Marriage
I am currently helping Jon, my brother, plan his wedding as well. This should help keep the tasks fresh in my mind - hopefully keeping me focused (doubtful).I helped design the invitations and helped pick the dress out (I had fun doing it) and it gave me a few ideas. It is fantastic Jon is getting married, I love Emily.
Because of our eccentric tastes we have opted to buy most stuff online. This is nice because it gives me the chance to show the stuff and get response before I buy it. We have already picked out our rings from the Pyramid Collection and have picked out my wedding dress (yes he helped and I don't care). We are pawning over what style he wants to wear. We decided to have a black wedding with red and white accents so this will be interesting. I want to feel like an evil princess lol I want a sparkle black tiara and a black veil. I am thrilled he wants to do it this way. So far we think it will be out side. If it rains... I hope it rains hard.
I do not want it to be a gawdy black wedding either. I want something sleek going on (as I sound completely the opposite). I am hoping that people respect my wish for red black or white, at least nothing obscenely bright (please) (save white of course). I was going to get the traditional Renessance dress but I have decided to go a little more sleek in all black with hints of dark red as accents such as jewelry. I am not having brides mades or anything like that to save on cash. I can not afford to pay for a bunch of dresses and such. I don't want some jerk to screw up my photos by looking the odd one out in a sunshine yellow dress or array of various fun flowers (mom). If anyone has any ideas let me know. I would like to shoot for early October.
So here we go you guys.. into the whole wide world of planning... I picked out my dress.. here is the link
DRESS

We also picked out our rings:

We have yet to pick a location but that is the least of the details I am worried about.

Surgery... My medical History
Over the past 10 years I have had many surgeries to remove cysts from my body. I had my first surgery on my Wrist when I was 19. Then, then I was 21we found out I have endometriosis and I had a lap surgery to remove the tissue growing in my abdomen at an apparently rapid rate. Then when I was 22 I had surgery on my back to remove a pilonidal cyst. The excision was 7x5 inches. At the same time I had a cyst removed from my labia Majora, called a Bartholin cyst. They diagnosed me as "cystic". A few years later it became aware that I had MRSA. I had cysts all over my body from the time I was 12 until now. They vary in severity but most can be cared for at home. Over the past two years I have been aware of a ovarian cyst that was supposed to go away on its own and seemed to be just sitting there. Because there no increase no decrease in size the doctors opted to leave it there. It has caused me much pain and irregularities. This year it went from the size of a pea to the resemblance in shape and size of a large Kiwi. The problem is that I lost my left tube in a 5 month tubal four years ago. It happened right after my back surgery. It caused me to have frequent PID infections. When they did the tests to see if I had abnormalities in cell structure they found ASCUS which is a type of warning might-be-cancer cells.
I am having a four (wtf) part procedure. The first part will be a lap and a D&C to clean out the Uterus and look for fibroids which can make a positive ASCUS result. They will then burn away the endometriosis they find. After that they will remove the cyst from the overy. They then need to repair the tube if needed and of not they have to shoot dye through it to make sure the tube is functional. It will take several hours and I have to stay two or three days depending on the assessment. If they need to they might have to do a laparotomy which is kind of like a c section in case the procedure requires more arm room. I know that was long but its hard to explain.
The results...
A lack of a huge cyst, A fixed tube and a diagnosis for the frequent infections, Less painful endo tissue, Painless sex?.. maybe I don't know yet.. I am scared about that part because I am seriously used to it. A few more sweet scars? I will know if I can naturally reproduce or -for that matter- at all. If they find fibroids, as suspected, I have to have another procedure after I am healed to remove them.
Much of the terms I use because I have dealt with it for so long. I don't mind. It's actually nice to talk about it.
Tomorrow morning I will know when I must go. I am seriously terrified. I think I have never been so terrified in my entire life. I want children so bad you guys that it shakes my entire foundation and effects me to the bone. I feel breathless at times... I have been crying uncontrollably. I can't help it. The thought of never being able to experience what I loved and lost is breaking me slowly. I miss my child and wanted nothing more than the chance to do it again and hold and love and be there.... wtf...

