Clean colon!

Well, I finally got my colonspoloy (Okay I know I spell it wrong but you get the picture...my college education at work!! lol)

Anyways, I have been terrified to do this. My father died of colon cancer 14yrs ago at the age of 51. So doctors told me when I turned 40 I should get one. I will be 40 in July so I went ahead and got her done. Yesterday was TERRIBLE!!! I couldnt eat for almost 48 hrs and had to drink this awful stuff that smelled like the water you find at the bottom of a garbage can, I almost threw up, got the chills and had to poop water all day. Today I was so scared that they would find something. The sedative was GREAT!! I love that...and they found nothing. I have a perfectly healthy colon and I do not have to have it again for another one for 5 yrs (because of my family history).

I could have cried. I was so happy. Thank you Daddy for watching out for me and Thank you God dude, if you are listening.

Now I just need to get this thyroid crap done. I am thinking surgery is in my future because of my swallowing difficulty but I can deal with it.

I hate doctors

Well the next few months are going to include a LOT of doctors visits. Between me taking my mom to her hand surgery, I have to have a colonoposy (I spelt that wrong!!!) because of a family history...well only my Dad who died of colon cancer 14 yrs ago. And then they have discovered that I am hyperthyroid and that there is a lump on my thyroid. Nothing to really worry about, 95% of thyroid lumps are benign but I have to have a needle biopsy to be sure and to decide if I need surgery to remove it. The upside is, if I have surgery I get to be Frankenstein!!

I really hate going to the doctor. The only good thing is I get a few days off. :grin:

Attack of the 2nd grader!!

I subbed today for a 2nd grade class...I will be subbing for them tomorrow too. These guys are just nuts!! lol Its fun but today we had to write poems using similes...I got some really weird poems. One kid wrote one about monsters eating people and another wrote one about a dead rat. Should I be worried? I think so.


I also learned about another little girls dead guinea pig....it was one of those days.

Radioactive girl!!!

Today was my day at the hospital. I had a couple of blood tests last week and it was discovered that I am hyperthyroid. But the blood test was not good enough. I also had to have a thyroid scan and a thyroid ultrasound. The scan required me to swallow a radioactive pill which I had to take with a plastic cup since I was not allowed to touch it. lol I kept hoping I would get superpowers today but nope...nothing. But I did find out that I have a REALLY big thyroid which is what has been affecting my swallowing for the last few years. I choke very easily and I had always thought it was just me, but it turns out I have a big ass thyroid. lol But no superpowers.

I start the pills tomorrow and then go to the doctor again next week.

I swear

I write more blogs about how much I hate my mother. Oh yes, I hate my mother.

circle of life

My grandmother on the left, Buena in the middle and the last sister, Mildred on the right. My grandmother was the youngest along with her twin brother. He was the first to go at 81, then my grandmother at 83, Buena was 96. Mildred is the last of the family still living and she is 92.

My 37 yr old sister called me yesterday to let me know she is pregnant. She already has two little girls, 13 and 10 and now this is very big surprise.That same night I found out that my great aunt Buena (whose picture is on my site here) died at the age of 96.
