When my "memories" on Facebook came up today, I decided to open them and see what was there. A post from 2012 that said...

"Apparently my scale doesn't go lower than 130".

A little update.

Weight on the doctor's scale this week.

88. 4

That's officially a 10 pound gain.

Last dental hygiene appointment had to be done in 4 appointments. I could only take about 15 minutes sitting back in the chair.

Today I did a complete hygiene appointment in 1 hour!!!

I couldn't do dental appointments the whole time I was so ill. I hate that I need a lot of reconstructive work done on account of that. My teeth have always been so important to me but I had to accept that I just couldn't manage it.

In 2 weeks I do fillings in one hour. Sometime after that I do extractions...it makes me SO sad.

Pro tip (ha): When I do hygiene appointments I also get laser and/or ozone water treatments. Both are anti bacterial. My theory was that swallowing bad bacteria puts it right into the digestive tract where I don't need it. My dentist figured out a way to freeze the ozone water so I can drink it. That's on my list of "dental to-dos".

He's got a lot of good ideas for me since while I was gone, he added holistic to the usual biologic solutions in his practice. We might do something with my plasma in the future. Not joking. I'm game for it.

So...progress happening in a number of ways. I'm so thankful I can't even tell you!

So...this happened.

Started the 4th of July off with a bang! 200 joules to be exact. Got high on propofol just prior. Yep. Early morning. Went in on maybe just over an hour of sleep. Got really irritable in my head, tried not to show it to staff. The Boy was getting on my last nerve, I told him to leave the room. Did the thing then came home and slept for 6 hours.

Documenting:

87.7 lbs

Administered:

Cardizem IV (slowed heart rate down to 108)
Magnesium IV (did something in the tummy, not unpleasant, check that with Primary)
Protonix (PPI not fast acting, don't know if it helps anything yet)
Simethicone (kid's chewable. I'm serious)

And...there's a story to share.

Almost everyone who comes in contact with me, calls me Miss Jersey. That's my professional name so I answer to it.

Almost no one on planet Earth pronounces our last name correctly.

The male nurse who was there after the cardioversion, looked like an older George Michael. Very polite, hospitable, and informative nurse. With an accent. When he wheeled me out to the check out, the woman behind the counter calls me Miss Jersey and then checking my last name...she mispronounced it.

Then George Michael said to the woman..."That's (pronounced the last name correctly...IN Hungarian)", "It's Hungarian".

I whipped my head around and asked him "How do you know that? Did my husband tell you that?" "No, I know how to say it, Miss Jersey." Then he said a greeting in Hungarian.

I told him when we got to the car out front, that he HAD to greet my husband and say that greeting. The Boy...opens the door and George Michael did just what I asked. Upon which The Boy...lit up like a Christmas tree!

The Boy asked him if he was Polish. "No, I'm from Romania". They chatted and off we went.

That was SO stinking fun! There's an American way to say the last name (which we do) and the correct Hungarian pronounciation. I have not heard it pronounced in Hungarian since my MIL was alive. SO COOL!!!

Home scale

91.2



That can't be right. I'll see...

Home scale

90.8



I think I'm trending upward again.

It's like when you're losing weight and hit a plateau...only in reverse.

Msnobody’s jaw dropped open! Trending upward! \o/ \o/ \o/

Thanks! To be honest, I got so excited that I weighed myself 3 times and even changed the batteries in the scale just to be sure.

I'll keep an eye on it and try not to get obsessed.

GI Doc update:

He's leaving the practice so I'm leaving the practice. I've complained about him repeatedly. Time to move on. Any progress I've made has been MY progress or simply "a matter of time." We'll see what a new doc has for me.