Still in Colorado.. not for long
7/24/07
First three days in colorado
We reached Colorado today after two long days of driving through the most corn fields I have ever seen. So far we have stayed at two decent hotels and had lunch in a rest/park thing. The mountains are not really within sight here in port-something. We did go to a few large fishing/camping everything else super stores which was pretty sweet. I was stung or bit tonight by something on the uper underarm. We are watching a special on Egypt and relaxing right now. Tomarrow is an early start to make way to Estes Park. We will be staying in rocky national park for about a week if everything goes right. Oh and I should say that this computer only has MSN so I am using aim moile which sucks but it will work. My grades are still not in but my teacher says they will be by tomarrow so getting my loan will be easy because they will probably give the school the request around tuesday and by then I will have my new GPA. I know I probably did not get two A's this semester but I am sure I got at least a B. I am pretty excited about it though because it was a pretty difficult class. Well I am really tired and I need to lie down. I love you all... I will be online late tomarrow night. <3 <3 ... I can not find the camera right now either which sucks because I was going to put some pictures online tonight... I will do it tomarrow probably .. save I have not lost it :{ if this is the case I suppose I will have to get a new one when I get home.

Colorado - Rocky Mt National park and Estes Park Current mood: peaceful
I have uploaded pictures on Myspace (search dreadthedays@gmail.com if you have one because you have to be a member to see them), fortunatly we found the camera. I have been eating rock candy made from the best chocolate I have ever had. Anthony and his dad are fishing today while I hang were with Ben. I don't mind because I know it is really hot out and I do not want to get any more of a tan than I already have. I did, however, forget to bring my freaking dress for the wedding but Anthony's dad Fred is going to help me out on that because he rocks hard core. I am having the time of my life. I have been to the top of the rocky mountains now at a whopping 12,000 ft above sea level. I was scared and clung to the door and Anthony the whole way up. Some jackass was riding our ass for like 20 min and it sucked a lot because it made the ride pretty high tension.. as if it was not enough to begin with. The Inn that we are at is pretty sweet. We are all in the same room which is different. I do have wifi though so I can not complain. Last night I got online and realized that I forgot to post an assignment and had to download openoffice and make the assignment to turn it in only an hour before the deadline! it was a rat race... Today I cleaned the room and went to get som sugar for my tea.. when I returned Ben was on the bed and a little chipmonk was running all over the room!! I was like WTF! it was halarious. I am deleting a few pictures from my album to make room so don't be upset when there are less pics of the twins lol. Today we hit the shopping scene in the heart of Estes park which I am excited about because Anthony's dad pointed out a sweet store called Lithium and I want to know what it is all about. Last night we had some of the best Pizza I have ever had at chicago style pizza joint. There was a cute girl who gave Anthony the look over a few times and I giggled because I am not sure if he noticed but I sure did. The trip here was painstaking because 99% of every state on the way was pretty much all corn. Iowa had a pretty cool downtown scene near the campus for Iowa State.. athough most of it were bleach blond upscale snob nose chicks with small dogs... yeah your telling me. I got your mssg Bernadette and I appreciate your taking care of stuff while I am away. I really do not want Serra calling the freaking phone anymore. I am two steps from pressing harasment charges. She is NOT allowed at our house EVER and if anything comes up missing Anthony said George will be responsable and he was a bit upset but I think he will get over it if things are okay at home and she never comes back again He likes George enough to overlook it one.. I think. Right now he is in waiters in the center of Estes park fishing for Trout which is cool. Ben is watching movies as usual. Last night we met up with Amelia and her crew at a little resturant in the senter of town and had some tea. I am now sitting on the porch in the wind under an umbrella next to a beautiful river. I can hear birds and I see chipmonks playing in the grass.. it is peaceful. Nothing about the loan has been in yet but I expect confirmation soon. If I get anything in the mail please put it aside for me unless it is from citibank and in that case open it, read it and report to me what it says because I need to know in order to take care of those bills we owe. If the phone gets shut off I can not help until I get home... I doubt it but it might because of the $80.00 we owe because of the min used while we were camping.. yeah I know I iwll deal with it when I get home. I will take more pictures later on today and I will post some more tonight. I miss you guys a lot. I saw an indian store and I thought about the two of you... you kno who you are lol.. my dark haired lanky ones... <3<3.. My science Grade was posted today.. I figured I was going to get a c.. I got an A- ... if I get an A in my world religion class I will be thrilled because my GPA will go up yet again. I am sooo excited about that because I will be on the National Deans list again for the 7th semester in a row. I am proud of myself.
24 Jul 2007 Colorado update
Well... the wedding is finally over which is good because I think it was really stressing everyone out. It was beautiful and I took lots of pictures. I have the worst sunburn I have had in years... I am serious its freaking bad... I have blisters in places. We had Buffalo and lamb today at a rustic resturant close to the Inn we are staying at. We are staying the night tomarrow at a lower price motel in town... Anthony's dad decided to stay an extra night to get the best out of the trip after two days of running around and waiting to hear the plans for today. I hurt like hell and my legs are swollen to all get out. The mountains make me feel a little weak. I am going swimming tonight I think.. we will see. I can not get into the hot tub now because it would hurt like hell. Anthony avoided a sunburn but Ben is pretty bad too- which I feel aboud about for not remembering to put sunblock on him.... no one did. We are currentl watching Romeo and Juilet. I think I might take a nap... <3 I miss you all. I iwll nprobably not post anymore pictures until I get home... to much of a hastle. I miss you Bernadette, Phil, George, Thom, Andrew, Wes, April, Ryan, Kc and everyone else that I forgot to mention... much love we will be home by Sunday.

