General Hospital: Night Shift

So, anyone who knows me knows I LOVE me some General Hospital! But what some people don't know is that General Hospital now has a prime-time spin off show called General Hospital: Nightshift.

It has some of the same characters from the daytime show and some new characters and it mostly centers around the hospital at night and the different cases that come into the hospital and the drama between doctors and nurses, etc. whereas GH during the day isn't always at the hospital. Also, unlike the daytime show which airs everyday and never ends and doesn't have repeats. Nightshift is once a week on Tuesday nights and has 13 episode seasons that air on soapnet. The shows also match up with each other so sometimes they will refer to the other show and vice versa to have story lines coincide.

Anyway my point is (I promise I have one) I watch both shows but we don't have soapnet here so I can't watch it on Tuesday nights I have to wait until someone post the show on youtube and then I watch it. So this morning as I was doing my morning treatments/vest I watched the show from this week....and guess what one of the main storylines was about?? That's right CF! Let me tell you I thought it was a joke, I really would have thought they would have done a little more research than they did before airing a story like that. Oh well.

If anyone is interested in checking it out, here it is. They can't upload the whole show at once so you have to watch it in 6 different clips but that isn't to bad. If you watch it let me know what you think!

My Belly Hurts!!!

Well not much to report this week....Monday I worked out, that was good. But other than that all I have been doing is working.

The last three days though I am ok all day (because I am just sitting in my bed working on the laptop) and then when 4:00 rolls around and I get up and moving my stomach starts hurting, and it isn't just a plain old run of the mill stomach ache its a stabbing, double over in pain only helps if you are laying on your tummy kind of pain! When I was 20 I had my appendix taken out so I know that isn't it but its hurting right in that general area. I know it isn't cramps either because thats already passed. Any suggestions??

It really hurts but I feel dumb calling my DR. or going to the ER because my stomach hurts! Another day of this and I am not sure if I can take it...I am gonna borrow my mother-in-laws heating pad tomorrow if it happens again. I just thought of it now and its to late to go next door and get it for tonight (its 10:45pm) so I will just have to deal with ibuprofen . I am hoping tomorrow will be good, my work is having a training class at 5:15 and I really want to go so think good thoughts that I am up for it.

Oh BTW...last night we rented What Happens in Vegas with Ashton Kutcher and Cameron Diaz. VERY cute movie...a little predictable, they hate each other then fall in love...yada, yada...but still a good movie and you should check it out! Also, 4th season of Entourage is out on DVD and we are already on the 3rd disk...awesome show check it out if you haven't already (it airs on HBO) we love it.

Well, I guess that's it...Friday I work out again and hopefully we will be seeing my parents on Saturday. If anything really exciting happens I promise to let you guys know! Good Night.

Couple pics from Saturday night!!

I only have a couple from my camera that are good the others are of people singing karaoke so they aren't that great.

Here is one of me and Danny at Chilli's...two for one baby!!

This one is of me and my two cousins...the one with the long hair lives here by me and the other is my cousin Maria who was here visiting from NY....I miss her already!!

CF and Dating

The last couple of days I have been thinking about this topic a lot. Now I know I don't have this particular problem anymore since I am luckily married, but truth be told...I never had a problem with these two things.

I have read a few blogs lately, both girls, who write about how hard it is to date and have CF...how guys find it difficult to deal with there health or don't want to get serious because of there health and while I read both the blogs on a regular basis and wish that some day they both find somebody as awesome as my Danny (if that's possible!!) I can't completely relate to what they are going through.

Before I met my husband, I had a handful of serious boyfriends starting all the way back to my high school boyfriend when I was 17 and not to mention the guys that weren't that serious in between my CF was never even a main topic it was just something I had to deal with....some of the "not so serious" ones in between didn't even know anything was different. I guess maybe because I wasn't really that sick when I was a teenager/ young adult it was different for me I don't know.

I am not sure why I am even writing this tonight....luckily I didn't have to go through anything like that and to put the cherry on top I also found the most wonderful man in the world who loves me, all of me, CF and all. I just hope others out there find their special someone too.

Sad...

My cousin left tonight....it sucks, the next time I will probably see her will be after my surgery when she comes to help take care of me (she is a nurse practitioner.)

Other than that, I have NOTHING going on. I swear my life is so in a rut. I wake up exactly the same time everyday (excluding weekends when I usually sleep in an extra hour) work for exactly the same amount of hours, cook dinner, go to bed and start it over the next day. I don't think it would be so bad if I could actually GO to work but working from home is SO lonely!! The weekends are usually a little better we see a few friends go to dinner one night but nothing spectacular.

I have been looking for a puppy to get so at least I have a pal to play with during the day but I haven't found one yet. I just need to hurry up and get my transplant so I can get on with my life and actually feel like a productive member of society!!

ok....enough sorrow for one evening!! I am off to watch General Hospital. :)
