So last week I was diagnosed with PCOS. Through the ultrasound they found cycsts circling my ovaries that look like a strand of pearls. This is one of the symptoms. The bad thing about this disorder is that it effects all of your organs a great deal. Untreated it can cause uterine cancer, heart disease and if you have insulin resistance it can cause your pacreas to fail. So the first step I have done is get back on the good ole birth control so that we can regulate the monthly's and hopefully my hormones. Today I took a two hour insulin resistance test, which by the way tasted nasty and they took my blood four times.......four times people! Luckily the lady was the bestest at taking blood and my arms are not bruised. So I go back next Thursday to find out the results. Should they come back positive they will probably put me on metiform that will regulate my insulin and with healthy eating help me drop this weight a lot easier. You see, this insulin resistance thing makes you gain weight like crazy! And if you have seen my behind lately you know what I mean, it was starting to scare me. Just glad to know I don't have to be like that my entire life and can get back down to the little me I like to be. Good times! Oh, and tomorrow I get my wisdom teeth pulled, which I am looking forward to b/c one of them is annoying me seriously.
Looking forward to going to Houston on the 17th to see my family and take the boys to the museums. Super excited about my grandma moving there.
Jesse got a new calling as first counselor in the Elders Quarum. He is stoked about it and is looking forward to learning new things. He starts school again in August and as usual is just being the awesome person he is. (If he knew I wrote that he would laugh and them throw shame on me with his finger)
Ben got diagnosed with ADHD the other day and starts his medicine next week. One of the things that cracked me up when I was talking to the Dr. was when she asked me if he sits still when he plays games. I took a video of him the other day of him "playing a game." I will post it below. And of course the whole time we are in the office Jackson is trying to tackle Ben and I am sure she is thinking, "Oh, she will be back in a few years with that one." I so love my kids and how crazy they are, they make me laugh .....a lot!
Had an awesome crawfish boil and fireworks out at our house for the 4th. Really enjoyed spending time with all of our family and some of our friends. Made me really miss the ones that moved away, but we will see you again.
Hope everyone is doing well!
