galed7956's Journal

Well I'm going to forget the two day in one journal because I don't remember what happened in those 2 days - guess it was exciting becaue right now I really don't care.  I'm going to try to do this journal so that you all don't wonder what happened to me the last couple of days.  Thursday I went to the Docs and they took a blood test at her office and then she told me that she was going to increase the Tramadol and again we discussed the bone scan since I'm not on any medication for the osteoporosis.  She said that probably we'll wait until next year when it's due again to see what point I'm at because I was improving with the meds by mouth for it.  I had to stop taking the Fosomax and other one because I got ill from them.  My stomach has been one of my worse enemies since I was in second grade.  But I did the dumbest thing I guess I ever did in my whole life.  I have pretty much been able to piece together what happened from early Thursday on until this moment but forget about what happened 2 days previous to Thursday until now.  I know that Thursday I had the doc appointment so I got up around 8 or 0 on Thursday and started to get ready.  It turned out to be a nice day so I decided to ride Blue Angel instead of taking Pocono Pony.  I got everything packed up including my medicine and was all set to go then I took off.  It was a beautiful day ( was supposed to rain then snow) and the electric ran at full speed so I got there ten minutes early.  I had the visit with the doc then I took off and headed towards the hospital because my first visit with the Endrocronoligist is this coming week and I needed those hospital records.  Then I headed towards town because I had a few things to do there.  I went into my friends business in East Stroudsburg (town I live in but this is the business district) and he wasn't feeling too good either because he had eaten a piece of cake at his daughter's 40th birthday party the day before and he's a diabetic.  We talked for awhile and I asked for some water and all this time I was starting to feel weird or not well so after I drank the water one of his other friends came in and I said that I had to go anyway and let them talk.  Now this is strange because I remember going into my pill holder and seeing something wet in the compartment I had the meds in that I was supposed to take but I don't remember when I saw that.   I don't remember if I took my pills then or I didn't because I remember needing the cup of water which I don't ask for usually but I'm really confused if it was then or previously when I saw the water spots in the pill box.  I just remember going next door and taking care of what I had to there and feeling worse and worse as time went by.  I left there and started feeling like I didn't know if I was goining to make it home or not.  I got to the last place that I had to go which was the drugstore and got some of the stuff I needed (not all that I had planned) then went to the pharmacy to pick up some meds and told the pharmicist that I didn't feel good and had just dropped a package in front of the counter.  He tried to hurry up with checking me out but didn't pick up the package so I had to go to the front because he had the another customer and check out the other package.  I finally got all this done and was feeling like I couldn't make the few blocks to the house but I had 2 choices - call a cab to get me and leave the wheelchair behind but then I would have to wait longer to get home or just keep going the way I was.  I decided the fastest way to get home was the way I was going with the wheelchair.  When I finally got home my Mother opened the door and started rattling away her usual crap when I said to her that I was too sick to get out of the wheelchair and needed help.  Of course she didn't understand me as usual (she doesn't get it unless you scream at her but yet she can hear a pin drop) so then she was telling me she didn't know what to do so she had to call our neighbor to help.  He came over and tried to push the electric with me in it into the house without pulling out the knob that makes it able to be pushed manually.   I was able to tell him that he had to pull that out first then he got me in the house.  (Took two tries but he got me in - my Mother's entry in the back isn't straight because the counter sticks out which prevents the back door from opening all the way so you have to go one way to clear the storm door then another direction to clear the inside door).  Of course during all of this she had to tell him not to push the thing that holds the storm door open back too far because it was hard for her to get it undone - she always has to get involved in everything to get all the attention or else she would go sulk in the corner she's like a little baby).  Then I started to get nauseated and threw up.  Luckily she got a pan that I had there (luckily she managed to do that without complaining too awful much which is unusual because everything I need help with she doesn't know how to do and doesn't even want to try) so after hitting the commode (forgot that one I had to go really bad poop wise) and I barfed once then twice I had trouble getting wiped and off the commode.  I finally made the bed then konked out.  I am trying to remember if I did take the pills and this all happened because I haven't been getting too much sleep or if I forgot to take the pills and it all happened because of that.  I know at the doc's office my pressure was higher than usual and I just passed it off sayng that I just took the medicine and it takes awhile for it to work.  But did I take it?  I can't remember too much of the finer points but can remember where I went.  I guess they would call this partial loss of memory.  I got a call from a person representing the Addison's disease society and she was telling me what Meadowinthewind said that I need some cortisone besides the Florinef because I'm not making enough cortisone and it has to be replaced.  I also need an emergency kit.  She said that no matter if it was a light case or a major case I needed two types of meds plus the emergency kit.  I do know that the shoulder pain is back plus the joint pain,   my lips look like I have brown lipstick on (saw that on Wed. night and thought that it's the usual shade of lipstick I wear anyway trying to make light of the situation).  So all of this has something to do with the Addison's.  Maybe it was because of the lack of sleep and it finally caught up to me or I forgot to take the meds I don't know.  I am hoping that before I see the Endro I know what happened.  I also remember that my heart seemed to hurt.  Now I can't stand the light and I am having a headache which gets worse in the light so I am going to end this journal message and try to get back into my nice sleep.  I feel better there only when I have to turn over.  I am sorry that I was out like a light for since Thursday afternoon and couldn't answer any of your messages since then but I was in la la land.  Take care all of you and I'll be yaking at you again soon.  Right now my mother is watching her programs and I can't disturb her for some chicken soup.  Well luv you all and have a great weekend.   Hope I'll be back tomorrow night!!   Hugsssss   galed
