I Finally Know Yeah!

I now know for sure when I am moving! WOOHOO!  hehe.  I move this coming Friday!  I’m so excited to get into my nice, new, HEALTHY, apartment

Tomorrow is Family Day in Canada… what’s funny is very few Canadians even remember it let a lone celebrate.  Apparently it’s only a couple years old though.  Any Canadians out there celebrate this?  I don’t think we have…  This year for good old Family Day, my mom, sis, and grams are coming over and we’re moving a bunch of the boxes, and bags of bedding, clothing, etc. over to the apartment.  It will be nice to have stuff that can be put away and set up done, so I don’t have to worry about it after the move.

I made my little list of stuff to get help getting from disability.  I don’t know if it will be accepted, but I sure hope so!  I asked for a bar stool I found, with a back rest, so I can get my legs up, to use for doing dishes in the kitchen, a coat stand bc the only closet is off the bedroom, a couch I found at the Brick, and a reg. light vacuum that comes apart into a hand vacuum to use for furniture, and sucking up gross spiders… the bastards! lol, and a book shelf for in the living room.  I have a big one already, but it doesn’t hold all my stuff between my books and movies!  There’s not a LOT of storage space like I’ve been spoiled to have here, so the less I have to pack away into the one closet, the better!

The dentist went good!  The girl dentist, who normally works at their other office is sooo quicker than my normal dentist!  I really like her personality too!  She tried filling some of my cavities without freezing… and OMG lol it was painful!!!  She ended up having to freeze two for me and the rest I pushed myself through the pain.  With the epinephrine and me being in pain, it shot my adrenalin through the roof!  I felt fine, but I was mad shakey and really dizzy at first.  My mouth was swollen and pained, but nothing too bad!  I could still eat and drink fine afterward.  She agreed with me, when I go back to get the rest done (yes I still have more to go eek! lol damn heart issues) she’s definitely just going to freeze me up like crazy bc that’s better than putting me through that again.

Today I’ve been just working around the apartment packing more stuff, and now am out of boxes when I could be packing more!  I think what I’ll do, is after tomorrow bring the boxes back with me here and just repack what I have left in some of those.  It will be easier to recycle them here anyway bc we don’t have bins and stuff at the new place.

Not much else has been happening bc I’ve been in so much pain.  Ever since I was upped on the Bisoprolol, it feels like my body is trying to cave in on itself.  I think maybe it has affected my Fibromyalgia and the nerve damage in my Crohn’s bc my stomach isn’t being affected except that I’m getting horrible stomach pain like when I first got sick without all the other gross issues lol.  I call it my Freddy Kruger fingers stomach pain lol.  The crazy chest pain I was having is a lot better though.  Even when you know it’s POTS, it’s still scary to have it none the less, and it was lasting for almost 2 weeks!  Freaked me out, but now it’s just little bits of pain every once in a while not none stop

Tuesday, I go in to see the Neurologist.  I’m excited, but not wanting to be too hopeful.  I hear he usually only does studies on potsy’s at MacMaster Uni. so I don’t know if he will do much if anything for me, while I have a Cardiologist.  I’m hoping if anything, he will do more autonomic testing on me… but not too sure.  Will be interesting to see though what all he knows!

Alright, will write soon, but maybe not right away after the appointment with the move coming up.  Will see what kind of time I have in between, otherwise, will write from my new place

Later Gaters!

Ash,

Busy Bee!

My lease for my apartment here is up March 1st, but I was told I can move in any time into the new one.  I said I wanted to wait until the floor in the bathroom was redone.  Would give me time to pack without actually killing myself rushing, and I wouldn’t have to worry about trying to unpack, worry about Zeus getting outside, while  work men were coming in and out of the new place.

My sis came up and helped one evening with books movies, some bedding and clothes that were hard for me to get at with pots, and Susan’s student Aarifa like I mentioned as well, came by for an hour and helped get all the dishes out of the kitchen on the highest shelves, since I’m notorious for passing out in the kitchen it seems like.  I’ve now packed everything else except the clothes, and bathroom stuff, etc. I’m still using until up until the move.

As I’ve been packing, I’ve been cleaning the walls, and shelves, etc. and getting rid of the stuff I’m not bringing with me.  The only thing I hadn’t been doing was the carpet bc yet again I broke a vacuum!  I don’t know how I do this, but I just give it to my mom and she always figures out what’s wrong to fix it.  My red one she gave me that was light weight that broke, she couldn’t figure it out though!  So I had to borrow my grandma’s vacuum until I get out to get a new one.  I was cool with that until I saw the thing!  I a HUGE one and crazy heavy!  It works great, but has taken me three days and help from my mom to be able to vacuum this apartment lol.  I am finally done until everything gets moved out, and then I’ll have to do it again.

The reason I bothered to do it at all, is I am having the rental company tomorrow come here, to do a last inspection before the move.  With Zeus’ hair, and mine now partly falling out, there  was hair everywhere!  The vacuum has one of the big ass canisters you just have to empty… I’ve emptied it twice now and it’s full again lol.  That’s how bad it’s been since Christmas!  But I was just using a carpet sweeper… that yes, I broke too lol so I don’t think it was getting everything up, just what was on the surface.

Today, I went to the dentist for a teeth cleaning, and to get some cavities filled, but they got freaked out about my mitral valve prolapse, so I have to come back for that.  Normally bc I have horrible sensitivity, they freeze my mouth for even the cleaning, but they were freaked out to do that!  So I got a basic cleaning and some whitening done in between me being ready to punch the sweet hygienist for the pain.  And now I have to call the local dental college here, about getting a treatment done with freezing, so they can get in and under the gums bc they’re so inflamed they need two appointments alone to make sure they get done properly and completely!  Ahhh   I asked them what I was doing wrong.  I use special tooth paste for my teeth, I brush daily, I floss, wtf!!!!  So bc I have all these digestive wrecking illnesses, they’re causing the acid reflux problem I mentioned… so that, my medicine that’s supposed to help that makes my mouth dryer, along with other medicine I’m on, so it’s destroying my teeth.  And because my lovely immune system is a piece of crap, the damage isn’t able to heal on its own like my dentist hoped, it’s only making matters worse, causing them to have to do even more work!!!  So I go back in a few weeks to get the cavities and breaking … yes breaking teeth fixed, and then I am going to be getting a hold of the college for 3 more appointments.  Very stressful, bc my dentist warned me that all this work is going to make my teeth in the back even more sensitive, but obviously the work needs to be done, so there’s no way to help that.  At this point, the sensitivity is the least of the problems to worry about.  So long as my teeth are healthy.

Next week, I go to my doctors appointment about my fibromyalgia and sleep clinic study and getting her to fill out some forms for disability to prove that I am sick, and that’s why I’m moving (even though in order to get disability in the first place you obviously have to prove your sick) but whatever!  Lol.

Then the week after that, I go back in to see the Cardiologist.  Obviously the Bisoprolol is STILL not doing it’s job after almost a year.  I think it’s been 9 months now.  So he better switch my beta blocker or I’m going to go absolutely bat shit crazy!… if bat shit can make you crazy! haha.

The just after my next dental appointment, I go in to see the Neurologist!  Hopefully he’ll have some ideas   I’m really hoping he’ll be willing to do some more autonomic testing on me than the cardioloy type stuff I’ve had done to get more answers about my pots.  We shall see.  I’m excited

And yes at some point in between, I’ll be moving lol.  Actually, tomorrow, the student and I are going to compare dates of when it will work.  So I am thinking if it’s good with them, moving a week tomorrow.

I’ll write more next week!

Ash,
