First of all, let's start by saying, glad I am not a celebrity!! Bad week for them, first Ed McMahon, then Farrah Fawcett, then Michael Jackson, and now Billy Mays! Ed was a given, he's lived a long life. Farrah, expected as well considering she has been battling cancer openly for 2 years. Michael Jackson, that one was a surprise! Now it's just a matter of ~ are you going to remember him as the musical icon and genius that he was or are you going to remember him as the pedophile that saw nothing wrong with hanging a baby over a balcony railing. In my opinion, MJ died a long time ago. His oddities had overtaken any semblance of a life worth living. RIP Black Michael. White Michael, don't know that you will be missed. It's too bad you got freaky on us! Billy Mays will be missed. Now who will I buy my as seen on TV junk from?? Am I supposed to start watching the Sham Wow guy?? Mr. Hooker beater himself? Guess he found out the hard way that you are never supposed to kiss a hooker on the mouth ~ didn't he see Pretty Woman??? OK, enough on all of that jazz.....
It's been a long couple of days. I had to stop working out. I woke up one morning and my ankle was swollen and hurt. That was 2 weeks ago. After a week of trying to just push thru it and try to just take it easy on it, I decided to suck it up and go to the doctor. This is how it went on Thursday:
First order of business there was answering the question, no, I don't recall any injuries. OK, well, let's get some xrays done. Do you spend anytime in wooded areas? I say, no but if you are thinking Lyme's, my husband is a landscaper and has brought home his fair share of ticks already, none that I have had on me though. No, I haven't noticed any rashes. OK, let's get some blood work done to rule it out. While we are at it, why don't we do a Rheumatoid Arthritis test to rule that out as well.
Got them all done and had to wait until Monday for any results. Call and the xrays came back normal. Great! Lyme's test came back negative. Even better!! Haven't gotten RA test back yet. Today I get a call at work from the Dr. RA test came back positive. Oh, fantastic :||read sarcasm||:
Well, apparently just because the test came back positive, that doesn't mean that I actually have RA, just that I am predisposed to it. I have to go see a rheumatologist and have some more testing done now. They can't see me until August 7th!! Apparently a lot of people have RA?? I have been doing some research online and am not liking what I am reading. Doesn't sound all that promising for me.
Other than that, not much else going on. We went to a wedding on Saturday for John and Mayumi. One of Connor's teachers from daycare babysat for us. I think Connor has his first crush. It's so funny to watch! She said that Connor was a perfect angel, with the exception of he peed on her foot!! If she was gonna get peed on, I really would have thought that it would have been from Chance!! :) Speaking of him, apparently he was pretty cranky that night. Well, I found out why. He didn't have that tooth in his mouth when we left on Saturday but it was sure there on Sunday when he woke up!!! :) He got his first taste of rice cereal on Sunday too. I couldn't shovel it in fast enough!! He was tearing that up, I didn't even have to wipe his face off after he was done, he didn't waste ANY! He's been sleeping thru the night for the last month and he's been sleeping in his own bedroom as well! Mommy and daddy have their room back to themselves!! Connor has been acting out quite a bit lately. I think that the fight for attention has begun, and he knows that he is going to get attention (albeit the negative kind...) when he does something he isn't supposed to. He did have a good day today though. They had a Happy Birthday America party at daycare and they had a moon bounce and a giant water slide and a picnic lunch and all and he LOVED it!!
Connor is SO excited to go to MN in a couple weeks! He keeps saying how he is going on the big jet plane with daddy and Clay and we are going to see Angie and Hannah (and Hannah is his girlfriend) and Grandma & Grandpa, and Tate and Kyler, and Kody, and Missie Missie, and the puppies, and blah blah blah (he just keeps going and going!! You'd think he got his knack for talking from me or something....)
Well, I am going to call it a night now, it's gotten to be a long post, at least for one of my posts! I am getting a little better at updating it now though! Hopefully I can keep it up! Now, I must get back to watching Deadliest Catch......
