    Checkup

    Went to my family Doctor Melling.

    BP 110/70

    Pulse 72

    Temp 95.1       Yes NINETY FIVE!

    Weight 219…. down 11 lbs since last visit.:-)

    Doctor Melling thinks my slow weight loss may be due to Lyrica, Abilify, and/or my PCOS.

    Wants Dr Langton My endocrinologist to check my thyroid, my hormones levels, etc for PCOS and Cushings. I see Langton next Thursday.

    Starting on Tramadol for my Fibromyalgia.

    Back on Glucophage. Stopped Glypizide.

    Gonna start aquatic therapy for my fibromylagia in Sept at St Lukes Therapy.

    Spoke to My Gastric Bypass nurse about my exploratory surgery. Found adhesions in my small bowel and EVERYTHING ELSE WAS NORMAL!

    Praise Jesus!

    Went to Walmart grocery shopping.

    Ate at the Gondolier. Had a childs portion of Ravioli. I only ate 2.5 of them. DUMPED like crazy after wards. UGH!

    Sugar is almost back to normal. Thinking the abnormal high glucose levels might have been a stress reaction to the surgery.

    Fed-Ex delivered my Cuisinart Frozen Yogurt, Ice Cream, and Sorbet Maker. Gonna make No Sugar added, high protein, low fat ice cream. Been craving ice cream! YUM!

    Love and Prayers to my beloved John. Pray he is sleeping well.

    Prayers to my Aunt Earlene who is in the hospital with a  stroke or Bells Palsy.

    Thanks Jesus for everything. I feel much better knowing that all is well with my gastric bypass surgery. I know I will continue to lose weight.

    God Bless Everyone,

    Angela

    My Day

    Having stomach aches and pains. So all is normal. Ha!

    Feeling so queasy to my tummy this afternoon. Yuck.

    Didn’t sleep well. Tired.

    Gonna go shower, clean up and go grocery shopping at Wal-Mart.

    Besides groceries I also plan on picking  up some notebooks, computer paper, pens, envelopes, etc. since it is tax free weekend.

    Irritable Bowel, Grouchie Pouchie. SICK

    Started vomiting around 1 am. Upchucked 5 times. Woke at 3:30 am with explosive diarrhea and upper left quadrant pain. UGH! Just feeling yucky. Thought I would get up awhile and see if I could get my tummy to calm down.

    “Pouchie” is the nickname I gave my new stomach after Gastric Bypass.

    Gonna read some online news and then head back to bed to TRY and sleep .

    Doctor Appointments

    Rosie sees her hematologist tomorrow @ 3

    I have renal lab work tomorrow as well.

    Rosie and I both go to St Lukes Physical Therapy for Water Aquatics on Wednesday @ 1

    I go to my Podiatrist on May 18th at 3:45

    I assume Rosie and I will be having water therapy 3 times a week.

    BUSY BUSY BUSY

    I have slept 3.5 hours and heading back to bed in a few minutes.

    Angela

    Bedtime

    Almost 5 am and time to hot the sack.

    Having pain in  my legs, arms and back.

    Pray that I can sleep.

    Seems I can take Trazodone and  sleep 3 hours. Then I am Awake 3 hours. Take another Trazodone and sleep 3 hours.I can take a total of 150 mg of trazodone. Sometimes I only take 12.5 each time. I have tried 150 mg at once and still can only sleep 3 hours. If I wake up around 10-11 am and I haven’t slept I am afraid to take more than 25 mg since Trazodone knocks me out!

    I don’t wanna sleep all morning into the late  afternoon and be up all night .. but alas that is what has been transpiring.

    Pray that I can regulate my sleep patterns.

    Good Night and Sweet Dreams.

    Prayers to all those who suffer form Insomnia or hypersomnia. A few days last week I slept 12 hours. TWELVE!

    God Bless,

    Angela

    ~Angela~ Sleep??

    I have slept ONLY 3 hours. I am so wore out. Heading back to bed shortly. Not sure IF I should take another Trazodone to sleep or not. I have only taken one.. I am allowed 3 per night. Seems lately that my “Nights” are days. Been staying up till 6 am. Will prolly sleep all morn and into the afternoon. Hope so at least.

    Night,

    Angela

    ~Angela~ Update on Moi'

    Doing so-so.

    My sugar has been everywhere from 90 to 487 this week. That in itself is draining.

    Slept around 6 hours last night. Was up till 6 am though

    Having a wonderful time getting closer to my baby Love John. He is the greatest. A few times in the past week he has had on his business attire and looking so debonair and HOT… which he always does but a dress shirt is so lovely on him. Once this week he had on a white linen casual shirt.. unbuttoned a lil.. Thought I was gonna faint with desire!

