somehow i forgot how to ease my pain.



Sitting steady at 256.0

I should probably mention that I haven't exercised AT ALL since Tuesday. I'm still having that thigh/leg problem so I'm playing it safe. I totally intend to go to the gym today, by the way.



Went in yesterday for some bloodwork. I didn't notice that the doc had scribbled "For 2/23/12" on the top of the order page, she had told me to go "in two weeks" and that's when I last saw her on a Friday so I got it in my head to go on Friday. My bad. Also, she never marked any tests on the order page which somehow COMPLETELY escaped me, so I showed up to the lab with a blank order. Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb. The lady at the lab paged Stern who in turn called back, confirmed the tests, then asked to speak with me. Who, me? Really? Umm... why?

I guess she was worried about my potassium since starting the Lasix, but I am Potassium Queen. I eat entirely too many bananas, oranges, and avocados to not have this covered. She didn't have my chart with her so she asked for my digits and said she might be calling back later to make changes in my doses, but I never got a call last night (which seriously disturbed my sleep... no joke) so I assume all is well? Ehh... I suppose I'll hear from her at some point, if I was dying I would know.

I took my blood pressure twice just now... I got 134/77 and 142/73. Pretty sure that's not right.
