Side effect or no side effect?

Visited TONS of doctors this week. Sheesh every day but today i was seeing someone! Though tonight is Reiki! yay!
Monday started out with a trip to the physiatry doc for my wierd tinglies in my legs, but only when I look down. She said yeah thats weird and sent me off to get a circulation function test (arterial dopple of the extremeties). Basically you lie there and they put 3 blood pressure cuffs on each leg and one on one arm as the base blood pressure reading. Then they just take readings from each cuff and listen to my heartbeat with a handheld sonogram thingy. (love my tech jargon haha) at two spots on each foot and the crook in my arm that they were taking the reading from. Thenthat was all. He said there's nothing major to report back to the doctor immediatly so she'll have the results on this coming monday at the latest. That test ws done on Wednesday. This coming Monday I'll see her for the nerve function test. Which i have no idea what it entails, but I just envision being poked by needles. eek!
Tuesday was a visit with the dermatologist. This is the gross part people... so she looked my side where a large cyst under my skin was getting very angry and red looking, then she shot some numbing juice in it and make a couple little slices into it. Then she pushed on it and drained some of the stuff out of it, blood and whatever else. She said it didn't look infected but would send it off to test it. I haven't heard back so I guess it wasnt. then she put a shot of steroids in it and a layer of antibiotic ointment and bandaged it. Now I see her on Tuesday this coming week. If it's shrunk and small enough she will cut it out and stitch it back up, if not she'll send me to a plastic surgeon to do it. Fun stuff...
Thursday was a checkup with the Oncologist and the radiology oncologist. Nothing big there, just go in say hi. Got the number again to schedule the port removal. He said if the dermatologist takes off the cyst, it's fine and I can still get the port removed. Told the radiaologist about the weird tinglies and he said it actually could be a sympton from the radiology since it was hitting my neck and spine. Something called Lhermittes syndrome. He said don't tell the other doc though. Let her run all her tests to be thurough. Sometimes if they find out it could be something else they won't be as aggressive, he said, so dont tell her lol
I guess should the other tests come back all negative, we'll figure it's this and will resolve on its own.
So that was alot of doc visits this week. ugh.
Also saw a very unwanted guest in my apt the other day...on my bed. Agggghhh a bedbug. I hate those little things. I hate movign into a place and barely a month later having them show up. I know the people on the 6th floor have them, i ran into them the other day and they mentioned it. Oh and they are the peopel that used to live in the apartment I'm in. So I'm guessing since they travel all the time, one of them picked them up from a hotel and deposited them into the apartment we now have and the one they have. Ugh sucks!!! So now we have to launder everything! Exterminator is coming on Monday to fog the place and I just ordered a box spring, matress and pillow encasements from protect-a-bed, which is supposed to be the best covers/encasements out there. We are trying to get the owner to cover the laundering costs, or we will just deduct it from out rent since our apartment was actually never cleaned or repainted after the people moved out, becuase they moved out the day we moved in as the upstairs place they were going in to wasn't dry til that morning. So we are arguing or well my roommate is arguing with the landlord.
So thats the excitment on my end of the world aaaaaaggggggggghhhhhh!!
have a good weekend

All moved in

I'm all moved in! Actually as of april 1 I've been moved in. Been a slow process of getting the apartment all together though. First thing is that it was never cleaned adn painted when we came, as teh people in it where finishing moving their last pieces of crap out as we started in. Reason: their lovely new renovated apartment 3 floors up had wet floors until that morning. Sucks for us especially since this place is in needs of some serious repair in places. It's had a couple major leaks, needs silicone caulking along with basebords, the paint is like 70 years of layers and chipping everywhere! I saw a mouse today. But that doesn't really bug me, I mean really tehy are everywhere. But we have cat...who just layed on the ground staring at it. Nice cat action there. Oh our landlord is dropping by this coming monday and tuesday and my roomie has a whole list of things that need to be attended to, and asking, should we get a cleaning crew in here and just have them bill the management company? Oh and an exterminator too?!
We went to Ikea yesterday and I got to pickup my little 4drawer dresser and nightstand. yay! I put them together today. Now all i have to do is fill them!
Oh and we got curtains for the living room, a new shower curtain and red bathmat and curtains for my room. I have some white blackout curtains hanging already, but these are nice sheer white with little teeennnyy tiny green flowers on them. I mean really teeny flowers. Cute though.
On the health front.... I was supposed to have had my port out this week, but I ended up getting a mild case of shingles and so that had to be postponed. The shingles showed up behing my ear first. The oncologist looked at it but I guess it was just starting and he thought it was just an irritation. Well 4 days later my shoulder started itching and i felt these bumps, yep it had showed up on the same side just down near my shoulderblade. But luckily like i said it was a mild case. The worst of it just felt like getting a neck hair caught in a necklace. So completely tolerable, and luckily my new roomy did not get chickenpox! Apparently ifyou've never had chickenpox (which she hasnt) you can get them from someone with shingles (although I think you have to directly touch them and she didn't so all was good). Now that they're cleared up I have to call and reschedule the port removal.
I have a physical on Wednesday night, which is good cause I want to get a bunch of things checked out. This weird tingly thing in my legs has been happening after I walk about 2 blocks and then if I look down, bend my neck down, it gets all weird tingly in my legs. So I'll bring that up. My back hurts and muscles are all tight constantly. Want to get my lungs and heart checked and run a diabetes test since it all runs in my family on both sides. Anywho, guess thats whats happening there.
Man my room is a mess, boxes still everywhere. Tomorrow off to see Sunday In The Park again. I love that show, then I'll probably come home and unpack a bit more!
ciao for now!
