With all good, comes bad. Yesterday I had such a great day and today was exactly the opposite. I opened my eyes and starring up at the ceiling fan, my ear and eye exhibited a portion of the pain I was to feel though out the day. On the agenda today was stop by the bank and then to the pharmacy. As I got out of bed I noticed that my hands felt tight. I sat up to get a better look and sure enough they were swollen. As my feet touched the ground I felt the heaviness in them also. I headed for the bathroom and as I noticed in the mirror my face was swollen. What now?!? What was going on? After I got ready I called Dr. K.G.'s office to left them know about this new issue. I have only been taking the new thyroid medication for 5 days now. I spoke with the nurse and she said she would call me back after she explained everything to the doctor. A while later she called and said the doctor in the office said to stop taking the medication and wanted me to follow up with Dr K.G. tomorrow when he was back in the office.
When I got to the pharmacy I asked the Pharmacist about this side effect. He said he had not heard of it being a big issue. Then again he said with all of the medication it could be a reaction from one of the non-active ingredients in the medication. Now my feet were really starting to hurt.
This was it today. We came home and M wanted to play outside with the neighbors kids. I wanted to lay down. So I guess we settled and I laid my head down on the picnic table and she got to play. About 30 minutes later I asked the neighbor if she could watch her while I go and lay down. She was my angel for the day. I went to my comfy bed and laid down for the next 2 hours. M got back home and then J was off of work by this time. J's parents were headed back from NY, as rested in the patio chair and then all of the neighbors got home. S's husband made his famous Egg Rolls, which was so nice.
My In-law's are leaving tomorrow and so we came in and went over all of my blood tests and some of the medication. I don't ever expect anyone to understand, because I don't. It's almost tomorrow and so we shall see what that brings.
I spoke to the neighbor and my mom with tears in my eyes. I'm reaching my end, what more can I be handed and expected to deal with? Today I was thankful for the beautiful weather and wonderful neighbors.
