Happy Birthday To Me

If you have been reading my posts, you know things have not been going great for me lately, yes, things could be a lot worse, but things could be better too! On the eve of my 27th birthday, I reflect on 26, boy did it suck!
Ok, I have my 2 gorgeous kids, my husband, my family and my career, all of that is great, healthwise I have been a mess. Can you believe that before 26, I was never sick, never had any medical condition, the most serious thing that ever happened was my planned c-section with L. The first time I ever called a doctor was when I was pregnant with her, about 7 or 8 weeks along, it was around lunchtime, and I had thrown up 5 times already. I was on the bathroom floor at school, crying, not knowing how I was going to make it through the next 32 weeks! But I digress!

So before 26, things were peachy. Then came 26, with 26 came my first mortgage and down-payment, so a lot of what happened early on was attributed to stress. Luckily, nothing was too serious, but the shear amount of non-serious things was enough for me to will 27 to come sooner!

26 started with what I thought was a splinter in my foot, turned out to be a (gross) wart, so I had my first podiatrist appointment. Then came my Crohn's diagnosis, a week later I broke my toe (first broken bone ever), a UTI (first ever), hip pain right, hip scope right, hip pain left, Crohn's flare-up, diagnosis of gallstone, hip scope left, right hip pain.

So tomorrow 27 will start, and hopefully all of this will go away. I have lately become obsessed with checking my insurance explanation of benefits, which basically tells me what a doctor billed, and how much was paid, would you believe that in the last 6 months there have been 59 claims submitted under my name, and my most recent surgery has not been submitted yet! I know 80 year olds with less medical issues!!! May 27 be a better and brighter year!!!
