About Me

Massachusetts, United States
I am 41 years old. I have been married to my husband for 15 years. We have a son who was born in April 1996. We live in Central Massachusetts with our dog Maggie (a black lab we adopted from the animal rescue league) and our cat Sam (a stray that adopted us) I graduated from college with a BFA in Theatre in 1993 (hence the name) and for a few years pursued a career as an actress. Then life took over and I got married, had a baby and decided to get a "real" job. In November 2004, I was diagnosed with Young Onset Parkinson's disease. In December 2004, I was hospitalized for surgery to remove an ectopic pregnancy. In December 2009, I was laid off from my job. In June 2010, my son was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome at the age of 14. Stick around to see what happens next!

Today would have been my due date

So, I am actually doing much better than I thought I would be. I am not overly distraught. I'm just a little sad. I know everything happens for a reason. I really am trying (and succeding I think) to live in the here and now. Not it the what might have been.

I've been depressed this past week. I think my hormones are all out of whack. The past three cycles have been so weird. The first I bled like crazy the first day and then just spotting the next four. Then the 2nd month, I just spotted for 6 days. Then I went 40 days before I got my next period. And I bled pretty much normal. I had one day (the first I think) where I had really, really bad cramps. I passed a really weird looking clot. Kind of greyish purplish in color and about the size of a silver dollar. Not sure what to make of that.

Anyway, I am hoping to get back on track with my diet & exercise. I need to become determined about it and just do it. I need to take control. God willing, I'll be able to.

That's it for now. Talk to you later.
