At the Beauty Salon and Wal-Mart Last Friday

I had a wonderful time but was very busy last Friday and Saturday. I am still having a sinus condition that bothering me but I stopped taking sinus medication last Sat and I am about getting better. I feel a pain from that at the top of my right eye and an inside my eyebrow right now. OOOOhhhh! Mother recommended I should sit up and move around so it will clear out when I called her thru a relay service this late afternoon. I did sitting up and moving around and feel better little bit.
Last Friday was very busy. I went to a beauty salon to get a haircut and a temporary color but at that time, I had terrible colds. Mom brought her own bottle of temporary color there so she had discussed it with few hairdressers and then she went to buy a cold & cough medication and bottled water for me. I was waiting for my hairdresser named Patty who was the sister of an old deaf club member of mine. I knew her deaf sister since I joined a deaf club in 2001. I am one of her clients for few years. While Mom went out, Patty showed up late. I was confused about what to do with the color hair. I did instructing it to her myself last year. Mom returned with medication and bottled water later on so she have had to discuss my color hair with Patty. I took 2 pills right away before a hairdresser put a bottle of temporary color onto my hair. I felt better right away when the pain is gone. After Patty had done with my hair, it looks a different little bit but I will get a permanent color soon. After Mom and I left the beauty salon, I stopped by Subway to buy a lunch. I was very hungry. Subway is next to the beauty salon. I ordered an Italian submarine sandwich, a bag of potato chips and Spirite bottle. Yummy! Then Mom wanted to stop by at a thifty shop. I waited in the car and ate my lunch. Then Mom wanted to stop by at the post office for doing Dad's errands on the beachfront in Ormond Beach. Dad can't go out himself cuz he was in much pain due to a surgery last Wednesday. Anyways, we went back to my parents' house afterwards. I stayed there for awhile. Saw Dad in a person. He looks sick in his robe and walked slowly but he's kind of okay. I hugged Dad. Mom ate her own lunch and then had to make phone calls. And then we went out again. Mom dropped me off at Wal-Mart for a grocery that afternoon. 2 hours later, Mom picked me up for taking me back to my place. I am all done. Whew! But I forgot something. I had to ask for exchanging five dollars bill for 1 dollar bill cuz I have to pay a bus fare the next day. OOPS, but Mom did it for me from Winn-Dixie on the way back to my place. Thank God for saving my day!
At Wal-Mart, I bought a new 12 feet garland for decorating onto my computer desk. It's a beautiful and my idea. A bag of chips for Christmas party that my deaf club was having last Sat. And more food. Krazy Glue that I have to fix wood feet of pretty crafted Christmas girl. Those are broken. Pretty crafted Christmas girl was sent to me as a Xmas present by my granduncle and grandaunt several years ago. That's all I have had to buy.
I had a fun at the deaf club Christmas party last Sat night. The food was so good. I will blog about the deaf club Christmas party tomorrow, with a slideshow!
That's it for now.

See ya!

Update on My Health Issues

Last Tuesday predawn after I got up, I had terrible coughs. Those were stopping me from doing my morning exercise. I called my mother thru a relay service after 6 am and asked for a medication. I can't stand coughs anymore! Coughs were next that morning. Ugh. I didn't have time to take Prevacid pill. After 7 am, Dad delivered a liquid medication to me. I did take it immediately. Little better. I took a liquid medication twice that day. I was about feeling better. Yesterday, coughs were about decreasing but still blowing my nose with too many tissues. I guess coughs almost stopped today cuz I drank orange juice that works to heal it.
I was informed by my mom about the disease she found out from my gas doctor yesterday. I was in a shock when I found out this afternoon. It's called H.pylori (<----click this link for an info), an infection in my stomach. A benign. A positive. Mom received a phone call from my gas doctor and other medical team yesterday that they found it in my stomach when they looked at it last week. They took a biopsy from me during the test last week on Tuesday the 20th. I can't believe it. I didn't know that. Mom thinks I had a bad food from Wal-Mart. Yes, it's possible but other food I bought from Wal-Mart is good. Anyways, I received new medications again this afternoon. Those 2 new medications are antibiotic (same that I had before) and anti-infective by my gas doctor. Still having more Prevacid pills. He's good to me. 2 days before Thanksgiving as I was about going to sleep in the surgery room, he was glad to hear from me when I told him I have no more diarrheas. LOL! I am hoping an infection in my stomach will be gone no more in the New Year.

