An Update to What is Wrong.

This is an update to the post I wrote a few days ago about some medical problems I have been having. So I will let everyone know what is going on. The test results from my 4 vials of blood came back. My iron is really, really low which is no shocker to me cause I have been anemic since the day I was born. My mom even had to give me liquid iron through an eye dropper when I was a baby. Dr M said I am just a few notches above getting a blood transfusion. He said I am beyond anemic. Him and the nurses couldn’t understand how I get myself up out of bed every morning. They said I must feel like complete shit, which I do. But I have felt this way for most of my adult life. I just thought this was how I was suppose to feel. My ferritin (which is my iron reserve) is damn near dry. When your ferritin dips to 70 or lower many doctors will start you on a prescription iron pill. My ferritin is 2. My vitamin D is way low as well. But none of that would give cause to the pain I am feeling in my abdomen.

Donna: Maybe your pregnant!
Me: I’m not pregnant.
Donna: I want you to be pregnant so we can have a shower!
Me: I’m not pregnant but y’all can still by me gifts if you want.
Donna: Dr M! Maybe Amanda’s pregnant!
Me: I’m not pregnant,
Dr M: Go pee in a cup.
Me: See! See what you did Donna! Now I have to pee in a cup.
Donna: I hope you’re pregnant!
Me: When the test comes back negative I get one of those fun size Hershey bars in your drawer there.

Me: (handing Nurse D my urine specimen) Got a present for you.
Nurse D: Wow, that’s clear.
Me: Well if my pee’s not good enough for you then just give it back.
Nurse D: You sure that’s not water.
Me: Taste it and find out.

The test comes back negative and I get me one of Donna’s fun size Hershey bars. They also tested for UTI which came back negative. But Nurse D was concerned about my urine being so clear. It could of past for water.

With all those ruled out Dr M decied to send me for an ultrasound of my abdomen. So yesterday morning I went up to Medbrook and had the ultrasound done and as it turns out I have gall stones that have to be removed. Whenever everyone at work found out they couldn’t believe it cause my pain is on the opposite side of the gall stones.

I don’t yet know when my surgery is going to be. Dr M is sending me to Dr Hrko to have them removed. I have a consultation with Dr Hrko on November 6. I will find out then when they will cut me open.

If anyone out there feels sorry for me having to be gutted sometime in the near future you are more then welcome to buy me gifts. I also accept cash.

Hand Me The Tylenol

The webhosting company I have now is not that user friendly. I am having issues with connecting to ftp clients. No matter what I do or what ftp client I use there is always an error with connecting to the host. I have scoured their help sections and forums with no luck. I even googled my problems and still have not found a solution that works. So I turned to their support center. Ugh. I hate their support center. They are nothing but a headache. I told them my problems and they just kept telling me that my user name and / or password must be wrong. When I told them that it clearly states in the ftp client that my password and username is correct, that it is a problem connecting to the host. They dismiss me as a novice and tell me to check my username and password.

I could feel a headache coming on.

So, it looks like I may be on the hunt for a new website hosting company.

That alone in itself can be one heck of a headache. But hopefully with the help of Webhosting Geeks I can find a good company without having to do an endless search on google. See, Webhosting Geeks is a webhosting reviews and ratings site that list everything you want and need to know about a hosting company. No more visiting countless sites to find the info you need. Everything is in one place on one site.

Easy Peasy!

Cowboy Cookies

Thanks to the oh so wonderful Bakerella (I love her site, I mean L O V E) I made her delicious Cowboy Cookies.  I’m not going to post the recipe cause you should really get it from her since it is her recipe to begin with. But I will post pictures and the process that I went through get these little round dollops of heaven.

Step 1: Make sure you have a cute kitty to watch over your shoulder just in case you need any help. Those fuzzy kitty paws come in handy.

Step 2: Mix dry ingredients together.

Step 3: In a separate bowl mix liquid ingredients.

Step 4: Slowly add liquid ingredients to dry ingredients.

Step 5: Jedi gets oh so tired (hey, it’s hard working being adorable) and has to go take a nap.

Step 6: Fold liquid ingredients into dry ingredients until well blended.

Step 7: Make sure that everything is blended nicely. Using the back of a spoon works well and if all else fails use your hands. No one needs to know.

Step 8: Roll dough into balls (haha, I typed balls) and place on an un-greased cookie sheet. Bake for 10 minutes in a 350 degree preheated oven.

Step 9: Remove cookies from oven using an oven mitt. Don’t be a dumbass like I was one time (yes only one time) and forgot (that’s right forgot) to use an oven mitt. That didn’t feel to pleasant.

Step 10: Enjoy!
