So tired

MzSerena — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 04:39:30 +0000

I’m tired of everything. It’s kind of funny, someone told me what to do about my not sleeping well. Would you believe it if I said that I was told to take prenatal-vitamins?

I couldn’t fathom it either, since I’m not pregnant. But once you look at it objectively, it makes a lot of sense. If you look at what they do for you when you’re pregnant, they can do the same for one who is not.

Tho, I will talk to a doctor first.

It’s finally raining, the temperature has dropped immensely. It will only stay cool overnight. Muggy will return with a vengeance tomorrow. Oh well.

I need to go to the doctor soon. It’s time for a checkup. Need to see about some sort of supplements to see if I can be balanced again. I know I’m out of whack.

I need to make some decisions soon. Mostly doctor related. I should go back to Ortho, but it doesn’t bother me, just crunches when I bend and flex. I also have less weight tolerance than I used to.

I think it’s bedtime, frankly.

Sleep

MzSerena — Sun, 30 May 2010 23:07:19 +0000

So when I’m in pain, I like to sleep. Today was one of those days. I got up in a lot of pain in my wrist. I laid on the couch and dozed off. I woke up in pain still and highly annoyed. So I went and laid back down on the bed. A short time later, Mom comes in and wakes me, tells me to go get it checked.

I don’t like to go to the emergency room. I don’t have insurance. Long story short, I had xrays done, there appears to be nothing wrong so they think that it’s carpal tunnel or something similar. I will follow up with orthopedics about it as soon as the insurance kicks in. I don’t really want to do anything until that happens. If I do it now, it’s like doing an ab workout then going out to eat pizza and drink beer.

I need to go back to my primary as well, for follow up and such. I can wait for that. I just plainly want to go to sleep and not wake up until I have insurance and can fight to fix things.

i love spending 2+ hours in the emergency room only to find out that there is really nothing wrong with me. I cam home with a shiny new wrist splint and orders to follow up with Ortho on Tuesday since they think that it might be carpal tunnel in my left wrist. Here is my question, however. Why is it so sore and painful now and not when I was using it a lot?

I think I’d like a second opinion. Perhaps I’ll go ask they guy who sells glass mosaic tile at the local home improvement store.

Seriously though, my xrays are clean, so we’ll see what Ortho has to say about it when I get an appointment. *lesigh* Hopefully it will be something that heals quickly enough that I won’t have to worry about it for more than a few days.

My Health

MzSerena — Sat, 29 May 2010 04:40:10 +0000

So, most of my posts have been about my mother lately. So here’s one about me. I don’t really know how my health is lately. I know that my weight is screwy. Tempting to find weight loss pills to take. My meds are weird. I missed a week of them. It messed my system up.

I’m feeling… odd.. lately. My wrist is killing me. It’s all weird and crunchy when I flex my wrist. Oh well.

I’m tired all the time. In fact, I’m going to bed now.

So, Mom has not weighed under 200 in many years. The last month, she has dropped several pounds and is now under that point as of the 25th. I’m curious as to whether it stays under now that she is home. I seriously wonder if they were giving her hydroxycut or something.

I know the food there sucked, but to lose over 30lbs? I’m seriously curious whether it stays off or whether she gains any back when she goes to the doctor Wednesday. I just hope that he doesn’t try to pull some bullshit excuse about not catching the pneumonia and that it was caused by the bowel problems, not an oversight.

I can’t wait for the next 14 days to go by. Even though she’s home, we still have a lot going on with appointments, home visits, etc.

So

MzSerena — Sat, 01 May 2010 03:49:24 +0000

Mom made it through surgery well today. She was in recovery a while longer than anyone thought she would be. She was breathing on her own when I checked on her tonight. I can’t believe the last 3 days. She was just talking up a storm on Wednesday! Thursday she was sitting up in a chair!!! Seriously! Who does that? Especially an hour after a colonoscopy.

I’m exhausted. Maybe I should hire a Texas Maritime lawyer and sue myself for causing a lack of sleep. I’m only half kidding. Tomorrow, I should get to sleep in. At least I’m going to try damn hard to sleep in! I know my phone will ring at 6:30 for my overnight report, but after that I can go back to sleep because I can’t go anywhere until after Rob gets home.

I just hope he doesn’t work *too* late. I’m not quite sure how I’ll do with it being the first time being left alone and the first day of not visiting within hours of waking up. For now, though.. SLEEP!

Well

MzSerena — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 04:20:39 +0000

One thing that I know for a fact about the way my life is going – I do not need to take any sort of pill for weight loss. Who needs Lipofuze when you have stress? I spend most of the day at the hospital, most of the night stressing.

Things are starting to calm down into a routine. I don’t like this routine in the slightest. I want a routine where I come out and poke at Mom and watch tv with her while my husband works. I want my routine where I can sleep til whenever, not where I have to wake up at nearly 7am for an overnight report.

