Hello Everyone! I am sorry I haven't been around much but certain situations have arose and feelings are raging inside of me that I am not sure what to do with. First of all my son who is twelve and in seventh grade has been causing a lot of stress and trouble at school. School just started on Tues. Aug. 25th and within a month's time he has managed to get suspended three times. The first time was in school suspension for calling his teacher a whore and a bitch plus giving the finger in class along with cursing. The second time was out of school suspension for three days for fighting with a boy in his class. Then this last time (within a day and a half after returning from the last out of school suspension) he was out of school suspended again but this time for five days for cursing, giving the finger, and banging on things. It seems like he is out of control no matter what my boyfriend and Ido. Nothing seems to be working even grounding him with no computer, no PS2, no going outside except to do his chores, not being aloowed to stay home while we run short errands, etc. I am such at a loss on what to do but something has to change and soon.
Secondly, I so need a good, long, and hard spanking to get me out of the funk that I am in but one problem.....I CAN'T be spanked like I need and crave since of the blood thinners I am on due to blood clots in my lungs. Even though I am getting better and being able to stand up and do more things like I use to before I got sick in June I still can't be spanked. This medical condition is ruining my spanking lifestyle! My disciplinarian has long since left since he won't spank me while I am on blood thinners. I guess to be totally fair the last email I sent him told him we might as well go our separate ways since I have felt like the rules are useless if I can't be spanked for breaking them and I didn't think it was fair to him to waste his time with me. I guess it worked since I have NEVER heard from him since then even though he told me in the beginning he was hard to get rid of. Guess not! Since I have been on these blood thinners I have NO pain tolerance whatsoever. Just a light smack to my covered bottom hurts with just a hand. Just sitting on any type of chair bruises the backs of my legs no matter how long I sit down for. I just feel like my spanking lifestyle is ruined and there isn't a damn thing I can do about it!
Thirdly, things have been strained between my boyfriend and I for several reasons. One I really won't get into since it has to do with a sexual nature. Simply put we have NOT had sex since I have been down here and I have been down here for almost ten months. He has some issues that involve what he went through when his legal wife was around. The situation with my son is the major thing that has been strained between us since he doesn't know what else to do either. My son is in counseling but not sure if it is helping or not. We had him taken off some medication the last several months and there hasn't been a change in his behavior.
On a happier note my boyfriend and I recently adopted three little white kittens from the Animal Shelter from Moore County. I have been wanting a pure white baby kitten for as long as I can remember. It was suggested to me about calling the Humane Society which I have donated money to in the past. They told me about Petfinder.com and type in what I was looking for. I found THREE little white kittens. At first I thought it was the same kitten until I started reading the information. I have two females named Ivory and Spirit and the male is Casper. We have had them for about a week and a half. When they are four months old we will have them spayed/neutered plus they have their first year's shots, plus get some sort of locator so if they get lost they can scan and find out they do have a home and owners. They are rambunctious and very playful. I finally have my kitties! The older cats don't really like them but of course they stay outside mostly but they will have to get use to them and get along with them.

Buddy Walk
Hello everyone. I am posting this link as a favor to my Dad's girlfriend and her family even though they don't know I have this blog. LOL! One of my Dad's girlfriend's daughters has a five year old Down Syndrome child who is a VERY loveable person even though he doesn't really talk right now. He is also a typical five year old getting into trouble! LOL! I am posting this because this little boy is going on a Buddy Walk and is trying to raise some money for the York Area Down Syndrome Association in York, PA. Now you do NOT have to donate if you don't want to or can't but I AM asking all of my readers to look at the link I am going to provide. It is this little boy's home page and it is really informative. I have donated evne though it isn't a lot but every little bit counts. The goal is five hundred dollars and so far as of today they have raised seventy dollars since the beginning of this month. Again I am NOT asking you to donate if you don't want to but it would be appreciated. Thank you for reading this and the link. The link is www.firstgiving.com/austinschuster22. Thanks again.

