My Health Experience. Trips to Wal-Mart and Library.

I had terrible experienced pains in my stomach.  Pains came back again a week later after my birthday.  Ugh.  That was so unexpected.  I can't figure out what's wrong with me but it took me a month to solve my health condition.  I can't understand why.  I felt uneasy and trapped staying home, u know.  I was so concerned about my private health situation when I went out.  I feared if something inside made me feeling uncomfortable and wanting to the restroom.  I can't stand it anymore.  It supposed to be waited and holding steady until I go home when I finished shopping and the deaf club ended.  I kept telling Mom old pills, Imodium, don't work for me continously.  Those pills were unsuccessful.  Until on Sunday morning in almost late February, I was sick again.  My mother sent Dad to get a medication at Walgreen's for me.  The new package that Dad bought called Imodium, a mult-symptom relief like a relief of diarrhea plus:  Gas, cramps, and pressure, and bloating.  Yes, I figured out I have experienced like them.  Hmmm.  They are something else.  I didn't know I have gases that pained me so much for a month.  My goodness.  Why should I have known about it?  I was confused.  They worked successfully.  After that, I felt so relieving immediately and started to eat food when I feel I am so hungry.  Wow.  LOL!  No more pains since last late month ago.  I feel great and my energy is back on track.  I kept busy little bit, not much.  I went out sometimes socially.  No problem.

March 6, 2009:  Trip to Wal-Mart

I went to Wal-Mart that Friday morning.  I decided to buy my own new hair dryer cuz the switch in my old one is broken.  I discovered it last month when I turned it on after taking a shower one day.  I used it for a long time.  I had no problem with it until the switch broke.  I was looking for better price, no more than 15 dollars, and picked out the purple dryer from the shelf.  It looks a new to me.  I like it.  I didn't want my mother to find out about my old hair dryer cuz she would have loaning it to me from her room or Joe's room as if Mom is cheap.  I knew she would and I kept it a secret from Mom for almost a month.  Then I had a breakfast at McDonald's there.  Afterwards, I went to do shopping for food.  I went home when I finished it.

March 21, 2009:  Trip to Library

I went to the library in Ormond Beach after I had a breakfast at home that morning.  I returned 2 of 5 Entertainment Weekly magazines after I finished reading them.  I borrowed 5 DVD movies and a book from there.  After visiting the library, I went outside to enjoy the weather for awhile but the weather looked breezy and partly cloudy but nice.  LOL, my hair was blowing all over my face as I was looking at Halifax River, across the street from the library and the city hall.  And then I went home.  But later that evening, I realized I have a problem in my library record online when I discovered there's no list of 3 Entertainment Weekly magazine issuses.  I thought I still have a list in there.  I sent an email about it to the library right away.  The next day, on Sunday, I decided to go back to the library again to have someone fixing my problem.  Before I left my home, I had prepared writing down the problem with my library record online in the note pad and put it in my bag after I finished it cuz I knew the librarian would be misunderstanding what I say as if I am trying to inform her clearly.  I gave the note to a librarian about it when I arrived there that afternoon after it opened.  She did solving my problem successfully.  Whew!  I am relieved.  Then I returned 4 DVD movies.  I finished watching them the night.  After I had a business with the librarian, I borrowed 4 DVD movies and 2 Harry Potter books, year 1 and year 2.  I went home when I am done visiting.  I had a fun there.

Trip to Wal-Mart Last Sat. Visited A Doctor and A hearing Aid Specialist Yesterday.

I was supposed to do blogging yesterday but I didn't have time cuz I had an appt with a doctor that Tuesday afternoon and was tired little bit last night.

Last Sat I went to Wal-Mart for doing a grocery at around lunchtime.  I had to eat lunch first at McDonald's.  This gave me a break from making a lunch at home.  I did not going out to eat much last week until that Sat.  Finally.  I ordered McChicken sandwich and small drink of Spirite.  That's it.  I felt better.  Afterwards, I went to do a food shopping.

