I finally caved in and got a myspace account - [link] feel free to add me if you are on there - it seems pretty cool so far although it is NO DA

Check me out at [link] - I have some tshirts and other odds and ends for sale on there including the 04 cof mosaic as a t-shirt, framed or unframed print.

O.M.G. Have a look at this [link] How cool I made a
list!!

I haven't been posting too much in the journal about what it is I am going through medically but I have talked to people on a one on one bases and the responses and support that I have gotten from them has made a world of difference, so I decided to "go public" so people can understand what's been going on with me. As you all know I have been sick since November and battling back one type of antibiotic at a time. About a week ago i noticed I had an incredible amount of pain in my face, even my teeth and hair hurt. The pain got so severe I went to the doctor who informed me that my sinuses looked like "hamburger meat" and he promptly put me back on antibiotics and gave me something for the pain. The pain meds were good while they lasted but once they were gone the pain came back FULL force - and it drove me so mad that I went back to the doctor today, in tears. They just wouldn't stop falling from my eyes. After the Doctor checked me out he stated that my sinuses were packed and would most likely need to be manually drained (yuck). The Doctor then informed me that it was his medical opinion that I needed to be hospitalized TODAY for pain management and iv antibiotics. The hospitalization would be for 7 days and truthfully at this point in time, I can't spare 7 days so he doubled up on my antibiotics and gave me some percoset for the pain. I have till Tuesday to improve otherwise it's out of my hands.

I wanted to share this with you all because I know there are people who care who I think deserve to know thats happening with me.

Say a prayer for my sinuses and remember, love each other because life is so fragile and short. No time for hate or envy, just time to make sure your loved ones know you love them.

Special thanks to =gazzy-h, *celestialblue, ^zilla774 for getting me through this to this point, now I turn to you.
