Racism

I received the following messages from a former friend Alex on April 26, 2014. The same day the infamous Donald Sterling recordings came out.

I called the police and made an official report after the message below:



He began the conversation pretending to be his girlfriend. None of this makes any sense. The spelling and grammar mistakes are just sad. These are only a few of the messages he sent me...













Disappointed,

Mila Kunis - Girl Crush

One of my favorite movies is "Friends with Benefits". If you haven't seen it you should immediately!! Mila Kunis and Justin Timberlake are the stars. It's hilarious, sexy, and makes me smile every time I watch it. I also have a HUGE crush on Mila. She's funny and gorgeous. I think we should be friends in real life. Lol.

Relaxing,
Monica

Medical "Professionals"

‎*Letter sent to my PCP's office. Names have been changed.

On Monday I went to my appointment with Dr. Golf. I sat in the waiting room for an hour. I was brought back to the examination room where I sat and listened to the doctor talk to a patient about golf and family members for 45 minutes.

I left the examination room and explained to the nurse why I was going home. Still in very bad pain I called the Cleveland Clinic and was given an appointment with a surgeon Dr. Young  for Tuesday.
When I arrived at the Cleveland Clinic the nurse took me immediately back, took my vitals and my BP was 200/93. Twice.

Dr. Young came in looked over my information and told me ‎my blood pressure was dangerously high and he wouldn't be able to do anything for me until my pcp got it under control.

I give up. ‎Please let Dr. Love know what is going on. Thank you.

**I'm documenting all of this in case someone finds me dead at my house. Enough is enough. This pain is unbearable.

***Update. Had to have a HIDA scan of my gallbladder at the hospital on April 25th. My gallbladder failed and I finally will have surgery to remove it next week! If you know something is wrong inside your body don't give up. You know you better than anyone. Special thanks to Mary Anne @Mappy52. You rock.

Vindicated,

Attack of the Gallbladder

Hyperbole and a Half: Boyfriend Doesn't Have Ebola. Probably.



This has been one of the worst weeks in my life. My gallbladder has decided to break up with me. I'm totally cool with it except for the horrific pain I am in. The above blog post and pain chart above made me laugh until I cried.

Back in the Day

I've been going through my diaries from high school for the past couple of days. Grades 9-12 were some of the best times of my life. I lived for school, my friends and most importantly boys!!! I wish I could build a time machine and go back to my senior year. Ahh, memories :).

*My senior prom dress.

Besos,

Savella

Beware of the prescription drug Savella. I began taking it the third week of March. My doctor gave me a starter pack to slowly introduce the medicine into my system. Everything started out great for the first two weeks.

The beginning of week three I started to feel really sick. I thought I had a horrible case of the stomach flu. I was so sick I wanted to die. My stomach even hurt to the touch.

I broke down and went to my doctor on the following Monday. I told her I had been having headaches, severe stomach issues, major anger/rage incidents, and my heart rate was sky high.

My doctor wants me to take the lowest effective dose. I'm scared of Savella. I'm scared of the awful side effects. Today was the first day I have gone without a dose. I've been able to keep food and water down.

I honestly don't know what to do. The medicine reduced my leg pain and I lost 8 lbs the three weeks I took it. I need some advice. Por favor.

Concerned,
Monica
