Thrift Shopping Fun Day
Working hard this weekend to get over my fatigue and my feelings of being overwhelmed. Took some time today to go shopping in thrift stores and antique malls and just look around. This takes a bit of energy but I needed to have some fun. I am completely out of fun lately - my fun meter was on empty and my sense of humor had flown away. My annoyance meter however was on HIGH so there was a lack of balance in my mood amd in my week.
I had fun today, but my funometer is barely registering probably because all the walking made The Headache complain. Not sure exactly how to fill it up. I'm too tired to contemplate much fun - it sucks up too much energy! I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired, and now it's starting to take the toll on my joie de vivre.
Thank heavens I will be out of office working with a new client for a couple of weeks!!! Maybe I can rebuild my brick wall of resistance before I get back. I always have fun when I travel because I work with a good group of people and our new clients have been very enthused about their computer system changeover. Nervous but enthused! Maybe my funometer will get refilled.
Gladness, a niece I never got to see very much is getting married in December. She has grown up to be a very level headed young lady, with a very kind heart for all animals, a great sister, a good daughter, and a wonderful aunt. I know she will make a wonderful wife too!
Sadness, found out from a RN friend on Facebook that people with chronic pancreatitis shouldn't take lasix, my anti-cankle pill. The Belly is hurting just from taking it the other day, so I'm glad I know why. I am feeling sick enough without having more complications before I travel to Michigan Friday. I already have to carry a case of pills, I think I wouldn't be able to take it as a carry on for the plane ride if I ended up with more. :(
I desparately need to get back in my happy place. Thinking puppies and kitties and rainbows and flying horses and pink sparkly castles- My Little Pony Land!!!
When I hit the big four oh, I found that my body started to fall apart one piece at a time. My warranty had expired and there was No Extended Warranty available! This is the story of my struggle to keep it all together using spare parts and baling twine.

Headache Business
Can I return my head please? This one is rotten...
The Headache decided that it needed to act up tonight. The Headache itself is not so bad but my eye is not working so well, and the nausea is non-stop even with medication. I am not thinking so well either - am so forgetful I have forgotten to remember what I forgot today....I think...I may be misremembering.
Went to the doc today, told that the antibiotic I am taking is fine but I should take a few more days of it. Since I don't have proper sensation to know when I have a UTI (from radiation damage) my very nice PCP decided to leave a standing order at the local clinic so I can go and give a urine sample to know when and if I have an infection. I appreciate that because it will save me copays when I really don't have an infection going on.
He gave me lasix, a diuretic, for the puffy problem., just a few days worth. I am afraid to fly with such puffy feet and ankles because my feet and legs swell when flying anyway - I would have such big feet I wouldn't be able to sidle down the aisle in the airplane. Add me flinging BLING the cane around and hitting fellow passengers and I can see me being featured on the national news for causing a disturbance. Hoping that the feet will be in better shape by next week.
Starting some of the vitamin/mineral supplementation today. Vitamin B-12 deficiency can go along with malabsorption issues like I have so I'm glad I'm starting this up again. Many of the symptoms for Vitamin B-12 deficiency overlap with hypothyroidism and general anemia. I doubt if I am major league deificient but I might be just a wee bit under vitaminized.
