What's everyone up for on New Years? We're going to a party at a friend of ours in Orchards. It proves to be fun and full of alcohol. We're planning on staying over in the guest bedroom. Aaron is going to stay with my Grandma and grandpa overnight. He loves it there so I know he'll have fun.
This laryngitis is really getting me! I'm getting more hoarse by the day. Other than that though, the sinus pressure seems to be gone. I'm still getting body aches though. Thank goodnes for Aleve and Motrin.
Since getting off Medifast I started loosing my hair again. At our work Christmas party we were all talking about losing hair. One of my close friends just found out she had breast cancer and the chemo is killing her hair. I told her we could be bald buddies. I wish I was brave enough to shave my head for her. Instead I bought her a book and a nifty bag to carry stuff in to have things to do at chemo since it takes so long.
I feel so bad for her. She's my age and has two girls. She is a super awesome person. Loving and caring. They are doing chemo, total mastectomy with breast reconstruction, and then radiation. So far it's only spread to her upper lymph nodes. I'm so glad she caught it before it got worse. And she is just an amazing person with a positive outlook on it all. I wish I could be more like her. I heard the word 'cancer' and was immediately so upset and looking at all the possible outcomes. But really all I can do is be there for her and cheer her on.
Back to the hair thing, my boss told me to try to eat more protein. Which makes sense as the Medifast stuff was so big on protein. So I'm drinking all these chocolate Muscle Milks, lol. They have 50% of your daily protein. I seriously cannot afford to lose anymore hair. It's really thinning. It's not obvious to others, but I can tell when I'm doing my hair just how thin it is getting. :( I'm not vain, but I love my hair. It is the one thing I do for myself regarding my body besides make-up.
I broke down and started a statin cholesterol med. Which was okay for a awhile and then suddenly I started swelling everywhere. Not really into having heart failure thanks. So I took myself off it. I'm not liking this new woman I have for my primary. She doesn't listen and instead of finding out what I want to do, she just tells me this is what I should do and here you go and out the door she goes.
Jim uses a prescription niacin and it works for him. It has lowered his bad cholesterol and upped his good. My primary said that wasn't true, that it only raised the good. So she wouldn't give that one to me. When I go back I'm going to request it agian. Not going on any statins if they are only going to make me swell up. Plus, it made my fibro pain about 5 times worse.
As soon as I went off it, the swelling went down and the aches and pains were less.
Okay, enough rambling. I've been up since 5:30 AM because of feeling sick, so I need to go take a nap or I won't be fit for the party tonight.
