Tell him to stop being an ass and go to a hospital. I'm no doctor, but he might be having a seizure. Either way, facial paralysis is no joke and he needs to get it checked out. Discuss it with your mom or something if you can't convince him yourself.

[Swany]

Theyre just back, hes got Bells Palsy. An eyepatch, eyedrops ('cause its drying out) and steroids, the nerves are weakened. I dont exactly know. HEs going back to work tomorrow, but hes not insured 'casue of the patch. (depth perception and all that) ANd hes struggling to eat/drink.


He seems alright though, but I'm still worried.

[SassyGal]

I hope your dad gets better.

Don't worry, Swany...at least he went to have it looked at and is taking care of it *hugs* I'm thinking of you!

[Kunoichi_Haruko]

*hugs Swany* Wow girlie, here's hoping your dad makes a full recovery soon. I've heard of Bell's Palsy before, but I'm not entirely sure of what it is exactly... And like Sassy said, at least he got it checked.

[Swany]

Thanks so much, I've been finding out more, apparentky it can last from weeks to months. Its a sham though, he cant taste and has to drink a lot to wash his food down, hes drinking through a straw 'casue of his mouth.

I think I need an appointment for the doc myself. My mum thinks I have excema, it started with a small flesh coloured lump on my left arm, now its bigger and looks gooebumpy, the whole arm now has a few bmps on it now, only these ones are red, And theyres two on my tummy and one on my right arm. The thing is they dont itch, so I'm weirded out a bit, but not too worried.

I'm more worried about my dad though.

[EDIT] I have excema, happy days.

[Swany]

Its not a double post of days have pased is it? If I've broken a rule I apoligise.

Pleh, this thing with my dad is hitting my mum pretty hard emotionally. She was quite upset last night. Still the two of us managed to get some sleep so I'm guessing its all gravy.


I start college tomorrow, I'm so freaking nevous.

[Jo Dawn]

Swany, I hope things work out for you and your family.

As for me... Well. Looks like I'm in for another test. This Friday I'll be having a laparoscopy.

Now I know it's not, like, brain surgery. And I'm sure alot of people have had worse. And to be honest, I wasn't worried much, as I've been put out for other tests...

I guess it's just the not knowing. Not knowing what they'll find, therefore now knowing what they'll do while I'm out. I'll have to sign something saying I consent to a hysterectomy if things are bad enough.

Anyhow... for some reason, I'm starting to get unnecessarily nervous. I was reading all about it here (note: not for the TMI haters, lol.), too. And now I kinda know what I'm in for. (Which sometimes isn't the best thing, hehe.)

So... Wish me luck on Friday. I dunno how long it'll take me to be able to be well enough to get back on here (much less lift my laptop). But like I said... I'm nervous this time, and that doesn't sit well with me. Pray for me, keep me in your thoughts, or just send good vibes my way. I'll need them.

Consider it done.

[SassyGal]

I am thinking of you already Jo Good luck. Signing the waivers never instill a ton of confidence in the patients, I know

I am thinking of you and praying for you!

[GK Punk]

Good vibes, being sent your way. <3

[Hannah]

Good luck, Jo!


And I hate to complain, but that's what I do. While I was in Kansas, I left my like.. cold-pack thing containing my insulin in the car during the day by accident. Being that it was around 110 degrees out about every day while we were there, when I got back, it was fried. So, whenever I took my insulin, it had no effect. My blood sugar was crazy high, all the time. I didn't tell my mom because she has a... big temper that I didn't want to deal with. But then a few, well, infections occurred. I freaked out and called my boyfriend and asked him to Google the symptoms and find out what was wrong. After an embarrassing talk with my mom, we had to go to the hospital where they put an IV in my arm and "hydrated" me.. my blood sugar went back down. They also dealed with my little problem. But... I had no new insulin. So my mom had to cough up $200 to pay for insulin my insurance doesn't cover because my perscription wasn't ready to be filled. So I need to make $200. That isn't really my problem. Diabetes is scaring me, and I feel so childish and selfish to whine about it when so many people have it much worse than me. I'm faced with threats of amputations and blindness, and it's really upsetting.

*stumbles in and crashes on couch* My job is screwed... not because i would be a bad employee, but because the place was too big and the lease was too expensive, we'll close the place down and have to work in a church's gymnasium every tuesday, thursday, and friday because the gym will be in use other days. =( So this means i need a second job.

[Sewer Bull]

Jesus.

I feel so sorry for you, Jo and Hannah.

Hope everything's going to be fine someday.

[Blithe]

I'm so sorry to hear about all of the strife piling onto some of my fellow Dromers. Health, job, family, school... these can be heavy issues, but for whatever it's worth, I wish you all the best as you manage through these difficult times.

My boyfriend has eczema, It's a hard thing to have. I hope it doesn't get too bad. My condolences.

Not here long. I really just got online to let everyone know that I was still alive, though in pain. Got meds to help with that, though.

I'm swollen and sore. But they got a bit of stuff out of me. And, it also seemed that, aside from the endometriosis, my bowel and stuff was somehow attached to my abdominal cavity, which normally only happens after a surgery, from scar tissue. But they unattached all that, and all that's left for right now is to rest and recupperate.

Please, keep thinking of me, and I thank you all for your thoughts and prayers.

Thank you. *hugs*

Man, its been a weird week. I wont moan too much becasue compare to most folks my life is nothing to really complain about.

Its weird though I've officially been in college for a wee and been fine but today I just felt so down, I spent a wee while just sitting in my room reading and crying. Then just moping in the shower.I was so happy to see my friends tonight. Its just mostly meeting and making new friends I've realised how much my miss my real friends. Chas is kinda immature and steers the convo away from anything too much for his "16 year old virgin ears" also hes pretty sarcastic, and Jade seems quite quiet. I walked home from my friends, told my dad just to go to bed. Hes in a bit of pain, on top of things my mum has effed up her back, which is pretty sore most of the time anyway. Thinks are OK-ish just now though, not great, but we're managing. We just seem to muddle through anyway.


So yeah, not much to write home about, but a bit cheerier than my last post.

I'll be thinking of all of you.
