So far I've noticed a few changes in my body: 1. I have lost 5 pounds and do not feel as bloated. 2. My pee smells different, can't quite explain it but it just does. 3.

Home Alone Dinner Experimenting

What does suck is that I have to fast for 12 hours prior to the test … Continue reading Blood Bank

A follow up to the Tears Aren’t Always Healthy post. I'm happy to report my tear ducts are clear! No surgery is needed. Yay! Basically, the doctor numbed my eye with drops, poked a needle around in the corner, then flushed it all down my throat. Bleh! It was weird. Ok it wasn't this bad but … Continue reading Tears Aren’t Always Healthy Follow Up