Sorry For The Delay On Posting
I had good intentions of posting more than a monthly basis....REALLY! Life got in the way though and things had to be taken care of! Let's begin with my trip to PA...it was a good but short trip and we had a lot of fun. I didn't particularly care for my sister's boyfriend since he manhandled my son the FIRST day we were there. He was lucky I didn't go off on him or that my boyfriend didn't kick his ass! He came close and my boyfriend usually gets along with EVERYONE!
My niece was hilarious for a nineteen month old! My Dad is asthmatic and when he needs to use his inhaler my niece hands out her hand for the inhaler. Dad lets her see it (the end is closed) and she looks at him then acts like she is taking a puff. LOL! It is so cute and funny. Another incident is when everyone but me was ganging up on my sister with pillows and smacking her with it. My niece was looking on then suddenly charged into the center and it was like, "Mo Mo (her nickname) to the rescure!" LOL!
While we were up there I got to see a few of my friends and one of them being Jai! It was so good to see her again and she spent a few nights with us and got to meet with another friend of ours named Rick. We met with another one whose name wil be held anonoymous for protection reasons. He is shy and his wife doesn't know. Also he doesn't know about my blog but still I keep my friends private unless they don't care if I use their names. My boyfriend took Jai and my son out to play golf that Friday we were there while I met with another person back at the hotel.
Since we have been back we have been pretty busy with appointments, school starting, boyfriend going back to his routine, etc. My son had to have glasses sinec he has a slight stigmatism in his left eye but only when he is on the computer, doing homework, or anything else up close. I had a checkup when we got back as well and my PT (which I found out stood for proton!) was within normal range but they didn't tell me what it was and I forgot to ask! LOL! I have also lost some weight and hoping to keep it up as well. The doctor was going to raise my diabetic medication since my A1C 9which is a blood test used to see how sugar levels are within three months have been doing) was 8.8 but then I realized it was from July 2nd and that was sort of unfair since I have been doing much better since being out of the hospital. Next check up is November 12th!
When we got back a few days I found out that my Dad's girlfriend's daughter's (keeping up?) boyfriend had a stroke while he was in jail. He got arrested the night before we left because of a bench warrant he didn't know he had and while he was in their custody he fell off the top bunk with no ladder and hit his head on the bottom bunk. He thought he was all right until he stood up and heard something crack then he lost consciousness. When he woke up in the infirmary he told them he needed to go to the ER since something wasn't right but they made him wait for 12-15 hours before they took him when he had a stroke. When he was at the hospital they found a blood clot in his brain and the doctors say it wouldn't have happened if he would have been seen earlier. He isn't a criminal and this is how they treated him. Now he has to be on Coumadin for the rest of his life because of the stroke and the saddest part of all is that this could have been prevented if he would have been seen earlier after he fell and lost consciousness. Another sad part is....this man is only 24 years old and has this to deal with now! I thought I was too young for what happened to me but this is even more sad than my ordeal. He is doing quite well and is out of the hospital and now at home. The jails released him after he went into the hospital.
This past weekend we spent a lot of time with my boyfriend's mother and sister. On Saturday we went over there for a cookout before we dropped my son off at a friend's house to spend the night and before my boyfriend had to go to work. Yesterday we took my boyfriend's mother out for her 66th birthday and his sister was also there. My son decided he didn't want to go so we let him stay with his friend. When we picked him up last night his friend wanted to spend the night here so we allowed the boys to spend one more night since tomorrow school starts.
While my son is in school I will be meeting someone for some spanking fun. I can't be spanked anymore and with any type of implements since of the blood thinners I am on. I bruise just sitting down on a plastic or vinyl covered chair! I will have fun since I have met with this person before and he was fun to spank!