I hope that mom kicks the pneumonia quickly so she can be stable for surgery. After that, things have to improve, right?

Status Quo

MzSerena — Mon, 26 Apr 2010 21:30:35 +0000

Sometimes status quo is a good thing, sometimes it’s not. Right now, I’ll take it as a good thing, especially in regards to my mother’s health. She’s fighting pneumonia, doing well at it. I’m happy with that.

Life has a funny way of changing your plans. I was supposed to go shopping with my husband for some men’s clothing and that isn’t happening now.

I did end up bowling Friday night. Well, I watched and everyone else bowled. Every time the phone rings at home, I jump. My sister freaked me out last night by calling at 9pm.

Now, my status quo is up with the tele-family call, chill for a while, do stuff that needs done, then to the hospital for the day. Probably will be for a while.

So Tired

MzSerena — Fri, 26 Mar 2010 06:19:37 +0000

I’m so tired right now it’s not even funny. I’m tired enough that I was looking at pet beds for a friend who just got a dog and thought about how nice it would be to curl up in one and go to sleep myself.

If I’m that tired, why am I still sitting at my desk blogging? I’m insane. I’m tired, but falling asleep isn’t going to happen for at least another hour. My body’s internal clock is completely screwed up. I sat on the couch watching the Syracuse basketball game and fell asleep. Sitting up. While working on my laptop.

Yeah. That’s completely random. It’s kind of crazy how easily I can fall asleep during the day. Yet at night, I lay in bed and don’t sleep.

Skin

MzSerena — Sat, 20 Mar 2010 20:02:29 +0000

One thing I hate about the problems I have is that I have eczema. It drives me absolutely insane, especially since it’s dark color and it looks like I’m dirty, even when I just get out of a shower. Of course, there is no eczema natural treatment that will help me because it’s not eczema. Of course there isn’t much that can be done.

Life would be easier if I could be like other people my age. I’m cursed with bad genes. I can’t complain much, since I was blessed enough to look like I’m still in my 20”s when I’m 34. I was lucky enough to be blessed that way, but other parts of my genetics suck.

The Best

MzSerena — Sat, 20 Mar 2010 17:19:09 +0000

Once again, I’ve been hearing about my weight. How I need to lose more. I know I do. I don’t need others to tell me that. I also don’t want yo to tell me what you think the best method is. You don’t know me or my body. You don’t know my physical limitations. You don’t know anything about me, really. You don’t even know that I’ve been dealing with doctors to help me, but they fail to figure out how to help me.

At least my doctor didn’t try to sell me on the best weight loss supplement like my husband’s former doctor did. Sadly, my doctor doesn’t even care. She won’t talk to me about my physical problems until I lose more weight. Maybe my physical problems are the reason that I can’t lose the weight. I’ll never know because she won’t bother listening to what I say.

Time for a new doctor? I think so.

Meow

MzSerena — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 19:21:22 +0000

So, my entire life, I’ve had thick, lush (straight) hair. The problem with this? I shed like a freaking cat. Seriously. Brushing my hair requires the brush to be cleaned out at least twice. Washing it fills the drain at least twice. It’s crazy. The only thing is, as I get older my hair isn’t coming back in as thick. I don’t mind, since it’s not as heavy. I worry, though, that I’m going to have to find the best hair loss treatments in a few years because I’m losing so much.

My mother has lost a lot of hair on one side of her head and I don’t want to end up that way. I love my hair, I’ve taken care of it, I’ve only ever had dye in it once. I’ve not used a ton of product. I used to use a lot of product when I was young. But overall, I took good care of it. I don’t want to lose my hair.

Hopefully, the hair loss will slow down soon.

Quack Quack

MzSerena — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 00:29:05 +0000

Sometimes I wonder if there’s a point to doctors other than have them act like quacks. Monday, Mom told her new doctor off, so she went elsewhere today and thankfully, liked the doctor I got for her. Sadly, my doctor isn’t even a doctor, she’s a Nurse Practitioner. She’s completely useless and I’m tired of her antics. She told a friend of mine, who is also her patient, that her panic disorder is all in her head. No, it’s not. She’s told me that I’m too fat (which I am, I know this) and she won’t even consider looking at my back to see what’s wrong with it until I’m under 250.

She wouldn’t even give me a script for a sleeping aid when I asked for one last year. She gave me an anti-histamine instead. What the hell? I have allergies, but what is an anti-histamine going to do for my sleep problems? She wouldn’t even talk to me when I was in last. Told me to come back in June or July for bloodwork. Nothing else matters to her. Oh well. Guess I’ll find someone new for myself.

Fixated

MzSerena — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 07:07:15 +0000

I’m fixated on the doctor’s appointment and the lack of interest in me she has actually taken. I’m still fed up, angry and frustrated. The worse part, I got my bill today. Last time I went was around $83. This time was over $111!

