Well dr said, I'm not bleeding anymore so that is good. Not anemic.. .also good! Have to see a gi guy to find out what is going on however. Dr gave me another medicine to take. Hopefully this will be temporary! Went online and found out that Mom's GI is on my ins plan... YAY!!!!! he is a real peach. Will call him tomorrow to see when I can set up an appt AFTER my next payday. Too many bills!!!

Mel.... it's just growing pains... lol

I am glad you are going in Ruthie. I hope you don't take anything to cause the bleeding...like ibuprophen and plavix...i don't know if you are on plavix but, that can cause it too. i haven't had a chance to read all about it...i have been watching. worried face...i am sure that the dr's have checked to see what drugs could be upsetting or possibly causing the bleeding. I realize you aren't bleeding anymore but, good to find out why..
Not anemic is good...chrons and celiac..humm. Meaning, i doubt you have those issues because you are not anemic..phew

Thanks! Yes I understand about the body aches. I have an issue with my right knee and I hobble around sometimes like I'm 80 years old or something.

Oh God...I wonder what I'm going to feel like when I'm 80???

I was soooo happy that I could dance as much as I wanted. And I wasnt in too much pain the next day. Maybe its because I wore somewhat sensible shoes. (and the alcohol?)

I can't believe I'm happy I wore sensible shoes. Gah!

It may be an ulcer. I have cronic reflux (born with it) so all that extra acid could be causing the trouble. I also have celiac but have been wheat free for about 6 years, so I shouldn't be having trouble there. Of course, it could have caused damage the rest of the 40 plus years I didn't know I had it.

Anyway, got an appt for October 18th so I will find out more then. I'm sure I will end up with tests, but at least we may find out what is going on!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Thanks Little Feather... I hope we all get well too!

Question for the butches:

Had a great time at the dance. Met (actually remet) a nice butch woman. She seems sweet and assertive ...2 traits I admire in a butch. We danced a couple slow dances..we dance well together. That doesn't always happen. She is a little older than I usually would date, but her smile and personality drew me right away. I had seen her at Sister Space, but I was busy chasing someone and she was busy chasing someone.. lol sooooooooo .. we never got to know each other better. She just got home from the dance and already sent me an email and asked me to go out with her this week. How about THAT!! Nice to have someone want to be with you that much! Now the question is , do I contact her tonight..or be a little coy and girly and wait a day? Ok Butches... advice please. I don't want to appear too anxious, but I don't want her to feel like I'm not interested. What do you think?

Not to derail but this made me smile. I haven't been to the Weekend in a dozen years since the timing is terrible for me (right after school starts) but I was heavily involved with SisterSpace and the Weekend for many, many years when I lived in Philadelphia. In fact, a moment at a SisterSpace weekend features prominently in my stories of coming into my own Femme identify. So glad to hear of someone who is still going there - and glad to hear that there are butch/femme chasings and sightings going on!!

Ok, when you email or text someone, do you want them to respond when they can, or wait until they get around to it? It's one thing to not check your messages, but another to ignore them. You received the message, so why not respond to it?

Ya Mel, 2 out of 3 butches said to email her (sorry little feather) so I did. Seems like the right move. Found another lovely email from her this morning. We shall see how it all turns out.

Have a wonderful Monday friends!!!
