Stella the Sella

Well I had my ever so exciting MRI this morning. I managed NOT to freak out even though I came dangerously close to having a panic attack once I went in. There was a wash cloth over my eyes but I could see through the bottom and all I could see was the ceiling of the MRI tube and that about sent me over the edge! I just focused on breathing and chanted peace be still in my mind and luckily the Lord calmed me down.

No sooner had I gotten back to work and sat down at my desk, did the DR call with my results! 45 mins after the MRI! I was impressed!!

Well the good news is that I do not have a tumor. They were pretty sure I had a tumor on my pituitary gland. So I don't have a tumor, but I do have a growth there, a Stula (or at least thats what it sounded like. The nurse mumbled!!) which I have had since birth most likely and its benign and I don't have to do anything about it.

I have named her Stella the Sella.

Sadly, they have not yet figured out why my hormone levels are so low and why I am so sick and miserable all the time.

I go into the cancer center for a 3 hour growth hormone stimulation test sometime soon. Just waiting on them to call and schedule it. Hopefully that will give us some answers.

I am kind of down about this, granted I wasn't looking forward to having surgery but I was looking forward to feeling better and actually getting a chance to LIVE my life and not be so sick and miserable and just getting by most of the time.

My Mom, in her infinite wisdom, knew how down I was and sent me this wonderful email. I love my mom!!

Just wanted to say God does answer prayer just not always in the way we expect. God has great things for you in his time frame. All things we face and go through are for his glory and for our growth. Not always easy but strengthens us to be the strong believers we need to be. This is from my own experience and on going growth even at my old age status.
Love,
Mom

January Recap

  Tap, Tap, Tap. Is this thing on? No, your eyes aren't deceiving you, I'm back blogging after almost a year of not posting anything. I did a month long Prayer and Fasting with my church and abstained from Social Media (more about that to come) and during that time I realized I really missed blogging! So here I am! Clearly I'm rusty at this because I managed to upload my pictures in the opposite order, and I'm too lazy to go through and move each and every one of them, so we are going to look back at the month of January from the end to the start! Let's go! The Last day of January was a busy one. Well for me at least, after spending most of 2022 on my parents couch, inbetween surgeries, doing anything is busy for me. I had a piano tuning for Old faithful, my new to me baby grand, so I hung out in my bedroom while my tuner was there, and worked on my laptop. Before that I had my 1 year Brow touch up with Marissa at Lafayette Microblading. It had actually been over a

This is My Love Story

In the predawn hours of New Years Day 2004 I was faced with a choice. After spending New Year's Eve at a local bar with a friend, I came home and through the events that transpired, I saw clearly a vision of my future. What would happen to me if I continued on the path I had been taking. I had a choice to make and within a split second I knew what my answer was going to be. I grew up in a Christian home. I was saved at an early age. When I was 13/14 on my Birthday Sunday, Pastor Martin preached a sermon about those of us who had been saved at an early age and knowing if your salvation was real or not. I spent the rest of the day and my party tormented because I could not remember what was in my heart when I was younger. That night I gave my life to Christ and knew without a shadow of a doubt that I was his, and going to Heaven. In the years that followed I continued to be very active in church. I played the Piano and was in charge of Sunday night offertory, I was t

Frugal Friday- (Some) Tips and Tricks on how I get the most bang for my buck

(Shoutout to Ollies for the perfect Picture for this blog post) Remember when it was January and I said I was going to blog more this year? Well, it's now December, and I haven't blogged since January so clearly that goal went out the window.  BUT! I am here blogging today to share something I'm passionate about! And that is SAVING MONEY! And spending the least amount of money on things. Listen, the lower the price of something is, the more I like it.  I was waxing poetic about this subject to a friend on Marco Polo this week and decided that I felt the need to share it with the world. So, world, (or the three people who read my blog) You're Welcome. Sidenote: These are just some of the ways I stretch my dollars and get money back from purchases. Some of these have referral codes that if you join from them I get some sort of a reward, and some don't have codes, or I'm just not cool enough to know where to find them. Use the code, don't use the code, but plea