She didn’t do shit! She didn’t even try to tell me what the best weight loss pills would be! She’s USELESS! And yet, she wants me to pay $111. To hell with that.

I’m going to protest that bill and then, I’m done. Period.

Pregnant Besties

MzSerena — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 00:22:19 +0000

So, my bestie is pregnant. I said that elsewhere, it seems familiar. She’s having her second child and this time we’re actually speaking to each other. So, I get to hear all about pregnancy vitamins and eating for two and the size of the baby compared to different fruit.

Now, I’m 34 years old and frankly, don’t much care. I’ve never had a child, don’t plan on having one either. I know that sounds odd, but I don’t have the patience for raising a child. I don’t know why. I love children and always wanted my own, but over the years, that changed. I’m glad I didn’t start when I was 18 like most people.

Meh, I’m in a weird headspace.

Pillows

MzSerena — Sun, 14 Feb 2010 18:56:35 +0000

Everyone knows that you’re going to pick up germs from everything in the world. One thing that a lot of people think about is what you’re putting your head on at night when you go to bed. I never really gave it a whole lot of thought either, but I did when I started developing allergies out of the blue. What got me to thinking about it is having had the opportunity to sleep on a bed with healthy dreams germ fighter pillows on it. I woke up able to breath well, not congested at all and I knew the environment was the same as home, just the bedding was different.

I asked why they chose this kind of a pillow and was really surprised to hear about how bad your bedding choices can be for you. I never gave much thought to the dust mites and germs that your pillows can hold, especially the older the pillows are. When you think about it, a pillow starts breaking down the first time you use it and when you breath, you’re breathing out whatever germs are in your system. You don’t change your pillows when you’re sick, right? You change the bedding and wash it, but what about the actual pillow or mattress?

I know that, personally, my allergies are absolutely horrible. I got new pillows for Christmas and I was better for a few days, then they kicked in even harder. I suffer daily. I don’t like it, but it’s what I have to do because I haven’t had the ability to change them all out at once. I need to do that soon, then hopefully I’ll be able to sleep better at night and wake up better in the morning.

If you don’t believe me about your pillows making you sick, check out the video below and you’ll be a believer too. I know it opened my eyes even more.

I went to the doctor on Tuesday. I’m not all that impressed with her, or her office in general any more. She spent less than 5 minutes with me. Just long enough to complain about my weight. Yeah, it creeped up a couple pounds in 6 months. So what? Isn’t it your place to figure out why? The only other thing she had to say is that I need blood drawn in July. Wtf? A year?

At least she’s not like Rob’s former doctor, trying to push diet pills. I’ve done the research on side effects of diet pills and I know what isn’t safe. I would take them if they were safe. I would take any option that people think would work, if it was safe. But it’s not safe. Not in *my* eyes, at least.

Ow. My neck, my back, my wrists, my ankles. All sound like rice krispies every day when I wake up. I hate it, especially since it’s highly likely that I can develop rheumatoid arthritis. Heck, I could already have it, or worse. My mother has fibroblasts, so it’s definitely that is on my mind a lot.

My shoulder hurts like mad this morning. I dunno why. I haven’t done anything for it to be sore. It just is. I wish I could get Connie to listen to me and stop telling me to lose weight. I know I need to lose weight, but guess what? I’ve not had all these problems all my life. Sure I’ve been overweight all my life, but I used to be able to walk all over town, go to the mall and walk for hours, walk the campus at Corning. Now? If I manage to get all the grocery shopping done without crying, I’m lucky.

One day, I’ll have health insurance and a doctor that cares… I hope.

So, since I’m looking into the option of finding a new doctor, I’ve been looking into other things, ways to help myself too. I want to be a healthier, happier me in 2010.

I’ve come to the conclusion that I need to consider a mood stabilizer. I need to lose more weight, but I also need to have something done about my back. Telling me to lose more weight won’t cut it. I know I need to, but that’s NOT why my back and legs go numb.

I’ve been thinking about reading some sybervision reviews to see what is out there. I still don’t think pills are the way to go. I don’t want more things to take. I want to be a pill free, healthy me. I know that will never happen and it sucks.

Meh, I think I’ll go to bed. I’m grumpy.

Weight Weight Weight

MzSerena — Sun, 17 Jan 2010 16:48:01 +0000

Sometimes, I feel like the only thing I talk about, health-wise, is my weight. I probably do, since it’s a big part of my life. One thing that was a big part of why my husband changed doctors was the fact that his doctor wanted to put him on diet pills.

I like natural weight loss. There are too many horror stories about diet pill side effects that make me really hesitant about anyone I love taking them. I don’t want him on something that could turn out to cause other problems. I also won’t take them myself for the same reason.

