More On The Surgery

When we were moving to Cincinnati from South Carolina, my children’s pediatrician told me that Cincinnati had one of the top children’s hospitals in the U.S.  Of course, I’m a pessimist, so naturally I think, “Greeeeaaat…God’s probably sending us there because our kids are going to need a good hospital in the near future!”  Well, [...]

Restless Leg Syndrome

Anyone ever suffered from this?  It hit me this weekend and even right now I feel like I need to kick my legs or shake my arms.  I found this website  and it does say pregnant women can suffer from this, as well as people with low iron.  Soooooooooo, maybe I should be taking my [...]

There’s no time for too tired!

Just when I thought I couldn’t go anymore, I was told I had to.  I called the doctor’s office to let them know that Madison is not responding to her inhaler very well.  She freaks out every time it’s time for her treatment.  I asked them if we could switch to a nebulizer because she didn’t [...]

Miscarriage – What To Say, What To Do

My sister called me about two weeks ago to tell me the good news.  She got a positive on her pregnancy test.  That put her due date at August 15th, about 6 weeks after mine.  While part of me was a little jealous that I’d have to share our mom, I was kind of looking forward to [...]

Nausea, bloating, indigestion or abdominal discomfort
Dizziness or unsteadiness
Feeling light-headed
Derealisation (feeling unreal or dreamy)
Fear of losing control or going crazy
Paresthesias (numbness or tingling [...]

Hurts So Good

My back is still bothering me.  I have the biggest knots all over.  Fortunately for me, my mom bought Scott and me this awesome Homedics massaging cushion, and I’ve been using it, and using, it, and using it.  It hurts so bad that it nearly takes my breath away as it rolls over the knots in [...]

There Is No Way

Scott made it in late this morning.  I guess after seeing how miserable I was, he told me he was taking me to the doctor.  So after Joshua got home from kindergarten, we loaded the kids up and he drove me to the Urgent Care Clinic. 
The doctor came in and asked me a series of [...]

About That Psychiatrist…

My super-awesome husband did take Dwight in to see one a few months ago. When he came home and told me how the initial visit went, I didn’t want to send him back. I don’t trust the man. Here’s why:
So, here’s my husband, sitting there with our son, telling the psychiatrist about [...]

Don’t Get Me Wrong

There’s nothing wrong with talking out loud, even if there’s no one else listening! I talk to myself all the time…usually in my head, but sometimes out loud. (Especially when I can’t hear myself think!) And I make up songs…usually for my kids though. That’s always fun.
But it was the yelling and carrying on yesterday [...]

Scheduling Those Dreaded Appointments

I scheduled appointments for Madison to see the pediatric plastic surgeon who specializes in birth marks. She goes in the day after Christmas. Of all the times to have an appointment! But luckily for me, Scott is off for the week and we aren’t traveling anywhere, so he can go with me to her appointment. [...]
