January 2009

Not really off to an auspicious start this year. I spent New Year's Day in the ER with chest pains.

Going to the ER is sort of like taking your car to the mechanic. It works fine the moment you get it in the repair shop and starts clunking the moment your get it home.

Same issue with ER's. I had an EKG, all sorts of blood work - no heart attack or blood clots.

The doctor said he 'could' keep me over night and they could do a stress test in the morning. He didn't say I 'should'. So I opted for home. I should have opted to stay. Bed rest sucks, the test would have been done. Unfortunately, the b/f didn't speak up and say anything and has gone from overbearing coddling to the far away you've got cooties attitude....or so it seems.

On top of all of that........no alcohol, caffine or nicotine. Which would have been fine because I had really had myself set up to quit smoking this weekend. It didn't quite happen but I'm close. I've reset my date for January 11.

No Witty Title Here

I'm not even sure I have anything witty to say. We had a really lovely morning, nice and quiet and relaxing. We had to take Hayley to get science project supplies and then stopped for lunch at Johnny Carino's. Hayley begged and pleaded for us to take her to the movies. We ended up seeing Marley and Me. It was a fabulously lighthearted, feel good movie....up until the last 20 minutes or so. It was just a bit too emotional for me, at least. Five tissues, at least. I'm still heart palpitating on a daily basis, although not as much as I did the first week. I'll have to get back to you on other stuff, because, quite frankly, I just can't think of anything to write.

Thoughts

For some reason I've been thinking about people from my past lately. I'm sure it's a rather melancholy thing we are all want to do from time to time. I was doing a bit of 'stalking' on my space, just to see what a former friends former boyfriend was up to. Jodi sort of went off the deep end in about 2003, left her husband of nearly 20 years, hooked up with an old high school flame. The got together, broke up, got together, broke up, etc, until she finally turned up pregnant at the age of about 40 ish something. OUCH. Well, she stopped speaking to me and I guess I wonder what she's up to. I wonder a lot about Simon, too. The way he just 'disappeared' still bothers me. But, in being realistic, had he not just vanished, I wouldn't be where I am today. So, I guess I should thank him, not just for leaving, but for the years we spent together. I know that it was all just a journey, incredible at times, but a journey to lead me to where I am now.

6 Months of Doctor's

Ok, so sounds like Hayley now has either bronchitis or pnuemonia.............along with her Mono. Dad is taking her to the doctor this afternoon so we should know something by dinner time. So, after the gall bladder/appendix in September, the portal vein thrombosis in October, the shots, the doctor visits, back to the hospital in December, thought we were getting better in January, got the Mono in February, and now maybe Bronchitis in March.........holy smokes. Wonder if she's even going to make it through 8th grade? Wonder.
