Sorry I've been such a bad blogger

I have, I've been bad, leaving you all to your own devices.  Good thing you weren't relying on me for advice or moral support.  Oh shit, you were?  I'm REALLY sorry then, it couldn't be helped.  Hope you've all been keeping in line, not doing things that I wouldn't do...

The last couple weeks in a nutshell....

My SIL graduated from medical school, yay Dr. Emily!!!

My husband Pete's best friend was put back int he psych ward. 

I've been having some hormone issues, and started my period for the first time in 2.5 years.  Yay for built up PMS. I've been a joy to be around, really.  Ask....no don't ask anyone, they wouldn't be able to lie without the memories of the terror they've experienced coming back to them.

I went to the doctor's because of the hormones, and the fact I've been on a 1200 calorie diet for over 10 weeks, and exercising daily,...and gained 6 pounds.  She sent  me in for all sorts of blood work, including my hormones, vitamins, and thyroid.  I called for the results on Monday, and the nurse told me the only thing wrong was that I was very low on vitamin D, and they were writing a prescription for 50,000iu once a week for 8 weeks.  I asked about the hormones, and she said they 're fine (which I didn't believe). I asked about the thyroid, and she paused....and said it wasn't on there.  It was one of the MAIN things we talked about, and the fucking doctor FORGOT TO CHECK THE BOX to have that included on the labs.  So I have to go back over to have that done. 

At that point, I wasn't the happiest person in the world, and I asked them to fax me a copy of the my results. The nurse wasn't impressed with that request, but they have to by law, comply. I got the results and am going to schedule an appt with the doctor.  The hormones the nurse said are fine, even had the HIGH mark next to them on the results.  Liar liar liar. Also marked HIGH is my triglycerides, which normal is 35-150, mine are 278!, and my cholestorel is 193, and the high mark is 200, so I think that's something that should be worked on, to stop it before it gets any worse.  I thought they tried to work on prevention?

I'm not really pleased about this doctor I have.  Not a great impression she's making, this is the first time I've been to her. I've heard great things, not sure if I believe them now.

Then, to add insult to injury, the fuel pump went on my car on Sunday. Almost $500 later, I could drive, but still needed to the tires that we'd already planned on. So they had to be put on too. Sigh.

My SIL is getting married the first Saturday in June, and the day after is our first anniversary.  This weekend is her bridal shower. 

So much to do, so little time, so little ambition.  I've been sleeping a lot.  Coming home from work and going to sleep, waking up for an hour or two, then going back to bed.  I'm trying to stop doing that, and am taking a lot of new vitamins in addition to my normal meds. Oatmeal to work on the cholestorol, even if the doctor isn't worried, I am. My father had his first heart attack at 48, and has had 4 total.

So that's it. Trying to get out of the funk, back in the swing of things. I'll try to check in more. bye now.
