Just Thinkin'....

So, I have new boobs....er....less boobs.  They have taken a bit longer to heal than the first impression I got from my doctor.  I was worried for awhile because I had a section under my left that re-opened and looked like it was infected (probably was, but looked worse than they said it was).  I have to admit, this summer my stress levels were an all time high because under everything, I was so scared.   There.  I said it.  I can't say how many times a doctor took my pulse.  I usually have a very low pulse rate, but this summer it was as high as normal can get.

I loss 3 pounds of flesh, yet I'm now @ 7-10 pounds heavier.  We know why, it's because for around 2 1/2 months I was not allowed to do much of anything except sit on the couch and watch TV.  Funny thing is that I didn't munch like I thought I would.  I was so sure when things seemed to go wrong, all I would do is eat, but I didn't.  And knowing this, we know that it was the lack of movement that caused it.  The hope is eventually I can start doing my stretches and core stuff that maybe I can loose it, or at least not gain more.

I don't want to go back to PT because it's so hard to keep the schedule.  I never know when I will have another migraine, or FM attack, or even not able to sleep the night before.  Any and all of these can cause me to have blurred vision or the sensation of "medicine head".  When this happens I can't drive.

So, let me try to get positive here, for things aren't too bad.  I have been having really odd problems lately.... comes to find out since my operation my iron has been really low.  I happened to be going to a Hematologist, because my platelets were high (apparently that happens with FM...who knew?).  When she did my tests she was the one who noticed my iron levels.  She didn't mention it the first time I saw her because it was still in the normal range.  The next month she said it didn't raise much, and that worried her.  Most likely this was a result of my operation, so I take liquid iron every other day.  I have had my blood, urine, and body checked while I started taking iron.  They couldn't find what was wrong, put me on a mood stabilizer thinking it was the stress of the summer, I got really sick from the new med so stopped it, and then.....2 weeks after starting the iron.... less tired, less headaches, less dizzy spells, and most important....TODAY I GOT CHORES DONE! Not Garrick, ME!

It's like, I feel I'm starting to go up the hill, instead of falling down it.  Now, I'm not running up it, but climbing up....slowly....