General Update
I am sorry I haven't been on here much lately but I have been ordered to take it easy and not get too overworked! Doctor's orders as well as my boyfriend's! I had been in the hospital from Wednesday, June 24th (two days after my birthday) through Saturday, June 27th! I couldn't wait to get out of the hospital since their food really sucked and I didn't like being cramped into just one room. That first day out of the hospital though was a toughie since I could barely walk from the truck to the front door! I had trouble breathing and walking long distances from room to room for about a week but then it started getting better. My PT (forgot what it stands for but it does have to deal with how my blood clots ) is a little high but they still want it back down to normal range of 2.0-3.0.
When I had to go back for a follow up from being in the hospital my PT was 3.6 on July 2nd! The lab didn't call the doctor on call that day and they were closed the next day because of the Fourth of July weekend. The doctor lowered my Warfarin (generic for Coumadin) from ten mg to seven point five mg then had to have another blood test done in a week. Well the next week I went back and had the blood test done and it came back as 3.3 so again I stopped my medicine for one night and went back to the seven point five mg for another week. Yesterday I went to get blood work done and it was still 3.3 so I was told not to take my Warfarin last night or tonight then five mg starting tomorrow then go back next week to get the blood retested.
Next weekend on Saturday I will be leaving for PA with my boyfriend and son to go visit my family members. They don't know that we are coming up a day earlier than we told them. Not going to either! LOL! We have a good full week and a day to have fun. We will return that first Sunday in August. I am sure the week will go by really fast and will be too short of a time up there but I will cherish every day I get to spend up there with my family and visit a few friends while I am up there.
We will come back and my boyfriend will go back to work the next day and my son will have an appointment to go to as well. Expensive appointment to go see the eye doctor! I am not sure if his insurance covers it so I have to pay out of pocket a hundred and fifty dollars. They won't take payments either! GRRRRRRRRRRR! Oh well that is life and it does have to get paid.

Four Celebrities Die in One Week
America has lost four great celebrities in one week.....well at least three great celebritites. Ed McMann died on Wednesday, June 24th; Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson died on Thursday, June 25th; and Billy Mays died on Sunday, June 28th. All will be remembered for certain things they have done and they will be missed by America.
Ed McMann died at age 86 and I do believe he just died of old age which I am sure had some health problems attached to it as well.
Farrah Fawcett died at age 62 after losing the battle with cancer. She will be sorely missed and remembered as one of the original Charlie's Angels. She only did one season but she was still one of the three original before Cheryl Ladd took over for her. I did find out an interesting fact though and that was she was married to Lee Majors at one time. He is remembered for being the Six Million Dollar man but I remember him as Colt Severs, a stunt man in the series Fall Guy.
Michael Jackson died at age 50 of an apparent cardiac arrest and slipping into a coma. I will miss his music but not the person himself since I believe he did molest those little boys and I can't believe he got away with it! Even this past Thursday the news was still talking about Michael Jackson. In my opinion he is the one least deserving to get all that publicity. I am sure he will be missed by his children and his family as well as the friends he did have. I just won't miss a child molester.
Billy Mays died at age 50 as well from unknown causes. His wife found him unconscious and when EMTs got there they pronounced him dead. Apparently he had hit his head on an airplane as it landed. He went to bed around ten the night before and wasn't feeling well. I will always remember Billy Mays as OxiClean, Orange Glo, etc. since he did several infermercials.
It was a shock to learn of these deaths that all occurred in one week...one right after another and they weren't really that old. Eighty-six is a little old but still young at heart. Sixty-two and fifty years of age are REALLY young to be dying. Then again there are people younger than that that have died. On one of the public sites I have been emailing a tweleve year old girl who lost her father three days before Easter at age 37 from a heart attack.
Right before I came on here to post I also found out that a retired NBL football player, Steve McNair, and a female were found shot to death in a condo he frequented. In the same section I saw that a fifteen year old girl and her father were the victims of a serial killer in South Carolina. That hits close to home since South Carolina isn't that far from here.
What is our world coming to? There is so much death in the works. I keep hearing a song pop in my mind of "Only the Good Die Young". Sometimes I think that is true.