    I am now on Buspar, Lyrica, Cymbalta and Trazodone for my Fibromylagia, Neuropahy, Social Anxiety,Insomnia and Depression. I also take Novolog Insulin through my insulin pump. Plus Atenolol for my heart rate. Synthroid for my Thyroid. Glypizide for my diabetes. Aygestin for my Endometrial Hyperplasia. Hormone. Plus over 10 vitamins daily. Some days the vitamins make me so nauseous… But I need them.

    My hair is fill falling out by the handfuls. I swear I am gonna end up bald before it levels out. Good Thing is that my hair is coming back in quickly. My Hypothyroid is the main culprit. That should get better soon as my synthroid dosage was lowered.

    Been having weird legs craps. Not normal calf ones.. these are in the side of my leg above my ankle. Ugh.. So painful.

    I had gained 5 lbs. I have lost 2.8 of those lbs this week. Watching my carb intake helps tremendously.

    Ate 1/4th cup of homemade spaghetti and meat sauce for supper and it made me ill.

    I haven’s had upper left quadrant stomach pain since I stopped the pre-made protein shakes. THANK GOD I figured out what was causing it.

    My Irritable Bowel probs comes and goes. Had more than a few accidents while I was sleeping this past month. UGH. What a mess. Some days all I have is diarrhea and others constipation. Not pleasant in the least.

    Since I have been losing hair and had to Cut it short I ordered a HUMAN HAIR Wig.. Should be here on Monday. Can’t wait to have hair flowing down my back again. Now just hope I can get my hair to match the wig perfectly. I ordered a 3/4 wig which means my front hair will go over the wig and blend. I use to wear wigs all the time about 16 years ago. Love being able to change my style often. I bore easily.

    My love and Prayers to Bret, His family, friends, and fans.

    Having lots of visitors from Arizona, Pennsylvania, and Nebraska…. Makes me wonder if it is Bret’s family since that is where he and his family members reside. Hmmmm…. Curious.

    We (Dad, Rosie and I) bought more domain websites this week. My family now owns 48 websites. Now just getting them all up and running. Wish us luck!

    Excited about Google RUMORED Tablet which is like the Ipad but better. Can’t wait for more news on it. I want one!

    Wondering if I have another UTI. My sugar has been swinging wildly and it is often due to an UTI. Seemsl ike I am urinating too much and too often. I have lab work on my Kidneys on Tuesday so I guess we will find out then.

    Will prolly be going grocery shopping tomorrow. Pray that I don’t have a panic attack.. which I often do!

    Was gonna go shower but just realized it is 3:45 AM!

    I have hair oil on … slept it in last night and looks like I will sleep in it tonight. Using jojoba oil, sweet almond oil with Lemon essential oils for a nice scent. My scalp is so itchy lately. Feels like I have salt grains and sores in it, Sure it is related to my hypothyroid.

    I am off to bed.

    I send all my love, prayers, and blessings to all who read this.

    The Lord Jesus Christ Loves you.

    God Bless,

    Angela


    Insomnia Sucks

    It is 11:35 Am and I have gotten maybe 4 hours of Sleep.

    I am heading back to bed as soon as I take a sleeping aid.

    Praying that I can slumber a few additional hours.

    ~Angela

    ~Angela~ 4:30 am

    I am still awake. About to attempt to go to sleep.

    Had a so-so day. Went to Walmart and got some seeds for our garden.

    Ate at Wendys.

    I was a bad lil gal and stopped at Dunkin Donuts. First time in over 10 years. Had 2 donuts…. Sugar skyrocketed to 400. Now it is back to normal.Will do better tomorrow.

    Prayers sent to my cousin Brandy. Love ya and I hope to talk to you soon.

    HAd a nice time with John as I always do. Baby Love is the best.

    Been working on a new website. I now own 24 domains.

    Have about 1/3rd operational.

    Been so hyper today and now I am wore out.

    Prayers to Bret for a speedy Recovery.

    Got a headache. Abilify does that. Hope that as it gets in my system that I will no longer be as hyper and that I have no headaches.

    Poor baby John… he has had itchy gritty eyes the past few days. Has been so bad he could not wear his contacts. He sees his doc tomorrow in regards to his breathing probs. All nasal. Pray he slept well tonight. He didn’t sleep well the night before due to him being worried about me. His breathing probs didnt help matters.

    Told him from now on that

    I would Breathe for him

    :-)

    I pray to feel his manly embrace as I doze off into Dreamland tonight.

    I am off to bed.

