Medical Update….not that you asked and other assorted topics.

Well they finally think they know what the hell is going on with me. Finally.
It’s only taken a dozen doctors and 15 years of my life while getting more and more sick.
And it is way too long , involved and boring to get into here. I won’t do that to you all.

Even knowing that this next 12 months or so will be difficult, painful and trying I am excited. Dying is not a great thought and truth be told when my organs were failing it was pretty damn scary. Honestly coming close to leaving this earth was/is scary but I admit that I am shallow and the parts that bothered me most were the vanity issues. The weight gain primarily, the hair and skin changes secondary….hence the short hair.

Yesterday my wonderful doctor told me that once this is “reversed or fixed” I should be back to my “old” self.  I'm hoping it can be reversed, we will see I suppose.
That means a lot of things but it most importantly means that I will have my original body back….I pray for that. 
And just so ya’ll know….I will then be walking around naked all the time!
Since I have had to carry around this extra weight that I had no control or hand in gaining I plan to be naked 24/7 winter, spring, summer and fall.
Thankfully my husband’s eyesight over the last 15 years has also deteriorated so that will definitely come in handy don’tcha think?

So enough of all that medical crap – old people talking about their aches and pains…nothing worse!

Going to the lake tonight. Another weekend of work, work, work.
That should be it for this year except small things.
Money slowed down all the work and updates this year and there is a part of me that is rather glad. That means we can go and just enjoy.
Sit on floating chairs and sip a cool beverage.
Here’s my step mom doing just that when she visited last year.

She was scared getting into the chair and we all had some good chuckles as she tried desperately to get in and not get wet.  She's a bit scared of water you see.
Her son in law Rick and her grandson Jordan both were holding her and the chair to keep it from floating away from the stairs.  She slipped and turned and someone touched her butt by accident which made her yell, “OH MY GOD” so loudly and my husband said, “Hey it's traumatizing me too you know!”
And then everyone burst into laughter and she got her butt in the chair.  Thankfully she could just float up to the stairs by the side of the floating dock and get herself out.

Here is her grandson and my adorbable nephew who is graduating in a few weeks.
He is looking deep in thought here.  Probably traumitized because it was really him that bumped Grandma's butt and his Uncle Rick covered for him. 

 I can't believe my little Jo-Jo is about to go off to college - in California no less.

Oh look at what a cutie he is below. I could just hug him to pieces!
