Up until the moment this diary is published I hadn't written a diary or comment in 11 days. (I've kind of been "away.") And I wish I didn't have to write this one now, but I can delay it no more. Or hope that I'm going to be better by next weekend.
Due to my health and the fact that I simply cannot be too far from Boston at this point, I'm going to have to cancel March's New England Kossack Meet Up
I truly wish I didn't have to but if, what seems, weekly trips to the Tufts Medical Center Emergency Department weren't enough. . . I wouldn't be able to enjoy all the good food and the company.
Now I am in pain when I eat and then get so much gas it's not even funny.
Last weekend when my oldest son came for a visit he gave me some Girl Scout Thin Mint cookies.
I ate just one and then found myself burping.
I think nhox42 may have been expecting this. In late January he texted me while I was in the hospital waiting for surgery (he didn't know). And then February texted me again while I was on a gurney in Tuft's ER.
His last text to me that night was "Put down the cell phone." ;-)
I've been back and forth to my doctor, his staff and the ER a few times since then . . . and I may have to repeat the surgery I just had at the end of January.
Yes, in case you are wondering, it has to do with my lady parts and being a DES Daughter. And some of it is just, I think, because I'm weird :-D
For instance, even though I have "iron deficiency anemia" and take an extra supplement, my iron has been low. So now I am on double iron supplements.
I do check in to DKos from time to time. I have misplaced my cell phone, so it makes logging in from my bed or sofa impossible - and I don't have an iPad, or even a lap top. My Kindle has become my constant companion . . . and for a dyslexic (and a slow reader) I am "tearing" through books.
I read three last week alone:
Beyond Belief: My Secret Life Inside Scientology and My Harrowing Escape
by Jenna Miscavige Hill and Lisa Pulitzer
Blown for Good - Behind the Iron Curtain of Scientology
by Marc Headley
Going Clear: Scientology, Hollywood, and the Prison of Belief
by Lawrence Wright
The week before it was the entire Beautiful Creatures series (bought as singles but all on Kindle)
So I am reading what ever strikes my fancy for the week.
I have left directions that if anything major happens, Nurse Kelley and nhox42 will be informed. I don't think it will really be needed, but at this point, while we sort this all out I don't really know.
Yeah, sometimes I've been hitting some low points emotionally.
I'll be here when I feel I can (or if I get an iPad or laptop with wifi ... hint,hint, hint -hubby)
Make sure you get to the Boston Kossack meet up for March 16!
Keep smiling, keep laughing!