I’m sure that they would help me, but I still don’t want them. I’ll lose my weight a bit at a time, the way it’s meant to be, until the time comes when I no longer see these horror stories.

Decisions To Make..

..and miles to go before we sleep..

I need to figure out what to do about my doctor. I need to decide whether to continue on with Candor Family Care or move on with someone else. Frankly, I’m afraid that if I go to a new doctor, I have to start all over on the whole weight issue. If I wanted someone’s opinion, I’d go to www.loseweightfast.net and read that stuff. I know I’m overweight. I’m working on it. I have other problems too, deal with those.

I need to figure out what we’re doing about a home situation as well. One that I’m not really ready to put out in public. Sorry.

I need to figure out a lot of little things, and work on a few projects. I have a few new irons in the fire and I’m excited about them, but they’re going to be a lot of work.

I feel like curling up and vegetating for a day, but that’s not an option today.

Spinach and Mushroom, please?

MzSerena — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 03:53:06 +0000

Okay, I have a newfound love for Schwan’s Fire Baked Spinach and Mushroom Pizza. I have to admit that I’ve never had portabella mushrooms on anything and these were REALLY good. Typically, I don’t like frozen pizza, but I’ve been buying the different Schwan’s pizza’s lately. The best part? Frozen pizza’s are really not all that filling, at least not the ones I have gotten before. Typically for the 3 of us, we have to make 2 pizza’s. This time, we only needed just the one. I’m shocked that this was filling.

I’m trying hard to eat a little healthier. I need to try harder. I don’t want to take anything to lose weight. Even though green tea diet pills seem like a decent method. I don’t know though. I still have issues with the idea of taking a diet pill.

I feel absolutely horrible, I spent far too long outside in the cold Friday night. It was well worth it, though, to see the Sayre Holiday Parade. However, spending over 2 hours outside, on cold concrete has nearly killed me.

I want to go out and buy some awesome Eagle Creek luggage and go on a trip to somewhere warm. I’d love to go visit our niece in Las Vegas. We haven’t seen them since they moved back. I want to save up some money and go soon. But, it’s freaking expensive.

It’s not been that cold, but my back.. man… I definitely need to make a decision soon about the future. *lesigh*

Keeping Fit While Pregnant: Walking And Swimming Through The Trimesters

MzSerena — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 17:23:52 +0000

Exercising while you’re expecting is important for a number of reasons. You’ll sleep better, avoid fatigue, and enjoy an easier pregnancy. There are many types of activities you can do to stay in shape as a mother-to-be. Among them, walking and swimming are ideal. Both are cardiovascular, which means they will improve your body’s use of oxygen; that’s good for both you and your little one. Plus, both are low-impact. You’ll enjoy developing muscle tone and keeping excess weight off while avoiding putting undue stress on your joints. Below, we’ll provide some tips that you can use to walk and swim to stay fit throughout your pregnancy.

The First Three Months

If you don’t normally exercise, start slowly. It’s less exerting to swim, so you can safely do so for a half hour each day. A lot of moms-to-be enjoy doing it in the morning because the weightless sensation of being in the water helps to curb nausea. Plus, working out in the morning gives you an energetic boost to get through the rest of the day.

When you walk during your first trimester, you’ll need to take more care, especially if you’re doing so in the sun. Use sunscreen, wear a hat, and have plenty of drinking water available. wear loose fitting maternity clothes or extra comfort. If your body suffers dehydration, it can trigger contractions. If you rarely exercised before getting pregnant, start with a 20-minute lazy stroll. Then, increase your speed as your body grows accustomed to the activity.

The Second Three Months

When month four arrives, you won’t need to make any modification to your workout in the pool (besides wearing a larger Maternity Swimsuit). Swimming is uniquely easy on your body. So, unless your normal swim from the first trimester is causing exhaustion, keep it up. Walking during your second trimester can be dangerous if you’re not careful. At this point, your balance and equilibrium will shift slightly. To counteract this change, walk with your back straight, tuck your hips to prevent unnecessary swaying, and swing your arms as balancing weights. Pay attention to where you’re walking. You may have been able to recover gracefully from a stumble before getting pregnant, but your lack of balance now can be dangerous.

The Final Three Months

Not only is swimming easy on your joints, but as you round the corner on your third trimester, it can also control your body heat. Breaststroke is particularly valuable because it lengthens the muscles in your chest. To alleviate the pressure from bobbing or turning to breathe, consider using a snorkel.

Because walking increases your body heat, you’ll need to be extra careful during the third trimester. Consider taking walks in an air-conditioned gym or nearby mall. Also, speak with your obstetrician to make sure your workout doesn’t pose a danger to your baby during the final lap of your pregnancy. Exercise should be considered a vital part of your daily routine from the beginning of your pregnancy through childbirth. Add swimming and walking to your workout to stay fit and energized.