Updating
I went to the hospital today to have more tests done. My Dr. was in fear of uterine tumors and now I fear by the look of the ultrasound that she may be correct. They took a blood test and stuff too so hopefully it is not too bad. My blood pressure is certainly low which is a good thing.
Andrew, our little prestiges Surgeon in waiting is in Ann Arbor working on cadaver bodies to practice technique. He is certainly a good thing in my life. I like having that positive influence on the youth. He is only 16 and he has so much ahead of him!
My grandfather in in the hospital and my Grandmother is refusing to eat. He has a heart attack last night. They said the blockage is gone bu that he is going to be held in ICU over night. I will have him on my mind and I will light a candle for him in hope and honor.

My Requested Update
Anthony purchased he and I our fishing licenses. I have been camping non stop living off the land for 3 or four days at a time. I caught a 16 inch Large Mouth Bass At His grandmothers lake which kicked so much ass... I improved my cast arm and learned how to navigate top lures in lily pads at night. We went camping to Montcalm county and visited about 10 lakes in the matter of three days. We saw an Amish couple at the store. Took a picture of the Potato Monkey bar and grill sign and drove over 400 miles or so.
This morning the Doctor told me that my MRSA is getting worse. My T cell count is down so far that she said it looks like an HIV patient - but that I indeed DO NOT have HIV so thats always reassuring... I am now on five medications. The bacteria is so bad I have sores on several parts of my body that are severly painful. They are absessed and they scare me. People who have the Infection that I have can never get rid of it and are always at risk of losing a limb or appendage. I have to be seriously careful that I do as I am told or this might become my fate. I have to wash myself with alcahol now when I shower if I intend to shave and I am supposed to soak my blade in alcahol as well.
I am now a decent bowler... 115 average so yeah I guess thats better than a 66... I still have A's and one B+ in college and my GPA is a 3.83. I just completed my first year with a whopping 24 credit total credits and above average scores so I am very excited and proud. I am now an Allumni and a professional student so I can get more money which is always a good thing. I want to buy a car.
My pass plan approved me for 1500.00 for a car and 900.00 for supplies over a course of 6 months. Then I save for the house. I am really getting somwhere. I have to save the money over the course of the year and I can only spend it on a vehicle I am buying or to fix one I already own. This is still fantastic news. Too bad I am not in better health or I would be able to enjoy it a little more. I feel like some days I am just going through the motions.
My Religions of the world class really has made me open my eyes to Hindu religion. I am loving every minuite of it. There is also other fucking HUGE news going on here at the circus house. Brace yoursef. My brothers girlfriend is pregnant so I am going to be an aunt. Bernadette is Pregnant. I will leave you with that and maybe I will get a few comments. <3 CALL ME
