Hurry Up and Wait.

Last week It looked like things where picking up at my "main job". This week (thus far I've had one client) sucks - I don't think any thing else is lined up for this week.

I left my job at the jym for another position (because of lack of work) at a small spa. Its been a week and a half at the spa and I have had one client.

I have a surgery and a course coming up in January and so it would be in my best interest to wait until after that is done to start looking, but part of me wants for just bail now.

I've spent six hundred dollars on creating a mailing and purchasing stamps and envelopes. I am irritated at the lack of progress, and I know that my frustration is being fed by stress about this upcoming surgery, weird drugs I'm going to be put on, and stress that the Hagis is going through at work.

I should be calmer and I shouldn't make any moves before the new year. Some things are easier said than done.

TMI - a step farther from the big "H"

Well all the tests are done and the results are in.

The good news is that we aren't looking at a hysterectomy. The bad news is that I am going to go in to surgery again.

The fibroid that was giving me all the problems six months ago is growing back. This time the Gynecologist has decided to put me on a drug called Lupron. Lupron will shrink the fibroid. Hopefully this means that this time the gyno can get most of it and it and it wont come back.

The problem with Lupron is that it will put me in to a chemically induced menopause.

I've been warned to expect hot flashes.

OH JOY.

Surgery is scheduled for Jan 13th. First Lupron shot for the end of this month.

should be interesting.