Pest's Medical Situation
I decided to post my medical scares of the last few weeks but NOT to get attention! Only to let my readers know why I may not be posting much! There are 2 incidents but they aren't related or at least there doesn't seem to be a connection!
The first medical episode began on Thursday, June 11th 2009 when I thought I had a really bad toothache. It went from a tiny toothache on the upper part of my mouth and as the day progressed it constantly hurt and nothing I did helped any but I thought I could treat it without any professional help. The next day new symptoms arose with a stuffy, ruuny nose and pressure. I still had the so called toothache but with the new symptoms it just wasn't a toothache and I started taking medicine for a sinus infection. That didn't help either that much but I thought it would get better since it wasn't an instant relief remedy. While trying to sleep that night I noticed my mouth was drier than normal and my lips felt funny but in the morning when I was up and about it wasn't like that anymore. My face started to swell a little too but I wasn't too concerned. I just wanted the pain in my mouth and teeth to stop hueting. On Saturday morning my boyfriend went to the store to get me some Benadryl to see f that would help after calling the pharmacist. The first dose I took around noon and then I wanted to lay down since I was getting tired which my boyfriend said was normal. He laid down with me to get a nap in before work and we got up around four. We went out to watch television and I ended up falling asleep again on my boyfriend's shoulder. He had to wake me up to get ready for work and I stayed up until he left then I laid back down on the couch so I could hear my son come in from a friend's house. I got back up around eight and asked my son to fix me something to eat so I could take my pills as well as another Benadryl. By this time the only thing I could eat was soft pretzels, shrimp ramen noodle cups, and a soft burrito. My son went to bed around eight forty five on his own accord and I just didn't feel like doing anything plus I was getting too hot. Around nine I also went to bed since I was still so tired and groggy. I found I just couldn't get cooled down quick enough either which really started to bother me. I am borderline asthmatic and even that didn't really help. I almost called my boyfriend home from work to take me to the ER which I hardly EVER do since I don't like hospitals and I don't like ERs! LOL! I did manage to get some sleep and my boyfriend came home a little after midnight. I couldn't really sleep confortable so I got up and sat down next to him while he watched television. During the course where my boyfriend was at work the left side of my face swelled up rather quickly and it started to swell my eye shut. As many of you know I am sighted impaired but still have some vision and with the swelling so close to my eye I got worried. I still didn't want to go to the ER but I knew I had to and xouldn't wait until the next day to get call the doctor.
This brings us to Sunday, June 14th around twelve thirty in the morning. My bofriend took me to the ER and they got me in pretty quickly considering there were four people ahead of me but then he said it was the worst cases first and since I was having more trouble breathing what we thought might have been an allergic reaction they saw me within the few minutes we were there. The ER doc wasn't vry friendly and she was one of those types who thinks she knows everything and doesn't want to admit she could be wrong. She said it was an absessed tooth and she would order some antibotics. I was in the ER for about five and a half hours since we arrived a little before one in the morning. During this time the antibotics were administered through an IV but it took an hour to get it done. I had two scans done of my face and the second scan had to be done with a dye. Since I am on Metformin and only have one kidney I couldn't take my main diabetic pill for 48 hours since the dye could affect kidney function but was very rare. Before I was discharged the ER doc gave final instructions on what she was looking for and both my boyfriend and I agreed that she shounded disappointed when she couldn't find the absessed area. My boyfriend pretty much gets along with everyone but even he said he wanted to call her the b word! LOL!
After I was discharged deom the ER I flet MUCH better and the swelling had gone down a lot....almost back to normal. We went out to McDonald's and got some breakfast which I could eat even though my one section of teeth in my upper mouth was still sore. We laid down until but I got up at nine or so since I couldn't sleep that long even though we didn't get to bed until seven or so in the morning. I had to be up by ten thirty to take a pill but since I couldn't sleep past nine I got up and started doing some housework since the past few days I couldn't do it because I was in so much pain and I couldn't really function. We went to the pharmacy to drop off my prescriptions then we went out to eat Chinese food before going back to pick them up. I was told to take penicillin, hydrocodone, and Benadryl.