I had an appt with a black doctor yesterday afternoon.  My black doctor is happy to find out about the results of my health.  It's changed since the last time.  The last time I visited him at his office in Daytona Beach, I was not feeling well.  The temperture in my body stayed 100 degrees.  It would may be coming back to climb again.   I was concerned.  My lower abdomen acted stirring up and was in a pain little bit.  I do recall I felt the muscle inside in there pulled as the black nurse lifted me back into my wheelchair after the doctor examed me on the bed.  I said, "Ouch!" as the muscle being pulled.  But right now, no more pain.  Thank God.   I would may be needing a medication in case the spasm comes back again but not this time.

After visiting a doctor, I went to see a hearing aid specialist about my left hearing aid cuz my left ear was in a pain.  My hearing aid had been repaired.  It need a stretch but not too long.  My left ear is much better and comfortable since I put my hearing aid back on yesterday.  And then I went home.

I have to stop typing this blog cuz I have to go to do my makeup and get dressed for going out tonight.  I will tell u about it later.

The Medication. The Death of My Grandaunt Ann.

The weather in Florida looks nice and warm.  It's sunny with partly cloudy this afternoon.

About my medication, I've decided stopping take it anymore last Sunday cuz my throat would go dry.  I guess maybe that's why I got sick 2 weeks ago.  But 2 days later, I felt my lower abdomen acting up little bit again.  This could be led to a spasm.  So I went back to take a medication again.  One time is enough for a day.  I received a new tall, white bottle that my mother bought from a health food store.  It's a vitamin juice.  It tastes like a carrot.  It works.  I feel great.  Pretty soon, I will have an appt with a black doctor, not the white one I saw 2 months ago, who prescribed a green liquid for a spasm.

I lost another relative 2 months later after the death of Uncle Richard in this year.  I just found out Grandaunt Ann who lives in Pennsylvania passed away on Sept 8th.  I didn't find out about her until a week later.  I can't believe it.  I miss her.  Grandaunt Ann is my mother's aunt, my deceased grandfather's sister, and a grandmother of woman named Jennifer with Cerebral Palsy but she's hearing.  Grandaunt Ann took care of Jennifer since her parents were killed in a small plane crash in 1978.  Jennifer also have a disabled brother named Jim but the other brother, a little one, was a normal.  The little one was killed along with his parents at the same time, too.  Grandaunt Ann raised Jennifer very well.  She was very busy caregiver until I learned Ann had health problems that I was told by my mother after Ann died.  Ann had a high blood pressure and swollen legs.  I figured her swollen legs are the result of taking care of Jennifer for many years.  It's possible.  I do recall one late winter several years ago (at that time, I was a single and living with my parents), Aunt Ann, her hubby Cleo, and Jennifer came down to visit us on their vacation.  Cleo drove a huge trailer that I've ever saw outside my parents' house.  Inside the huge trailer looked clean and pretty.  Wow!  I will never forget their visit.  Another recall I do have is that I visited Ann's huge house with my then fiance in the summer of 1997.  Wow, it's very pretty big.  Jennifer has an elevated chair at the stairs inside the house.  I think Cleo built it for his family.  Anyways, I was concerned about Jennifer if she would be sent to a nursing home but I was told the other grandmother is taking over Ann's place.  I hope Jennifer is alright.  I have a picture of Jennifer in my photo album but not this time.  I am not ready.  Next time I will post it.

My Health. Mom and Joe's Church Trip.

I finally have time to do blogging this.  Sorry, I haven't written it for 4 weeks cuz I wasn't feeling well due to a digestive system that is about shut down.  I've tried to do blogging few times but my digestive system interrupted me.  I felt very uncomfortable inside.  I can't stand it anymore. 

About 2 weeks ago on Thursday October 9th, I became terrible sick when I came home from a trip to Wal-Mart.  It was awful.  My stomach stirred up again.  I felt fine that morning but not that afternoon.   I have problems with my digestive systems for months since last February.  It had been going on forever.  I didn't eat much.  I feel skinny.  My mother and brother Joe said I should be moving around and walking but they are wrong.  I kept telling them that.  We had a disagreement about it.  I knew there's something wrong with me.  On Monday October 13th, I had a fever.  102 degrees.  My God!  I felt cold.  I rested in bed all afternoon and night.  The next day, I went to see a doctor.  At the doctor's office, I just found out my blood pressure is lower and my lower addomen has a spasm.  I can't believe those when I found out.  Mother said I might have a mild case of shingles.  I can't tell u where they are.  I do know where shingles are in on.  I am on a medication now.  Since I received 2 different medications last week, I am getting improved.  I am surprised to notice that.  The green liquid, my medication, works in my digestive system successfully.  That is using for a spasm.  The green liquid tastes like a rosemary or mint.  I did eat plenty of food but not too much.  Anyways, I am still waiting to hear from the lab about the result of my blood test.

