Where do I begin with this blog? How about this. I went to the doctor..a few times...more than 1...and 4. Oh and btw, I got blood drawn. A few times. Like a vampire, constantly wanting more. I'm obviously SO addicting. My blood is just DRAWN to by these doctors, they just keep wanting more.
That was my rant of the blog.
But, anywho.
It's been a journey since I've come back home from my San Fran lover boy vacation. Full of doctors, needles, Starbucks hangovers, gluten confusion, and the gym. What a life I live. I, however, shouldn't be complaining [BUT I WILL!!] because I went to my mom's looney doctor with her, and I'm not the one begging for percoset. So I guess, it could be worse..kinda.
With my doc, however, SOOOO many unanswered questions that I wish would never pop up. Like, can you not tell me whats going on, cause, it's only confusing me more. My doctor mentions something about my blood cells being like apples and grapes, and that is all I really got out of her. So, I'm not the one to go to for information about my problems unless you want to hear that I am filled with a huge fruit salad and my blood loss is in more containers than in my body.
I have to get x-rays, and see specific blood doctors that I can't pronounce, and the journey continues. Bring on the Starbucks!! [White mocha frapp light w/ no whip], I'm trying my best at weight watchers.
THAT'S ANOTHER THING! My first ever weight watchers meeting in my whole life, WAS CANCELED! It's a sign!! That my weight wasn't gonna be good, or I shouldn't go at all [but I'm going to anyway, because I have to, for me. I keep telling myself that, it's not really working ;)].
Anywho.
Back to True Blood. I don't watch the show but I do know that the jars these doctors used on me, WERE FROM THE SHOW! The replica! This was just yesterday when I got my blood drawn, yet again, and again, oh and again. But this time, there was A TWIST! They took blood in jars, BIG jars. From both arms! At the SAME time! I looked like I was being nailed to the cross in 1800 B.C. and if anyone was curious, it does hurt.
If you read this whole thing, you are my best friend :) Because this blog is the best healer and my mom and I are laughing as I type. The following and the growing of people talking about my blog, is the BEST! I would be drawing more blood on myself if I didn't have this. Why you ask? Because then, I would die. Just like I feel every time I go into True Blood mode at the doctor.
I'm grateful for my doctors, SO grateful. But, could you use a little less blood?!
Keep in touch.

Alexa,
ReplyDeleteI'm so proud of you and hope you can keep up the good work! As for those "vampires", I know exactly how you feel - when I was first going through treatment, they needed blood EVERY WEEK!! And there was really only one person who could get it on the first try - only she wasn't the one doing to sticking until the other would try 3 or 4 times *OUCH!* And I know about the bruises too... no fun.
I know you can lose the weight you want, and you have a great supportive family and lots of friends who can help you through.
Much love,
Jenn

Beautiful Alexa... even when it was hard to smile yesterday at lunch, you still take my breath away at the intensity and beauty that just radiates out of you. I am sorry this confusion is happening in your life right now, but you have SOOOO much support around you all the time especially your love you brought back with you! Your family (which includes me) are here along the bumpy ride you are on right now and I want you to know I will forever be here for you in any way you ever need. I love you very very much precious. One moment at a time and remember, breathe in through the nose and out of the mouth... you will make it through.... Love you!
