Couples Who Share Their Beauty Secrets Together...
Mood:  bright
Now Playing: Day 2941-Chapter 3... Happiness~My Silver Lining

 

Couples who share their beauty secrets together... stay together.

Possibly also looking insanely hilarious and quite crazy together! Bahahahahaha!

Nothing wrong with sharing a little lighthearted fun with everyone. No one ever needs to take themselves too seriously in this crazy place we call, life. Life need not be so serious all the time either. Not only are these pure organic facial masks good for the skin. But they also feel really amazing! They are initially a bit cold to the touch. But after a few minutes the real soothing benefits of charcoal, tomatoes and aloe vera begin... ahhhhh... our skin says, "Thank YOU!"

We had a pretty serious start to our day with regards to recent lab reports. What was thought to be an infection, turned out to be another issue with the largest ovarian tumor beginning to once again, block my ureter tube. Cultures were sent out a few days ago and came back early this morning showing pretty much nothing but blood in my urine with very little white cells. What my doctors thought was possibly another infection in a different location, ended up being just the opposite. Another complication from an ovarian tumor gaining further size and strength. I still must remain on antibiotics as a precaution for any possible signs of secondary infection. 

 Instead of going back to sleep after a far-too-early phone call from my doctors office. I was whisked away to the hospital for another emergency scan. It didn't take long for the radiology techs to pick up on the largest ovarian tumor literally almost completely blocking my ureter tube. There were other findings, but I won't know the exact specifics until sometime tomorrow. Notes from one of my specialists back across state lines regarding the last scan, a little over a month ago, made absolutely no sense to the hospital radiology team. I am really starting to question just how much a few of my specialists grew tired of dealing with such a complex medical case. Almost as if... just brushing my entire case under the rug.

I was advised by the radiology technicians this morning about just how important it is to listen to your body. "Go with your instincts and you will never go wrong!"

I guess you can say, that I am very fortunate to have gone with mine.

We are already scheduled with a new urology group who will be either surgically placing a stent to help keep my ureter tube open. Or they will be performing a nephrostomy which is basically a drainage tube. This will hopefully prevent any further complications with my bladder and kidneys not being able to drain properly. We were told that it will be a very tricky procedure since they will need to somehow work their way around the largest ovarian tumor. At least I have some time to regroup and get my game face back on. It's been such a crazy start to this new year that we have hardly had a chance to even blink. However, I am glad that things are going at rapid-fire speed so I don't have time to dwell on a million possibilities of what could go wrong.

It's no wonder that we have mastered the art of making sure to find reasons to laugh and smile each and every day. No matter how tough life may be and the endless hurdles that one may have to jump. It's important to remember that laughter and endless smiles go a very, VERY long way!

 

Look out WWE! There's a new tag team in town!

 

BAH-HAHAHAHAHA!!
