A lot has been going on in my little world.
Back in November, a job fell in my lap. Yep! I was delivering Avon books and was asked if I was interested in a part time job. At first, it was just supposed to be 11 hours a week. That lasted one week. Some days I got my 11 hours by the end of the shift and had to watch my hours at the end of the week to make sure I didn't get overtime. For a while, I was working 6 and 7 days a week. Now, I'm down to 4. I'm not complaining. I do miss the hours, but I missed having some free time too. I went from just working my Avon business to working a part time-ish job AND Avon. :)
Since then, I've also been able to go to the doctor. I have got my migraines under control for the most part. The first neurologist I saw put me on a high dosage of Topamax. After I had a break through migraine, I wasn't able to drive because it threw me all off. I know it sounds strange, but one day I was driving and it seemed like the car suddenly was a big as a room and the steering wheel was smaller than a keyboard. I switched doctors! The new doctor sent me for a LOVELY MRI (note sarcasm) and gave me a clear bill of health, brain wise anyway.
I've also have going back for more treatment for my endometriosis and adenomyosis. Over the years I have tried so many things to treat these issues. I've tried herbal remedies, compounded hormones, fertility drugs, birth control pills/patch, and none of them worked. So, after all this aggravation of dealing with these "female problems" for 15 years. I have now decided to try Danazol. It's the pill form of Lupron from what I understand. It will now put a "freeze" on my body and somewhat put me in menopause. Yay for hot flashes!!!
This past month I have had to deal with some new emotions. March 18th marked the 4 year anniversary of my oldest sister, Terri, dying from metastatic breast cancer. Also, during that week, a person who has the same kind of job my husband does was killed. They have very dangerous jobs. I have faced my own mortality and I, myself, am not afraid of death. I am saved. I've never had the reality of how close of becoming a widow I am every time my husband goes to work.
Well, I guess that's enough for one night :)
