Back to something completely boring...

Health report:
1. Degenerative disc diseasein the Cervical Spine

2. Bulging L4-5 (Lumbar) Disc which sucks big time but now I know why I keep feeling as though I am having Crohns twinges. The disc is in the exact area of my body where the pains in my lower abdomen are. Believe it or not, I am just glad that it is not the Crohns.

3. Pseudo Tumor Cerebri still not in remission and my vision sucks. My neuropthalmologist recommended another Spinal tap in 3 weeks. @($&*#) is all I can say.

4. REALLY good drugs for pain. Which is most likely why I haven't updated much. Being stoned can do that.

5. Weather is way too cold for me to walk Jazzy so all I have to worry about is cleaning up his poopy papers.

6. Jazz had a big boo boo on his tail, chewed down to the bone, but is on the mend. Scared his momma way too much though.

7. Started, FINALLY, PT for my walking and balance. I am really tired of tripping over my feet. Just also Friday got a script for PT for my left arm. I figure if I can get my muscles going again I can at least get in the pool and tread water for some exercise. I am only allowed the recumbent bike right now.

9. Did I mention those really GOOD pain meds?

OOh, OOh, I also got my nails done. I have never had fake nails before but my nails are in such poor condition (soft and weak ) that I decided to take a shot. I really like how they look.



It took me 44 years to act like a girly girl. My red pumps, new hair cut, new nails. I have to be careful not to become an artifical blonde. I will lose my brain.(only joking. hehehe)

I am still struggling with keeping my mouth shut and driving my mom nuts by keeping her up late at night talking so I do not go raid the fridge. I got refilled but not to where I was before I was throwing up. I still have a bit of hunger and my head really has issues dealing with it all.

I started being more vigilent about logging my foods on CK and let me tell you I shocked myself when I was totally honest. I had a 3000 calorie day. 2400 of those calories were chocolate chip cookies. Warm, large, and gooey.
I am on different meds now and they are helping reign in my addiction to carbs. Did I mention they are really good? No more mental breakdowns from them. I feel human and fun again.

And that is life here at the freezing cold beach. Sunsets are georgeous but when you see ice on sand you know it is time to stay indoors.

Groundhog said early spring. I can't wait.