Mom and Joe are back home now from a trip to Phoenix, AZ.  They came home last night.  Mom and Joe flew to Phoenix for a church trip last Thursday morning.  I am glad to see them again.  While Mom and Joe, I did washing and drying dishes myself.  I kept the kitchen a clean.  On the night of Mom and Joe's returning, we had eaten a pizza together.  David, my other brother, ordered 2 boxes of pizza.  However, I already ate supper one hour or so before but I have had no idea David ordered 2 boxes of pizza.  I ate one thin slice of pizza.  That's all I had cuz I don't want to eat too much.  Pizza is sooooo good!  YUMMY!  Thanks to David!

An Appointment With Some Radiologists At The Hospital.

Went to the hospital for having an X-ray this early morning.  My mother drove me there.  It's nearby in my hometown.  5 minutes to get there.  I had on time.  I waited in the lobby of lab/radiology department until a radiologist called my name.  First, a radiologist wanted to ask me personally like my last name and birth date then she put me up on the table for taking a picture of my chest and bowel.  Afterwards, another radiologist/student, a male who looks like a Spanish, wanted me to drink the first of 2 special liquids right away.  But it tastes yucky!  I drank slowly, sip by sip.  It took me to drink for almost an hour cuz I drank too slow and felt my tongue uncomfortable.  Then the 2nd one repeatly.  Ugh!  At about almost done, I went back to do more picture of my chest bowel so the male radiologist/student wanted to make sure an X-ray picture looks good.  As I was figured out what the radiologist is doing, he noticed my intestines are not full completely yet but I think it looks about halfway.  I saw an X-ray picture of my chest and bowel on the computer.  And the mental screws inside both of my hip bones that I had a surgery when I was kid, too.  It's a long story.  Whoa, I could see white spots included my stomach inside my belly clearly.  I noticed the white liquid flowing downward from my stomach as it travels to my bowel.  Then the other female radiologist wanted me to drink the 3rd one.  I thought I finished drinking the last 2nd one.  I felt I am tired of drinking a weird liquid and I nearly vomited but it was just small.  Then she went to talk with my gas doctor on the phone.  Finally, that female radiologist wanted me to go to another X-ray room.  I stopped drinking halfway.  Thank God.  I hate it!  In another X-ray room, it looks different.  I saw a video of my chest and bowel in the computer.  It was an amazing by what I saw.  I could see my bowel is moving inside.  Wow!  But it looks weird.  I have never seen like that before.  The female radiologist put a thing on my belly and was looking at where the small bowel is located on the video.  She made a black circle on that spot where I have a problem with.  Also, I could see a mental nail inside my right hip bone.  At last, I am done with X-ray pictures.  Whew!  I went home afterwards.  I had to eat late breakfast right away.  I was relieved as I was eating 2 croissants and drinking my favorite coffee.  I am still drinking water to get rid of white liquid.

Trip to Wal-Mart. Updates On My Stomach.

I didn't do blogging yesterday cuz I was busy working on a photo album for many pictures of my deaf club, GDBAD and had written on the back of each photo all afternoon.  Then I organized those GDBAD photos altogether.  But I am not finished yet.
Yesterday morning, I went to Wal-Mart.  I was feeling good.  I had a breakfast at McDonald's there.  Afterwards, I continued to do shopping.  I bought a photo album for pictures of my deaf club, GDBAD.  Finally.  And few more personal items.  Then I went home.

