I have 2 Doc appts tomorrow
| Wed, 07-09-2003 - 6:29pm |
I am so over my vein situation in my right leg.One has never totally closed and keeps getting knotty and at work last nite it was throbbing badly-I was limping.The doc is fitting me in late tomorrow afternoon but told me in the meantime to put HOT compresses on it and take 2 aspirin (to thin the blood) every 6 hours..my stomach is on fire and I think the aspirin started my ALWAYS heavy period to come sooner..now its really gonna be bad w/ the aspirin--which I never take due to extreme ERR-menstrual flow. Lord knows what pain he will inflict on me..getting a needle jabbed into your vein (to draw out old blood) hurts like bloody crap. I am cranky. i have my regular Doc. appt earlier to get my anxiety meds filled( ie xanax). I am gonna need them. I was taking Prozac for my PMDD(meaning I have BAD irritability at this special time of the month)but stopped cuz it gives me headaches. I am gonna ask for Wellbutrin, it will help and alsomakes you not want to smoke so much. I have been bad on the smoking--I confess at least 5 a day.Yep, I caved. I have been living with my secret.Well its out..I could blame it on my mom being sick--or having my kids around me along w/ ALL their buddies 24/7.Anyhow..i amresetting my meter--new TOTAL quit--Monday 7/14. I am getting my teeth in office whitened that day--I have had this appt. for awhile.It was to be a reward for NOT smoking. NOW its the reason I have to totally stop..Its not cheap, I wont ruin the job by smoking.Its been tuff-I cant do much at the gym cuz of my leg..I want it all over with...Ok i have vented...FOR NOW!!Please pray my leg heals!!xoxo mel

Here's hoping that your Dr. visit won't be as painful as you think and that you'll be able to take the wellbutrin and it will help with the smoking and other stuff.
Oh hon, sorry about the smoking. There's really nothing/noone we can *blame* when we pick up again except the fact that for that time we smoked, we wanted to smoke more than we didn't want to. It's such a powerful addiction darn it but I have faith you'll do it when you're ready. :)
Will have you in my thoughts and prayers tomorrow that this is your last time on your leg.
God Bless,
~Golly~

Sorry to hear about your legs not healing right hon!
Good that you're going back to doctor tomorrow ..
As for the smoking .. hope you feel better sharing it here with us.
You know no one would ever judge you hon. We only want to help.
Neat on that teeth whitening and setting your quit date again!
All good things come to those who wait .. and it's your turn
We love you hon :)

About your smoking - - you are one strong lady Mel - - I so admire you for Not giving up...You may have slips, but you keep coming right back to your quit. You ARE going to get this quit.
Let us know how the doc visit went.
Take care,
Tracy
On the smoking...good gracious Mel...Like I'm sure others have (or will) say...the fact that you haven't quit quitting is fabulous!!!!! I'm gonna do it on August 4...we can do this!!
Much love, positive thoughts and prayers are headin' your way hon!!
Good Vent Perhaps the expense of the teeth whitening will be an excellent incentive to stay with this quit...I sure hope so!! Anyhoo, I'm VERY proud of you for
keepin' on quittin' quittin'
Try not to stress too much...I hope the Wellbutrin, or Xanax LOL, will help with the boys being home and your Mom, etc.
Good vibes comin' from Vulcan-land (he's back on the mtn!)
