Hey guys!

So, I just ate the last of my bread, last night, for supper. I made a sandwich of Turkey Burgers... on two slices of bread... it was all I had left. I don't get my Food Stamps till Friday, and it's only Monday... and then I have to find someone who can take me to the grocery store, so I can actually get said food... Would anybody be able to help me out, please? Ugh... I sound like a freakin' beggar... Sorry you guys... I really hate asking for help... like I said in a previous journal, it's not humbling, it's humiliating...

And, as promised in the Title, I have some small updates for you.

I have been diagnosed with mild Mitral Valve Regurgitation, which means that one of the valves in my heart, isn't closing properly, when my heart beats... causing the blood, to flow back, in the wrong direction, occasionally. It's not too serious, at the moment, but if it continues to get worse, I will have to have surgery to repair it. It worries me, because my Mom's valves were all completely shot, when she passed away, nearly 6 months ago. At least they've caught it, with me, and we'll continue to keep an eye on it. I still haven't gotten the results back, from when I was wearing the C.A.M. Event Monitor, 2 weeks ago. I expect to hear back, sometime this week, to find out if my heart is the reason I keep getting super dizzy, and passing out, or nearly passing out. My Blood Pressure has been fairly normal, for the last week or so, but my heart still races, and my heart feels like it's "fluttering" from time to time, causing me to need to lie down, and rest. This is no r at all convenient, as I am still trying to get my house in order, and get thing clean, and orderly, so I can get my furniture in here, from my Mom's house. It's difficult enough trying to do all this, on my own, without feeling terrible while doing it.

Also, I had my appointment with the GI Specialist on May 4th, and I am now scheduled for a Diagnostic Endoscopy & Colonoscopy, on June 4th... I have to be on a clear, liquid diet, starting June 1st, so that I can be completely cleaned out, when I have the procedures done. Thankfully, I will be completely sedated with General Anesthesia, so I won't actually feel the procedures. I would be completely freaking out, if I had to be awake through them. So, I'm going to put Gatorade on my list, since I have to drink plenty of fluids, from June 1st through the early hours of June 4th. I have to drink that Miralax stuff, so that it will completely empty my digestive tract of any and all waste, before the tests. And I've tried to drink that stuff with water before, and it is really disgusting. I don't know how anyone drinks that stuff in just water... and that's usually all I ever drink! I've never been much of a soda drinker - I don't like how the carbonation feels. But I have learned to tolerate drinking Gatorade, as I tend to end up dehydrated fairly often, with my electrolytes all out of whack.

So... yeah... here's my Amazon List, if any of you feel led to help me out: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/...../15DW12GP4JKXK

Thanks so much guys, and thank you for reading!
