The kitchen is a disaster as I've been trying to finish our kitchen remodel by tiling the backsplash while standing on one foot. Husband was also in there and the cat. Suddenly DH had a rapid regression to a five year old. I saw the look, but it all happened too fast for me to stop it. He hit the switch on the wet/dry vac which scared the cat who jumped and landed on my good foot with all claws extended and used my foot to push off of as it ran out of the room. SOoooooo, now I have the really sore foot from stepping on the stick AND really nasty claw marks over the top of my other foot.

In Palm Springs, I spent the week helping my parents clean out the house of and move my mom's 81 year old cousin. On Saturday morning, I woke up with an ear infection and had to coordinate coverage for out-of-town stuff, as Palm Springs doesn't have Kaiser. Drove home on Sunday - almost 500 miles. Last night, I couldn't get the artichokes to cook in the microwave. This morning I tested it, and it's dead. It runs but won't heat. I just scheduled GE to come out tomorrow. I had the cable company out this morning because we switched to HD and our picture was worse than ever (he fixed it). Just now, I left a message for the spa company because the LED screen for the controls has gone blank. Everything still works, but there is no display. I didn't sleep at all on Sat/Sun nights. Finally slept last night, but hubby woke me up at 5:30 am when he threw his pillows on the bed, landing them two inches from my face. My left contact was driving me nuts, so after cleaning it 3 times, I decided to wear glasses today. I think I'm going back to bed now.

Originally Posted By sherrytodd dd109. The 160 puts it at stage 2 high blood pressure, but you need to have consistent readings of elevated blood pressure over time for a diagnoses. Blood pressure can vary widely through the course of the day and your blood pressure may have been elevated simply due to your reaction to the environment of a blood drive. I typically have a blood pressure of 110/70, but when I was pregnant on the day I was being induced, my blood pressure shot up to 180/90 simply due to nerves. You should talk to your doctor if you are worried.

Other than that everything is Ok ! They just worry cause they think it all will catch up with me at once. Hell,I am just happy to still be walking upright.

On a side note, the chick, Jaime, from Survivor China, spells her name the same way i do! COOL!
Originally Posted By smedley I feel 'off' not anything I can put my finger on, just lethargic, and tired (altho that could be the mild case of insomnia I seem to be suffering from at the moment) and just not quite right, slightly dizzy that kind of thing... Problem is not bad enough to stop me going to work on nights tonight though... Seems terribly unfair lol!
Originally Posted By sherrytodd My foot is not getting any better and it's been almost two weeks now, so I went in to my Dr today. He had to cut it back open after two shots in the bottom of my foot again and drain it and add packing and I have to go in daily to have it checked on now. He thinks that there is still something in there and thinks that I will probably have to have surgery to remove it.
Originally Posted By ShivaThDestroyer sherrytodd, I've read your post 3 different times today and just didn't know how to respond. I had something similar happen in 1982 and came within hours of losing my right hand. Happily that all turned out okay and I just have a little scar to show for it. I'm sure you'll be just fine too. I just wanted to let you know you're in our heart and prayers. Please keep us posted.
Originally Posted By smedley OUCH sherrytodd!! I hope they decide soon whether or not to go in and operate, and that you have a quicker than expected recovery... It doesnt sound like any fun at all to me
Originally Posted By sherrytodd Thanks Shiva & smedley. Saw the Dr. on Saturday and he wanted the surgery done yesterday but the Podiatrist he wanted for the surgery was not available.
