Wow! My 40th entry already. I used to think I'd never make it to 10 let alone 40th lol. The odd date is because I started this entry late on the 12th and finished on the 13th hehehe.
So I guess I'll do a lil bit of updating. Yea yea yea, quit yer groaning, we all know its more then likely gonna be another mini book entry lol. Bite me! I like to write ok lol.
I can't believe how many compliments I've gotten sine I put up the new pictures. Totally blows my mind at points. I've even got a few guys wanting to get to know me (*faints in shock lmao). Its so weird! Must admit, it does help the ego with a lil boost while at the same time overwhelms me.
I started working on the website to put this in. Gonna take a while but its started lol. Luckily I put this journal in other sites because I discovered VampireFreaks didn't hold all the entries. I was like oh phooey patootie lol. Good thing I decided to do the site, that way I know I will have all the entries when the time comes to decide if I am going to do as suggested/thought of and turn this into a book. I've had enough people say this has inspired/helped them that its a very serious thought. I just don't know how to go about doing that lmao. Time will tell I guess.
I didn't loose any weight in October but I did stay the same so thats a plus. Not bad considering I've not been on any of my medications due to not having the $ to do the co-pays. I got denied for the temp disability so I have to fight that. I'm going to do that this week as I see the specialist again and will get the needed medical information from him and family doctor to send to the disability place. Heck by the time this is done, I'll be ready to go back to work lol. Its only supposed to be a 6 month deal and this is the 3rd month. For the most part I've liked not being at work because I'm less stressed and no where near as much pain.
I finally got an MRI done. 3rd times a charm apparently lol. 2 other doctors have tried to get MRI but insurance refused. The specialist got approval the same day they tried! I found out (officially? even though X-rays showed as well) I have arthritis in lower spine as well as 2 protrusions, 1 in lower spine and 1 in middle spine. The 2 areas I tend to get pinched feelings that drive me insane. Its good to know its not in my mind lol. I told my doctor I was expecting them to say I'm nuts and theres nothing wrong because of how my "luck" has been lmao. Its fun to make my doctors n nurses giggle ;)
Protrusions are similar to bulging discs, just not as bad and surgery isn't needed (I'll get more in-depth details on this issue from specialist). Once I get some $ coming in and can pay for the co-pays, I'll need to start physical therapy again to help with that. I also need to get the weight off (of course lol). So now I have 3 family doctors and 2 specialists telling the insurance company I need the surgery.
3 more weigh ins and then my case is finally ready to go to the insurance company. February is last weigh in and all is done on my part. It will just be a wait and see game then.
I'm feeling more confident about getting approved but still will not get my hopes up 100% until its actually done.
I'm finding it easier to do housework now :) Thats basically my exercise now that I'm off work for a while. I've also begun to make myself do some simple things while I am at computer to help decrease my flab in upper body. Stretching mainly but I'm feeling some burn lol. Easy peasy to do while sitting here so no excuses from me anymore that I can't do anything excersiserish lol. Its time to stop being completly lazy and help myself too! I've been really bad at using excuses to not do more excersizes. Bad me, Bad me!
In case I'm late in next entry, I hope everyone has a fantastic Thanksgiving and Safe hunting seasons.
More to be written later.
