to check out the Denver Zoo, so I'll probably pick one up there. Admittedly I'm sure it'll be expensive. I'm trying to find outdoor activities to keep me out and busy because otherwise I don't sleep at night (especially now that I can't refill the ambien) and I stay up all night thinking depressing thoughts.kittywhisprerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12623335903447400416noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8009004341468346113.post-85399382806165462922008-02-25T17:57:00.000-08:002008-02-25T18:05:31.760-08:00Biopsy ResultsI got a call this morning about the biopsy results. The abcess is a micro__________ infection. Good job me! I got part of it this time. Anyway, to quote the nurse "It is very rare but is becoming more common in young women who get pedicures." I laughed hard. Must've startled her. I did get a pedicure - which is still partially on my toes - and I got it last May. Then I thought about it. When did the first lesion rash appear on my wrist? Last May. And yes, it is also now on my toes. So I will be seeing dermatology... once I get insurance.<br /><br />Question: I was driving through the neighborhoods this afternoon and I noticed that everyone has dead grass from the snow. So how does that get fixed? Does everyone replant their lawn every Spring?<br /><br />Walking through the Easter candy aisle at Walmart - it reminded me that I have Easter candy from last year hidden at my parents still. I have this habit of hiding my 'naughty' foods in drawers. Out of sight, out of mind. Then every once in a while when I open that drawer - Surprise! I get a treat. Helps me not to eat it all at once. So upstairs in a drawer, I have Easter candy! One bag still unopened I believe. Wonder how long it lasts?kittywhisprerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12623335903447400416noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8009004341468346113.post-63935535270310748862008-02-23T22:21:00.000-08:002008-02-23T22:28:31.497-08:00ChurchI went to church this evening. The one that the Curves manager told me about. It's a really big church (6 services - 2 via satelite). Anyway, worship was okay, but I didn't care for the guest speaker. They're finishing missionary month apparently and they have a guest speak. He had a really bad accent and tended to say a statement 4-5 times before moving on, so it got boring really fast and I had a hard time concentrating. That and the two girls in front of me were very distracting. Now I can understand a little kid needing to squirm and draw during a sermon, but the older of these two sisters looked to be in junior high. These girls wrote notes the whole time and squirmed like they had big ants in their clothing. They also had drinks with them. Strawberry shakes to be exact. I know because the older one put hers under her chair and then kicked it. It spilled all over the carpet (in the middle of the AWANA circle!). I wrote on a piece of paper 'drink spilled under chair' and handed it to the smaller girl. She, in turn, leaned over and whispered to the bigger girl. One of them bent over, but apparently not finding the spilled drink - they went on with their giggles. At the end of service the bigger girl found her spilled drink and picked it up. The little girl asked her about it and big girl began to bob and giggle (this is during the closing song) as if she was the coolest thing in the world because her drink had spilled. You can bet they didn't clean it up. I left during the closing song. I think I'd like a smaller church.kittywhisprerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12623335903447400416noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8009004341468346113.post-52999768394513720792008-02-22T18:42:00.000-08:002008-02-22T19:40:35.116-08:00A Salty NightI have completed week 2 on Curves. When do I see results? Well, tonight won't help. I went to Walmart afterward hoping to get my prescriptions cheaper there than at Walgreens (since I currently don't have insurance). It was more expensive, so once again I didn't get them. Anyway, going through the aisles proved that it's a bad idea after working out at curves and I picked up several salty items. So tonight will be my end of the week celebration night where I can pig out on whatever I want. On the menu: mini hot dogs (still a little better than a regular sodium wise), pickles, fritos corn chips, and fruit! Gotta have something kinda healthy.<br /><br />Tomorrow I plan to check out the evening service of a church around here. I am soooo sluggish in the mornings that I thought maybe the evening service might be a better shot for me.<br /><br />Check out this video!<br /><br /><object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/jwMj3PJDxuo&rel=1&border=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/jwMj3PJDxuo&rel=1&border=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent"width="425" height="355"></embed></object>kittywhisprerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12623335903447400416noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8009004341468346113.post-57117854538583686792008-02-19T18:30:00.000-08:002008-02-19T18:42:43.764-08:00I repaired(replaced) it myself!Today was a warm day. So nice. Tomorrow is suppose to be cold again. I made two trips outside today. The first - I had to go get a new showerhead from Walgreens.