Nocturnal emissions...

Get your mind out of the gutter ya perVs...this is NOT what I'm talking about tonight.  Although I'm sure some of my loyal readers know the perVersions of which I speak, tonight I'm off on a tangent.  First, let me put it out there, that there WILL BE a mamatography post later in the day so today is a twofer.  So now that I've gotten that little bit of info off my chest I can move on.

If you know me from facebook, or any of the facebook groups I admin for, you know I've been bitching NON STOP about my ass crack issues. Better known as, my pilonidal cyst.  I think this fucker just might kill me.  Have I mentioned that I have a ridiculous cardiac response to extreme pain?  My blood pressure and heart rate shoot through the roof.  There is nothing I can do about this.  I can't just breathe through it for all the well intentions of the people that tell me I can.  A few deep breaths would be so much easier and cheaper and faster and truthfully probaby work better IF IT WORKED AT ALL for me.   It does't, all it does is deplete the oxygen the rest of me need to live.

As I'm sure you've figured out by now I'm having a hard time right now.  My poor little son got attacked  on the playground on his birthday by a bully.  He's a little scratched up, but he's fine.  His birthday party was today and I just plain did too much by myself.  And sadly, only 2 kids showed up at all.  I'd spent the entire morning baking cupcakes and going up nd down the stairs to check on the movie I was burning that I hurt myself.  No one even wanted to watch the movie either, they just played video games.

BUTT (pun of course) back to the reason for the post in the middle of the night.  I've got to do something abouth this thing.  I take on an average day 3 15mg MS Contin pills (of course prescribed by a doctor) and for those not in the know, that's a pretty good amount of morphine.  Like enough that some people can't even function on it and it deosn't even take the edge off this pain.  It flairs up, drains, goes away for a few weeks to a few months and then it comes back.  My pain management doctor has told me all my options and I know that ultimately it will require surgical removal.  I have problems with that here.  The recovery time from these things is slow.  In case you don't know what this thing is, I'll put a link to the webmd for it at the bottom.

I'll need to be down more than up in a house full of people that literally need me to tell them what soda to buy if any and what to set the oven for for a frozen pizza.  MY HUSBAND DOES NOT WORK OUTSIDE THE HOUSE.  He is always home, so he should know how things run, but I still have to tell him to wipe the boogers off of the baby or chage his diaper before he pees down his leg.  My teenagers do virtually nothing.  My daughter....well, she couldn't do less if she did try.  My son does the bare minimum and he half asses it all so bad I have to re-do it or someone else does.  My husband says he's trying to learn everything but ya know what? he hasn't worked outside the house for more than 2 years now.  He really should get it by know ffs. I think he does and he just waits for me to do it anyway because I always have. 

For the first time in my pilonidal journey I have a fever of a little over 102 and it's been that way for a few days now.  I know it's not the thermometer because I've used several to be sure I was seeing this right.  The cysts drain, in fact this time it's draining from two places and isn't foul smelling or anything (TMI I know, I'm sorry) So I don't know what to do.  Of course my primary care doctor said go to the ER, they aren't equipped to deal with it there if it needs lanced and packed which it sounds like it does.  BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO!!!!! I go back to that cardiac pain tolerance thing though and that scares mme.  Cardioversion is quite unpleasant and could just trigger a chain effect too.  

How, though, in this house where no one knows what to do even when I am here and somewhat capable, supposed to even consider the prospect of sending a few months with my asscrack splayed open and packed with gauze and at the mercy of people that get mad at me for looking at them wrong when I was cooking dinner (that's actually happened, with my "adult" husband) one night?  Seems a little risky in a selfish way.  That's not even beginning to think about the kids and how or if they'll be properly cared for.  My ass hurts, my ambien is kicking in and I'm going to go sulk about it.
Until next time...

Mamatography 2014, Week one...

I wanted to participate in this last year, but I never worked up the nerve...so I got brave, and here it is for this year.  MAMATOGRAPHY!!!  I will be sharing a picture for each day of this year, sharing just a little bit more than I already do with you readers ;)  I realize I'm a little late, and that this is only 7 pics for 12 days, but I'm very committed to this particular project, so plan on seeing these posts every week! Memphis has a Cozy Coupe, he has been in it every day of the year so far! Memphis and I spend an awful lot of time just like this 💜 This is my dog Bear. She's pretty sure she is a lap dog. As you can see, she does not fit well... Jynx discovered she can sit on top of the room divider, and has been up there more than she should be, by A LOT! I know this isn't a photo, but this is one of Phizzy's drawings from his favorite app that he's able to draw on.  This app is called drawp and he LOVES it!

Mamatography 2014, Week two...

Ok, I lied, the posts are going to come every Sunday.  I really did mean to do it yesterday, but Maxwell had his little birthday party yesterday and I just plain don't feel well.  You can read my middle of the night post  for an explanation on that! So here goes, my week in pictures :) Memphis accidentally bit me so I had a bleeding cut on my nipple. I absolutely HATE to pump, but if was kind of forced into it, because it just hurt too damn much to have him nurse from that side for the first day or two. He decided that he needed to pump himself as well, so not only did I catch a little video of it that I might upload to YouTube, I got a few pics too! This is my oldest son Morgen, we were having our morning coffee, and he's texting his fiancé Angie.  Incidentally, Morgen means morning in German and that's how he got his name. He was going to be Camilla, but he had a penis and I needed a boy name in a hurry and since he was born in the morning, well, he&#

(Also sign up to be added to a comment group!) I'm late again and I'm revamping this week's post. Frankly, I just don't have my head on right and I do plan to post about that here shortly, but I wanted to get this post up and out there first, so here goes... My week in pictures.  It's a collage due to the fact that I did not take a pic every single day which is really weird for me. But this is what I've got for ya! Buncha Phizzy stuff. Added my food porn pic, I actually am well adept at using chop sticks and that shrimp fried rice was amazeballs! So there ya have it. I thi
