(no subject)

Talked to my mom tonight about issues with my body. She's insisting I call a doctor, which I was considering anyway, but she said even if the symptoms subside by Monday to call anyway. La. Bitched with her about lousy speech evaluation report, which says nothing of suggested CAUSE of Ana's speech problems, just what they are. They all, of course, clearly relate back to the adenoids once I looked at the documents they sent. She is testing in the "normal" range for girls her age. But they're suggesting six months of frequent therapy with no discussion of surgery for adenoids, or that there's even any PROBLEM with adenoids, and how her concentration is affected by her lack of confidence in her expressive language. So, I need to discuss this more in depth with the evaluator. Hell, I don't even know if her insurance would cover the therapy. But what we're both upset about (my mother and I) is that they waited until mid August to send the report from June, when if they had just confirmed on the phone the diagnosis that there was an adenoid problem, I could have scheduled possible surgical removal of this long before the school year. *expletive deleted*

I find it ironic that just when I decide to get back into sewing, and that it's one skill I definitely want to improve upon my sewing machine breaks, and then my grandmother brings over a giant bag of request remnant fabric to use for all my sewing projects I can't complete because something's wrong with the bobbin holder.

Ah well, at least I got a free coupon for a drink at the Safeway Starbucks by my house. I can go get a free green tea frap because I love them so. *squee* Had a fairly good day with Ana, but I was exhausted and in serious pain when we got home, so I enforced nap time after a couple of hours of researching something for a friend.

Researched the pain I'm having and came up with zip, so, we talk to doctor. See what he says. Mom says it's not normal to still be having significant pain around the scar tissue/surgical entry area after five years. ( medical/body rant )

Quick to do list over the next couple of days:

Sunday:
-Wash dishes
-Go out with Ana in morning/early afternoon
-Group Healing 5-8pm
-(Maybe) clean

Monday:
-Get up early!!!
-DSHS visit to get voucher from Sue (before 9am)
-call Doc to set up appointment to discuss abdominal/scar pain
-call Deborah re: evaluation (bitch, bitch, bitch)
-call Adams Elementary and request school supply list
-apply to three jobs
-set aside time to meditate
-paint nails with Ana

Everyday:
WRITE! WRITE! WRITE!

I didn't write this evening. Instead, I researched this issue on google and then called my mother who tends to be a far better medical resource than WebMD (her search engine is far easier to utilize and from which to extrapolate data). When I got off the phone, I located a link for her, and then proceeded to explore that link. In it's entirety. Again (for I'd already listened to all the sound files previously). Sleep now, write tomorrow. Poor Ana, I'm always ignoring her for my computer. *sighs*

EDIT: Perhaps this is the problem? Gallstones can form in the common bile duct years after the gallbladder is removed, though this is uncommon. But I'm an uncommon girl. Let's hope this is not the case, for what could they do if I did continue making stones in my bile duct? Certainly not remove the bile duct, though it might explain some of the strange phantom gallstone related pains I've had in the past since the surgery. Murr. I doubt that's what's wrong. I need to figure out why this happened to me in the first place, what's the root cause of my original gallbladder issues? Why are so many young mothers creating gallstones during pregnancy? According to my visiting post-natal nurse (who was the one who convinced me I should consider talking to a doctor about possible gallstones), over 40% of new mothers are now creating gallstones or having gallbladder issues. Why? There's something not right, and this isn't being published and ... I really need to get off my soapbox and go to bed.
