Favorite Number

Inquiring minds wanted to know my favorite number... here you go:

1-0-0-2-2-0-6-1-3-1-2-6-9-0-5-0-1-2-3-9-2-0

No. It is not a random number. If you called me and asked me to repeat it to you, I could.

:o)

Ho-Hum

I feel sad today and I am not fully sure why. I went to Port Huron to see how my aunt was doing, and she is doing fine now. That is a happy thing though....

I think I know what is bothering me. It is something that has bothered me for Months/YEARS... but I don't know how to fix it. I'm not just going to do something because it's something to do. I don't want people to look at me better because I did it. I am the same person today I would be if I did it... but I just feel people looking down on me for not doing it. :o(

I'm sad.

I forgot!!

I have had a few emails about the outcome of my surgery that I didn't post about in my long blog.


I had surgery on December 17th to remove a tumor from my shoulder and a tumor from my wrist. The one in my wrist was 3.5" long... the one in my shoulder was 3.5cm deep. It was a rough night, from what you can see in the picture below.



This was taken as soon as I got home... I think the kitties missed me. :o)

I was doped up on a lot of medication, but I felt ok for a while. Then the anesthesia wore off. The doctors office called the next morning to tell me they ordered a rush biopsy and that I should find out in a couple of days.

When the results came in, they called and told me the tumor in my shoulder was malignant. The one in my wrist was not. I was ok with it at first because they told me they got it all. THEN, I call Brian at work and tell him the results, who kind of freaks out because cancer is cancer, right? It was a long night of tears and fear, but prayer helped. The doctor called the next day (the day after I got the first results) and was told the results I was given the previous day were wrong, and that I did NOT have cancer. It was a really weird time for me, but I was happy knowing that I was cancerfree.




















Now I am still attempting to recooperate. I do not have full use of my wrist and lost a lot of the feeling on top of my hand. I don't know if I will ever get it back, but either way, I am happy I had the surgery.


Ok... It's time for sleep! Good night everyone!

ANNOYED!!!

I am so stinking annoyed at my cousin that I could seriously vomit right now...

Why can't people grow up? Why can't a 30 year old woman with 3 children have a job to take care of them? Why?

Ugh! So annoyed!!!!!

Tired

I'm tired. This past week has drained me beyond belief. I just want to sleep all day long.

I'm going to Port Huron again this weekend to check on my Aunt. I guess she was saying that after the surgery and she is coherant enough, she isn't going to talk any medications. Maybe that was the fear talking... I dont' know. It's just frustrating.

I have to work today... 11-4:30, then it's off to school until 9pm. Yuck. My teacher is great though...

I have to present tomorrow at work. Not looking forward to that. I'm too tired to do anything right now!

Catch Up!!

I went to go post on my old blog, and it will not allow me to log in. It says that it has been deleted... which is a funny thing, because I did not delete it.


I thought I would do a catch up entry... since so much is going on!


My aunt Judy had open heart surgery today. She is in the ICU at Port Huron Hospital. She had 5 bad arteries (clogged), and they couldn't do anything about 2 of them. She ended up having a triple bypass surgery. Her daughter Julie, has 3 children and does not have a job. Julie is currently living with her mom and sleeps until the afternoon. Aunt Judy, after working a midnight shift, would have to come home and be with the children because Julie wouldn't get up with her kids. That is sad. It makes me want to vomit. She is the type of person that shouldn't have children.


My surgery is long and over. It has been a month and 2 days since my surgery and I still have a lot of pain. My hand/wrist won't even bend. I have a numb spot on my hand and it swells up quite a bit. I hurts a lot... but I think it is getting stronger. I still am unable to open up bottles that have twist caps on them. It sends an electrical shock through my hand and arm. My scar looks good though! See? The one on my shoulder is good... only gets aggitated when I use it a lot.




School has started up. Brian and I will both be done this fall... which means another chapter of our lives will be over. We will both be going on to get our Bachelor's degrees. Brian wants to get his in intelligence or counter terrorism. I am not sure what I will get mine in. I am thinking psychology because it is always good to have a psychology degree in the field I want to go into. I want to do loss prevention/avoidance things at National City. I love being a teller there, and have caught a lot of fraud already. I would like to be able to do post robbery type investigations, which requires me to go into the minds of criminals. In my seminar class, I have done almost all of the homework for the semester... got 3 more reports to write, then I will be done!
Life is going really well for us. It seems as though this year is a time of transition for us and for a lot of our friends and family. It's scary to think about all of the changes that are coming about, but they are all for the good and I am excited to see what God is going to do through them!
We have been attending Keystone Community Church in Saline every Sunday. It has become our home church. It's an amazing place to be and there are so many new relationships being built. Brian and I have been going to a small group and have met some couples our age that are on fire for God and want serve Him.
I guess that is all for now... I'm sure I will be on here again soon! :o) Or at least, if I don't get on here, I'm sure Jenn will remind me!! (Thanks for that because I did totally forget!)
