Health update

I had my consultation today, and oh my Lordy, have things gotten crazy.  Dr. W told me that my mobility is too bad for surgery (she said I'll need to have the old-fashioned, cut-open, gut-me-like-a-fish hysterectomy if I do have surgery), and so now I need to see a neurologist AND do physical therapy.  I also am looking at a possible hormone suppressant med, and that's the last damn thing I want due to blood clots.  Indeed, Dr. W did say there was a risk of me dying if I don't improve my mobility.  Soooo...I may not bother with that medicine.  I don't fancy dying suddenly in front of my loved ones.  Next stop is a neurologist, so congrats to those who voted for that in my last health-related post.  Go get yourself a beer.  I'd pay for it, but...well, you're there and I'm here!  Dr. W also suggested that I go on disability, but I'd rather lie down in front of a street sweeper than do that.

In the meantime...well, I'm sad to admit that I've become a bit more shallow-minded as my medical problems mount.  Here I am, a year and a half shy of forty, and I'm suddenly obsessed with sparkly mascara and funky nail polish, just like I was when I was in high school.  Would that classify as a midlife crisis???  I mean, I'm not strutting down the isles of Wal-Mart (indeed, I can't strut at all) hoping to turn someone's head, but I wouldn't mind sparkling a little more.  Life is short, right?  I just wish Mooncat and Holo Taco nail polishes weren't so damn expensive.  Mooncat donates portions of their sales to shelter cats, so at least it's a good cause.

ANYWAY, that's the story for now.  I'm remaining on hiatus for the time being except for monthly posts (and that last one about my new antique bunch), but if anything new crops up I'll let y'all know.  I'll say too that my friends online and in real life have been wonderfully supportive.  Everyone who knows me through the library has wished me well, and my boss has the patience of a saint.  I still have a job and a home, so things could be worse.  I'm just very tired and frustrated right now.

Cheers,