Updates On My Stomach
Do u remember I told u I went to the hospital for having a blood test a week ago?  I was informed by my mother thru VRS (Video Relay Service) that there's something little bit in my blood when I called her earlier tonight about our tomorrow plans.  A nurse called my mother today about it.  Possible an inflammation.  That's why I was in a terrible pain after Valentine's Day.  Tomorrow early morning, I am going back to the hospital again for having an X-ray picture on my small bowel that's where I have a problem with now.  I was told that I will drink kind of milk before an X-ray.  I will not eat breakfast until after X-ray is done.  Next Thursday afternoon, I will have an appt with my gas doctor.  I am thinking I need an interpreter so I will contact DHHS (Deaf and Hard of Hearing Service) after I talk to Mom about it, u know.

My Health.

I wasn't feeling well last Friday night.  I thought my recovery is on the way but I was wrong.  That Friday night, I felt uncomfortable.  I lost my appetite again.  But no pains.  My stomach stirred up by taking too much pills.  I figured out.  I can't stand them anymore.  So I've decided stopping take pills from health food store last Saturday morning.  I am tired of taking them everyday.  I am sick of them.  I kept running to the bathroom 3 times in the middle of night.  I was exhausted.  I was supposed going to the beach that Saturday and would have a lunch there cuz the weather turned out warmer as I was finding out about a day before but I cancelled it.  I felt trapping inside my apt.  I haven't been going out much due to an illness.  I feel my illness is taken me away from my social life and traveling the world.  My God!  I don't want to give them up forever.  Also, my hubby made me sick if he's still not communicating with me much.  If he's still not, he's going to be in a big trouble.

I had a disagreement with my mother about my health.  She doesn't understand.  I told her I want to see a doctor right away but she said doctor couldn't find anything inside.  When Mom came over to see me for a visit that late Sat afternoon, she informed me her mother had problems with acid reflex and the salad made her sick.  I have no idea.  Is this some kind of gene pool?  I don't know.  But my grandmother passed away in Spring of 1995, 2 weeks after Easter.  God Bless her.  So I've decided I am stopped eating salad for awhile.  I love it very much.

Updates On My Belly

About my stomach, it's improving slowly. Still no pains. I am getting my appetite and energy back. I am glad that. I almost ate all of food. Thanks to pills from health food store. I am still taking them everyday. I figured it took me in a month to get better. Hopefully, I will go to the beach tomorrow when the temperature hits 87 degrees and swimming in May or June. But first I have to buy a new bathing suit at the mall cuz I ended up sizing 4-6 quickly, not almost size 12 anymore. I might go to the mall next month before anyone can grab a perfect bathing suit. Not at Wal-Mart cuz I had a difficult time to find the right bathing suit there. JCPenney is better. Or Sears. Or Beall's in Ormond Beach. Wish me luck.

City Island Library. Updates On My Stomach.

This is a Daytona Beach Regional Library, known as The City Island Library. It looks huge, huh?


I went to the library on the City Island in Daytona Beach with my mother yesterday afternoon. The library looks huge than Ormond Beach Public Library. It's called Daytona Beach Regional Library. I rarely went to the City Island library much until I returned there for the first time. I can't remember when the last time I went there. Next to that huge library is the park. South of it is the baseball stadium where famous black baseball player named Jackie Robinson trained in 1946. The name of baseball stadium is The Jackie Robinson Ballpark after him. East of the library is Halifax River. Back to the library, I stayed there for few hours. I've borrowed 5 DVD movies from there. My mother was doing a research to find old articles that she wrote in mircofilm. She used to be a columnist for Daytona Beach News-Journal for few years. Her old articles were dated back in 1990. Mom was having a hard time to figure out how to use a microfilm. She must have forgotten about it. I noticed her neck hurts. It's probably her age. She sat there for a long time. When I went to the reading area, I noticed there are some strange men sitting at the table. I could hear they talk loud but don't understand what they are discussing. I can tell that those strange men are homeless. I saw some homeless people wandering around the City Island when I arrived at the library earlier. They stay in that area near The Salvation Army. The Salvation Army is located north of the library and near the bridge and where so many homeless people stay. Some homeless people come to the library for reading newspapers and magazines. Not at the Ormond Beach Public Library much. It's a different area cuz we are on the level of middle income. Back to the reading area, those homeless guys stay there for several hours. I avoided them and read the magazine, "The Entertainment Weekly" at the other table far from their table. In the part of Entertainment Weekly, I was reading about the upcoming movie, "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull". It's very interesting to find out. But I am not finished reading to 2 of 4 steps in that section when Mom said it's time to go home. She looked tired. I was concerning about her. Mom missed lunch. She didn't have time. She's feeling dizzy. I did eat lunch before I left home. And then I went home.

