Rough Day yesterday
Yesterday morning I went to work and by 9:30 I was heading home. I had a stomach bug. I am not sure exactly what caused it but you know how sometimes we wonder what may be causing it. I figured it was the buttered noodles I had a lot of.
So I came home, laid on the couch and then made the first of several trips during the day to the toilet. As the day progressed it seemed that the events were farther and farther apart. The only thing I had was water. I was getting dry mouth too. I also had a headache..in the back of the head when I slept on a particular pillow.
I didn’t even go out last night but I did manage to get some sleep so much that I was awake at 4 this morning. I did manage to lay in bed a little bit longer as I do on a daily basis. Today the headache is gone.
Another thing I need to come clean about is I haven’t been taking my meds for the lupus and BP like I should. I did take them last night. It's not that I forget them, it's that I tell myself oh I will take it later by then it's nearly bedtime.
When I went to the infusion last week as usual the BP was up. When I saw the Pulmonary Doctor he said that your BP would not be up if you used the cpap machine. As usual I promised to use it. I haven’t since then. Guess what I plan on doing tonight?
I was 226 lbs when I checked in for my infusion last week. I knew right then what it was. Not eating the right foods, having too much red meat. THis is the guilty conscious talking here. I am going to have to do better.
Liz is still struggling with her health issues. I am sure Nelson is too. THey are easily tired by the end of the day. Liz had her infusion the day after mine.
Rich is home from the hospital now about a week now. He is back at work and seems to be doing fine.
I am sure everyone else is good.
