I know it's been a bit.....but cats and sinus infections and well just gross shit awaits you if you dare to read....

Things have just been crazy, too crazy to even think or wallow as usual.  We just got 2 new cats that were once feral and they have spayed/neutered them, microchipped them, and now they will be my mouse hunters.  They are actually really sweet cats.  I don't know if its the Dr Doolittle in me but I have always been able to pick up strays, approach "dangerous watch dogs" and have never once been bit or nipped.  I was the kid always coming home with something, begging to keep it.  I've had snakes, lizards, guinea pigs, rats as pets, rats for snake food, a rabbit, multiple dogs and cats at some point.  Mostly when I was a kid, though.  Since being a parent I have only had dogs and outdoor cats.  Now with that being said, I have bred dogs, and shown them- so no other time for anything else.  Plus a 5 ft iguana or a 15 ft snake aren't very kid friendly.  Other than having a bad (and by bad I mean my molars hurt and light is causing migraines) sinus infection I have been better.  Due to that I am not going to ramble along.  Last night I had a nose bleed from the sinus infection, I know not what usually happens, for over an hour.  Without going into details... wait you don't know me so fuck it.... details!  I went through 2 paper towels, 2 wads of TP and about 5 kleenexes.  Twice when I pulled whatever out to check, I pulled HUGE blot/snot clots out that were so big and gross I had to show H just so I had a witness.  Speaking of H, H and I have somewhat agreed regarding finances, he just gave up and realized that I check the balance on my phone before making a purchase, and no I will not log a $3 charge at McD's in the checkbook.  

So here I sit.... waiting for the doctor to call me back because the antibiotic they gave me is doing nothing.  Nothing!  The last time it was this bad they gave me 2 z-packs which did nothing, then sent me to an ENT.  I tried to explain that in the past I had to be given Cipro to get rid of the bad ones, but since the doctor I have had since 16 moved to Wisconsin, I was now seeing her former partner.  I like her but she does not know the depths of my medical history.  Let's just say after diabetes at 18, 2 very high risk diabetic pregnancies, cancer,  lots of surgeries to remove cysts.  Maybe I'll elaborate on the roadmap that is my abdomen after all this crap tomorrow, so come back for that explanation.  Also car crashes only one my fault, but not really since my insulin pump malfunctioned.  And So on and so on.  I have 4 full files and am about to have to start my 5th.  She had only been seeing me for about 6 months so no Cipro.  ENT did not believe it was sinus infection since no fever.  I don't get fevers often and my normal body temp is always around the mid to upper 96.somethings.  Reason 1 why I hate super hot summertime so much.  For me if I hit 99.0 that's a fever, but they never see it that way.  I told them that but no meds- he prescribes an MRI to see what the real issue is.  So I wait 4-5 days to get the MRI done, then another 4-5 days to see him, of course he is only at the office by my house 2 days a week..... Pure Awesomeness!!! So as I am in the room, he pulls out the report, of course for the first time.  If he would have looked at it for a minute when it got back and was sent over, or actually upstairs, yeah same building....  He could have saved us both time and me a lot of pain if he would have opened the envelope.  He holds it up to the light and says "Wow! That's an infection!"  DUH "Not so much your upper sinuses but you lower sinuses are horribly impacted, I surprised you don't look more swollen." 

GRRRR  DUH!!! 

He re reads my chart and writes an Rx for, you guessed it, Cipro. 

Does any doctor think that I would want this for something simple?  It destroys all the good bacteria in your whole system, digestive and female... and then medicine is needed for that.  Please can you give me an antibiotic that will make it impossible to be more than 3 steps away from the toilet.  Yeah thanks that will help with this cold that I have.....

Still waiting... Feel like death!!!