That Tuesday, June 16th I went to my nurse practioneer's office but saw someone else since the one I go see was out for the week. There was hardly ANY say about an absessed tooth in the documents the ER sent over to my files and that it was mainly a sinus infection! No wonder that ER doc was so disappointed! Even tough the nurse practioneer said he wouldn't rule it completely out he said it was mostly a sinus infection which i all ready knew that since I almost died from one six years ago in 2003! He told me to continue taking my meds and I could go back on my Metformin without any problems. I was to see my regular nurse practioneer the next Friday but I didn't know I would never make it to that appointment!
This brings us to the second medical scare and it was VERY suddenly with no warning or at least any warning that I was aware. It was early Wednesday morining (June 24th) and I had just checked my sugar level around one thirty or so. My son was still up but we all had naps so I let him stay up a little longer than I normally would and he was in the shower. I was going to take one next and while I was waiting I was going to get a little snack and a drink of water. I went to the kitchen and all of a sudden I got really hot and light headed. I sat down to clear my head but it got worse before it got better. While I was sitting down my chest tightened up really tight but it really didn't hurt and both of my arms started tingling then the room started spinning and my vision blurred more than usual! This scared me and I wasn't so sure how long it would last so I called my boyfriend and when I did it sounded like I was in a tunnel. When my boyfriend entered the kitchen I was starting to feel better but I did ask him what a heart attack felt like since I thought I had the symptoms of one. By this time my son had gotten out of the shower and entered the kitchen as well. My boyfriend had him get a washcloth and wet it down then he put it into the freezer and placed it on my head when it was cold enough. I started feeling better and thought it was over with and I just wanted to take a shower and go to bed but that wasn't to be since I had another episode come over me with what I experienced before. My boyfriend called 911 telling them I needed an ambulance since I thought I was having a heart attack. I didn't really want to go to the ER by EMS smelling dirty so I thought I could at least clean up a little and change into some shorts before they got there. I ALMOST made it but I had a third episode while in the bathroom. I called my boyfriend to help me get some panties and pants on before the EMTs saw me but no such luck since our bathroom is tiny and I was in so much pain that he was scared for me. How embarrassing to have two total strangers see me nude from the waist down! I am NOT skinny and I am VERY self conscious of anyone seeing me naked. Later on I told my boyfriend it wouldn't have been so bad if it was my top! LOL! The one EMT led me to the living room during this third episode and I was breathing really hard. They put a heart monitor on me but it showed that my heart was fine and I was NOT having a heart attack. I wanted to get dressed firdt before they took me to the ER and my boyfriend helped me get my panties on but my shorts didn't cooperate so I kicked them off. He was going to try again but I told him I couldn't since it felt like a fourth episdoe was coming on and I knew I could deal with it better sitting down. It wasn't as bad as the other three but it still was scary and so onto the gurney I went and into the ambulance I went being very scared since I could feel EVERY movement. Plus the fact I HATE having anyone to carry me because I am a big sized female despite my many attempts of losing weight.
I arrived at the ER in only my bra, shirt, panties, and socks! The staff was nice including the ER doc on call. They put me on full oxygen and after the initial information was given the doctor said he was concerned that it could be blood clots in my lungs and that my left leg was more swollen. He ordered a scan to make sure and to see where the clots were. My boyfriend then spoke up about my left leg started hurting three days prior to this which the doc said was more than likey how it started. I had the same type of scan done where I would not be able to take my Metformin for 48 hours. It took about ten or fifteen minutes or so it seemed. By the time I got back to the ER room my boyfriend and son told me they had gone to McDonald's to get something to eat and I told them I could smell it in the room. WHile we were waiting for the scan results my son started to cry and I hugged him asking him what was botherin him so much about what was happening. He told me he thought I was going to die and that was what he kept thinking. I told him I wasn't going to die and that the hospital will help me feel better.