<br /><br />Yesterday's shower came to an adrupt end when the water suddenly turned cold and began to spray up at the ceiling. This of course was a shock to me as I had been daydreaming with conditioner in my hair. I turned off the water, which signaled to the cats that I was supposedly ready to be joined for my escort out of the bathroom. Instead of grabbing my robe and stepping out though, I now stood in the bathtub with a confused look on my face as I stared first at the showerhead and then the tiny bathroom sink. Miss Kitty also glanced back and forth between me and the bathroom sink in confusion before turning around and heading back out. I tried the water in the tub again only to find more oddly sprayed cold water and had no choice but to bend over and try my best to rinse my hair in the sink.<br /><br />I later decided to get a closer look at the showerhead and discovered that it fell into my hand at touch. The plastic had completely snapped. So first thing this morning I headed to Walgreens and bought the only showerhead available. I screwed it in when I returned home and walah! A nice hot shower was produced. The spray on this head is wonderful, so much stronger!<br /><br />Shelly left me a message earlier saying that she got some info for me on disability. I've been so distracted with the insurance mess that I completely forgot about disability. That could be a life saver for me as I literally am unable to get a job at the moment. However, I don't know how this all works so it still needs investigation.kittywhisprerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12623335903447400416noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8009004341468346113.post-89090648974296079352008-02-17T16:38:00.000-08:002008-02-17T17:07:56.252-08:00delaysInsurance rejected the last two medications. One was a refill - so I still have some left, but when it runs out I'm definitely in trouble. It's my potassium - the one that makes me pass out if I don't take it. The other is a new one for cholestorol. I'm supposed to get blood drawn on Wednesday for this, but obviously it will all have to be pushed back. I did also cancel my renal appointment - the one that took over 3 months to schedule. Hopefully the new clinic won't be as difficult once I'm ready again. <br /><br />Car insurance runs out soon also, so I'm in the process of researching that as well.<br /><br />It's cold. Snowflakes are beginning to fall. Tomorrow is a holiday which slows everything down. Kinda bad timing.<br /><br />Jehovah's Witness knocked on my door yesterday. Fortunately for me I looked through the peek hole to see the two men in their suits. This enabled me to mutter an irritated 'Heck No!' before crawling back into bed. They left a pamplet.kittywhisprerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12623335903447400416noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8009004341468346113.post-51808727693339903702008-02-13T17:09:00.000-08:002008-02-13T17:29:14.482-08:00The ResultsI made it to the doctor and to Curves today, but not to insurance. So tomorrow I must get myself over there. <br /><br />The doctor took a biopsy of the abcess on my leg. She doesn't think it's a normal abcess due to the various patches of rash, the different lumps, and the extremely high white blood count. She mentioned some name of some kind of thingy, but there's no way I'm going to remember or pronounce it. So I didn't bother try. Apparently though, it's treatable, but if left alone turns into luekymia or whatever. Hence she wanted to see me for a biopsy. My philosophy - do what they say, see the new doctors, don't add it to the worry list unless it becomes serious because if I freak out over every little thing that goes wrong with me - I'll be my mom and you may as well shoot me now.<br /><br />I have 2 out of 4 prescriptions. Still waiting on insurance for the other two. Insurance ends tomorrow so I hope it goes through. I talked to the conversion insurance person today about doing a month at a time for this plan that'll cost me more than my monthly rent. There will be a gap in coverages, but I'm hoping it's not a big gap because I have 3 referrals out to doctors that I need to see and prescriptions that I'll need.<br /><br />For other news. I stopped by Petsmart today and made a reservation for my 3 babes to stay with them when I'm in California. Anyone care to know the total damage? $280 + $280 + $210 = $770 as the bill. I got two cages - one for Waldo/Miss Kitty and the other for Winslow (since he can be a bit much for the other two). <br /><br />It's extremely warm weather today. I have the back door open for the cats, but Miss Kitty was really the only one interested in exploring the balcony. The boys just sit in the doorway. Probably because there's a dog walking around on the balcony below us. It's supposed to snow Thursday night - big storm - so they had better take advantage of this weather.<br /><br />I totally enjoyed Curves today. I couldn't do one machine because of the biopsy, but I got a good workout on the rest.<br /><br />Time to put the sticky paws on the couch and see if I can prevent some damage. Darn cats.kittywhisprerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12623335903447400416noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8009004341468346113.post-52870595422502259752008-02-12T20:51:00.000-08:002008-02-12T21:09:59.735-08:00PreparingI'm in a bit of trouble. I saw the doctor today - my primary. She's referring me to a new renal clinic since I haven't been able to get in to see the current one. Anyway, it was a major migraine day so I was in a lot of pain. It didn't help that I was fasting for some bloodwork. The combination meant that I couldn't stand for more than a few seconds. They gave me a shot in the butt or the migraine. Worked like a charm for the head pain although I later hobbled very sorely through Walgreens.