Breakfast At Denny's. Had A Sore Throat and Now Colds. The Guests. Doing Chores.

According to my Blast that I typed this morning, I had unexpected incident that Sat afternoon few hours later since I left the restaurant for breakfast.
I was fine that morning and was ready going out for eating a breakfast at Denny's, next to I-95 highway. Before I left my apt, Mother faxed to inform us that she and the guests at their house were out of Eggo Waffles and eggs and syrup. I laughed at that message again. Mom is so funny. I can't believe they ran out of them. Did Dad buy more maple syrup on the morning of Thanksgiving Day? I don't know if he did it. Anyways, I gave this fax message to Dad when he arrived. Then he phoned Mom. We left my apt afterwards. First stop by at Wal-Mart Neighborhood Store, south of my apt, and then Dad dropped off plastic bag of breakfast items at his house. Afterwards, at Denny's, I ordered Belgian Waffle Platter with 2 sunny-sided eggs and flavored Cappuccino with French Vanilla. Yummy! Felt so good. I ate a halfway. That breakfast looks big but I enjoyed eating it. Next time, I'll order something else that I would like. When I finished eating breakfast, I went home.
That Sat afternoon, I was not feeling well. A sore throat was first started developing. I felt sick again. I thought it's probably coming from the scope that went from my mouth into my stomach inside during the surgery last Tues but I don't know, isn't it possible? Or Joe, my oldest brother, gave it to me, did he have it before? Or at Denny's that have germs everywhere? I don't know which one. The next morning, the sore throat is gone no more. That's good news but my nose is next. Oh, no! A running nose. I kept blowing my nose with too many tissues all day and night! Ugh! Mom came over and brought 2 boxes of Kleenex I asked for. Then she recommended I should take Benadryl-D Allergy & Sinus pill that Joe made a suggestion to Mom. Mom found it in Joe's blue bag. I took it right away. Minutes later, I felt funny when the medication kicked in. Werid. It drove me crazy. This morning when I woke up, I am still having funny feelings. I think I am almost getting better but not recovering from it yet. I can't wait to get better! Hurry up! This afternoon, I have few coughs little bit. I am still taking Vitamin C chewables since yesterday. Those are from a health food store and might help. Hopefully, I will be getting better tomorrow but I don't know. Wait and see it will happen.
Yesterday afternoon, I faxed and told Mom that I feel bad for not seeing the guests, Steve, Katrina, and Aurora, at her house for 2 days. I know Katrina and her family are leaving for returning home in Texas today, this late afternoon. I would like to hold Aurora but no time cuz I have colds. I also asked Mom to tell Katrina I am going to miss her and will send pictures of her family to her in an e-mail soon.
I had to do chores at my apt this morning. Washed the dishes and skillet after breakfast. I took bed sheets and everything off daybed and put them in the trash bag for Mom to wash them. And cleaned the tray table with a wipe. Then I took a break.
That's it for now. SYL

November 21, 2007: Trip to Wal-Mart. Planning to Bake Dinner Rolls.

