What's been happening

First an update on what is happening with my sister:
Not a lot these days. They finally got around to filing the paper work in Probate Court last week. It can take up to 6 weeks for the whole process to take place. I can't wait for this to be over. You know they put this off on purpose. I wonder is she is going to have to re-apply for her loan because they took to long to apply. I'm sure if she does, she will drag her feet on that also. I won't put up with it. I'll wait the appropriate amount of time and call Probate Court. When I find out the paper work has been complete, I will let my lawyer know so he can call the Credit Union or the Bitch's lawyer.

Maggie (my friend from NJ) says she is doing okay. She hasn't been sick the past few days which is a good sign but that doesn't mean she is well on her way to getting better yet. She sees the doctor tomorrow and she'll know better what is going on. She is also taking her 22 yr. old daughter with her. Her daughter has been sick for a little over 2 weeks with symptoms that could be the on set of Lupus but didn't tell anyone right away. She needs to be tested and since she wouldn't go to the doctor on her own, she is being dragged if she likes it or not. I don't know how long it will take to get the lab test back but it's like sitting on pins and needles waiting for all the results to come back and they aren't even mine.

Cami's partner, Michele, is home from the hospital and getting some much needed rest. She has Ovarian and Uterine Cancer. A CT scan has shown it has not spread to any other organs of her body. They get the full report the beginning of this week and she will start Chemo on Thursday or Friday. Since the cancer is very agressive and they couldn't get it all out, I'm sure they are going to be agressive about treating it. They have a long, rough road ahead of them.

My cousin's little girl (who I don't know), has had a tumor on her brain, that is inoperable and they never expected her to live this long.
She recently had surgery and then developed a UTI. The infection has taken over her body according to the last journal entry my cousin has made. I feel bad for my cousin's little girl but these people are like strangers to me. What I am trying to do for right now, is brace myself for a call from someone in my family to tell me she has passed away. It's the only time anyone seems to call me. They can't seem to find the time to call with any type of good news.

As for me, yup even some news about me. In a couple of weeks I'm going to attempt switching from Seroquel to Abilify. Abilify is suppose to, in most cases, make it easier to lose weight. It also is normally taken only once a day. That will be a help. My pdoc won't allow me to start the switch while my therapist is on vacation, that means I have to wait until after July 7th. I've waited this long, I guess a couple of more weeks won't hurt.

I also had a number of blood test done on Saturday. Besides the normal blood work my pdoc does, I had him order labs for my thyroid and cholesteral. I figure in a couple of weeks I'll get a call from my PCP tell me my cholesteral is still high. I haven't been watching what I eat at all. I doesn't seem to matter as far as my weight is concerned, I still gain or lose according to what my body decides. I have started to feel a little more tired lately and my cycles have gotten a little off again so I'll be interested in knowing if my thyroid is functioning okay.

I'm not worried. At this point I'm just taking it one day at a time. I need to lose weight and after the med change, I will attempt to try to stop smoking again. I will have to talk to my PCP about the best way to deal with the anxiety.

That's it for now. I think that is more then enough.
