Yesterday

Today is one of those "productive" days, lol!  Which is good because with yet more snow in the future, I'm sure I will have more "down" days.  Yesterday, I went bright and early to do my three hour glucose test.  Now, the term 3-Hour Glucose Test is definitely a misnomer.  I had to fast from 9:00pm the night before.  Then when I got to the hospital I had an hour of registry and waiting, THEN started the three hour nonsense.  But, back to the beginning.  I awoke feeling nervous.  I had tossed and turned all night.  The girl who had drawn my blood the day before had kinda sucked at it and my arm was already bruised and achy.  I decided to get the kids off to school and then head over and get the glucose drink in me so I could get the three hours started so I could eat as soon as possible.  That meant no shower or makeup but, I thought I would be able to leave in between and go home and get ready. Nope.  They made me stayed at this test is a controlled test.  Grrr... So, I sent Jeremy home to get my purse, my makeup, and a clean shirt.  Well, he came back with a HUGE bag that made it look like I planned on moving in there, haha!!  Embarrassing on all levels!! Whatever.  I also didn't realize that they take your blood BEFORE you drink the drink, then three more times AFTER you drink the drink.  Gah!  They were very nice though and gave me a special chair for people who pass out!  And then let me hang out in a room so it wasn't as bad.  Jeremy came back to the hospital every hour on the hour to see my get my blood drawn just in case I passed out. I love him.  He is too sweet to me.  Luckily I didn't pass out.  I thought for sure I would.  I did feel sick to my stomach the entire time after I drank the glucose drink.  I finally got to leave the hospital about 12:45.  We came home.  My mom had cleaned the entire first floor of the house!! Sweet!! Except now I can't find anything, lol!  Jeremy ordered me mexican food.  But, before we could get it, I had an episode.  Jeremy is starting to get very accustomed to these episodes and I am starting to wonder if there is something wrong with me.  I got hot, sweaty, dizzy, blurred vision, turned white and fell on the floor.  My mom freaked out.  I hadn't been able to drink anything since 9 the night before either but, had downed some water as soon as  I got home.  My mom got me a cool wet wash cloth.  Jeremy went and got the food.  I got very shaky and couldn't see straight but, the made me eat and drink and I soon came around.  I was weak and tired the rest of the day with a killer headache.  In fact the headache lasted through the night and into this morning.  UGH.  The kids were not very sympathetic when they got home from school.  They just didn't understand I guess.  Today I go to Dr. Jones to get my results.  That test seriously sucked. 

This morning I have a ton to do.  Jeremy said not to over do it because he doesn't want me weak and sick again.I got showered and dressed then started laundry.  When I skip a day it seriously matters.  And I skipped yesterday.  I baked a cake for Liam's Cub Scout Blue and Gold Banquet.  I realized my arms look like a drug addicts arms and they feel like lead weights, LOL!  I have do lots of the household chores and realized that when I give the kids chores that I normally do it is uber hard to not do them for them when I am in a busy mode and they are at school.  Maybe summer time will help with that.  There is still a ton to do today so off I go.  I will probably blog again after the doc appointment to update.