I went out with my mother this morning. We are doing errands at Wal-Mart in preparing for Thanksgiving Dinner for our guests. Mom wanted to stop by at a health food store first for picking 22 lbs turkey, not 26 lbs (OOPS, Mom made a mistake on how much weight turkey is. LOL!), and other items. And then we were heading for Wal-Mart to do our food shopping. I went ahead to do it myself while Mom is shopping. I noticed shoppers are about getting crowded that morning when I arrived there but not yet. I know that shoppers had to do the last minute to get something if they forgot. I purchased 3 sets of Philbury Crescent Dinner Rolls for tomorrow's dinner. They are very delicious. I love them very much. And other food items. I can't believe what I saw in the cartwheel of Mom's stuff. SO MUCH! She has more food and other things than mine. LOL! Mom paid all of them than mine, u know. Oh, boy! So many Wal-Mart plastic bags in 2 cartwheels when she finished doing her shopping. I was first to finish it at the counter several minutes before her cuz Mom was not done yet. She had to get more stuff. We had to leave right away cuz Joe, my oldest brother, needs a car and has to go to the airport in Orlando to pick up our guests who are flying in from Texas that afternoon. Mom dropped me off at my place. After she left for going home, I discovered one of my own plastic bags is missing. A candy bar and bananas are in it. I think she couldn't see it in the back of her car cuz all of many plastic bags look alike. I guess Mom is confusing. LOL! She screwed them up in her car. I told her she should put a separated group of mine from hers. So I called and faxed my parents about it. Still waiting for my food to be delivered by one of my family members.
I am planning to bake Philbury Crescents Dinner Rolls in an oven tomorrow morning. I will be busy taking care of them myself. I know how to bake them. They are easy to make. It will fun! Then will put them into storage plastic bags and deliver them to my parents' house.

SEE YA!

Entry for November 20, 2007: Went to the Hospital Today

This is Florida Hospital Deland.

I skipped breakfast and a medication this morning cuz they were not allow. I had to leave my place at 7:30 am. My mom picked me up for taking me to the hospital. I brought a printed map from MapQuest that I was working on the night before in case Mom gets lost. We drove to Deland about 30 minutes or so and arrived at the hospital there on time but early. We were waiting in the lobby of outpatient department. I noticed inside there is still remodeling. It's not painting yet. Every wall looks blank. Anyways, we were waiting for someone to call my name until an electric device vibrated me as I was holding it while waiting. We did check in and headed for 2nd floor. We were waiting in the lobby there until my name has been called. The nurse wanted me to change into a hospital gown but kept my socks and knee thing on. Afterwards, I laid on the gurney and waited. While waiting, I felt my right hip is shaking than my left one. Weird. Mom thinks I am nervous. I didn't feel nervous until I got onto the gurney. I was given an I.V. on my left hand. I felt cold so I was given warm blankets by nurses. I was told that an endoscopy will go from my esophagus to my stomach. Hmmm. I imaged that. Anyways, Mom and I talked each other about my hubby Todd personally. Todd was not there to comfort me. He's supposed do that for me. That's his problem but I don't want to give u more details about him this time cuz I am not sure about our marriage but I am still in love with him very much. I blogged about Todd few times last year. Check out his name in Tag Cloud if u wants to but I am not finishing to set it up yet. I have few more other blogs about him. Anyways, it was time for me go to the surgery room at about 11 am. I said goodbye to Mom. In the surgery room, a black female anesthesiologist was put me to sleep. I felt the numb started in my brain and then moved to my body. I fell asleep. During the procedure, I don't feel anything. A pair of my hearing aids were on but I don't understand their conservation cuz I am a deaf. I woke up when it's over. I still feel the numb in my brain and body is about wearing out. Ooooh. A black female anesthesiolgist sent me as I laid on the gurney to the recovery room. As she was sending me, we discussed Thanksgiving Dinner little bit. LOL! I told her we are going to have a 26 lbs turkey and it will be baked for 9 hours. I was told that by my mom last week. Anyways, while I was in the recovery room, I rested and the medication in my body is gone no more. And then I was transferred to another room. A nurse took I.V. off my left hand. While I was getting dressed, I was in a shock when I found out I have 2 polyps inside. A doctor called her on her cell phone and informed her about me. I can't believe it! I wonder how long they stay inside. I couldn't understand. How they got in there? They made me having heartburns for years. Then I finally drank a juice that a nurse gave me. Mom and I left the hospital after 12:30 pm. Thank God, it's over. I was relieved. And then I went home. Mom dropped me off at my place when we returned to Ormond Beach.

The Weekend. Paternal Great-Grandmother. Going to a Hospital Tomorrow.

