Tomorrow's Test!

Well after all these Doctor's visits over the months and getting blood drawn for various tests I have my EEG tomorrow. I'm scared to death with a lot of anxiety and afraid they will find something yet at the same time I'm hoping they will find something so the Doctor's can fix me. I don't know how many times I can say I don't feel well and feel run down, fatigue and all other sorts. It's been really bad lately and my good days are getting farther in between. I keep it together because of the kids. It's bad enough my 3 year old knows Momma doesn't feel well all the time and it takes a lot of energy to get things done. The hubby has helped with cleaning and running down to the nearest McD's for dinner because I don't have the energy to make dinner some nights. I know lately the home cooked meals don't happen as often as I want but I don't want to burn out for my kids sake. You do what you have to do in a time like this. Even though it can be frustrating being so sick and rundown all the time but my kids need me to be there for them then sitting around feeling sorry for myself.

Oh well, maybe going down the Neurology aspect will get me some answers this time around of testing because my Hematologist needs to get his head out of the clouds and do more than watching my CBC numbers each month. Every few months I hear from him saying my anemia is stable and I'm thinking this guy is a moron and the reason I'm stable because I'm on a drug called Procrit. He's an idiot and will give him one last chance for him to give me answers. I will find a Hematologist who will listen to me and give me answers then being told I will have to live with this condition for the rest of my life because I say the (blank) with that. No way will I accept living my life like this for the rest of my life. I just need a smart Doctor to figure out what is wrong with me like Doctor House but without all the surgeries... :)

Oh, the bead business is coming along. I'm hoping to get some books this week about making jewelry and even getting some magazines. I'm really excited about going down this road and it will be a lot of fun. Okay, it will be a fun adventure. I promise to post some of my pieces here when I finish some. I guess when I have to sit and rest I won't be bored. Their is so much of Dr. Phil and Oprah you can watch when the kids are sleeping. Take care!

I am bead obsessive!

I am falling in love with the world of beads. I think I saved over 20 websites just about buying beads. At first finding these websites it was very overwhelming and I was thinking I was getting into something way over my head. I went to this one website called Stateside Bead Supply for some Magnetic Hematite Beads. I got more excited going through all the different colors and different shapes. I wanted to pull out my credit card and buy up all these beautiful beads and then I realized I don't have a book to learn how to make jewelry. I think I should wait until I know from a book and make sure when I do finally start making bracelets that they stay together. That would be funny not knowing how to keep a bracelet from falling apart. I really like the pink pearl beads and another one I like is the Preciosa Bohemian Cut Crystals like the Bicones. So beautiful colors and shapes. I have so many ideas and color combinations my head is spinning. I like the colors pink, blues and purples with the black or silver Hematite beads. They stand out so much. I like the magnetic strands bracelets because if you get bored with it as a bracelet you can unwind the strand and make a necklace from it or wrap it around your ankle. It's so versatile and you can change it up a little. I like the 3 tier wrap bracelets but unfortunately these bracelets don't unwind so it's what it is. My idea's for these bracelets are the same as the the magnetic strained bracelets but this Hematite bead is not magnetic. With the regular Hematite beads you basically only have a few options with color but the different shapes are amazing. I like the Swirl, Tube, and Drum shape style beads. These shapes give the bracelets some depth and I find these styles more unique than just the round beads.

WARNING: People with a pacemaker should not wear magnetic jewelry! Pregnant women should consult a physician before wearing magnetic items.

The only problem with my jewelry pieces they are not for everyone. It's a little disappointing but that's what I get for picking a bead I really love. Maybe down the road I'll find another stone bead I like just as much as the Hematite beads. Well I have a lot of research to do and reading to do before I jump into this project. I want to be prepared before I just jump into making jewelry. I think if I jumped into making pieces then I'm sure to get overwhelmed plus I want to find the right store for the best prices. I think the hubby would appreciate me finding the best deals on the good beads then spending a fortune right away and giving the hubby a heartache with a huge bill...lol
