Well, That Explains a Lot

I went to see my doctor this morning and lo and behold, there’s a reason why I’ve been so tired and foggy … my level of vitamin D is half of what it should be, plus my levels of vitamins B1 and B12 are low as well as my thyroid.

Dayum.

The dr immediately put me on vitamin D supplements and switched my multi vitamin. He also had the nurse give me a B12 shot, and I have to come back weekly for 4 weeks for more shots, then monthly after that. Plus he wants to repeat the horrible 12-vial blood panel in 3 months. (When I complained, he told me his 13 year old had 10 vials taken. I told him not to guilt me and it still sucked. LOL)

The vitamins are gigantasaurus Rex sized (I put a photo up on Facebook). UGH. And they taste nasty and make my pee greenish. But I’m hoping it all works. I still see the surgeon on Thursday to finalize the vitamin regimen.

Everything else was looking good. My cholesterol still isn’t optimal but all four measures were moving in the right direction. By this time next year I should be all set in that regard. I was really proud of my doctor. When I initially talked to him about the surgery, he was like, eh, are you sure? But I know he is thrilled with my results and my health.

J is FINALLY on his way home. I talked to him a few times today. About 90 minutes ago he was in Missouri. He should be home about 1 or 2 a.m. He said, “That’s probably too late to see you, right?” Umm yeah. I’d love to but … I guess we will have to wait until Thursday. Booo.

Some sad news from one of our own … Lisa has put up a very brave fight against cancer and has decided that it’s time to rest. Please stop by and send her and her family prayers and positive thoughts …
