Low Blood Pressure Fun

Last week I fell asleep on the couch and missed my medication.  Unfortunately it really affected my blood pressure.  The second I woke up, I had something to eat and took my Beta Blocker right away, and usually by the next day I’m back to me.  This time hasn’t been the case.

I went to my mom’s not even able enough to put my walker in the van, and went through terrible waves of nausea and weakness.

I stayed at my mom’s over night by couldn’t sleep from the symptoms until around 5am even though I went to bed at 8pm the night before.

The next day I went home and mom picked me up a new shovel.  I had to use my wheel chair all day which I absolutely hate, but I kept having mottled feet and feeling like I was going to drop.

Today I was finally able to have a shower and get some normal stuff around the home picked up.  The shower did me in big time and I won’t be able to vacuum like I wanted, but at least I’m squeaky clean!

Tomorrow I have a Social Service Worker student and the new one coming by in the morning, and then I have my family doctor appointment.  Hopefully she’ll have some answers for me.

Hope you all are well.  I’m not unhappy, just hoping to feel as good as I was again!  Watching Dexter and OMG so good

Ttyl!

Ash,

Oh Geeze

I can’t believe it’s been since before Halloween since I wrote!!!!

my Christmas tree

I am going to a Neurologist at the end of this month… why I don’t know actually lol.  I figure it’s for my POTS, bc I never got the appointment I was supposed to have with my Cardiologist, I got this appointment instead!  My SSW is going to be taking me, which is sweet, and she kicks people’s asses into gear too lol.

I am also going to my family doctor next week bc of something to do with my test results when I had my physical.  Could be many simple things, but I’m still interested as to why she called to have me come in!

My grandpa passed away just before Christmas.  It was really sad, but for the best bc he wasn’t eating, or even waking up in the end.  My sister did a really sweet thing for all of us, and got one of our favorite photos of him before he got sick blown up and framed in black and white.  I have it hanging in my hallway   I love it.

Christmas was great.  We went to my dad’s Christmas Eve, and I got to see all my brothers and nieces and nephews, and a lot of family friends I adore like family.  Dinner was good too YUM! hehe.

Then Christmas morning, I went up to my mom’s and had a dinner with them, and ANOTHER ONE on Boxing Day when my aunt Kelly came down to celebrate with us.

I was able to get a recumbent bike finally, and am doing 15 minutes on it a day, on the days I’m not shoveling snow!  Yes I am shoveling too and damn it’s not easy!!! I had a bit of a flu last week and it just about killed me to shovel, but thankfully the weather has not been typical, so there hasn’t been as much snow as usual.

Besides that, I just finished knitting myself a scarf… yes knitting lol.  I love it   This is the first thing I’ve ever knitted for myself!  I just have to do the fringe at the ends and I’m done

I am now hooked on Dexter.  My sister got me into it, but I have to watch it on Netflix bc I don’t get HBO.  It gives me an excuse to exercise and knit while I’m watching it.

I am also reading the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo which isn’t at all what I thought it was going to be.  I am also reading 44 Scotland Street, which is awesome so far   Just the lives of a bunch of people who live at 44 Scotland Street, lol but it’s good

New Years, I fell asleep at 9pm LOL.  Wasn’t my intention, and could have went out, but I went to my mom’s, and fell asleep bc I wasn’t feeling the greatest.

Hope you are all well

Ash,
