SO I never wanted to post much on here about all the fun issues I had with my health in the past year. IT was an overwheleming year and I dind't wnat to look back at it. I was hopoing that this year would bring good health and that I wouldn't even have to write about it. Well it looks like it is still going on so I decided to give you a quick up date on my life and then let you know whats happening now. So in Dec of 2006..a year ago... I had an eye muscles surgery. It was horrible. I coudln't see and my eyes were not healed....needless to say I ended up having to have a second eye surgery to try to help correct different muscles. Several weeks later of miserable recovery and not being able to wear make up or contacts my health continued to go down hill. While all the eye surgeries were going on I was attending Physical Theraphy several times a week for my back. I have several disc issues and a pinched nerve. Well the Physical Theraphy wasn't helping so I had to have an MRI done and was referred to a Spine Specialist. Also I had to get my wisdom teeth out. I got horrible dry sockets with thoses that then resulted in a bone infection and I had one more oral surgery. So now I have had two eye surgeries and two mouth surgerious months of physcial theraphy and then the doctor decided to start doing shots in my back. THey do it as an outpatient surgery but it puts me out of commission for a few days. So at this point I have had three shots and still no help. Also during all this we have been trying to get pregnant again. Konwing that I have several issues getting pregnant this is a hard process in itself. I had a few outpatient procedures this year as well as visits to the University's Reproductive Physicians. Then come fall time I start suffering from horrible horrible headaches thatI can't get to go away. They had to do a ct scan but found nothing. They decided to try to put me on sleeping pills and some migrane medcine to see if that might help....of course they didn't tell us how pricey those pills were...but we got them anyways. We need me to be normal and happy and functioning. SO I have been taking them on and off and they seem to be helpign some. Well the past week has been no good with all my head problems. Last night I went to bed pretty early with another killer headache. And lo and behold I wake up this morning with a very painful eye that is alsmot swollen shut. It hurt so bad and all I wanted to do was cry. I was supposed to be meeting my friend at a craft store so I just put on my glasses and got up and went. .... not a good option....While we were at teh store I realzie how scary it was that I had driven myself there and that something was really wrong and I needed to get it taken care of. So thank you Lauri for taking me to my sisters house to in return take me to Jared and our car. I went to the eye doctor and found out I have a virus in my eye. HE put me on some expensive eye drops and I have to go back in the morning for a folow up. I just keep thinking Can it get any worse? WE have had our share of medical issues. I guess to some they would be nothing but I have been so overhwhelmed by all this we have gone through and are going through. I guess that my eyes are going to take a few weeks to heal so I will have to deal with that. THen next week I am schedule to have another shot in my back...this one will be right in the nerve and if it doesn't work my only other option is to be referrred for back surgery. SO Please keep me in your prayers. I need all these medical issues to stop so I can be normal again. I am so overwhelmed by it all and I am realizing I can't do it any more. SOrry to vent I never was goign to put this on here but there you have why my life has been crazy and why I have tons of medical bills now....The only good thing I can say that happen ed to me in 2007 was that fact that I have lost over 32 pounds and I am keeping it off!
Once again sorry if you read this far of my sappy life. I know to everyone else they probably won't even think I shoudl be complaining but I guess we all have our own trials in life for a reason.
AS for now my eye is killing and I can barely look at the computer screen nor open it so I hope this makes sense. Tkae care and Have a good weekend!

Wow. I don't think you should feel bad for venting. In fact, I'm amazed that you went for a whole year without doing it! I'm sorry for all the struggles - hopefully this year will start to get better soon!
Katie, I will definitely include you in my prayers. I'm sorry that things are rough right now! Keep your head up and read Abraham 2:8.
You should have vented sooner. That's what friends are for.
