A Little More

And another one!
(This will be the last time I comment on it!)


So, a little background real fast:Kyra (of Chuck & Kyra) has been having blood pressure issues since the beginning of the year. At first they thought it might be her birth control pills, and since it was very high, she had to stop taking them. Well, then she moved and the blood pressure investigating just got pushed aside, but she knew it was still high. At one point when we were visiting in July it was 230/112. I wanted her to go to the ER, but she decided to lay down to see if that helped first. Well, it did help a little. Anyway, the day after we left she did end up going to the ER because it went super high again. They kept her for 3 or 4 days running all sorts of tests. What they found was a cyst on one of her ovaries. They didn't think that was the cause, but knew they had to get it out. (It was softball-sized.) They never really determined what the cause of the HBP was. Fast-forward to yesterday.She had the surgery to remove what they thought was just a cyst. Turns out it was a solid mass and as been sent to pathology to determine what it is/was. Today her blood pressure was 110/65. No blood pressure meds to help with that either. Apparently the mass was sitting on or partially sitting on an artery or something.

The bad news, and the point of the background, is she lost an ovary and tube. I just hope the other ovary is super fertile so there's no problems for them later on. And I hope the mass is nothing serious.

John is having a Boy's Day Out with Kyle. (Of Kyle and Amanda) I think they were going to Hooter's for lunch and then a tattoo shop. Past that I have no idea what they are doing. I would imagine it would involve at least a small amount of alcohol.

Oh and I came out of the religious closet!!! Yay me!!I'm Agnostic. There are, apparently, a few people praying for me and John. *rolls eyes* Well, and the kids. How could an Atheist and Agnostic possibly raise decent, well-behaved children?!It's been really amazing to me to join a group of twin moms who share many of the same views I do. (I discovered a great little forum on my twin site.)


I had the best burrito for lunch. From this new place in town called Qdoba. Mmm. So very yummy. And since it has beans- I deem it healthy!! (Shh...we won't speak of the sour cream or queso sauce...)

Another happy thing- I've found more re-runs of TNG. On Monday nights Sci-Fi plays, I think, 3 hours of TNG. Love it. I actually saw a two-part episode the other night I'd never seen before. I've also taken to watching Voyager on Spike in the afternoons. It's funny to me because I really don't enjoy sci-fi, but I love TNG and Voyager. (I am not a fan of the original series or Deep Space Nine. And have not seen Enterprise to know how I feel about it.)

I hear children starting to wake up from their naps, that's my cue to head upstairs....
