PCOS

I need to talk about PCOS for a minute. Most people think it's simply having cysts on the ovaries.  It's a whole lot more.

Here's what Mayo clinic summarizes it:
The cause of polycystic ovary syndrome isn't well understood, but may involve a combination of genetic and environmental factors.

Symptoms include menstrual irregularity, excess hair growth, acne, and obesity.

Treatments include birth control pills to regularize periods, a medication called metformin to prevent diabetes, statins to control high cholesterol, hormones to increase fertility, and procedures to remove excess hair.

It's not just the missed periods - it's infertility, miscarriages or premature births.
It's not just acne - it's cystic acne on the face, neck, chest and back.
It's not just obesity - it's weight gain primarily in the stomach, with high cholesterol no matter the diet, skin tags or dark skin spots.

So,  before you go judging me on my weight, or my skin, or the fact I can't get pregnant, know that it's not all in my control.

Sounds like life to me

Hubby's work is cracking down on OT. Instead of getting 20 hrs of OT a check. He'll be lucky to get 5. That's gonna hurt a little.  I had planned to pay things off faster, but now we're gonna just have minimum payments...

We have to renew Remy's wellness plan so he can have another surgery. His cancer is back and regrowth has a higher chance of  metastasizing. But, we have to push it back 3 weeks cuz of this OT cutback. This is so we don't have to put some on credit.

I'll make it all work out. I always do when it comes to money. 

Other than this, things are great!

Welcome

I start this blog with the intention of being myself.  There are things I can't post on Facebook.  No matter who I block or let access my feed.

If you stumble across this blog and find yourself wondering "wtf", remember, these are thoughts inside my head. Things I could never say in public.  Some things, maybe, but mostly me just being me.




So, today is recovery day. Last night, hubby & I celebrated being in oregon for 3 years!! We popped the keg open & had a blast! Mom&Robert came by to eat & dinner and watch some football.  Robert drank, but mom doesn't drink beer. Colin came over before Christie got off work. I managed to stay up past Rose getting home! We played some 'cards' with the weed expansion pack. Bryan cut me off after I started getting really tired. He wanted me to stay up and enjoy myself.  It was about 1am that i tapped out & went to bed. I didn't get sick,  but I sleep almost 10 hours. Greasy breakfast is the best for me. Colin, on the other hand, needs a lot more help. He did great though on helping with the keg.

Oh! And we met the new neighbors!  We offered them to come over when they were done moving in. But I got drunk and couldn't wait.  I brought them a pitcher of beer in the event they were too tired. But they came over anyway!! Very nice people and I think it'll be great having them next door. 


We are about to take the dogs to the park.  And then we'll see if I can stomach more keg! Haha Haha!  At least we had fun while it lasted.
