Gingerbread Houses

We did some ginger bread houses tonight. I'm so bad at getting the houses to actually stay together. Next year I'm buying the ones out together from Costco, that you just decorate!! Decorating them is super fun, but even more fun when decorating them didn't make the house collapse! 

I mean we still had a good time, but there were some stressful moments!! Ginger bread houses are like sugar cookies. You get so excited to do them, and somehow forget about how much of a disaster the last time you tried was!! We'll still keep making sugar cookies and ginger bread houses though... I'm just going to make it much easier on ourselves next year! Buy the pre built houses at Costco right after Halloween, before they sell out!! Happy Holiday guys! I whine, and I wasn't the only one (at least not in my head haha)! But we had fun and laughed while we whined, and that's what matters!

Health update, a big one

There is fluid buildup in my abdomen putting pressure on my lung. All the weight I've been gaining since the first of the year was fluid buildup. The pulmonologist is doing more tests still, but they put me on lasix for the fluid buildup, and I've got a cardiology appt on the books.  Before all this, we planned a cruise with the in-laws for potato harvest break, and my PCP Dr Jones told us to go and have fun. I will have my oxygen, and we ordered a power scooter like the electric ones at grocery stores to use on the cruise! Haha that just made me think of wall-e! I hope they have holographic ordering figured out!  So we’re gonna go have a blast and deal with the other stuff when we get back!

Tidbits from today

5/15/15 Today I asked Gratton to tell me 3 things he was thankful for. He said, "his hat, his diamond sword and his sack boy (a toy I made him)." Kahlan said I love you tonight for the first time! She kept saying, "mom" and when I said what, she'd day "I love you". She did it over and over. I love her. Kahlan and I played dolls tonight. She wanted to wrap them up and put them to bed. She had me get her pillow out of her bed, and she laid them on the pillow and tucked them in with her purple blanket. Then she would say, "go to sleep". We watched interstellar with Jonny for his last night here. Gratton Watched it with us but Jonny fell asleep haha. It was a good movie, and today was a good day. I had awful back pain today and blood in my urine again. That's actually good though, because today was the day of my ct scan. And it needs to be done while there's blood in my urine, or it's worthless. Because to confirm Dr Rahims diagn

Part 2 July 10,2022

Health update part 2 So now with the history, labs and 2 weeks of the continuous blood sugar monitor results, my specialist in Utah who is a nurse practitioner who also has her PhD in nutrition, and was a diabetes educator before opening her clinic (basically crazy credentials), she is pretty positive I've got an insulinoma.  So she and my dmba nurse case manager have been doing everything they could, speaking to each other, making tons of calls, to get me in as soon as possible with the right specialist.  Thursday morning- about the time I'm falling down the stairs, the above mentioned nurse case manager Jill, emailed me and told me that I can't go on vacation because my health problems are too dangerous to go anywhere without a pancreas workup for that insulinoma. I didn't fully read and understand the email till Friday at like 430. I tried calling the specialist recommended but they weren't open Fri.  So I emailed my nurse case manager and told her I'll rest