    Love and Prayers to all,

    Angela



    ~Angela~ Mood is more stable today

    Thanks to Jesus I am doing better today.

    Sugar was 157 this morn.

    Slept like a baby.

    Feel rested.

    Watching my carb intake closely.

    1 MG of Abilify is helping but I do have a lingering headache.

    Gonna go eat a sirloin burger.. sans the bun.

    ~Angela


    ~Angela~ Erratic Mood Swings

    Still having erratic mood swings. Driving me insane.

    Happy. Crying. Worried. Stressed. Over Confident. No Esteem. Going back and forth. Roller coastering.

    Cried at Chat with John today. Even got angry and left chat. I never do that. Went back promptly.

    Thank God he is so patient with me.

    I have gained 5 lbs this week.

    Eating is out of control.

    Eat to the point of getting ill and eating more afterwards.

    I hate myself.

    Why can’t I follow my gastric bypass plan?

    Why haven’t I lost more weight?

    I was 284 lbs on Sept 1st.

    Today I am back to 219. Was down to 214 a week ago.

    These mood swings are killing me.

    I wanna die.

    Can’t live like this.

    Either all I do is sleep or I don’t sleep at all.

    Trying different meds to get my moods and sleep patterns contolled and none are working for me.

    Back on abilify and taking trazodone to sleep. Even with it I am awake every 2.5 hours. Take another trazodone. Wait for it to work and back to sleep. Repeat

    My sugar has went crazy the past 3-4 days. Too many carbs and not enough insulin. Been any where from 69 to 397. That in itself will cause wild fluctuations in moods.

    Wonder “If” I like feeling like crap all the time.

    Just wish I could deal with life and stressful situations better than I do. I don’t cope well. I have never coped well. I will be 45 this year and I pray that its time I learn to…

    Cope

    LOVE

    Have relationships

    Been so lonely lately. Been over 15 years since I went on a date. Yes FIFTEEN Years without a man, a hug, a kiss….

    Wondering IF I will ever allow a man in my life.

    I have known from the beginning that John and I will never be together… prolly the only reason I let him get so close to me.

    Tears Falling….

    It would take a miracle for John and I even to meet. Over 3500 miles separate us… plus he is close to his family and all.. just like I am to mine.

    John is such a good man and I adore him. The best friend I ever had.

    I am crying so hard.. internally and externally as I type this through wet eye lashes…

    Just wish I had all the answers…

    Wishing God would knock me up the side of my head and say, ” Angela… Do this. Not That.”

    Specific instructions from God is what I desire.

    I truly think I am a good person. I have given my life to the Jesus. Not perfect but I try. I know all my sins are forgiven.

    I have given up my entire existence for my Baby Sis Rosie. I love her dearly. I need her more than she needs me. My closest friend.

    I just wish I was able to talk to men. Let a man into my REAL life just not my virtual life.

    Wiping away a myriad of tears flowing.

    I hate having fibromyalgia pain so often.

    Reoccurring more frequently and is more prolonged and more painful lately.

    I hate being scared of leaving the house.

    We had planned on going out numerous times this week and I  kept on postponing it. Making up reasons.. when in actuality I was too scared to go out.

    I have also become an online shopaholic. Spending too much money on frivolous items like clothes, jewelry, shoes, makeup etc.

    I spend the majority of my free time online. I rarely do anything else. I seldom cook, clean, do laundry, exercise, etc.

    I wanna do more.. but I actually never do.

    Lazy.

    Uninspired.

    Misguided.

    Needing help in all areas.

    My health has improved since gastric bypass in some ways but in others it has declined.

    Mentally I am a mess.

    Needy.

    Scared.

    Worried about my future..

    if there even is one.

    How many people do you know that freaks out even to talk to family members by phone. Raise your hands… I am raising mine. It totally freaks me out.

    I detest being in situations where I will have to converse.

    I have had cognitive behavioral training.. did me no good.

    I have spoken to doctors, therapists, psychologists, psychiatrists, etc.

    When I talk about things.. it makes me even more unable to cope.

    I am literally and physically exhasuted tonight.

    My mind is wandering.

    Can’t write what I want to…

    whirling

    swirling

    down

    down

    down

    I am off to bed….

    to pray

    and

    to cry some more.

    Asking the Lord Jesus Christ to help me.

    ~Angela



    ~Angela~ Not Feeling Well...

    Same Old. Same Old.

    Not Sleeping.

    No Energy.

    Not able to function.

    Scared of Life!

    Aching all over.

    A total mess!

    Will it ever change?

    Thank God for my John… he helps me so much… but sometimes that is not even enough for me to cope and deal with things.

    I surrender it all to the Lord.

    ~Angela
