What’s Wrong With This Woman! (aka Oh, Not Again.)

No, I’m not all prepped for surgery.  Neither in Cuba, no less.  I’ve got a little bit of a problem for my second IV anemia infusion tomorrow.  I had a similar problem last time.  It was just a pesky virus that I’d hoped would be gone by the date, but nope.  It was gone the [...]

Yes, yes.  I know.  How often does our blood boil when someone asks us how we are doing, and we simply answer, “I’m fine.”  Well, I am here to tell you that answer is…actually, quite “fine.”  I swear.  Cross my fine little heart. I’m not sure how many of you have seen this film I [...]

Hospital a Bust

June 8, 2011 in Boring Posts, Head Injury, Health, Hospitalizations, Medicine, Meds, Seizures

I was going to write about this yesterday but too sick.  Still sick.  Hours and hours waiting and not admitted.  At least I tried.  So, no option for help there.  Only option is to keep working with the pharmacies for Clobazam/Frisium.

Inpatient

Forgot had backdoor possibility contact to closest hospital’s inpatient pharmacy for Clobazam.  Said they had in stock but didn’t know of any problems with suppliers.  Going now.  If they run into problems then will just be discharged? Geez had to find info on my own.  Whatever.  Got it anyway. Going to take forever to pack [...]

The Epitome of…

June 6, 2011 in Cranky, Facts About Patient Anonymous, Head Injury, Health, Hospitalizations, Medicine, Meds, Neat Neuro Stuff, Patient Advocacy, Seizures, The Tummy Blues

I don’t even know what to call it.  Ugliness? Or maybe I’ve got the direction wrong.  I’m way at the bottom not the top of things. It’s been a week off the Clobazam/Frisium now.  I can’t believe what’s going on.  What’s happened.  I may have used up all of my words and thoughts for that [...]

I find it’s very interesting that I can type a lot faster when in this state.  Sure, there may be a few typos, but my fingers move like the demons in my head, across the keyboard, nonetheless. Stop. This post is about something.  Not just your typing. Tomorrow is going to be rough.  Two doctors, [...]

This One’s Gotta Go Up. Big Bye-Bye or Break?

The manufacturer of my Clobazam/Frisium is not sending out the drug anywhere until maybe mid-July.  Maybe? I can’t explain it but there’s a political fight for rights of pharmacists or some damn thing. I have enough to carry me to Sunday morning.  Just called Non-Arsey Neuro who is out of the office until Monday.  I [...]

My Packaging May Look Good but Time for a Recall?

Sweetie GP’s right on the job, but she made me feel like more of a wreck than I already thought I was.  Also, kind of like an old woman. *rolls eyes* We went over my recent blood work, some of which I knew.  Ferritin, low.  Hemoglobin, low (although, I’ve never had low readings, there.) I’m [...]

Most people who have been hanging around my blog (and definitely Twitter!) know that I have been talking about finding an apartment, the state of my life in that perspective, how afraid I am regarding where I’m going to live, what the hell is going to happen, just all of it. I must find something [...]

I just got off the phone with my mother.  Yes, the one who I owe great thanks to for at least my Bipolar, and god knows what else.  Ah, I owe her thanks, as well, for being progeny of all the others.  I owe thanks to them as well–for at least my Bipolar and everything [...]
