Hey y'all, sorry i was just watching Paula Deen....
Any who, I know, I know, I suck at updating my blog, *coughcoughAnnacough* but alas here I am with an update.
So, I was online today just looking around and a thought pops into my head. Well not really pops because I have been thinking about this for a long time and it just reemerged in my mind but whatever...
I'm getting off topic here, I have been thinking about getting a tattoo for a few years (mom stop reading) and have been looking up if it is even possible, what with my having Lupus and all. Turns out it is a possiblity, but one should talk to your doctor and take the right precautions. So I am doing my thing and looking up flower meanings and got a few really good ones.
Wait I need to back the truck up a bit now. I was sitting with my sister a few months ago and she was talking about how she couldn't wait to get another tattoo (she wants to get some business, BIG business on her back but that is her story to tell) and she asked is I ever considered it. I was thinking a flower with June 2002 along the bottom, for when I was diagnosed with Lupus. I want a flower that means strength or wisdom, but I don't want it to be too cliche. And then we got into the whole 'is that a good idea, is it even possible' thing and at that point I hit my limit for the 'I don't think so, but you're grown' look for the day so I checked out of that conversation.
Now that yous' are up to speed, that brings me to today on one of my many 'I'm getting a tattoo dag nab bit' kicks and I stumbled across this blog and they were talking about Marijuana use in Lupus patients.
*Gasp* Yes, yes it is true, people out there are advocating the use of 'the marijuana' in us poor Lupus patients.
Now, I read the entire thing and the guy that wrote it, I really should have like, remembered where I got it from but I closed the window accidentally and I was just too lazy to go back and to try and figure out where the thing is so I am going off of my memory. And the guy kind of seems, emphasis on the 'seems' like he is on the up and up. But did mention that he has been a recreational weed user since the 1970s so don't quote me, but he said he called the Lupus Foundation and this lady said she agreed with him. Saying that marijuana is an immune system suppressant, which is very good for those of us whose immune systems are in "hyper-drive." At this point I am cracking up, like full on guffawing and my nephew is looking at me like I am on crack!!
I clicked on the link looking for advice for tattoos and end up getting advice about weed use for medicinal reasons. Which by the way, is legal in 38 states, maybe I could move to New Jersey for awhile. What do you think? I'm just saying, it's worth a shot right?
The woman who he called, her name is Dawn Isherwood and he said that she is has a wealth of knowledge and I am considering calling her! I have her number and everything. I didn't even know that there was a number you could call in order to speak to someone about your Lupus concerns besides my doctors. Who knew? Not. Me.
That's all for now....Laters Baby*
