Lissa is confused and worried
Feel like a zombie today. Drug myself out of bed at 8:30 (I know that's normal for most people, but I normally wake up before 6 whether I want to or not). Had a kind of rough tummy day yesterday, so I didn't eat or drink much. Thus, I'm dehydrated again. Woke-up insanely thirsty 4 times last night (probably explains why I am so tired this morning). Think my electrolytes are screwy again too. Was really twitchy yesterday and my heart feels fluttery this morning. Not sure why. Anyways, both of those things would be easily fixed by runnning my TPN all day today. Problem with that? I also woke up with a sore right arm, icy pain in my chest, and a cough. Who remembers last time we heard that list? Checked the temp: a little higher than normal, but not bad enough to call anyone yet. So instead of hooking up to my TPN, I flushed my Hickman with Vanco, and I'm praying that I'll be fine by this afternoon. I'm sure it's nothing, but after the last few months I'm just a little paranoid.
***EDIT***
Well, this day just keeps getting better. Fainted and fell down the stairs after I got home. Don't worry: I'm ok, just a little bumped and bruised. Tried to eat something, but as usual when levels start getting off, things didn't go so well. Was successful with a banana, not much else. Ran some TPN and took a three hour nap, so I'm feeling better now. Heart's still fluttery, but the pain in my arm and chest is gone, so that's good. Why can't my body just be normal and work?
"I have more highs than lows
And we could add them up
But we'd be running out of fingers and toes
Oh well, on good days
That's usually the way it goes
But tonight I'm so lonely
Just put you arms around me
And tell me that you love me so much
I'm tired of seeking slowly
Lately I've been crazy
Maybe I'm just getting out of touch
Now I'm holding on
Till the night is gone"
