My rockin' toothpaste finally came! Indeed, it's a good one (of course.. I'm coming from brushing my teeth with baking soda.... so frankly, anything will seem good). But really though, it's not super sweet, and I feel like it does a good job. I've only had it for two days now, so we'll see how it does within the next month.
To add to my new dental health care, I got a pick (you know.. for scraping tarter and such) and a new electric toothbrush. When the pick comes in, I'm essentially going to give myself a "deep cleaning." When I was at the dentist, the hygienist sort of cleaned my teeth, but didn't really go all out because she thought I was coming back. Well look lady.. it's $700, plus you just don't get the fact that I have low platelets.. so I'm not coming back anytime soon. And as we all know, I'm a big fan of doing it myself (the story of my life these days), so why not be my own dentist!? :D Should be interesting. I got a little mirror too, just for the occasion!
I don't remember most of my dream from last night, but I do remember this: I was running (for the purpose of running..aka exercise) and loving it. And was so fast! It was such an incredible experience.. I hit a point where I could have stopped if I wanted to (it was like PE class or something), but I just kept going and realized I wasn't winded at all, nor had that terrible feeling that your heart is going to pound right out of your sternum. We ran 4 miles. And I could have kept going on forever.
This dream needs to come true. I want to love running. I'm not the biggest fan right now... most likely cause I'm so out of shape! Oy! Flabby McGee!
I forgot to mention that on Monday I got food poisoning. Yeah! Good times right there! The day started out great (I was feeling awesome on Sunday, having just finished my mini juice fast), and breakfast was a yummy bowl of fruit and oatmeal. But I was still hungry not too long after and had a little more fruit. And an hour or so later I was STILL wanting something, so I popped into the kitchen and ate something I haven't had in a long time: An Egg. (over medium, to be exact).
Now.. clearly it didn't taste rotten.. else I wouldn't have eaten it, but it must have just been going bad or something, cause an hour later, things began going south. I'll spare you the details. Just know that my burps tasted of rancid egg, and my body was bound and determined to rid itself of all nutritional substance by any means necessary.. and all means were utilized.. more often than once.
The whole escapade ended late into the night, but I was still feeling it the next day. My digestive system was having a hell of a time getting things back in working order... it seemed all the crucial bacteria hitched a ride during the mass exodus the day before. A bit a yogurt helped that.
Anyway! Almost back to normal now! :) It was about 6 months since I had an egg last... you can bet your britches it'll be a few years before I try it again.
I’ve been making more money (finally!).. working hard to make more, for sure. But because of that, I will no longer be getting medi-cal stuff (it’s not exactly medi-cal.. but close)…. So I’m not sure what this means with my hematologist, cause I got referred to him by the clinic.. who’s associated with medi-cal. So I’m not sure if I can go to that clinic any more, and then not sure if I’ll be able to see my hema because of that. Really though, it doesn’t matter AT ALL. It’s not like he’s doing anything. I’m refusing conventional treatment, so there’s nothing for him to do but check me out once in a while and see ‘yup.. she’s not dead or bleeding out everywhere.’ And it’s not like I need to go to the clinic anymore either.. since I’m loosing all faith in standard medical health care. The ONLY bummer is how am I going to get a CBC? Hmmm… I could always go up to Santa Rosa, I guess… it’s just a drag cause it won’t be free. I’m seeing my CS therapist tomorrow… maybe her husband will be willing to order me one if I need it (he’s an MD). Need to check the cost though.
Okay summer. I’m ready for you. Let’s do this already.
