Happy Friday! Man it has been a couple of days.
I have had several doctors appointments and lab work completed. Waiting on results from a few of those labs. Monday I had labs done for my kidney doctor. Tuesday, I had my yearly physical with my primary care doc-- who is referring me to have a mammogram and a colonoscopy. She also wanted different labs, so I had to have more blood work done for her. Wednesday I had an appointment with my kidney doc. She is concerned because some of my levels are going back to where they were when my kidneys started acting up. She has added a phosphorus pill back to my medicine intake. It is what it is I guess.
The weather has wreaked havoc on us. Tuesday I left work 45 minutes before my doc appointment (which takes 20 minutes to get to) as it was snowing. The roads were terrible, and it took me 40 minutes to get there. I am glad that I left early.
Yesterday morning the kids' school got cancelled due to the timing of some snow squalls that dumped a quick 2 inches of snow on the ground. I also decided to take a sick day, as I woke with a massive headache and our preschool got cancelled. I am supposed to go into work even if there is no school for the kids, but honestly I really didn't want to drive in the snow. I have been dealing with a headache now for 3 days. At times it is better than at other times. Last night I was awake from 1:30 AM to 4:30 AM with a headache and just really didn't feel good. I am pretty sure I am fighting something off. I called off today as well, as I was exhausted and not feeling good. I had to go to urgent care and get a doctors notice since Monday is a holiday. The doc believes I am fighting off a virus; he is wondering if it is flu A, as that is showing similar symptoms with headache for days and nausea and just feeling blah. I just want to feel better. I am trying to be productive when I have a burst of energy. And by that I mean, read a book, work on the Lego flower set that I got for Christmas, do dishes, put in a grocery delivery order, etc.
Speaking of groceries, I tried a new recipe this week that I wanted to share for 3 ingredient homemade air fryer chicken nuggets.
Oh no, girl! 😔 I hate to hear you haven’t been feeling well. I pray you are feeling better soon. I’m sure that very cold weather isn’t helping things, either. I’m glad you took a day for yourself. I used to push and push myself through all kinds of sickness and now I look back and realize that the world wasn’t going to end if I didn’t show up for work. I never took off unless I was puking or hospitalized. Haha. I pray some extra rest and fluids will help. Hope all of your blood work comes back ok. I never look forward to all the testing but just grateful we have it to help alert us to potential problems. Your chicken nuggets look good! I may have to try these since we finally have an air fryer!
ReplyDeleteI’m so glad to see you posting again and hope you’re feeling better soon! This is my first time commenting but I’ve been reading along for several years. You are a strong woman and a great mom despite all the obstacles that have been placed in your path! By way of introduction, I am married (nearly 36 years), mom of 3 grown children (girl age 40, boy age 36, and girl age 28), Nana to 3 boys and 2 girls. I retired at age 57, almost 3 years ago, from Federal service and just recently start a part-part time job at my local Senior Center. Jeanette
ReplyDeleteI'm a bit behind here so hope you are feeling better by now. I heard Flu A is going around here. Just a gentle reminder (for myself as well) that resting IS being productive when you aren't feeling well. Your chicken nuggets look good, I'd have them with Chik-Fil-A sauce as well. Our weekend was pretty low-key as the cold front rolled in, so just doing things for that. No idea what's on this weekend agenda other than watching the Chiefs game.
