Halloween Party 200915:13 Oct 31 2009
Times Read: 884
We had a little halloween party for the kids in my family here last night, my family members and Rat and Birdy came over to join us. We had a great time even if it was very noisy!
Adam found it all a bit too much and opted out early staying in the rooms next door to where we all were just peeking in on us every now and again but he didn't completely loose it either so yipee.
The coffin was made and looked pretty good in the end, we all ate some great stuff, thanks Rat for the hot wings and Birdy for the ranch dip :)
We told scary stories and did a story round too each adding onto the other's lead which was fun but very strange after the kids got ahold of it. We did a bit of apple bobbing and Rat was a big success at it! Birdy and I not quite as smooth but Birdy beat me all to heck, stick my nose down in the water and like all cats I'm jerking away. lol
I'll post pictures as soon as I can get them edited.
Counting those chickens19:58 Oct 29 2009

Life really likes to teach us lessons, doesn't it?
I was so sure the problem with my throat was the part of my thyroid left in because the insurance company refused to let them remove the whole thing during the surgery even though it had growths on it too! Then life decides to knock me for a loop!
Seems it's not my thyroid at all though it does still have growths they are not the choking problem this time. The barium swallow xray came back abnormal showing a tumor on my esophagus. Bunch more tests now scheduled to try and determine if it's cancer or something I can just live with... it causes a partial blockage but I can deal with that rather than finding a thoracic surgeon (my regular surgeon doesn't crack chests) and having such extreme surgery. I just hope I get the choice.
My gran used to say never count your chickens before they hatch and I sure forgot that lesson. I was happy that at least this time I'd know what to expect and that there was no cancer concerns... yeah right.
A friend pointed out to me that while I never have and don't smoke I spent most of my life and career in small confines with heavy smokers. And they say 2nd hand smoke doesn't hurt you!
Part of me wants to be scared but a bigger part just wants to be ticked off and refuse to worry about it at this point. Seems like every time things start going good for me something else happens lately. I've not told much of my family at this point, I don't want a lot of boo hoo and more of the "are you right with god?" calls or visits. I'm not nuts, I've already had 2 of those and luckily my sister intervened saying "she chooses to worship in her own way and hates organized religion!" Sweet of her when she really gets into church herself.

This is me getting some stuff off my mind about recent developments in my life and health so it's not interesting to anyone else, just my record of things to look back on as I do with older entries now. Over 3 years on here and it's fun to look back and see where my life and mind where sometimes.
A few weeks ago I showed my general practitioner doctor some spots on my finger and thumb that didn't look like my normal freckles. He said they needed to be took off and was willing to do it but I decided to go back to see the surgeon I had used in the past. I showed him and instead of cutting or freezing he gave me a cream that will cause the skin to blister up then peel them right off. Yipee no cutting on my hand!
Then he asked me about my thyroid and how it was doing, I admitted I have had some choking problems and he felt of the half still there and looks like it may now have growths on it so I'm going for a cat scan tomorrow and then a barium swallow x-ray next week.
I've done both tests before so know what to expect one's uncomfortable and the other means I'll have to fight not to hurl. lol Oh joy joy but hopefully they'll show that it's still small enough not to need to come out.
Yes I wanted the whole thing removed 2 years ago when I had the first surgery but my insurance company refused saying the growths on it were not large enough while the left side had one 3cm alone. Yes I choked up on a drink of water frequently. lol
At least this time there's no tests coming back saying it's cancer! So even if it does have to come out I know what to expect and won't be afraid of chemo and scary stuff like that.

All the ammunition I make available and this is the best you can do? lol Ah sugar that's just lame... A physical comment of I'm fat! If you're trying to hit me where it hurts that sure ain't it.
*I've known that since I was a teenager* It ain't no secret.

I'm not quite sure what's going on with me, I've got this weird popping feeling in my left ear and I'm having dizzy spells just sitting still. Like everyone else in my area, my sinus are killing me but then when you live around here it's just common. I got over the cold I had 2 weeks ago but now this just won't go away. Luckily I have a regular scheduled visit to my doctor this evening but in the meantime it's giving me an awful headache. :(

Is it just me or does there seem to be something in the water to cause folks to act so hateful lately? People that usually are easy to get along with are jumping at the least possible provocation into full blown fight mode. It's as if everyone's nerves were about to break.
Whether you believe in religion or not, the old words of "treat others as you would like to be treated" still make the world work best. Try it and you'll see.

I have come to the conclusion that one idiot is a pain the the tookis, several idiots are a political meeting and a room full of idiots are the people who show up in a court room just to watch someone be tried that has no connection to them.
