First, let's start with Sunday...
I ran to Sam's with Elaina and she had a small buffet of foods. Lol. Sample Sundays are the best :) The only ones I could try was fruit-related. The others were breaded fish, chicken strips (breaded), yeah you get the picture.
But it's ok. Elaina had a good time and Jonathan missed out because he wanted to stay home with Dada and play on his 3DS. Oh well.
So, eventually my brother Danny swung by here and picked up the kids for a couple hours just to take them to the park and then by Cici's (pizza buffet) for lunch. I told him he could hurry if he wanted because we were going to go to Mulberry for the rest of the afternoon to fix up the yard for the surveyor this week.
Welp, Chris got a good deal on a riding mower near our house. But he couldn't find anywhere close by that sold a drive belt that this thing is missing. So I ordered one off Amazon yesterday and I just got a text that we will be getting it by Friday. So hopefully we can stick to our plans next weekend to go out there.
In the meantime, Chris dropped it off at his dad's house so our landlord won't complain about "a dinosaur" (as Chris put it) sitting in the front of his yard.
Last night rolled around and Chris was in bed by 8pm. It was unprecedented madness, I tell you! He said he had a bad migraine. There was something on Fox about the Passion. It was the story of Jesus but it was played by modern people in modern clothes and they were singing a bunch of songs that had to do with the events happening. It was beautiful and I cried a lot! I thought it was going to end at 9 but it was on til 10. So, as soon as it ended, I sent the kids off to bed and Chris was already completely passed out in his bed so I then ran to WalMart because he needed a new invoice book for work also. Otherwise I would've just ran up to Circle K. (Chris takes Goody's when he has a migraine and he gets one maybe at least once a month). So I ran to Walmart, got him his invoice book, Goody's, and a drink to take his medicine with.
Now here we are today. This is what I've been battling with all weekend...
It hurts SO bad to type, but I need to keep up with this so I can remember my findings and the things that I've been going through (almost) daily.
I've also been dealing with a sickness all weekend. I have bad congestion in my chest and all in my cranium. It hurts my chest when I cough. My mom gave me this little Vicks humidifier that uses these little moist strips. I LOVE Vicks and I feel like it's been helping me a lot.
Me and Elaina tried to finish her school quick this morning so I could get some orange juice from Publix this morning before picking up Jonathan from school. I didn't get orange juice. I found some of this...
The Bolthouse Farms stuff is all BOGO this week. I got this Vitamin-C Boost and one called Tropical Goodness. We swung by the deli and got some serrano ham and spanish pork to make cubans for lunch. I found some gluten free bread for $5 (ouch). Got some other things. I ended up spending $17. Ugh.
Finished Chris' work invoices from last week before I picked up Lily from the bus stop this afternoon.
Holy Crap!
It's like I completely forgot about it!! So, I got an email from LabCorp with my results :D I checked the Biggers Patient Portal this morning but there was nothing. But I got an email from LabCorp and I am SO glad I signed up. I was hoping I could get my results early that way instead of waiting for someone to type it up into like 10 different messages in my Patient Portal.
So, here's my only scores that were off...
So, here's what this says: My TSH is high. I have now taken 3 different TSH blood draws with this dr and all 3 are higher than what they need to be. 2 of them are higher than what her (wrong) scale says I should be at. Once she sees my results, I hope she tells me to set up an appt so she can prescribe me with something (FINALLY)!! Ahh! Alright, the other things: the Alt (Sgpt) is my liver. It's putting out higher amounts of this "stuff" than what needs be. I assume I have what I read about here and there which is called fatty liver. As far as I've heard, the best way to clear that up is to cut out the fatty greasy foods. So, I just have to eat cleaner.
And the last thing is my Vitamin D. It's lower than what it needs to be. I think that's something that correlates with my fatigue.
I feel a weight off my shoulders. I mean, the information sucks to get that my body isn't totally normal BUT I'm slowly learning what is wrong so I can fix it. I have more blood tests I'd like to take in the near future to test more things but for now, I'd like to get on my thyroid medicine that I've been dying for and also take some Vitamin D (hopefully I can find some chewable stuff).
So, I am going to get off here and try to recooperate a little more with my Vicks handheld and my Vitamin C juices. Peace in the Middle East.
