AND IM STILL SMILIN'

Whew!! What a day

Well, here we are again rounding up another awesome work day. It is Monday morning and I am ready for bed. I don't really have much to blab about today. Other than my weekend went pretty good. We took the kids to the movies to see Soul Men. You know the one with Bernie Mac and Samuel L. Jackson. There is another guy, but for the life of me I can't remember his name. However, it was the last movie Bernie and the other guy made before they died. Two awesome performers and men. God rest their souls. I don't think there is anything else really to say. Ohh wait let me tell you. Most of you know that I have plethora of medical issues going on right now. One of which is my thyroid. I have a huge goiter in my throat and it kinda bothers me sometimes. Like, I have to clear my throat allot, I have to chew my food up in smaller pieces so that I can swallow. I don't lay flat on my back much because when I do, it presses up against my windpipe and it's hard to breathe. It affects my blood pressure, and it just plain hurts sometimes. This particular night, I think it was Thursday night, I broke out in this awful cough and could not stop. Which is another symptom. By the time I caught my breath, I started wheezing, and my heart was pounding. I knew that my blood pressure was up. I bought a blood pressure monitor for home so I checked it. It indeed was 144/100. So, I waited for a while and tried to calm myself down, and checked again. It was 145/99. So I just said if I check again and it is not really any better, then I will go to the ER. So I sat up concentrated on my breathing. I finally stopped wheezing, and checked it again, and it was 138/88. So that was better. I finally fell asleep. Most of you that know me, are aware that I have an issue taking my BP medicine. Not because I think its a PRN med. like some of my coworkers (MaryBeth and Michelle, Trisha etc.......)may think. But, because I really don't believe that I need them. My BP is fine with the exception of a few minor set backs sometimes. However, I do take my prosac faithfully.....Geeezzz! Can I get a little credit....LOL.......
Oh oh oh, wait, wait, wait. Oh my gosh!!! I went to my doctors appointment last Friday...and ohhhhhh man. I thought I was going to get a simple ultrasound, you know like what they do when they are peaking at your baby..Ohhh no, no, no, that is not what happened. People, let me tell you, they put something inside my body that should never go there. I was yelling so loud, I was heard out in the lobby. And, they did it twice. Whoooo!!!!! The nurse kept telling me to relax. What the ^&%$(^%(*^....Oh sorry, I got a little carried away. But, It was all for the good. They were looking for a tumor, but did not find one thank God. However, when they started poking around, my kidney started bleeding. OMGosh. What next. So I am waiting for test results. So pray for me you all...I still got my good drugs though.......And of course my prozac.....

Holla!!!!!
