Take it easy....

Sorry I haven't posted in so long; I did not feel too swell last week.

Actually, I felt so bad that I finally went to the doctor at the prompting of my husband and mom. The week started with me having this weird episode, what I think was an anxiety attack, in the shower. Then, it seemed like I had a headache every time I turned around and all I wanted to do was sleep. All of this was topped off with a healthy dose of nausea.

So, I went to the doctor on Friday. I got checked out and my Dr. had 4 different blood test run. Yes, one of them was to see if I was pregnant. The others were to check my thyroid, liver, blood count, and for anemia. We also had a discussion about me possibly being over committed and stressed out.

Today I called the office to check on my results and first of all, I am NOT pregnant. Actually, there was nothing wrong with me. It seems that I am stressed out and my body is screaming at me to slow down and chill out. The nurse instructed me to call and set up an appointment with my doctor to discuss my stress level.

Hmm..I wonder if this has anything to do with being a wife and mom at Christmas time.

Another answered prayer. You should do like your mom, use box, canned, frozen or already prepared food. If all else fails, fast food. Then you will only have to worry about clogged arteries. That will cut your stress in half.
Seriously, slow down and relax so you can enjoy each day.
Love mom
