Mole on top of head... 👀

I've had a mole on my head all my life and years ago it started causing pain off and on when it was touched. Its now gotten to where the last year or two it has gotten bigger (up) and wider. Just from what I can feel. I haven't ever seen it. So, I don't officially know what it looked like before all of this stuff. But as of last year when I started getting eegs they tell me that it has a yellow looking pus coming out of it and as you can see 👀 in the picture I've included my friends saw 👀 it last night 🌙 and asked me about it and I told them what I know about it. It does itch around it at times. I would get it checked out one day, but I honestly don't know what doctor to see about it and I am also afraid of the pain from them touching it and removing it and from hearing them say it's cancer after they test it. I also would need them to accept my insurance which is medicade (not sure if that's the correct spelling).

Colitis pain is getting worse I think :(

Lately it has been to where my lower left side is really high and my lower right side is really high at the same time. Then they take turns at being really high on each side to torture me :( Then there are times where it seems like on the right side it is a radiating pain and it feels like it is at my belly button and up to where my gallbladder was at, then down to my lower right side :(
So, the last couple days, my boyfriend Gareth has drugged me up on my Tramadol, Methocordol, and Norton, as well as Naproxen to help get my pain down, so now I'm a bit high from all that is in me, but my pain level isn't that high, so that is a good thing right now, but being that it is 12:45 am right now and I have an appointment with my therapist at 1:00 pm today, but being that I'm constantly in pain and now high on all the meds I've been sleeping ALOT!!! So, hopefully I will be able to pull off not being high on meds when I'm talking with her about things that are going on in my life right now. I know I haven't really been taking my Celexa lately, and I don't know if I should tell her about that or not *sighs*

February 16, 2015 - Snow Day - Greensboro, NC

On Saturday night I found out it was supposed to snow on Monday afternoon into Monday night and into Tuesday morning.

I didn't actually think it was going to snow, but come to find out about 4:00 pm it started snowing today. 

We are supposed to get anywhere from 1 to 3 inches of snow.

I hope we don't get more then that, because that could mean I may have to cancel my primary doctor's appointment tomorrow and I don't want to have to do that, because I need my medicine adjusted and need refills for my medicine, not to mention I want to find out the results for my sleep study that I had done in December 2014.

Did you get snow where you live today? How much did you get?

Feel free to share pictures of your weather with me in the comments section.

Here is a video of it snowing today. I recorded it while I was out taking the photos you see here with my iPod Touch. 

My GI doctor is finally working with me!!!

When I first started seeing him, he didn't seem like he was wanting to work with me or believe that I really have colitis, but now after going to the ER last year in October or November and him laughing it off and not wanting to do a follow up appointment for me, he seems to have changed since I was in the ER again yesterday for my current colitis flare up and I had a follow up appointment today with him, where he actually listened to what has been going on lately and realizing that stuff has changed since my last GI doctors in VA. So, he set me up a colonoscopy and endoscopy for the 12th of February to see what is going on himself instead of just going off of what my last GI doctors have in my chart about what they found out.

2/3/15 - ER visit

Bad day yesterday :(

Had a bad day yesterday with my colitis pain and accidents, so I didn't get to workout yesterday  
I also binged (well to me it was binging, because I can't eat much anymore with my colitis and always being bloated and nauseous) on food and I felt bad about it because I knew I didn't work off any calories all day, like I had the first three days with being back on here  
I didn't even drink water yesterday  

With all that yesterday, I'm not letting it set me back today. Even though I couldn't sleep tonight with insomnia and my colitis pain getting higher  

I am determined to get at least a ten minute workout in today and not eat so much again today, because I don't want to gain back the 5 pounds I lost since the beginning of the year, especially since I want to get my weight down a few more pounds before I go back to my GI doctor on June 2, 2014. 

Not to mention I want to get down 10 pounds by September 5, 2014 when I go to brain injury camp with my cousin again. I need more energy because we walk a lot at camp and I don't like not having energy to do the walking or enjoy it, since walking is my preferred exercise. 


Do you have any goals you are working on? 
If yes, then what are they? Are you doing good with your goals? 
If no, then why don't you? 

Getting back on track using SparkPeople

I am now as of yesterday working on being active on SparkPeople to help get me back in track with getting back in shape and feeling better about myself again.

I have lost 5 lbs. since the beginning of the year, as of yesterday :) So, that makes me very happy, but I want to do better and actually see progress with my weight loss more in person then on the scale every few months when I go to the doctor.

I go back to the doctor in 6 months (so November 2014) and I want to have lost at least 10 lbs. by then because the doctor didn't seem impressed with my weigh loss of 5 lbs. :( Even though I was very happy to see that.

Starting Weight: 290
Current Weight: 271.2 (As of 5/15/14)
Lowest Weight: 130
Goal Weight: 170

Also, here is a starting photo, so that I can work on seeing progress again through photos, because it is motivation for me. Photo was taken on 5/11/14. So, I will update it again on 6/11/14 to see if I notice a difference in my looks. I will wear the same clothing that day as well.

I have simple exercise goals of starting with working out in the morning and working out for 10 minutes everyday, if not more. Also, I am working on kicking out soda from my diet again and adding more water with crystal light into my diet again.

Also, when I go to my GI doctor in June, I am going to try and find out if I have  a gluten intolerance and if I do, then I will be going gluten free as well, to see if that helps with my chronic stomach pain.

Today's Dr. Visit

Went to the Dr. today for a check up and to let him know that I am still dealing with my breathing issues after the second time I got sick last year.

Symptoms: Wheezing, cough, and snoring at night.

Diganosis: Storide (not correct spelling) shot and inhalor with storides (not correct spelling)... because he feels I am allergic to my cat, but I could have told him that.

The funny thing about this is I have had my cat since July 2009 and now am having breathing issues???

I am thinking of getting a second opinion because I don't trust his totally *sighs*
