surprisedNow Playing: Day 2943-Chapter 3... Happiness~My Silver Lining
If you walk through life and always remember to expect the unexpected. You will then never find yourself the least bit surprised nor disappointed.
We have hit a major crossroad. A huge cut in the road so to speak with regards to another new opportunity that has unexpectedly opened.
Rise n' Shine to a far too early weekend morning! An unexpected drive to view a property. Always... when least expected. We now have further options and more major decisions to make with our big move. This move is turning out to be more like an international chess championship game! These aren't moves that can be rapidly made... no way... these moves take some serious meetings of the minds. We now have another option on the table. This doesn't mean that moving out west is 
no longer a go. It just means that we no longer just have one option of selling our current home. We now have three options on how this entire big move can play out to our advantage. If this new option goes into the direction where the wind may take us... then we will only have a mere month to quickly finish up any last minute repairs and repainting projects. EEEE~YIKES! Talking about Eric on the hustle! This gals body is on a major time-out for the time being, so I won't be able to help with a possible upcoming month of sheer madness.
We have some really big and quite serious decisions to make within the next few days. I always tell Eric that the universe will let you know... always has... always will. If things are meant to be... they will be meant to be.
Things can go one of three ways. But regardless... they are all super exciting! I am soooooo ready for this next phase of life. A major do-over with plenty of happiest of happy days ahead!

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. 
HAHAHA!!

Amen.

I tell ya! 
As for myself... it's been a past few days of just taking it easy as my body gets adjusted to another new round of antibiotics. It's no wonder that I have another few more pounds to add to the existing pounds to gain back once I am finally off of all the various rounds of antibiotics. But no worries... at least I am keeping myself busy with watching Eric attempt to keep up with both high energy Snoreo and Babyblue. Hehehehehehe! Even right down to watching Babyblue literally stick her head into the very first Happy Meal treat for being such a good puppy while enduring her last round of vaccines. Okay... so maybe she didn't get to enjoy the entire Happy Meal. But she sure was cute as a button while watching her try to figure out the tiny toy inside the big red box! Hehehehehehe!
We have been doing our best to keep it healthy here around the house. Picking up another stash of super healthy, organic beverages for me and a little something for Babyblue for being really good for our veterinarian while Mommy was home resting? Super nice & SUPER SWEET of her human Daddy! 
d'oh
An unexpected snowman tragedy of sorts... hehehehehe!
kitchen window. Ok... it is a bit funny! Hehehehehe! Babyblue puppy actually found our miniature snowman laying in multiple snowflake pieces below the kitchen window sill as she began eating what used to be his arm. Hehehehehehe! I guess we will just have to wait until our next big snowfall before bringing him back to life again! 
Meanwhile... as the sun and warm temperatures continue to quickly melt away all of the beautiful snow... it's time to think fast on ways to keep the fur gang busy indoors! It is far too muddy to be outdoors at our local dog park and various walking trails to help release their energy. Huskies in general demand a lot of play time! Even Snoreo has a lot of energy being a German shepherd-Siberian husky mix! We keep a huge plastic tote filled with lots of various toys for days like today when we can't take them outdoors. Along with being their human mommies taste testers while cooking dinner. Hehehehehe! Too cute! We did have a fenced in backyard. But it had to come down last summer due to the foundation shifting and pulling on the fence posts. This area is just not the place to own a house. Nor is it the place to build any new home. The 7+ acres of open land across the street from us still has yet to sell. Good luck with that to anyone who isn't smart enough to realize that farm land and shifting limestone doesn't make for anything stable to build upon! Hopefully it won't sell until later this summer.

There aren't enough words to describe waking up to the sounds of a far-too-early cell phone alarm and seeing this little cutie sleeping soundly in her huge crate. Absolutely, ADORABLE! It's just unreal seeing all of Babyblues super close resemblances to our beloved Littleblue! Even right down to this photo of Littleblue and her buddy Cuddles kitty napping away one lazy afternoon during last years winter season. Do you believe in reincarnation? If I wasn't a believer before... I most certainly am a believer now! Babyblue & Littleblue are the ultimate reincarnated twins! I have never smiled so much in such a short amount of time! 
This morning marked the start of a very long day, one doctors appointment after another. Two post-surgical follow-up appointments and one long phone call with my oncologist. My appointments are never quick and to the point. They are always long and mentally draining. But lately things are finally starting to look promising! Skin lesions and the surrounding areas are finally starting to heal a bit more quickly. Maybe another round of antibiotics, against my liking, was actually just what my immune system needed! A 
little extra help! Myself and Eric weren't expecting another round of labs this morning. But it's a good thing that I have learned to fast 8-hours before any specialists appointment. Just in case they need to draw blood and this way I won't have to come back the following day. Several more vials of blood taken this morning after another new specialist noticed more than a few tests that had yet to be performed by a few specialists back in Ohio. Actually, it was the very first time that both of my appointments meant hearing a few comments with regards to lack of follow up, necessary lab work. One even made a comment that really struck a cord with myself and Eric, "These specialists back in Ohio sure have no problem repeating the same tests and labs. But why are they not checking into other avenues that might not be normal labs to order. However, it could provide a great deal more information to help with your unique medical case." Even so much as a head shake and chuckle of sorts after making the comment. Although, the first specialist wasn't the last specialist of the day to make a very similar comment regarding what they really wanted to say in a nutshell... what I had been feeling for quite awhile now. Feeling as if some of my specialists back in Ohio have already given up hope for me. Maybe it was my no-worries attitude of sorts that really struck a cord with both specialists whom are both now my surgeons. Including my new oncologist who has really went above and beyond over the past few months. Looking for new experimental treatment opportunities that could possibly provide me additional relief, even possibly... a cure. 
on fire
Tomorrow it's back to the surgeons office. Both surgeons offices. Time to receive a first and second of both surgical re-checks. I have been on far-too-many rounds of antibiotics for my liking. Far too many stomach aches and the inability to consume much of anything while still remaining on antibiotics. Literally forcing protein shake after protein shake. Hopefully at least keeping me on various antibiotics over the past few weeks will pay off as far as a much quicker healing time! 
Adding 3/4 cup of shredded coconut, melted white, mint and dark chocolate organic cocoa chips and a dash of tiny gold sprinkles! I may have to attempt this recipe a second time around after forgetting to let the melted marshmallows cool off a bit. What white, mint and dark chocolate organic cocoa chips and tiny gold sprinkles? They literally all melted into the hot marshmallows and Rice Krispies. OOPSIE! 
What I still have yet to accomplish is setting my sights high with my drone that I received last year, November for my birthday. At least I do far better as a drone pilot, compared to crash after crash pilot Eric. HA! This evening I was finally able to maneuver the drone around the entire basement in mid-air. Once the snow clears, it's time to take this drone outdoors in hopes of learning to take some really neat high altitude photos of life here in the country! By the end of summer, I should be ready to take this drone out west to photograph the beautiful red rock mountains and miles upon miles of endless desert... I can't wait!
