Stomach problems

So I went to the doctor for my stomach problems about a month ago. She gave me a glucometer to use. She said to take my blood sugar any time I felt symptoms of hypoglycemia. After three weeks it was obvious that my stomach problems are not hypoglycemia. I would feel horrible and my blood sugar would be in the 80's or 90's. Hypoglycemia is considered to by below 70. I went back to the doctor yesterday and they're checking for H. pylori. It is a bacteria that can live in the stomach for years. It can live there forever if not treated. This bacteria is what causes ulcers. So, if this bacteria is what's been causing my stomach problems all this time that's good news, because it can be cured! Oh, this bacteria was discovered in the mid 1800's, linked to gastric disorders in 1899, proven to cause ulcers in 1981, and accepted by the medical community in 1994. Very interesting.

Moving and pet news

Well, we slept at our new place last night. We have most of our stuff moved in. All the big stuff and all the stuff that had been boxed up. We still have a few things that will require a van or a truck, and then the dreaded miscellaneous stuff. That's the worst. But on the plus side, at our new place we've had the windows open for the past 4 days. We slept with the windows open last night. KC came to the house with us last night. The dogs were at Frandy Oaks and the ferrets are still at the other house. We wanted to give KC a chance to explore before the others were there. I woke up in the middle of the night to very loud meowing. She was just walking around the house meowing. She might have just been happy to have the cone off of her head. I took her and Tuck (male ferret) to the vet yesterday. KC has a scab on the side of her face that's not healing, so the doctor gave her a cone so she couldn't scratch her face. I have never seen her sulk for so long and I've never gotten the evil eye from an animal before. Tuck went in because he had a bump on the tip of his tail. I thought it was an abysses. It's been there for about a month but it started getting bigger at the beginning of the week. Turns out it was a tumor. The doctor did a quick surgery and he seems to be fine. He never did act like he felt bad, which is good.

I took a picture of KC but it may be a few days before I get around to posting it.

That's all for now.

Oh, big thanks to our friends Jessica and Paul for all their help. Jessica painted an fed us and Paul moved large heavy objects, picked me up from the u-haul place, and helped Steven get the washer and dryer hooked up.

New Place to Live

Ok, this may be a bit impersonal, but I'm already tired of talking about buying a house. I figured the most people could find out this way. We did not get the house over by Daniel and Fanny. The lender had requested a closing date of the 6th. On Wednesday they were asking for more information so we weren't closing. Then on Thursday they were asking for more financial information. They still hadn't order the survey and they were having questions about the title and the appraisal. So we decided that we're through. Our realtor has been awesome though. He did more that I ever expected. I would recommend him to anyone. We definitely use him when we try again.

Friday I called around to a few places for rent that hubby had found. We went out to look at one and put down the deposit on Friday. We're going to be moved in by the time spring break is over. It is a double wide mobile home that is about twice the size of where we live now. The change in our rent is exactly the amount we had been paying for VA each month, but now don't have to. It is out in Reedville, behind the house I worked at when I worked with adults with brain injuries. All our animals are welcome and the lady seems really nice. I'm actually not disappointed about the house since we're getting to move. There are pictures of the house of Flickr. Oh, and now we can actually have people over!
