rainy cool saturday
I swear, if it's not one thing, it's another.
So, I somehow, baffling, managed to lose two pounds in the last three months despite eating bad, fattening food and pretty much breaking my diet every other day.
My hemoglobin dropped .1 to 5.9 so I'm only .2 away from high normal, again despite eating bad, carb laden foods and pretty much not dieting etc. etc.
On the other hand, I guess because I was nervous about both the above, while my blood pressure was a respectable 122/80, my heart was racing. It was racing for the nurse and ten minutes later for the doctor, and something made her check my heart up on the table and not at the chair where she always has before. She asked me if I have asthma--which I don't, just allergies which are sucky right now--so maybe she heard something in my congested voice. I dunno.
Obviously no lady exam today--three weeks from now. Yay. :P I managed to get out of there without a flu and pneumonia shot.
Saturdays at the doctor's office are a bit odd. It's appointment only, and only two of the doctors work. They seem to share a nurse and there's one receptionist. No lab people or anything so it's very empty feeling.
I got there at five till opening and there was a young woman waiting outside and I joined her. There were only three cars in the lot, two were ours. It was weird. A couple minutes after 9:00 her doctor opened the door for us. No one else had shown up. He searched for her chart, tried to figure out how to weigh her, it was kind of funny. He also had no idea how to unlock the door from the outside.
Both the receptionist and nurse came in late due to the rain and the receptionist was in a minor car accident and the nurse lives thirty miles away. Anyway...
Just kind of weird.
Nice to have some rain, though, it's stopping.
So, my guess, the meds and insulin are working better than eating right, except I do want to lose weight, so I need to eat right and exercise. I just need to not cheat. I have no will power. It's not an appetite problem, I don't eat because I'm hungry. I just crave carbs and fat. I'd rather have a pint of icecream over a sugar free pudding cup, or a quarter pounder with cheese over a Lean Cuisine. But, then who wouldn't?
I watched CSI after I got home. Man that show just gets better and better. Lots of twists, had me guessing.
Royals won again last night. I dozed through a lot of it, and then napped for two hours after it was over and then went to bed early. Probably got about nine hours sleep total. Could still use more, but need to write.
Nausea all gone. Drinking water may have helped as I started to feel better after drinking about 24 ounces late afternoon at work. I just had some crackers, cheese and a banana for dinner. So looking forward to dinner tonight. I didn't stay at my parents' last night. Mom's supposed to bring me a piece of the pork roast she made last night--smelled so good but I didn't want to risk my tummy.
Speaking of risking an ooky tummy...Oops, forgot to take my other meds that I take with food... I was trying not to drink too much water this morning so only took motrin and sudafed. *sigh* I ate 90 minutes ago, hopefully the food in there will counteract the nauseating metformin.
Huh, how is WVU managing to beat OSU?
