Stressed spelled backwards is desserts. Coincidence? I think not!

Back at work
OK, I’m back at work. This week still sucks work wise, as I’m afraid I’ll have to use the nitro. I used it yesterday and wow. Talk about a headrush. I will not be using it while I drive, thank-you-very-much. So there’s an IEP meeting today for Joseph. School play on Friday for Joseph. Christmas party for work on Saturday. I also have to figure how when/where to have a fasting blood test, as well as a chest xray. Next week on a Wednesday morning I have my follow up doctors appoitnment.
People always say that your health is more important. Well – yeah that’s true. But so is supporting my family and keeping the health insurance in place for Logan’s heart stuff (and apprently my own now). It’s a balancing juggling act. I feel like I’m dropping all the balls.
In better news, my mom is home. She got home last night. She has oxygen, but is bitching at my dad about everything which is a good sign.
An Update
First of all, thank you to those who commented or emailed in regards to my mother. It’s appreciated. She may be coming home today. They’re optomistic. We’ll see.
As for me. Well, I had my doctor’s appointment today. My symptoms are weird and fall into a gray area. I have some but not all of the symptoms of angina. [Side note: is it pronounced ang-eye-na or an-gin-a?] Enough that it warranted an EKG this morning. And the EKG results were in a gray area too. Not “great – no problems” – more of a hmmmmm reaction from my doctor. So, I’m going to be having a chest xray and fast blood tests. In addition, he’s decided to treat both possibilities. Real chest pain? Nitro. Maybe just really severe heartburn/reflux? Omeprazole to suppress stomach acid. We’ll see what happens and I go in again next week.
I called my boss when I was waiting for my prescriptions (mom usually does those kinds of errands for me, and well – that can’t happen). I wanted her to know that I was going to be a little later than anticipated, and what was going on, and she told me to stay home. And she knows me too well. “And do NOT feel guilty!”
I’m kind of tired of the curveballs, you know?
The Thanksgiving That Wasn’t
So. Remember how I was going to be home alone. And it would be lovely and quiet?
Well, those first two days were.
Then, I started having – well continued having mild symptoms, and it only now dawned on me as to what it could be. So I’ve made the first appointment of the day Monday to talk to a doctor about cardiac symtoms.
Then on Thanksgiving I got a call at 5am to come pick up Joseph… My mother was going into the hospital.
She might or might not come home today.
So. I’m a little discombobulated, don’t feel well, and completely missed a holiday. Please, forgive the lack of entries.
Not much around here to see.
Hmmmm… I want to write. But there’s not much going on.
Go see this film. Seriously. I helped make it. It’s wonderful. It IS PG so you may want to think twice about little kids, say under 6, ’cause there are some scary parts, but my 4 year old enjoyed it.
Did I mention I worked on it? I work in music – and let me tell you, 70 songs in one film, plus score, is a huge undertaking. We did good.
What else?
I went Pro on ChaCha! Give it a whirl.
What else?
Oh. We’re not doing turkey this year. My mother dislikes my cooking. But she’s unwilling (and quite frankly too unwell) to cook herself. So this is the second year in a row we’ll go to a mexican restaurant – guess that means it’s tradition now, right?
Right?
I shudder at my kids therapy bills in the future.
