Not what they told me to expect

My post surgery treatment plan includes a 2 part series of injections that last a total of 6 months. The whole point of these injections is to stop me from having periods so that the endometriosis doesn't grow back. 2 weeks into the first injection and I had a period. "Oh, well it takes about 4 weeks for the injection to actually take effect." Even though I just had a period 2 weeks ago? Weird, but whatever. 2 months in and I have had a period every 2 weeks, like clockwork, without fail. Umm, doesn't that defeat the whole purpose??? I go back in a month for my second injection but guess what, not going to take it until I get some answers. At the rate I'm going I'll be back in the O.R. by my birthday. Hrmph!

In other news, I made significant progress on debt and the month is not even half over. I paid $400 on my surgery bill leaving me with only $256 before I kick it out the door. I was hoping to pay that all on Friday but I need to get the windshield on my truck replaced so I will have to slow the payment down just a little. Nothing to sweat though since it's still going to be paid off a whole month early anyway!

After class today I went to Target with the intention of buying my own scale. We only have one scale in this house and it is inconveniently located for my access. By the time I am able to get to it, it's well past when I woke up and I am fairly certain I'm not getting an accurate reading. Not a problem anymore. So I brought it home, entered my information, turned it on and held my breath. 274 lbs, a horrid 50% body fat, and only 35% water. So I'm dehydrated and I am as much fat as anything else. I'm not panicking. That only means that, while it's disgusting, I can only improve from here.