It was around four in the morning and I told my boyfriend to take our son home so he could get some sleep and we both knew I wasn't going home and was being admitted which still could take awhile. My son gave me a hug and I told him to behave and go straight to bed since he had an early appoinment later on during the day. While he was taking my son home the ER came in and confirmed his suspicions. They found one big blood clot in my right lung and a smaller one in my left lung. He told me I would be in the hospital for about a week on blood thinners.
It seems like days since I have been here but in reality as I sit and type this it has only been 25 and a half hours since I was admitted to the hospital! I HATE laying in bed all day with not being able to move a lot. The first several hours I couldn't even go across the room to the bathroom and back without having trouble breathing. I could last night though and I am hoping the clots have started to break up. I am on blood thinners in the form of shots which I started getting yesterday. Two shots in the morning and two shots last night. I found out yesterday that I will be on blood thinners for at least a year and possibly the rest of my life. The doc right now tells me not to even think about having another baby while I am on blood thinners and that the rest of my tattoos will have to waut until I can talk to a dermatologist. He says the blood thinners and me getting tattoos will beuise more easily and it may affect the tattoos but he wasn't sure. He did suggest that since I have had so much trouble losing weight and keeping it off that I should look into gastric surgery which he thinks might help. I am not sure if my insurance will cover that or not but I will talk it over with my nurse practioneer and see what she says.
I have been doing a lot of thinking and realized I could have died without any warning. I do know that someone is watching out for me and when I get out of the hospital I am going to be making a lot of changes into my life! Despite the heat I am going to start walking and drinking more water if that is possible since I can usually drink a gallon a day. I am also going to be looking into how much it will cost to get a will done up since this has made me think more of what could happen to my son if I died before he turns 18 since I do NOT want him to go back to my ex-husband. Even though my boyfriend is really good with Colton I don't think he could get custody of my son since he isn't the biilogical father and we aren't married.
If I don't post much now you all know why. I am not sure when I will be out of the hospital but I was told I could be here for up to six days which would put it next Monday before I got out of here. I am in ICU right now but at least I can have a laptop and my cell phone. My boyfriend even can bring me in a sandwich or something too which he did early this morning! He had to work the prison last night on limited sleep but he was allowed to get off after six hours and someone he has known for 15 years asked him what he was doing at work when I was in the hospital. He is thinking of taking Thursday off to spend time with my son since he stayed with a friend last night. On Friday night his one friend returns from his father's after a rwo week stay and my son is going to spend the night there. On Saturday we were returning the favor so his parents (mother and stepfather that has raised him since he was six years old) can spend some alone time together doe his birthday which is on Sunday. We were suppose to go to the party but I doubt I will be out of the hospital by then. My boyfriend and son are still going though which I want them to but at the same time sad I may not be able to go! My boyfriend will still keep the boys on Saturday night so it is still in thw works.
My boyfriend is doing well since he was pretty much thrown into a father mode completely now that I am in the hospital! LOL! I keep telling him things to remind him of my son's appointments this week and he keeps looking at me saying he knows. I told him I am sorry but I am so use to being in control of that and for the first time in my son's life I am not in control. It makes me feel helpless and not a good mother but then again I am only human and can get sick like everyone else. I just HATE spending ANY time in the hospitals!
