DR.s appointment


Guest

395 views

Well I had my follow up appointment for labs, etc.

 

Think this last month has been toooo busy. I find I need quiet time without a lot of external input.. My comfort zone. Too many things going on, trying to do to many things and boom, melt down. I am not usually like this.

 

Spoke with doctor, my blood pressure is doing well yesterday it was 102/60

I have osteporosis (just beginning) so he has added Caltrate plus 2 a day and Fosamax with vitamin D once a week. Also Vytorin for triglycerides and cholesterol. After talking he thinks the antidepressant I am on is just not doing it..SO now I am on cymbalta. he says it should help re-set my sleeping clock, also helps with fatigue and he is hoping it will help with the pain and aching.

 

 

Here's hoping for a quieter month, and for the new wonder drug to work.

I am also signed up for my flu shot, so when they get it in they will call me.

 

I have cancelled my appointment for the colonoscopy, will do it later, just am feeling at this point I am not up to dealing with one more thing right now.

 

I need to focus on getting back to feeling good. My old interests and recovery.

Have had to deal with the death of my best friend.

 

I have not been "susy sunshine" or very happy the last few weeks.

 

John has been short handed at work. I tried to go in and help, but yesterday I ended up sitting in the office and crying for 20 minutes. I think he was a bit frustrated with me. He sort of understands I get tired, but I don't usually get this emotional. bop.gif I have always been the strong one and I think it freaked him out when I lost it. His reaction was not what I needed...

Told him dr. changed my antidepressant and he said well something isn't working and should be changed. It is hard when you look fine, no really noticable deficits. It is hard to tell someone it is not fine inside your head. On a one on one coversation or day to day things I can function. It is when too much comes at you and you are trying to do several things. It is like a circuit overload and the fuse blows. Well heres hoping for a quiet few days. Time to rec-charge and let the gray matter settle down.

 

My sister tends to dump her emotional problems on me, and I have just had to let it go for awhile.

You could have been describing Rolly to a "T". A couple of weeks ago I just "let go" from my preconceived notions of what he should be able to do (from my standpoint) and letting him set his own pace. As I speak, he is napping (yet agan) and hasn't really gotten going today. But you know what, that's all right. I think he overdid yesterday. For me, I got off, worked 1/2 a day, came home and changed, and am now off for an interview for a higher paying job. The $ would certainly help with him not working, but not sure I want the stress it might bring.

 

Thanks for letting me see my hubby through you!

Bonnie, sometimes us "strong" women do too much and the pressure crushes us. I too would like a quieter life. It sometimes starts with the word "NO".

Susan, Ray sleeps more when he is overwhelmed. I find if I say 'nothing much doing today so you can relax' he'll stay up later.

We all need some time to daydream and reformulate. Taking it shouldn't make you fell guilty.

Thanks both of you. I guess I needed to blow off steam, I am home with my dogs today. Made a short trip to town for something I wanted to do, got the vacuuming done and starting to settle down.

We have left overs for dinner, so I don't even have to think about cooking today. I just wrote my sister an e mail and told her I was stressed and needed some quiet time.
