Wow! I knew it had been awhile since I've journaled, but didn't realize it's been five months! I've become a big procrastinator, I think about doing things, but am getting good at not doing them.

Anyways, things are not that great with my health. I have good days and bad days, when my days are bad, they are pretty bad. I am getting a bit worried as my acupuncture doctor seems to be more worried each time I see her. She doesn't say so, but I can see it in her face.

She has been very insistant that I have an ultrasound of my gall bladder, liver and lower abdomen. I did make the appointment as I think it is a good idea due to the years of pain meds and given all my digestive problems. She has also ordered me a *special* pill for my digestive system. I'm not sure what it is, guess I will find out when it comes in.

I've been having a big problem with my feet also. The bones on both of my feet, located just beneath the big toe are jutting out of the side. The left side is a bit worse than the right and after a day of walking the whole foot swells. It's also quite painful to wear shoes. I don't have a clue what it could be. Does anyone have any ideas?

I feel like I am falling apart. I celebrated my 42nd birthday in May and I feel like I am 50 some days. I also spotted a problem with my two front teeth, there is actually an indentation in the middle of the tooth; as if the tooth is just wearing away. I guess a visit to the dentist is also in order here.

I did schedule an appt with my Osteopathic doc for the end of June. We will get the ultrasounds scheduled and do my annual bloodwork.

I do have some good news. I finally graduated college in May! It is a goal that I have wished for many years. There was a time that I didn't think it would ever happen, but I finally did it! I put some photos of that magical day in my photo gallery.

Well ladies, I guess that is enough of an update for now. There is much more that I could say, but I won't bore y'all with all the details. I'll just say that I am hanging in there and somehow, someway I will find some answers and will get better!