I didn't have time to do blogging last Fri cuz I was at my parents' house all day until I went home at about 9 pm. The reason I was at my parents' house is that Mother asked my help. She wanted me to polish her paternal grandmother's family heirloom, silverware, in her kitchen sink. I worked hard to polish them all day but I did take a break once. I had a lunch and dinner between a chore there. I watched the DVD movie on a flat plasma TV after my youngest brother, David, moved it to the living room from the bedroom of guests. It stood on the lamp table. It looks big. Mom was very busy doing chores at her house in preparing for visitors' coming. Visitors will be flying in from Texas on Wednesday and stay at their house until Monday. Visitors are Katrina, my niece, her hubby Steve, and her first baby girl who was born in March in this year. Also, she's pregnant again! Anyways, David left when he finished helping Mom. He had a play time with his friends on his day off from work. LOL! About silverware, they look so beautiful. I didn't see them when I was little but until I got older. Mom kept them for a long time since my great-grandmother died in October 1978. Later that afternoon, Mom asked me to arrange her pairs of socks in the drawer. I organized them neatly in it. She screwed them up cuz she can't help them herself . Mom knew I am a very good organizer at them. LOL! I went home that night few hours later after I ate dinner.
I do remember my great-granny little bit. I didn't know her well cuz I was little girl at that time. She always gave me candy balls when we visited her at her house while I was growing up in Pennsylvania. Those were chocolate. Yummy! Great-Granny was at the Catholic Church for my First Holy Commonion with my mother and grandmother. I don't have a photo of us together but we lost it. We don't know what happened to it and where it was. Sorry. I wish I could post it for all of u bloggers. It was perfect. Several months later, Great-Granny died while my mother was pregnant with David and I was recuperated from 2nd of 3 hip surgeries when I was 9 at the same time. I can't walk with a pair of canes at that time until Spring. I miss Great-Granny very much. I will never forget Great-Grandmother.
That Friday night, my right hip was in very much pain. OUCH! Mom thinks I was doing a chore too much in the bathroom in my apt the day before. And at her kitchen sink, too. I was still in a pain the next day, Saturday morning. I decided I stay home all day cuz I needed a rest first. And yesterday my right hip is improved. I felt much better.
I will go to a hospital for test tomorrow morning. I will have to leave my place early. I won't be online all day but will probably be back that afternoon. Also, will not do blogging but I will might be doing it tomorrow night or on Wednesday. I will need a rest first. Wait and see it will happen. I will let u know. Please pray for me, will u? I would be appreciating if u did.
See u tomorrow night or Wednesday.

Doing A Chore In My Apt. Update On My Health Issue

This afternoon, I cleaned up under the bathroom sink in my apt. I finally had time to do it since I've got my energy back on. It was so mess! I had thought about it for awhile. That's why I will may be moving out but I don't know when. Anyways, I tossed some old lotions from hotels that I stayed in on my vacation years ago, old shampoos, and other few things into the trash. Old combs and a rolling brush are going to be giving away to 2 different charities, either Goodwill or Salvation Army. And an old, big yellow mirror, too. The floor inside the bathroom sink looked so dirty! Ugh, awful! I cleaned it up with spraying remover. It works. Much better. Cleaning up inside there kept me busy. I had difficult reaching in there cuz I am disabled but I am careful so I won't be slipping and fell onto the floor if I am home alone. Thanks goodness, I DID NOT fell during a chore! I am okay. I realized I forget my right knee, OOPS, when I felt a pain little bit as I was standing and bending. My right knee has a deformed and disease, u know. I said "ooouch!" and then sat down in the wheelchair. I rested for few seconds and then went back to do it. I straighted personal items out as I was putting them away inside at last cuz I am a very good organizer at it. I am better than my mom. LOL! And then I am DONE!

Update On My Health Issue:
I thought I will have a colonoscopy next Tuesday but it is cancelled cuz I have no diarrheas anymore when I am improving since I took antibiotics last month. However, I still have the one simple procedure, the upper Endoscopy (<----click this link, please). I will go to sleep during the procedure. I am nevrous about it but God, I hope, will send angel to comfort and calm me. I think I can feel them now. Anyways, I didn't know I had a food poison until last week. I can't remember which food is bad. I guess it happened last March but I did figuring out the peanut butter caused poisoning me after Christmas last year. That was before the peanut butter had been recalling, remember that? I did not go to see a doctor that January until late July when I decided I want to see him right away. I thought I got better afterwards but until March .
I have to go to bed pretty soon. Good night, Bloggers

SEE YA!
