Pills make Christina a happy girl...

I am so bad at making titles for my blog entries. I seriously sit at my desk for a good 20 minutes, trying to decide what the heck to name my new entries.

This past Saturday I was able to finally get my thyroid medication and I am starting to feel like a semi normal person. I have to go back in for a blood test in a month so we can see if this dosage is the right one for me. For right now it seems pretty darn nice to me. The Dr is also going to want to revisit my high blood pressure issue. I am anticipating being put on BP meds as well. We just want to get my thyroid under control first, then work on other stuff.

Canadian Thanksgiving was yesterday. Ed is on the road and I just stayed home, which suited me just fine. I'm not a big fan of the holiday, it wasn't a particularly fun holiday growing up and I don't have many happy memories. Also being the picky eater that I am, I do not like most of the traditional foods.

Anyway, not much else is really going on. I took the weekly fall pic in my backyard this morning. So I hope you enjoy that. Over the past several days it felt like summer again. Blech, I was really enjoying the fall temps, when I woke up this morning it was noticeably cooler than it had been and leaves were falling like rain past my bedroom window, I was pretty stoked. I gladly welcome Fall back. :D

Wha??? Another post today??

Yep that is right. Three posts today as I am behind and trying to catch up.

So let's see, what new stuff do I have to comment on today. Ooo okay, this past Friday I went to the dr. They did all the usual stuff, weight, height, blood pressure. My blood pressure was super high so I now have to monitor it for the next couple of weeks. If it stays high on a regular basis I will more than likely have to be put on meds and I'm pretty much counting on that happening. Saturday Ed and I went to Wal-mart and I took my blood pressure twice both times it showed up as higher than it had been at the dr's office. yippee :|.

They also took my blood so that they could test my thyroid. He said he would call me back on Monday with the results and call in a prescription for me. I haven't heard anything back yet. I called this afternoon, cause after 3 years of not having meds, I am a wee bit impatient. A message has been sent to the dr's nurse to call me back asap with the test results. So I am sitting here at almost 3pm, still waiting and anxiously watching the phone.

I haven't been in the best of moods lately and people are starting to get on my nerves. I am constantly biting my tongue or sitting on my hands to keep from snapping. There are a few in particular that are driving me to drink, not literally, just a figure of speech. :P Hopefully though this will pass and I can get back to just the usual level of people annoying me.

Anywho, I took the weekly fall picture of the backyard yesterday. It's less pretty now as the leafs have started falling at a quick rate. Hope you enjoy the picture and have a great rest of your Tuesday.
