Maveric's snow day. lol

(Maveric, Zoie & Abby)

We were supposed to get a big snow this morning. My parents live 30 mins away and my brother lives 45 mins away from me. They all got 6 inches of snow and we got NONE!! We had some flurries this morning but that was all we got.

We are glad it passed us by though. There will be a ton of call ins at the prison tonight and tomorrow so Bill may have to work over in the morning.

I was talking to my mom this morning on the phone. She said Maveric loves the snow. They haven't had this much snow since he was born.

He will be 2 on March 15th. Mom said he would go out and put his nose way down in the snow and then take off running. She said he looked like a little snow plow!! LOL and he had paths all over their big yard. lol

Abby and Zoie hate snow and hate cold so they had to make them go outside but they stayed on the porch shivering until they were let back in.

My mom had to make Maveric go in to warm up and she said 5 mins later he was at the door barking because he wanted back out to play more. LOL

Feb. Update on us..

It's been awhile since I last updated this page. I cannot believe how fast the year is flying by. I
cannot believe it will be March already on Sunday!!! Where has the time gone?? lol

Update on my Grandpa Jack- The body scan showed the cancer hadn't spread in his body. So they started radiation. He has gone for 2 weeks now. They are doing 35 days and it's 45 mins each time. He is very weak and nauseated a lot but that is normal with radiation. He felt the same way a few years ago when he had lung cancer on the other lung and he went through radiation for it then too.

I hope and pray it will shrink and go away like the other cancer did. I also hope he gets his strength back after he is done with Radiation so he can do the stuff he enjoys again. He loves to watch Cooking Shows on tv and try different recipes. Right now he is too weak to cook and I know that bothers him.

As for us. I seen a Neurologist on Feb.3rd. He said I have Post Traumatic Migraines. He said i'll probably have them the rest of my life.

He said I could take seizure medicine, muscle relaxers and naproxen.

I go back in May for a follow up. I haven't been getting migraines as bad this week. I was having them everyday since the wreck but this past week I have only had a few and they haven't been nearly as BAD as they used to be. So maybe things are getting better.

I went to the Ob/Gyn on Feb. 4th for a Cervical biopsy to see if I still had Hyperplasia. I was diagnosed with Severe Hyperplasia last May.

This time the results came back that I only have Simple Hyperplasia. I had my choice of taking Megace- 1 pill a day for 3 months or take Depo-Provera shot once a month for 3 months.

I chose the Depo-Provera shot because I took the Megace last year and it made me VERY sick and I was in a LOT of pain while on it!!

I had my first shot 2 weeks ago. The nurse said do you want it in the butt or arm. I said, " Arm Please!" lol

It didn't hurt and I haven't had any side effects from it. I had a few people tell me NOT to take the shot because they had it once and they gained a lot of weight and they had bad side effects from it. Some even said they got PCOS from it. Well I'm already overweight but I watch what I eat and I exercise and I also already have PCOS. PCOS isn't caused by a shot though!

I'm very glad that I decided on the shot. It was a good decision for me.

My Ob/GYN told me that the Simple Hyperplasia should be cleared up in 3 months and then she will help us conceive. She knows we want a baby badly!

I hope to be a Mother before I'm 30 and I'll be 29 in April!!!

Bill had an appointment with the Orthopedic Surgeon on Feb. 18th. to go over the results of the MRI with dye he had on Feb. 3rd. It turns out he has a Large tear in his Labrum. The type of tear is called a SLAP Lesion. It's a Large SLAP Lesion. He has to have surgey because the Orthopedic Surgeon said it would not get better without it and it would actually get worse. It will be outpatient surgery. The surgery is scheduled for April 9th. He will be home by afternoon. They said they would give him pain medicine for that night, the day after and then after that he probably won't need anything other than Tylenol or Ibuprofen.

He has two weeks of time built up at work so he is going to use it after he has surgery.

Bill had Core Training at work this week. Core Training is training they get once a year. Policy and procedures, First aid/CPR, Defense Tactics, Firearms, etc. He had the training Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. The hours were 8am until 4pm. Then he got off at 4pm yesterday (Thursday) and had to be back at work for his normal shift @ 11:30pm that night.

He was not happy about it! They should have gave him the night off since he was there all day for training.

I also wanted to tell you I read a GREAT book this past week. It's called, "Everyone is Beautiful" by Katherine Center. I highly recommend it!! I got it and read it in one day, it was that good!!

Well that is the latest that is going on with us. I'll update again soon.

Please pray for my Grandpa Jack...