Updates On My Stomach
My stomach is improving but still working in a progress by taking pills everyday. I sent Mom to get 2 bottles at a health food store for me last Saturday. I don't feel tired anymore. That's good news. Also, still no pains but about decreasing. I went back to do exericses.

Updates On My Stomach

Pains in my belly are gone no more since yesterday. That's good news but not yet, pills I am still taking are too slow to heal me. I am waiting for going back to a normal again but I also don't want to feel trapping here at my apt too long, u know. I really want to go out for fun. I am trying to eat a huge food but the thing prevents me from it. I am concerning about my weight. I want a hurry up to get better. I've decided to stop doing exercises for awhile until I get back to normal again. Wish me well.

Have a good weekend!

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

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!

Visited A Doctor In Deland

The weather in Florida turned out a cool this early morning, about 65 degrees. It's a sunny and 85 degrees.
This morning, I went to see a new, different doctor, at his office in Deland with my parents. He's a gastroenterologist. We drove and stayed on International Speedway Blvd eastward of Daytona Beach, almost one hour. I saw a crowd of patients in the lobby were waiting when we arrived there. The doctor's office is located next to a hospital. I went outside and waited for my turn when my name is being called. The reason I went outside is that AC is bothered me little bit. I went back inside with my Dad when my name is being called. I checked in how much weight I have before I entered the exam room with my mother. We waited for a doctor come in. Doctor did come in. He was nice and friendly to us. We were discussed my belly problems. At the end of our discussion, the doctor suggests I will be sent to the hospital for a test next month, right before Thanksgiving. Yes, I am going back to the hospital again since when I was 12 1/2, that's when the last time for a hip surgery. The doctor said I will take a colonoscopy and possible polypectomy. Hoping it will not be a cancer. I am scared. Maybe this could be a link from my deceased aunt, Debbie, who died at age 6 of leukemia but I don't know. Debbie was the sister of my mother. Debbie passed away in Fall 1963, a month before President Kennedy was killed. Oh, boy, I will be feeling nervous when I took this breaking news from my doctor but my mother said I will be sleeping during surgery. She did take a colonoscopy years ago but Mom looks very healthy. When we left the exam room, I informed Dad that I am going to the hospital as he was opening the door for us. And then we went home.
Anyways, I do remember Kate Couric, former TV morning news host on TODAY, discussed it alot since her husband died. I am confessing I don't want to hear what Kate is talking about colonoscopy cuz she sent a scary message to us as being viewers. She warned us about it. I was tired of hearing that.
I am getting better this time. My medications are working. I got another new one called Prevacid few nights ago when Mother came over and brought it to me. I gave up a medication called prochlorperazine for nausea few days ago cuz it's a bad and dangerous. I can't control my body. I also can't do a computer stuff. That's why I can't do blogging in my Yahoo page. It also made me sleepy.
That's it for now.

Sick Kitty

Hello!
I am back to do blogging this time cuz I feel much better but trying to recover from a stupid medication I've experienced yesterday. I didn't blogging for a week cuz I was not feeling well due to belly problems.
Last Friday afternoon, I did go to Wal-Mart to get food and other non-food items. I was okay at that time.
I went to ER at the hosptial last late Sunday afternoon. I can't stand being illness. I stayed there for 4 hours. A female nurse and a male doctor were nice to me. They discovered how sick I was. I had a fever little bit. What? I didn't know that. That's what the male nurse told me about 20 minutes later after I arrived at the ER with my mother. A doctor disnosed me hypokalemia, which is a condition of a low level of potassium in the blood. I vomitted once while I was in the exam room. And a stomach flu. I drank a special juice that tastes bitter. Yuck! And then the hospital discharged me from there that night. Shoot, I already missed watching "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" on ABC at 8 pm. I left the hospital at about 9:20 pm.
I did try to watch a video of last Sunday's Extreme Makeover: Home Edition espiode with a different last name of family when I went their website yesterday but unsuccessful. I will try it again.
Will be back later. Bye.
