My doctor's visit

My doctor's visit was interesting. We had the awkward part because you know how it is. But after that we had an interesting conversation about my weight gain and my stomach problems. I have started taking vitamins that are the same chemicals that your body produces and it has decreased my stomach pain substantially. We also talked about the fact that I am trying to lose weight but cant seem to get past my plateau. So she is sending me to a dietitian. Which I am really looking forward to because I think it will help a lot. Plus I am getting an ultra sound done on my Thyroid tomorrow because we know that I have cysts on it but I haven't had them checked in about 4 to 5 years. So we need to see if they have grown or shrank or if they are collecting thyroid fluid which is why I would not be able to loose weight. I think that's about it. My doctor was really nice and she kept saying "well people your age don't normally deal with that, but your body has proven not to be normal, I mean gall stones by the age of 22 with previous history of irritation around that area is something we would see in a 50 year old." It reminds me of the move Jack with Robin Williams. I kind of wonder if that is what my body is doing in a way.

My boss needs to come back!

I don't know if I mentioned this but both of my bosses (they are a married couple) are on vacation this week and next week. So not only am I doing my job but I am trying to take over as much responsibility from them as possible so that they can actually relax while on vacation. Let me tell you Monday SUCKED! I had to do payroll which takes a good 2 1/2 hours of my day plus dealing with everything that comes in that normally goes to them. Now I know that I should be a pro at my job because I started here in march...yeah not really. I ONLY started in March and when you handle everything that does not seem like enough time to learn an entire business that you have never been involved in before. I am calling our repair guy about every hour to see what he thinks for the stuff I dont know. He has now started making fun of me for it. So more than Cory needs to come back (although I am so looking forward to when he does so I can make him give me a back massage) I want Traci and Fred to come back more! Plus they are good people and I really like them. It isn't a job I hate going to or anything and I think a main part of that is the fact that they are the best people to work for.

Let me tell you how awesome they actually are. I was invited to go to Lake Powell with Cory and Traci would have worked with me to let me go if they weren't going to be gone the same week. Plus I am going on a cruise to Mexico with my family for Christmas and she is going to work with me to do that. They understand family values and try to give me as much freedom as possible because they know I am responsible with it. Not only are they extremely nice with vacation time but I told them I could not change jobs with out insurance so they are paying my cobra payment until I can get on their insurance. Which should be september but Traci just told me that they can continue paying it until March when it would be the next opportunity to get on their insurance so that I can keep my doctor. They try to take a Christian perspective to how they handle their business which is awesome, they are also not the "holier than thou" Christians which is AWESOME! Anyway I hope they have a good vacation but I can't wait until they are back.

I am NOT looking forward to tomorrow

Tomorrow I have the fun doctor's visit tomorrow that they make you go to by threatening to take away the prescriptions that take away my migranes. Hopefully I can get a better medication! Anyway its that fun physical! Plus tomorrow I get to go over what the stupid GI doctor said so we can see how this goes. Wish me luck!

Update on the stomach issues (this might get gross)

So I went to the HORRIBLE GI doctor and my opinion of this doctor has only gotten worse. I had called several days in advance to get my file out of archives and they told me they had found it only to NOT give it to the doctor. So I was glad when I brought all of the paper work from the tests she ran 2 years ago. She looked at it said that my tests 2 years ago looked normal and asked me about my pain. I described it to her and compared the intensity to that of when I had gall stones only to have her stop me and to say "well it cant be because its on the left side too" (I had already told her I had my gall bladder taken out a year ago). Then she asks me what I have done to help with the pain. I told her that I was taking a stool softener which had been recommended her my regular doctor. She feels my stomach doesn't say a whole lot and then leaves the room. She comes back saying that she want to get a test done (which I got done a year ago) and then says she is going to give me a prescription. She gave me a prescription of the SAME medication I am already on. Not only that but for the same dosage! This made me so mad because she definitely wasn't listening to me and she was acting like I was made it up! I'm sorry but if someone is experiencing pain for years at a time don't you think that there might be some truth to it? Plus when I had surgery the surgeon found that there was a build up of tissue (which looks like tendons) that he said was caused from YEARS of irritation. Needless to say I am less than happy with my results and I am trying my own methods of trying to treat it. Such as taking digestive enzymes to help with how my body breaks down the food. So far a vast improvement. Funny how I can find something better for me than a STUPID specialist.

Don't get the wrong idea

I know my last post made it seem like my life might revolve around Cory but I would like to clear that up. Its not like im laying in my bed just wishing for Cory to come back. I do miss him but the last blog was more about how I feel disappointed with the fact that only 1 (count them ONE!) of my married friends would call me back. And she even has a kid. It just bums me out that people that I have invested time and energy in to trying to keep a relationship can't even call me back. I even called a friend on her birthday and called multiple times last week and not once did she pick up the phone or call me back. But thank you to my few friends that I have had a chance to hang out with. It was fun! By the way I did have fun line dancing and if you ever want to go just ask I will go!

I'm lonely

Cory left today for Lake Powell for 10 days. While I am happy that he is getting the vacation he needs, I am completely bummed because as my friends have gotten married they apparently don't think that it is important to keep friendships alive. I was talking to one of my single friends and she agrees with me, that there must be some secret that people are told when they get married to not keep any of their friends. It like I have lost all of my friends and it is very lonely when the person that you spend almost everyday with is gone, He is my best friend. I want to go line dancing and I can't get anyone to say that they will come with me. Its fun and I haven't had fun like that in a long time. So if you want to go let me know.

Will you move out already!

So for those of you who don't know. I normally have two roommates. My good roommate moved out so she could be closer to her job, and I miss her dearly. My other roommate makes me mad and frustrated majority of the time that she is home. Normally we ignore each other, literally. We don't talk, we don't interact. Nothing. I don't understand why she lives there. She doesn't pay her own rent...then again she doesn't ever pay her rent on time. My landlord who is a nice guy got sick of this habit of not really paying rent, and called her mom to give her 30-day notice. Her mom began to explain to him that the rent isn't due until the 16th of the month (or actually the 1st). Well pretty much what happened is she threatened to take him to court if he gave her a 30-day notice.

This is frustrating because she disappears for weeks at a time (I'm not complaining about that), she is completely inconsiderate to myself and our landlord. She will cook and then leave for a week. And she cant even hold down a job. Her parents are wasting their money and no one wants her to live there anymore but she wont move! I am getting to the point that I might move because this is rediculous. I like my house, I've lived there for a year now and I liked the idea of not having to move every 9 months to a year but I cant handle her anymore. Any suggestions.