The first medical episode began on Thursday, June 11th 2009 when I thought I had a really bad toothache. It went from a tiny toothache on the upper part of my mouth and as the day progressed it constantly hurt and nothing I did helped any but I thought I could treat it without any professional help. The next day new symptoms arose with a stuffy, ruuny nose and pressure. I still had the so called toothache but with the new symptoms it just wasn't a toothache and I started taking medicine for a sinus infection. That didn't help either that much but I thought it would get better since it wasn't an instant relief remedy. While trying to sleep that night I noticed my mouth was drier than normal and my lips felt funny but in the morning when I was up and about it wasn't like that anymore. My face started to swell a little too but I wasn't too concerned. I just wanted the pain in my mouth and teeth to stop hueting. On Saturday morning my boyfriend went to the store to get me some Benadryl to see f that would help after calling the pharmacist. The first dose I took around noon and then I wanted to lay down since I was getting tired which my boyfriend said was normal. He laid down with me to get a nap in before work and we got up around four. We went out to watch television and I ended up falling asleep again on my boyfriend's shoulder. He had to wake me up to get ready for work and I stayed up until he left then I laid back down on the couch so I could hear my son come in from a friend's house. I got back up around eight and asked my son to fix me something to eat so I could take my pills as well as another Benadryl. By this time the only thing I could eat was soft pretzels, shrimp ramen noodle cups, and a soft burrito. My son went to bed around eight forty five on his own accord and I just didn't feel like doing anything plus I was getting too hot. Around nine I also went to bed since I was still so tired and groggy. I found I just couldn't get cooled down quick enough either which really started to bother me. I am borderline asthmatic and even that didn't really help. I almost called my boyfriend home from work to take me to the ER which I hardly EVER do since I don't like hospitals and I don't like ERs! LOL! I did manage to get some sleep and my boyfriend came home a little after midnight. I couldn't really sleep confortable so I got up and sat down next to him while he watched television. During the course where my boyfriend was at work the left side of my face swelled up rather quickly and it started to swell my eye shut. As many of you know I am sighted impaired but still have some vision and with the swelling so close to my eye I got worried. I still didn't want to go to the ER but I knew I had to and xouldn't wait until the next day to get call the doctor.
This brings us to Sunday, June 14th around twelve thirty in the morning. My bofriend took me to the ER and they got me in pretty quickly considering there were four people ahead of me but then he said it was the worst cases first and since I was having more trouble breathing what we thought might have been an allergic reaction they saw me within the few minutes we were there. The ER doc wasn't vry friendly and she was one of those types who thinks she knows everything and doesn't want to admit she could be wrong. She said it was an absessed tooth and she would order some antibotics. I was in the ER for about five and a half hours since we arrived a little before one in the morning. During this time the antibotics were administered through an IV but it took an hour to get it done. I had two scans done of my face and the second scan had to be done with a dye. Since I am on Metformin and only have one kidney I couldn't take my main diabetic pill for 48 hours since the dye could affect kidney function but was very rare. Before I was discharged the ER doc gave final instructions on what she was looking for and both my boyfriend and I agreed that she shounded disappointed when she couldn't find the absessed area. My boyfriend pretty much gets along with everyone but even he said he wanted to call her the b word! LOL!
After I was discharged deom the ER I flet MUCH better and the swelling had gone down a lot....almost back to normal. We went out to McDonald's and got some breakfast which I could eat even though my one section of teeth in my upper mouth was still sore. We laid down until but I got up at nine or so since I couldn't sleep that long even though we didn't get to bed until seven or so in the morning. I had to be up by ten thirty to take a pill but since I couldn't sleep past nine I got up and started doing some housework since the past few days I couldn't do it because I was in so much pain and I couldn't really function. We went to the pharmacy to drop off my prescriptions then we went out to eat Chinese food before going back to pick them up. I was told to take penicillin, hydrocodone, and Benadryl.
That Tuesday, June 16th I went to my nurse practioneer's office but saw someone else since the one I go see was out for the week. There was hardly ANY say about an absessed tooth in the documents the ER sent over to my files and that it was mainly a sinus infection! No wonder that ER doc was so disappointed! Even tough the nurse practioneer said he wouldn't rule it completely out he said it was mostly a sinus infection which i all ready knew that since I almost died from one six years ago in 2003! He told me to continue taking my meds and I could go back on my Metformin without any problems. I was to see my regular nurse practioneer the next Friday but I didn't know I would never make it to that appointment!
