A bit stressed these days :(
I had an OB/GYN appointment last night. We saw the little alien and he's grown a lot (he now weighs aruond 1,5 kg) and everything about him looks ok. With me, not so much. I had good results on my blood sugar test but I have hypertension :(. It's borderline, 'bout 14 systolic but that's bad and I need to bring it down. I'll be watching it for a week now and if it is really that high (they measured me in the late afternoon and after a very stressful day at work) I'll need to be put on medicaton. I unearthed my aunt's blood pressure monitor and this morning I managed to get 3 different readings (typical...) lowest was 10, highest was 12. I'll go to a pharmacy and ask them to help me with this thing, I wonder what I'm doing wrong.
My iron is also ridiculously low but will simply go from 1 to 2 pills a day and try to eat more meat.
Doctor also said that the 10 kg I have gained is all I am allowed to gain, period :( So no more sweets for me, less carbs and as little salt as possible for the blood pressure. Sucks!
The kitty is doing great, I took her back at the vet clinic to have a look at her spleen and she's completely recovered. Still have to keep giving her medicine for the whole month to make sure she won't relapse. They had to give her an ultrasound to check her spleen and they shaved her belly. It's adorable and kissable and shes' really embarrassed about it, if I touch it she gets absolutely furious.
I'm tired at work, we've gone from a 3 person to a 2 person team because my co-worker had to be away from work for a week to take care of her sick mother. Her mother is now in intensive care after what should have been a routine thyroid surgery. They need to check her for thyroid cancer. Scary stuff. I don't complain about the extra work, of course but I'm really not at my best these days and I don't need the stress. I have decided that I will chill out about everything and get my work done without stressing about it at all. Easier said than done, of course...
