Karma Continued
OK For those of you who are poised in anticipation on the edge of your seat waiting breathlessly for Part II of "Should Have Seen it Coming". Sorry. Not going to happen. Synopsis - Christmas came, dog died bought a puppy, spent time with family Christmas was over. End of story.
So. Moving on. It's been a very hectic 2011 so far. Been meaming to write but can never seem to find the time. However, due to the inevitability of STUFF happening just to annoy me, my computer crashed at work today so after about on hour of wandering around the office eating what candy I could beg, borrow or steal, waiting on my computer to be fixed or replaced with those small boxes they pass off as "loaner laptops', I found myself with some time on my hands. Thus this post. I can update my blog and still look like I am hard at work fighting the evils of the corporate world which i would be doing if I could only access my computer or even my Blackberry. (For once, I actually remembered to plug in my BB last night so it is sitting safely at home all snug in it's charger)
Anyway, where was I?? Oh yeah, 2011.
Starting to get a bit nervous about my impending treatment for Hep C. When I first signed up for this gruelling, but possibly unrewarding therapy, it was six months away. Now we are down to 3 month. Wow! REALLY quick 3 months!! The hardest part of the preparation (besides the no alcohol thing which happy hour is almost considered a medical necessity for good mental health at my company) is the UNKNOWN FACTOR!!!!! I have no idea how my body (and mind) are going to react to the treatment. DOCTOR said that reactions for different people was like a "Bell Curve". "Bell Curve". Sounds like a kiddie ride at the amusement park doesn't it? WRONG!!!
Yeah, I know. I was surprised too!!!
Doctors "Bell Curve" means that 1. I could feel fine and be able to go on pretty much like normal. 2. I could feel somewhat crappy but still pretty much function OK. 3 - Feel REALLY crappy and struggle to function in what passes as acceptable or 4. Be Totally wiped out and not be able to function at all to the point of being temporarily disabled during treatment. Geez. Wonder how many taxpayers' $'s were spent to come up with THAT study???? Course , I am not a doctor, and I would never presume to possess the vast knowledge that is floating around the Med Schools, but I am pretty sure I could have come up with those options on my own.
Prognosis - You will either feel fine, feel crappy or feel somewhere in between fine and crappy. REALLY glad I got that info.VERY useful for the preplanning stage!!!
Anyway, go see my ENT DOCTOR tomorrow to see if, as an extra little bonus, I need another sinus surgery before I start my treatment.
(BACKGROUND UPDATE BULLETIN>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Have had 3 sinus surgeries= one staph infection last spring = heavy treatment of 6 weeks of levaquin = stressed liver = trip to MUSC = trans jugular liver biopsy, upper GI, lower GI, blood work, MRI = Upcoming treatment
Butterfly Effect. What can ya do.

Should Have Seen It Coming
Well, I should have known that if I digressed from my original intent of this blog, the fates would find me. After that cheery little Christmas Posting and the start of my children's book, karma found me. Right after I decided that I was going to have a wonderful, stress free holiday for a change, disaster struck. A little harder than usual. Everything started to fall apart on December 17.
Dec 17 was a Friday and the day we were to travel up to Charlotte, about a 4 hour trip, to spend the weekend with my family. My daughter lives in Chicago, so months ago I booked her flight so she would get in early afternoon, we could start a little shopping for her and leave for Charlotte after work. Well, I get a call that morning. My daughter had overslept and MISSED HER FLIGHT. Now remember, this is the weekend before Christmas and a very busy time to fly. 8 hours and an additional $400 dollars later, I rebooked her flight but we were unable to leave for Charlotte until the next morning, Oh course by the next morning it was raining buckets so the trip up was miserable. The visit with the family was wonderful as always even though almost half the family couldn't make it this year.
On the Sunday before Christmas, on our way home from Mothers, real disaster struck. We were still about 30 minutes from home when I received a frantic hysterical phone call from the "roommate". He had stayed home to baby sit the dogs. My beloved Yorkie, Chloe Grace, was playing with the other dogs, ran into a chair, broke her neck, and died instantly. We met RM at the Emergency Vet but Chloe was gone. She had a degenerative disk in her neck so there was nothing we could have done to prevent it I was, and still am, completely heartbroken. She was only 4 years old and although we have 2 other dogs and more cats than we can count, she was the center of the household for humans and animals alike. The other dogs spent the day after searching for her all over the house. It was so sad.
I am not through with my story just yet, but writing this has been hard so I am going to take a break. Will pick the story up next time. SPOILER ALERT...... It does have a somewhat happy ending but not before more karma attacks. (Really should have been better as a teenager!!!)..
