Good News....The mystery continues....

 so guess what??


No brain tumor, brain bleed, loss of myelin or swelling!   No early Parkinson's...nothing out of the ordinary, just a regular brain up there!   We already know from the Endoscopy that there are no growths or polyps in my nasal passage or the top of my throat!


so now what???

Why do I smell this mysterious cigarette smell, and why does Tom sometimes smell it now?   Just to be safe I am going to get a new carbon monoxide detector.  

I think it must be a stress response, we both have been really tired and I have certainly had more headaches so for now I am just going to be stuck with

Oh snap...

I was just googling how to spell Phantosmia (smelling things that aren't there) so I didn't look like an idiot on here and it says common causes (that are not brain or polyp related) could be allergies, migraines or colds which we knew of course but it also says  DENTAL PROBLEMS.

I literally just came from the dentist and he told me that the tooth that was hurting me the other week was weakened by my hormones and my constant clenching and grinding of my teeth and it has to go...it is unsalvageable (apparently its a wisdom tooth?) and that I have another tooth that wasn't bugging me on the other side that needs a root canal (which we knew from before but we were conveniently using the pandemic as an excuse to stay away from the dentist).


Wow that was a journey.....so I guess we go from here....

  • Use the nasal rinse to make sure my nasal passages aren't dry and inflamed, 
  • in two weeks I will have the teeth fixed and 
  • hopefully soon we will have the Eviction of The Fuckuterus and its ridiculous Cyst friend which will either help or greatly increase the weird hormonal shit in my body LOL
If we could get the stress level at work to go down maybe these headaches will take a hike along with the nasty cigarette smell???


but the good news is   GOOD BRAIN!!!!! YAY!!!

Funny side note: 

I told my family doctor today that my mom and sister were going to make signs and picket my OBGyn if he doesn't schedule me right away for the eviction and he just about lost it and at the end of the call he laughed again and said he would watch the news to see if he see's the Lang ladies protesting at the doctors office.

Till next time....I need to figure out dinner and a nap before Aquafit

Silence Invisible Woman......

TRIGGER WARNING - Surgery and Period Talk I am really struggling with what to write here today so this post may be a little raw and less fun as some of my others LOL   If you don't want to hear about girls health issues, now is the time to leave! I had an experience that really mad me sad and then totally pissed me off!    Have you ever felt invisible? Have you ever met someone who is REALLY REALLY nice and doesn’t want you to worry so they blow a little smoke up your ass and on a good day you believe it and on a less good day you ignore it and let it annoy you a little and then there are days when like it REALLY PISSES YOU OFF….and you just want to scream FUCK YOU….Hear me don’t just listen to me! I don’t want to hear positivity and Pollyanna just because you don’t want to say the negative stuff or because you don’t want me to worry.   Tell me the truth and if you have some words of wisdom, support or positivity that can help,...

Tornado no longer?

 Hey Y’all Thought it was time for an update as it’s been a bit of a storm since I last updated everyone!    As you all know (all 3 of you who read this LOL) the last two years has really been a journey for me to get my physical, mental and spiritual self healthy.    I have been working very slowly on creating better habits, moving more, eating better, reading more, forgiving more, finding gratitude etc….you know all the good things. I have been feeling physically amazing since the surgery, I barely remembered what a day without pain felt like and now most of my days are pain free.     I knew that I would experience some changes once my hormones were not all over the place and my body wasn’t in fight or flight every single moment of every day!     However, I wasn’t really ready for the rollercoaster that has come. On the plus side, I do not need all of the iron, vitamins and supplements I was taking just to be able to drag my ...

We got ready for our dinner and got a cab to take us to Cafe Campagne. we had an amazing three course dinner with lovely wine pairings and a lovely chocolate Digestif. Chris wanted to go for another walk.....so we headed down to the park, once there he looked me ddep in the eyes and told me how much he loved me....then he dropped to one knee and produced the lovely mahogany ring box....he asked me if i would make him the happiest man on earth and be his wife. you know me....
