Ok so here I am a new member wondering exactly what I should write into a bio that would let you guys know who I am so I guess I'll just write off the top of my head...
here goes
My name is Carol.... you already knew that..... I live in Manitoba in Canada......I'm 40 years old... and fighting the numbers all the way... I feel 30 so why can't I stay 30?????
I have 3 sons.....I refer to them as Peaches... Snuggles and Cuddles... Peaches is Matt.... he will be 20 in October.... he lives with his partner on their own now .... he works at IBM and is just doing soooo well.....
Snuggles is Scott.... he'll be 18 in October.... and well he's my troubled child... we've had some issues with drugs and school and stuff with him....we're on the right track now so cross your fingers that it keeps up.... he's doing grade 12 again this year and he lives with me....
Cuddles is Joel.... he'll be 15 next week..... we have to keep reminding him that he's neither a gansta or a rapper....LOL.... he's living with his dad for a year.... it's rough but it's just a year....
I married my high school sweetie 3 years ago... we reconnected online at classmates.com....we always said we'd get married after high school we just never knew it would be 20 years!!!!!!.... we split up in high school and went on to marry other people and have kids and it was just a fluke that we caught each other single... well I shouldn't say single..... we were both dating other people.. ooops....
I am almost finished a degree .... my BA in Native studies with a double minor in Psychology and General Sciences.... but I can't pass a math class to graduate..... darn math requirement..... but I start a practical nursing course in Jan so I'm hoping to feel well enough for that.... what I'm really hoping for is that I can come off some of these meds so I feel human and not so zombie like and maybe actually do well in school.... there is also a math requirement so if I pass it ..... it will do as my math requirement for my BA also.....
my complete medical history....
I have arthritis... possible FMS... no real DX yet..... cartilage and metal fragments in my knee....
I have an anxiety/depressive disorder with bi polar traits.... IBS..... arthritis.... the anxiety meds caused me to gain 60 lbs... so now I have a fatty liver and enlarged liver.... which actually causes pain... the enlargement... I am now 100lbs overweight..... which causes the arthritis in my knees to act up.... but with the cartilage/metal fragments I can barely walk at times.... much less exercise......so it's a vicious circle I'm on....
I see my ortho surgeon on the 25th of Sept.... and we'll discuss surgery then.... because now it's imperative that I lose the weight as it's affecting my liver
as well as that I've had what appears to be the flu for the past 6 weeks.... aches and pains... sore throat... sore ears ..... headaches..... nausea and diarrhea.... so I just feel awful on most days.... there was a question of West Nile Virus... but no testing done....
you know what really sucks..... I did most of a BA as a single parent and got good grades.... but now can't even pass a stupid math course.....because of the pain I can't concentrate enough.... and I think I'm going to go back to school???? I must be nuts......LOL
sorry for the length I tend to ramble ..........you'll learn that about me.....LOL
