What is that green stuff?

Sun T. — Sat, 20 Dec 2008 20:38:30 +0000

I was blessed to get a bottle of Green Tea diet supplements, but I am scared to death to try them. Why? It’s not like I don’t drink green tea all the time. I am just wondering what the concentrate in a glass of juice is going to taste like/do to me. I mean, if I put it in a cup of tea, won’t that defeat the purpose? Wouldn’t it become like white noise to the green tea itself? I wonder if anyone else has used it and found a large difference between the tea and the supplement.

News worth looking at: cure for AIDS

Sun T. — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 18:19:27 +0000

In light of all the why in the world would I care news like “Sarah Palin separates her clothes from the RNC’s clothes” and “Palin thought the election would be closer”, it’s good to see something like this:

A possible cure for AIDS

I think it’s about time someone did something about the AIDS epidemic other than medicate patients to the hilt. There was once talk the combination of epilepsy drugs and AIDS drugs would cure a person. Now they have actual proof that a bone marrow transplant can cure AIDS. I hope they don’t let this die a quick death like they did with the epilepsy drug theory.

Shopping for health care

Sun T. — Sat, 01 Nov 2008 18:02:59 +0000

I have been shopping around for an alternative to the health insurance provided by my husband’s job. I was reading about some sort of health care sharing program that is only like $173 a month for a 3 person family. It’s not insurance, so it really makes me wonder what it really is all about. I have also been asking friends what they pay. I have to ask my buddy Marcus how much he pays for North Carolina health insurance, and see if it’s comparable. It is always good to get a bead on what everyone else is having to pay out of pocket for this sort of thing.

Mother in law back in the hospital

Sun T. — Sun, 12 Oct 2008 20:49:21 +0000

Got a call late last night that my mother in law is in the hospital with a blood clot or re-ruptured spleen…in PUERTO RICO >_< ... We need your prayers, especially since none of us can just drop our lives and fly to PR any time soon. She and my father in law were due back in USA proper this Thursday coming. Now, I don't know what is going to happen.

UPDATE (5:25pm) they found water in her lungs and a mass behind her ribs. they may have to operate. there is no more bleeding or clots, but they found those things and a severe bladder infection.

Grandmom surgery postponed till Wednesday

Sun T. — Sat, 11 Oct 2008 14:37:33 +0000

Okay, they sent her home with no real reason why. They were like “well we dont do the surgery on the weekends, no point in you taking up a bed” .. but then they say WAIT TILL WEDNESDAY? How long are their weekends? I could swear that it was only Saturday and Sunday. If they had just done the surgery when they were supposed to, this wouldn’t be happening. I have to trust that God has a plan in all this waiting, that there is some higher reason we don’t know about as to why they keep putting off this “urgent” surgery. I know one thing, Grandmom will need to look into Vegas vacations after all this is over, so she can go take a powder for a while. I feel bad for her more for the ups and downs of waiting right now than anything. My in-laws return on Thursday of next week, so they are really hoping that the surgery is no longer postponed. It’s the whole reason they took this emergency trip over to Puerto Rico in the first place!

Update on Grandmom

They postponed the operation to tomorrow. *sigh* Please continue to pray for her … she is at peace and knows that God is with her in this time of struggle. We all appreciate your continued spiritual support.

Tired, sneezy, grumpy, and doc

I think I have a few of the seven dwarves lurking around my house …or at least inside my head. These allergies are kicking my butt! It’s cold in my house, too. I don’t know that this is helping me. *sigh* I just love the change of the seasons. I am too cold to eat so I certainly won’t need any weight loss pills! All I have been doing is drinking tea, coffee, and cocoa like there is no tomorrow. I am thinking about getting my cold self up and fixing myself a cup of green tea right now.

My brain is on auto pilot

Sun T. — Sun, 07 Sep 2008 01:55:55 +0000

I am sitting here, wishing for words to type. I feel like I am on the verge of going bonkers. I am looking around my house and I can’t do much about the converging mess that is creeping over the floors like growing vines. I want to scrub things, but I can’t without feeling as though I am busting a lung. Thank God this can’t last forever. My futures trading up or down: either I get well or I don’t. I feel promise, but it’s so hard to feel that promise the whole day. The night sets in, the pains increase, the chills hover around my fingers trying to cling to my skin. I can feel them…trying to take hold, but the fever is gone. Why does it continue to try and plague me? My brain is higher than my head, floating on the essence of my existence.

Finally beginning to feel better

Sun T. — Sat, 06 Sep 2008 19:44:30 +0000

Progress day by day. I’m on year old amoxycillin that just went out of code that I had up on my fridge, but whatever. It’s doing it’s job. I can tell. I can sit up straighter. Today, I was able to stand up longer and actually take a whole shower *half sitting, half standing*. I could eat more today. My eyes are clearer. My head hurts less. My back is no longer screaming at me. I still cannot breathe deeply or laugh or cough without pain. I still get dizzy if I stand or walk too long, but I am making progress. I thank God *and my mother who saved the meds that my sister never took*. If it weren’t for them, I would probably be in the hospital right now. Just a few more days, one step at a time…I should be alright in another week.

Still feeling whatever it is

Sun T. — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 15:25:20 +0000

As light headed as I have been, you would think I haven’t been eating anything but diet pills for the last few days. This morning I woke up with echoes of pain on both sides of my lower ribs, nausea, and the echo of a migraine. Holy crap! What’s wrong with me? I looked up a few things online, hoping I could find something close to what it is that is going on with me. My legs are weak, my knees keep giving out *which is a problem I deal with anyway, but not like this*. My legs keep going to sleep when I am sitting at the computer *and not even for that long*. I took some ibuprofen, drank a cup of green tea with honey, and prayed. I am feeling a lot better now but I am still weak. I still feel like I may pass out. I want to go to the doctor, but right now it’s kind of out of the question. I mean, you have X amount of dollars till next Thursday for EVERYTHING that you need in your home…you can’t just up and snatch 50 out of it to go to the doctor and get meds. If it is something they can’t diagnose there, they send you to the hospital, then that’s more money that I don’t have. Rock and a hard place, much? Universal health care is sounding mighty good right about now…
