Health- just plain beat
Another long day behind me... 2 ounces of fluid in me and nothing 'solid' but a twizzler that I sucked the life out of over a few hours time as I slogged along in the Internet, worked on a quick video (above) since I could not sleep last night thanks to pain and forgot more than I remembered today.
Though I am drained and dry as a husk I am happy to say it was a very successful day for the most part... I did make a video showing the signs of dehydration and took part in a meeting with G-PACT that I cannot mention at the moment but is extremely exciting. (I will await their announcements and pass them on here)
Tonight my husband was going to run to the store for something and found our car tire slashed... ouch! We have a spare, but that was a relatively new tire and we do not have the money to replace it... another stress another thing added to my blood pressure, but after the meeting I am just too upbeat to let it beat me down right now.
I am just a little over a month out from seeing a Gastrologist for the first time in well over a year and that poor Doctor has no clue what will be coming at him, because I am going in there and begging, pleading and demanding a feeding tube so I can get the fluids I need and the medication I need and I will not take no for an answer. (Yep, I am pumped for someone so 'dumped' right now)
You have to pick your battles carefully when you have limited energy due to a chronic illness, but I know that I will be much better off when I am able to hydrate properly and can once again take my blood pressure and heart rate medications (you can see on the video just how fast and drastic my heart rate changes are) and that alone will improve my life beyond measure.
I am a fighter... I might get kicked every once in a while, but those are mere battles and I plan on winning the war!
