O is for Overdramatisized
2010-02-04 23:53:01
Seems like I created a little more drama in my life than really is. I re-read a lot of what I just posted and while it's all true, I think I painted a picture more dramatic than it really is. Lol...
Anyway, I'm doing complaining about arthritis for a while. I need to complain about something more important..
WHY THE HELL HAVE WE NOT BATTLED VOLKNER IN THE POKEMON ANIME YET! HE IS THE MOST ANTICIPATED GYM LEADER THE SEASON HAS!
But no, his battle is coming up shortly and I'm very happy about this. It means the annual pokemon league and grand festival is just over the horizon. Like I've said many a time, Pokemon is the only anime I watch nowadays. So just feign happiness for me ok? Lol...
oh, and I have another depressing Fruits Basket video in teh works. Well, I've got a storyboard written out. Don't plan on actually editing it until AFTER the Street Fighter MEP segment is done. And it must be awesome. =O -
E is for Editing / D is for Day

I've decided to quit getting beta testers for my videos. Or at least, not until the entire product is completed. Because... While I don't mind constructive critisim, I think people picking at every aspect of the video and tearing it down just kills my motivation on it. For example, I had a beta test of a Buso Renkin video a few weeks back. I had about 7-8 people respond and beta test it for me.
5 of them were very helpful, pointing out scenes that weren't synced right, places that felt off or two long, and giving me general feedback on where the video needed to go. They were polite about it, pointing out areas that needed help.
But 2 of them... Well, they weren't very polite about it. They were both newcomers, so I wasn't surprised I wouldn't get anything REALLY constructive about it, but it still hurt. >___>

Well, the day was kind of mixed results.
For one, my liver tests came back not as good as the doctor wants, so I'm having to go on a small dosage of injections for a week before I can start the new arthritis meds. This way, my liver doesn't shut down when I start. >___>
But I went ahead and was given the prescription, and I can start it in 2 weeks.
Then came the insurance battle...
In which I was surprised because there was none. xD
No seriously, I called them up and the lady on the phone was very nice, very reasonable and amazingly simple. Gave my prescritpion, faxed the tests and doctor information to them, and they did the routine questions, but didn't fight me or anything. They should be coming in the mail in 2 weeks, just in time for me to start them.
I'm... A little nervous. During the consultation, he informed me that these can make me very ill, very tired and like a zombie for the first two doses, which is basically an entire month. This might be very bad for my grades, because I'm already exhausted all the time. >___<
Not to mention, I will have ZERO immunity with this medication. Which means I will probably get sick frequently. Gah...
But I have faith. [Note: If you're not big on religion, skip the paragraph that's coming.]
God helped me through the day, and I thank everybody that offered me prayers through pm yesterday. It was nice to have your support. :) I haven't been a real God-person in the last few months with all the pain the arthritis has been giving me. I was just selfish, thinking "WHY ME". I'll just leave it in His hands and hope for the best. I'll just pray this medicine is the miricle I need that gets rid of all my pain and help me get my life back on track...
So just a couple of weeks and the day of judgement comes down. Wasn't today like I thought it would be, but it's still very close. :) - N is for Neltu 2010-02-03 22:36:05 DAMNIT! I SOUNDED LIKE THE PEDO FROM FAMILY GUY SAYING THAT!

B is for Big Deal
2010-02-03 21:25:24
Tomorrow is a big deal. I get the prescription for the heavy-duty meds. Er.. More so, it's me going to the doctor for the final round of blood tests and general discussion about the meds and the "dos and do nots".
My doctor assures me one of the following things will happen.
1) I will get a lot better with my arthritis and can probably actually physically run and walk again without limping. I can also start working out again. I can also function as a normal human and not be in constant pain and agony...
2) Nothing will change. Not what I want....
3) The side effects of the medication will make me sick as a dog and I could possibly have to go detox in a hospital for a week.
I could [for those of you out there that do] really use some prayers.
My body just feels like it can't go through much more before I have to start taking a cane to school. At 20, I'm a freaking old man.... I don't want that anymore... I want to be the young person that I am! I want to be able to go work out, I want to be able to go out and run around town with my friends. I want to not be asleep nearly 15 hours of my 24 hour day!
I've just lost a lot of faith in medical science over the past year. I could really use a boost in confidence in that department...
And let's not forget that I'm about to have a huge fight with my dad's insurance company over all of this. They don't want to pay, they have to pay, they LEGALLY have to pay thanks to my doctor twisting their arm, but I know they are going to put me through hell tomorrow afternoon. Last time I dealt with them, I nearly cried over the phone out of aggravation and the poor attitude they had.
Hell, these are people that dubbed insulin for diabetics as a "medical supply" and not a "medicine", so it's not covered.
I expect a fight.
Tomorrow will just be judgement day I suppose. Expect an extraordinaryily long post tomorrow I'm betting in the late afternoon.
