My Megace Adventure

I'm going to take you on a little adventure. It's called the adventure of megace. Megace can be your lifesaver but at the same time it can be your worse enemy. Two simple little white pills. Pop 2 in the AM, pop 2 in the PM. That's it. That's all it takes to join this fun adventure. Megace is prescribed for many, many reasons. An appetite stimulant in those with challenges such as maintaining weight, no appetite, cancer, etc. It can be prescribed to combat endometrial dysplasia or cancers of the lady parts. I am sure it has many other uses as well. Here's where my adventure begins. Here are my side effects of megace and when all is said and done, why I will never take it again. I will consider a hysterectomy over megace. I am 3 months into my story on megace. Everyday is a struggle, a challenge. Remember I said, it's simply 2 little white pills in the AM and 2 in the PM..so that's not too much of a struggle. The struggle comes from the personality change, the horrible mood swings, the hot flashes, the night sweats, the anxiety, the constant need to have something food related in your mouth, not being able to get enough to drink, the weight gain, the having to get up in the middle of the night to pee and occasionally change your clothes because you are soaked. And those are just the big ticket items. The smaller items include breaking a crown from having to constantly be chewing on something, lack of sex drive-I mean zero, nada, nilch, the general overall feeling of demise, blah and ugh. Everyday when I swallow those simple 2 little white pills, I have to remind myself of the end goal, that I can get thru this. My health is at stake, my ability to have children is at stake. I have come too far on my infertility journey to stop now and just give up. 3 months ladies and gents. 1/2 way there yet still a long 3 months to go.

the dream swing 2013

Joe Beal from Bend, OR is an awesome friend of ours that we met during our journey to Burning Man in 2012. Not only was it our virgin journey to the Playa but it was Joe's as well. For a virgin going to Burning Man, he made quite an impression. You see, Joe built a 20 foot tall pink swing for people to play on on the playa. It had lights, it had a heart, it was PINK, it had a swing for you to play on. It became a beacon for travellers as they could view it from across the playa and know that if they followed the swing they would be close to 9:30 & Esplanade; close to PINK HEART camp and close to their destinations.

So I hope that you will check out Joe's Indiegogo fundraiser and video (link above) and consider helping Joe bring the PINK DREAM SWING to Burning Man 2013 in it's new & improved form. Taller, More Seating, More Lighting, More places to stop along the intergalatic journey of life.

RIP Miss Lucy

Yet another one of our critters has crossed the rainbow bridge.

Miss Lucy has been my friend since we brought her here in 1999. She was a shy, timid cat who took to me and I felt very honored.

Today, Miss Lucy honored me once again by allowing me to be with her while she journeyed across the rainbow bridge.

She was just some of these things:
 -my storm buddy
 -my morning shower buddy
 -my climber
 -my mouse catcher
 -my sit on the scale until you check my weight.

She taught my husband to give her wanted she wanted. Be it treats, food, water or turning on the sink faucet for a drink. She taught him well.

Thank you for all you have given me. The light in me honors the light in you.
