Today I got a few places. I had a appointment with the PA today and he is ok, just maybe a little too green for me, I see the Dr next week plus I got what I needed too. I went in and he was going to send me to a brain specialist, I've already been there don't need to see them again, but this morning when I woke up and got ready to go to see the PA, I took a shower and it got me so winded that I had to sit down and rest for almost 20 min before I could move around again. I thought that was pretty weird and pretty scary so after telling the PA I did not need this guy but I needed a EKG. They did the EKG and I left the office, I had a hour to kill so I figured I would get a few things food shopping.
I walked slowly up to Safeway and got some ham, cheese and apples, just basic stuff to hold me over for a while until I got to the store for monthly shopping. I then got a call from the nurse and my EKG was a bit off, enough they wanted me to get a stress test (Treadmill) tomorrow at my heart doctors, that test and doctor I was not going to say I did not need, because my chest has been telling me that is where I need to be for about a week now since my seizure. So at noon I will walk the treadmill and see if I can remain standing.
I got home and put away my groceries and was so exhausted I took a nap, longer than I thought I would but an feeling better now and hope to stay up a few hours so I don't throw my sleep pattern off. About the only time I feel halfway decent is when I am in bed, that is not normal, there is something wrong and I think I need to look at my heart and my meds to be honest. I think I am taking so many meds right now that I am messing a few of them up as well. I need to go back and recheck them, I got a feeling I made a mistake.
Blood sugars are off right now, running in the 200's. I've been having a bit of a problem with activity, I'm doing a lot of sleeping lately, if I don't kick this pattern in about a week, I'll adjust my basil. Until then I just punt with it and keep it going by bolus until I get this figured out. This is about as clear as my head has been for a week or two.
I'm still not feeling my best but I think with time and other people working on different things that will adjust out. I'm starting to feel like the cars and bikes I used to work on for fun, tightening here and adjusting there, needing more top end so I would adjust and modify. Guess I am not so different than the machines that I used to have around.
My parents came and took my old Scout out of my driveway this last weekend, my stepfather either needs it for something or they are freaked about my episodes, I don't think I am going to ask. I can't drive it anyway, was just nice to have around, like an old friend.
I have a feeling this is going to be one of them weeks I learn and adjust something that I should have but did not know about before kind of deals.
I wish you well
Robert








Hey Robert,
DEBORAHGood to hear from you!! I am glad to hear that you are getting around and are able to do what you need to. But please don't over do. Rest when you need to. I like how you compared going to the drs to the cars and bikes being fixed. Hang in there and keep blogging. Debbie