<br /><br />It's about 10pm now. A Dr. Walsh from the clinic called me a few minutes ago. She said the lab had just paged her about my results. Crap, I've been through this before. Something about my white blood count being over 18,000 & other stuff. None of my labs are normal. She said she didn't think I needed to head to emergency (where exactly is that?) since nothing's really changed in the past 24 hours but she'd like to see me tomorrow. My guess is that any other lucky patient would be heading down there about now, but I have a history of abnormality. She wants to take a biopsy of the abcess since it hasn't healed and it's been two months. Plus I have the beginnings of other abcesses. I'm thinking the bad blood results have more to do with the fact that I get faint every time I have a coughing fit.<br /><br />Here's where it gets sticky. My Blue Shield of California insurance ends on Thursday (Happy Valentines!). Cover Colorado won't take me until I've lived here for 6 months. I have plans to go to the office tomorrow and do paperwork, but now that - and Curves- kinda depends on what happens with the doctor. I need to call Blue Anthem of Colorado tomorrow about a 'conversion plan' to cover me until Cover Colorado begins. This conversion plan will cost me more than my rent each month.<br /><br />At least the cats are set up. They can easily be left alone for a week. It may not be ideal, but should something happen - I don't think I'll be able to get them to Petsmart. They have two automatic litter boxes and a regular upstairs, a huge bag of food sitting open in the kitchen, and a toilet for their drinking use. Waldo has been sneezing a lot the past two days, so I'm hoping this doesn't turn into a cold - especially if I'm not here.kittywhisprerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12623335903447400416noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8009004341468346113.post-10953181092501931602008-02-11T17:53:00.000-08:002008-02-11T17:58:17.936-08:00MissingI just got a reverse 911 call from the Thornton police department asking everyone to check their yards, garages, homes, etc. for an 8 year old boy that went missing this afternoon. I don't know when I became such an emotional sap, but things like that make me tear up like crazy now. I was passed by 6 speeding police cars on my way home from Curves today (which would be about the time that the kid went missing). I was thinking it was some kind of chase that they were on their way to join since some went straight while others turned down my street. I've been planning to watch the news to see if I could get some answers - maybe it was the kid. Maybe they'll flash his picture for me.kittywhisprerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12623335903447400416noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8009004341468346113.post-25453304370368167202008-02-11T15:44:00.000-08:002008-02-11T15:49:15.633-08:00Session 1I went to Curves today for my first workout. I had fun! I go back on Wednesday. I was chatting with the lady during stretches at the end and she asked me about church. I told her that I haven't found one yet and she told me of one called Crossroads that sounds good. So I'm excited. Productive day.kittywhisprerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12623335903447400416noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8009004341468346113.post-90651836452000904482008-02-08T15:54:00.001-08:002008-02-08T16:00:27.439-08:00Tent KittyWaldo loves the tent. He spent all afternoon sleeping in yet. Last night he got too playful and started pouncing on it. So I zipped the door shut to keep him out. Then I could hear the constant scratching/pawing at the door. I went upstairs again and took the polls out. I think he spent the night sleeping on the flat tent.<br /><br />Today I went to Curves and signed up. I need something to get me out of the house and this will build me up so that I can apply for a good job without collapsing in exhaustion. They were playing Christian music. I should've asked the lady about churches because it's hard to tell about a church by the website. I want to find a church that isn't huge so that I feel overwhelmed, but that's not so small that I'm the obvious visitor.kittywhisprerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12623335903447400416noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8009004341468346113.post-53856308021579346192008-02-07T16:25:00.000-08:002008-02-07T16:45:45.993-08:00Another Birthday!Happy Birthday to James! My list says that today James should be out celebrating with family & friends :)<br /><br />I bought a tent. I know that sounds crazy (especially since it's snowy outside), but I'm putting it upstairs in the loft. It's going to be my new hideout assuming that the cats don't destroy it. In the summer I can stick it out on the balcony, get a grill, set up the hammock, heck I'll be set.<br /><br />I was watching Miss Kitty drink from the toilet yesterday. She's so small that it's quite a procedure. She doesn't stick her front paws inside like the two boys do, so I don't have to worry about water on the rim when she leaves. It's quite a balancing act that she pulls off though.<br /><br />I went to get my port flushed the other day. It took 3 nurses. The first nurse stuck the needle in 3 times before calling for nurse #2. The second nurse tried once, wiggled it around, and called for nurse #3. The last nurse stuck the needle in, wiggled it around a ton, half pulled it out and pushed it back in several times, and finally managed to connect. The port is apparently smaller than they're use to and it moved around a lot (not a surprise, my veins roll - that's why I have the port in the first place) so they were all missing it in their stabs. Also, they're not use to it being in the arm as apparently it's usually in the chest. So to conclude, my arm is now very sensitive. They're going to dread seeing me next month.kittywhisprerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12623335903447400416noreply@blogger.com1
