Health, Question, Answers, Fear

So for at least a year I have been trying to figure out why I have certain health symptoms. It all started with a Neurologist, but I have also included Cardiologist, Urologist, and finally a GI Doc. I am currently at the Gi stage of this frustrating and costly journey for answers.

So far every test that has been ran has been normal or nothing that is serious or explain the issues that I am having. I have had X-rays, MRI's, wires hooked up to my head, blood work, my jewels felt up, fingers and medical devices shoved where the sun don't shine, and medical devices shoved down my throat. The later one being where we are today.

In the last month I have had an endoscopy and just the other day a colonoscopy. Both time something was biopsied. Though I was told by the Dr. that on the endoscopy that if I didn't hear from them I should assume they found nothing (I am not assuming anything), my heart is heavy. A s I set and wait for the results from the colonoscopy, I can't but fear the worst, with what they found that lead to the biopsies it feels as if my your test results are normal luck might be running out.

I will be the first to say I am someone that always assumes the worst, this is a protective reflex to prevent bad news from affecting to much. Not saying it is right or even healthy but that is who I am.

So on the colonoscopy they found 7 polyps, one that they say as pretty large. Being the Google Dr. that I am, my searches indicate larger polyps are sign of Cancer. So as I set here and wait for my follow up appointment in a few weeks I do so expecting them to tell just that. So I would get an possible answer to my question of what is wrong with me. An answer, that if true, is not the one I wanted to hear, nor one that I care to experience.

Now do I think I am going to die, no not really! The luck I have I will just be mearsible, it will cost me a shit load of money, but will not kill me.

Guess I will have to wait a little longer, I will stress about it, I will try to distract myelf, wrap myself up in work, maybe even pretend nothing is wrong and continue to look for a new job. All the while waiting to hammer to drop..........why did I seek answers? Maybe I should have just buried my head in the grown and went on like nothing was ever wrong?

This Time A Year

It has been 8 years since my sisters last Christmas. I don’t know what it is but this year has been the hardest on me. Christmas was her absoulate favorite time of year, she lived for this time of year. I on the other had have been turned off a little for many years. Christamas just isn’t what it use to be when I was younger. I think that I only celebrated because of the kids and Mom and Dad. I have tried so hard this year to get into the spirit. Maybe it is because of the grandbabies, maybe it is the my parents failing health. But I have tried so hard this year, but I just can’t get over the hump. I have been emotional. All I can think about is how happy she would be knowing that both the boys would be there. All in all I can think about he my sister and how much I miss her more everyday.

The Road So Far

So we are ending the 5th week of school. How am I doing you ask? Well in short.....struggling. There just does not seem to be enough time, when I try to set time aside responsibilities come up. It is really  wearing me out. The only positive thing is that the classes I am doing I have enough familiarity and can “fake” it enough that I getting bye with an decent grade. It should be better, but it isn’t, at this point it is all about getting to the finish line of the set of classes. Sadly it is only going to get worse in the next 8 weeks as I have a composition class as well as a lab. I think I will ok with the lab, but the composition class is going to really try my resolve to reach this goal. I know I have other classes like this in the future, but being my fist one and so early in the process this will be a much better test for me. I can’t “fake” this one.

Just Not Feeling It

So the past few weeks, well maybe months I just not feeling the work thing. It not like my job is hard, well shouldn’t be hard. There are times where others make it harder than it has to be, and some of the people I deal with are just difficult to deal with. But overall this job is not complicated, I am just not feeling it. So those that might say “why don’t you find another job”, to them I say I have been trying. I haver looked, had a couple offers that didn’t work for family reasons, others that just never came to together. But I am looking, maybe at time passively, but I am looking. What gets me is that it is not like I am not apprecated at least by my superiors, or most of my co-waorkers. So I should not really be feeling the way I do. What way is that you you ask? THe feeling that the job I do is thankless, that people that I have to deal with don’t really want me around or care for what I have to say...even when they know that I am giving them sound advise, its just that it
