HPV - Cervical Cancer Vaccine

If you are considering getting or having your daughter get this vaccine, please read this information first. Then, research, research, research. Don't put anything foreign in your body or your child's until you are 100% sure it is worth all the risks.

It isn't for me but I don't have a daughter. I do have a granddaughter and two nieces. You can bet their moms will get this information.

I'm positive that if I go to bed now, I'll fall asleep in minutes.
I'm positive I locked the doors . . . hang on a sec . . . yep.

Good night!

End of a Miserable Day

I had to go to the doctor today. The pain in my right side, front and back, was horrible. I thought maybe I had a kidney infection because it was localized and all the way through. I thought at one point I was going to have to leave work for home. I called and they had me come in at 3 to see the doctor. This was my primary care doctor.

She had seen my MRI and said the same thing the RA doctor said. No obvious problems. She said she thinks this pain is all related to my back and wanted to know what I had been doing. I told her I had been flat of my back except for work for two weeks. Basically that is true. No really heavy lifting or terribly strenuous work. But anyone with a back problem knows all you have to do is roll over wrong. Lifting often has nothing to do with it!

Anyway, here is the gist of our conversation.

"You need to take it easy. Take a couple of days off from work and go home and relax."

I said "It ain't happening. I can't afford to take any days off since my husband just got us over drawn at the bank and wiped out my savings."

Then she said, "You really need to go away from your family for a few day."

I said, "I have no place to go and no money to go on."

She asked, "You have no family where you can visit?"

I said, "My family doesn't live here. My family is mostly all dead since my grandparents raised me. I have a sister in Florida but my mother lives there too. She is not a person you can relax around."

Then she said, "You should try swimming. It is easy on the joints, would be good for your back and help you relax."

I said, "I'll have to look into that." I have no intention of it since it means joining a gym with a pool!! What part did she not understand about the money situation?

So, she gave me a scrip for Darvocet, prescription M&M's. I have one for Darvon from the RA doctor I haven't had filled. Then, she said there was no use going to pain management because I just needed to relax and take it easy. I have sciatica.

Really?

Good thing I have insurance. And they told me I had a $15 credit so didn't have to pay my co-pay. I hate this doctor. That was my LAST visit to her. I'm cancelling my appointment in two weeks.

Blessings and Bites

Becca got a job! Yesterday, she was going to go back to that temp job she had on Wednesday night and she was really dreading it. It made her sick. Apparently the plant was very hot and the work was difficult on her. She was on her feet all night. She was on her way out that afternoon to look for other jobs and she got a call from another temp service. A place she had contacted about possible employment had called them and asked to have her sent out. She went today and loved it. She already has a ride and that was our next major hurdle. They have no car and she has no license if they did. So I was going to have to get her to and from work, 25 minute drive one way. The gas is already killing us all and I was dreading it. She found a woman who lives less than half a mile from her and she will let Becca ride with her. And the woman didn't even want to take any gas money!

I truly believe that your prayers about this situation have been instrumental in this situation. I am so very thankful that God still hears and answers prayers and that there are people who will go to prayer for one another in times of need. If you prayed for us, thank you. If you asked others to pray for us, thank you and please let them know that we believe God had heard and answered those prayers.

My back has hurt all afternoon and I have lain on the couch all evening. The doctor called this morning and I am scheduled to go to a pain management doctor this month on the 28th.

I hate to keep asking for prayer. Seems I've always got a problem. However, lately, my physically situation seems to have worsened. I'm wondering how long I can work like this and know that even if I am in worse pain, I can't stop working. I am so sorry I complain about this so much lately. It isn't me, you know. I've always been healthy and able to do a lot of things. Now, I'm just so tired and I hurt somewhere all the time. It is really depressing and defeating.

I am on my way to bed shortly. I took a muscle relaxant to see if it will help. I am hoping for a better Saturday. I hope you all have a lovely weekend.

Twenty-third Psalm for Work

Psalm 23 (For the Work Place) The Lord is my real boss, and I shall not want. He gives me peace, when chaos is all around me. He gently reminds me to pray and do all things without murmuring and complaining. He reminds me that He is my source and not my job. He restores my sanity every day and guides my decisions that I might honor Him in all that I do. Even though I face absurd amounts of e-mails, system crashes, unrealistic deadlines, budget cutbacks, gossiping co-workers , discriminating supervisors and an aging body that doesn't cooperate every morning, I still will not stop--- for He is with me! His presence, His peace, and His power will see me through. He raises me up, even when they fail to promote me. He claims me as His own, even when the company threatens to let me go. His Faithfulness and love is better than any bonus check. His retirement plan beats any 401k there is! When it's all said and done, I'll be working for Him a whole lot longer and for that, I BLESS HIS NAME!!!!!!
