My Stress Eko

I had my stress eko today, and all checks out good. It wasnt a fun test didnt know when they put all 12 nodes on you they have to do it with the girls hanging out of your shirt. THAT WAS EMBARRASSING.

But i did 9 min 34 sec on the treadmill and the last 1:34 was a light jog, and the doctor stopped it. I was doing fine why drag on. Considering they turned OFF the ac in that room.

After you do your treadmill you have to QUICK jump off with rubbery legs to the table while laying on your left side they take another ultrasound of your heart while it's taxed.

That was probably the hardest part. With rubbery legs and feeling extremely light headed but doc said basically i look great nothing looks abnormal YIPEEE.

I wont know the results of the blood test or the ultrasound on the kidney until i meet with the lovely bonehead on July 30th.

But it's done and i am fine YIPEEEEEE

UPDATE MEG

FInally her fever broke Monday. It's been normal now for over 24 hours. She's back to her cranky self.

The bullseye clearing up is pretty nasty looking, crusting over and bubbly.

She's not really complaining of joint pain or a nasty headache and the naseau is gone, but now she's complainging her throat hurts.

I cant see where anything could get in her with all the antibiotics she's taking.

The doc did says she'd get worse before she got better and i'll tell you Sunday nite was touch and go to bring her back to the hopital. Her temp was teetering that 104 mark (which is the temp the told us to call/bring back). I slept with her with an ice pack on her head all nite. I could not bring the fever down with tylenol, motrin NOTHING.

She's not more immuned to lyme now than before, but i tell you i never want to go through this again. I cant douse her body in bug spray but i like to think that she doesnt eat right and her immune system was low and if things were differnt she might not have reacted so severely.

Off to take the dog to the vet (routine).

I Wish I'd Known

I wish i knew about this site 11 years ago.

And for those who need to know who are thinking......I WILL NOT be giving my daughter that new HPV vaccination. I dont care if i piss my pediatrician off or not. I didnt want the chicken pox one and caved, my daughters WILL NOT be getting this one.

Hell i dont let my kids have flouride treatments.

Mammogram and Anxiety

Ok...so...today i had my first mammogram. It really wasnt so bad. Having my girls hang out one at a time was pretty humbling, but what was worse was when the tech had to grab them and like pull them on the machine. Yah, i dont like having my girls exposed, now they are and having a woman grab squish and put on a machine. YAH. But it didnt hurt, more uncomfortable. BUT...in the end i saw them and she said they look great. The xrays that is. They did, i mean i am no tech or doctor, but all i saw was muscle and the white tissue. SO it's over.

Then i decided to drive around Quincy for a little nostalgic ride. YAH RIGHT, not unless i have to again. It is so small. I mean small that a Denali did NOT fit in the driveway eitehr length or width. The streets are so squishy. I should have opted not to go by my old elementary school, but i did. It was half day. there was 1000 kids and cars in the street (one way now i guess) scrambling. I sat there for 20 min while the crossing guard let each and every child through sometimes minutes in between. Couldnt have let the car in front of me and myself go.NOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Of course there was road work and a detour on FBPkway. THANK GOD i used to live/work and knew my way around. I have a pretty good sense of direction. But man all taht squishiness really makes me appreciate this town i LOATHE so much. I have space. My neighbors are close, but not to where i could toss a ball from a window to the neighbors.

I mean no offence to those who live there. JFQ specifically.......it's just.....i like my very rural area and my plenty of parking, and lots of room to drive w/out worrying my mirrors will hit.

SIGH i am home.

First Mamogram

Well..........tomorrow marks another milestone in my life. I am going to have my first mamogram. Let me tell you how UNTHRILLED i am about it. I am very scared, nervous, apprehensive. I do self checks, but the idea of getting the girls squished doesnt sound fun to me.

Remember when..........
you turned 10 your double digits
you turned 13 your a real teen now not a 'tween'
you turned sweet 16
you turned 18 your 'legally' and adult now
you turned 21 you can 'legally' drink now
you turned 25 you can legally rent a car on your own now w/out a co-signer
you turned 30 how it just sucked
you turned 35 your doctor told you you need a baseline mamogram

you turned 36, well i havent doen this one yet but on the 5th i'll be. SIGH

UTI

Well howdy doody folks i have a UTI. The nurse and doc looked at the cup, and was like well if you DON'T have one we'll be surprised that's one cloudy specimen. How long you been feeling like this....days??? i said nope since about noonish.

Guess that means sticking close to home for a few days till the meds kick in. So i am forced to stay home and work on what better place for a UTI, but the bathroom. I have to get it done b/c we are having our friends from Vermont come over the holiday weekend. My brother is also coming up that weekend. it would be nice to show people the finished product. I have to get the house in order so bad.

Oh ya 65 days smoke free!! He was very proud of me for stopping and gave me the option for one more month if i needed it. He said anything to get you to stop smoking. Now i gotta lose the weight i gained.

Oh and my lovely husband buys a scale. is that like a woman's worst tool in the house. HELLO.....he stepped on his scale he uses for stuff and said he was 195 i was like that's so wrong............ he's only 178. THANK YOU.