My Grandpa Jack Meyer was diagnosed with Lung Cancer in 2007. He did radiation and ate a ton of tomatoes and the cancer shrunk. He went into remission. He had a full body scan in Oct. 2008 and he was still cancer free.

Well he had been very sick for the last several weeks and wasn't getting any better. He stayed in bed most of the time. So my uncle made him a dr. appt and took him to it on Friday. Well they admitted him to the hospital because they didn't know if it was pneumonia or if his cancer was back. They ran tests and drs. talked to my parents, uncles and to my grandpa today.

It turns out he has lung cancer again but on the other lung this time. It's really big and is pushing on his esophagus, so that is why he has had problems breathing, eating, and swallowing anything. They are going to bring the PET scan in on Tuesday and do a full body scan to see if it has spread anywhere else. Then they will start radiation again. He said he will not do chemotherapy.

Please keep him in your prayers. I'll update you more when I know more.

Thanks so much!
Love you all!

Update on Us...

My chiro told me tuesday that i'm doing really good. I didn't need any adjustments or acupuncture this week. My hips are in place, my legs are even and straight again and my back is falling into place right.

So that is awesome! I go back in 2 weeks to make sure everything is going good.

The Chiro said he really believed those piercings in my ear helped a lot last week.

I'm still having problems with concentration and forgetfulness. I go see a Neurologist on Feb 3rd about it.

Update on Bill..

Bill had an appt with an Orthopedic Surgeon thursday about his left shoulder. He said the only thing that he recommends is surgery. It's the only thing that will fix it.

He goes for an another MRI where they will inject dye this time on Feb.3rd then he has another appt with the Orthopedic Surgeon on Feb 4th and they will schedule the surgery that day. They are doing the MRI with dye so the Dr has a better idea of what is really going on and that way he knows what to expect when he does the surgery.

We looked at surgery dates yesterday and it will probably be on March 12th.

The dr. said he will have to be off at least 2 months if not longer after the surgery. So I am going to have to find a job that way we can pay our bills until he gets to go back to work.

We are going to move to a different place here. This apartment is too loud! The people in the upstairs apartments are young and have friends over all hours day and night and they slam doors and stomp around. The floor/ceiling is very thin and we can hear everything that is said up there.

We pay the most rent in the building and our lease is up on March 1st and the landlord said he plans to raise our rent. It's not worth it. We have been here since March 2008 and I have not slept good once because of the noise level. The landlord takes advantage of us and charges usmore rent because he knows Bill has a good paying job.

The gas bill is killing us too. We just got our electric/gas bill yesterday and it was 240.00!! Only 30.00 of that was electric the rest was gas.We only keep our heat on 65 and we have been using a oil space heater.It never gets warm unless we use the space heater.

Bill has a Neurologist appt next thursday for a follow up on his C7 fracture and neck pain.

Please keep us in your prayers.

2. I LOVE to read!! My favorite is Chick Lit. I also love Bookstores and Libraries. My husband says i'm like a little kid in a candy shop when I go into a Bookstore or Big Library. I have big eyes and am so excited. lol





3. I absolutely LOVE the color Pink!! If it comes in pink i'll take it. lol





4. I am VERY afraid of a lot of things such as (snakes, mice, rats, spiders, cockroaches, all bugs.) I'm also very afraid of the dark and being alone at night. That's because I was scared a lot as a child and teenager. Also someone tried to break into the places I was at 2 times in a year.





5. I'm a huge animal lover especially cats and dogs. I treat my animals as children. I love being around animals and prefer to be around animals over people. lol Even when I go to someone's home, I always go right to their pets. Cats and dogs make me happy, and I just love them. :)




6. My Favorite holiday is Valentines Day. I love all of the pink, red and white things especially things that are heart shaped (as in candles etc.)

7. Besides Book stores my favorite store is Bath & Body. I am addicted to their different pillow mists and all the different Aromatherapy Body Washes and bubble bath.

My Chiropractor appt today...

I had my chiropractor appt this morning. he worked on me for an hour and I had 20 mins of acupuncture. He said my hip is out of place but he isn't sure what side for sure. He has to monitor it to check for a pattern because the first time he seen me it was one side that was out and now its the other side. So I go back next Tuesday and he'll look at it again. He did a lot of other adjustments in my back and neck.

I got 3 piercing from the chiropractor today. They are little metal rods that have a positive charge and it will pull the negative charge out of the nerve points. That will help with my headaches, neck pain and back pain.

They will fall out on their own when they pull out all the negative energy. Anywhere from 1 to 9 days.