This brings us to the second medical scare and it was VERY suddenly with no warning or at least any warning that I was aware. It was early Wednesday morining (June 24th) and I had just checked my sugar level around one thirty or so. My son was still up but we all had naps so I let him stay up a little longer than I normally would and he was in the shower. I was going to take one next and while I was waiting I was going to get a little snack and a drink of water. I went to the kitchen and all of a sudden I got really hot and light headed. I sat down to clear my head but it got worse before it got better. While I was sitting down my chest tightened up really tight but it really didn't hurt and both of my arms started tingling then the room started spinning and my vision blurred more than usual! This scared me and I wasn't so sure how long it would last so I called my boyfriend and when I did it sounded like I was in a tunnel. When my boyfriend entered the kitchen I was starting to feel better but I did ask him what a heart attack felt like since I thought I had the symptoms of one. By this time my son had gotten out of the shower and entered the kitchen as well. My boyfriend had him get a washcloth and wet it down then he put it into the freezer and placed it on my head when it was cold enough. I started feeling better and thought it was over with and I just wanted to take a shower and go to bed but that wasn't to be since I had another episode come over me with what I experienced before. My boyfriend called 911 telling them I needed an ambulance since I thought I was having a heart attack. I didn't really want to go to the ER by EMS smelling dirty so I thought I could at least clean up a little and change into some shorts before they got there. I ALMOST made it but I had a third episode while in the bathroom. I called my boyfriend to help me get some panties and pants on before the EMTs saw me but no such luck since our bathroom is tiny and I was in so much pain that he was scared for me. How embarrassing to have two total strangers see me nude from the waist down! I am NOT skinny and I am VERY self conscious of anyone seeing me naked. Later on I told my boyfriend it wouldn't have been so bad if it was my top! LOL! The one EMT led me to the living room during this third episode and I was breathing really hard. They put a heart monitor on me but it showed that my heart was fine and I was NOT having a heart attack. I wanted to get dressed firdt before they took me to the ER and my boyfriend helped me get my panties on but my shorts didn't cooperate so I kicked them off. He was going to try again but I told him I couldn't since it felt like a fourth episdoe was coming on and I knew I could deal with it better sitting down. It wasn't as bad as the other three but it still was scary and so onto the gurney I went and into the ambulance I went being very scared since I could feel EVERY movement. Plus the fact I HATE having anyone to carry me because I am a big sized female despite my many attempts of losing weight.
I arrived at the ER in only my bra, shirt, panties, and socks! The staff was nice including the ER doc on call. They put me on full oxygen and after the initial information was given the doctor said he was concerned that it could be blood clots in my lungs and that my left leg was more swollen. He ordered a scan to make sure and to see where the clots were. My boyfriend then spoke up about my left leg started hurting three days prior to this which the doc said was more than likey how it started. I had the same type of scan done where I would not be able to take my Metformin for 48 hours. It took about ten or fifteen minutes or so it seemed. By the time I got back to the ER room my boyfriend and son told me they had gone to McDonald's to get something to eat and I told them I could smell it in the room. WHile we were waiting for the scan results my son started to cry and I hugged him asking him what was botherin him so much about what was happening. He told me he thought I was going to die and that was what he kept thinking. I told him I wasn't going to die and that the hospital will help me feel better.

Who Wants To Spank Pestiebrat?
Tomorrow is my 32nd birthday so who would like to give me a birthday spanking? LOL! I am sure a few hands went up there! My boyfriend is taking me out to Ruby Tuesday's for lunch then we are going to go see a movie called Drag Me To Hell! That is the only one here that sounded interesting to go to but the one I really want to go see won't come out until Wednesday, June 24th and my boyfriend has to work then. After the movie we are going to come home and he is going to fix me supper of BLTs! He so spoils me at times but I secretly love it as well! LOL!
