  Whats on everyone's agenda for this week?

[CHRISTYDRAKE]

Wow, You are good.  I believe that honorary MD is well deserved!

[Heiferly]

Alright, I'm ready for my honorary MD now:

LOL.  It figures when I finally get something right, it's nothing to do with dysauto at all, but a dermatology problem.  I guess it's for the best that I went into teaching rather than medicine.  :-p

Ugh! I have felt badly the past two days so I thought "Ok I am not drinking and getting enough salt in" so I took a 1mg salt pill last night with food and woke up feeling hungover from the taste in my mouth to feeling like I am going to throw up....the home health nurse is coming (I think the PT called her to come "extra" yesterday) I don't want to deal with her

I am supposed to be and have to go to my little brothers birthday dinner tonight....I hope I can find something somewhere so this isn't so "painful"

I SO overdid it Sunday night (went out with an old friend) but it was so fun.

I was told I had that (keratosis pilaris)- and got a brochure about it.  It seems the old skin doesn't sluff off as fast as it's supposed to or something.  Lotion was recommended.  

I set up an appt. for our cat with a vet on Thursday morning- Catalina's scooting.  Went today with a relative and videoed about the neck traction device he was going to rent/possibly buy through insurance.

Took Cody to dermatologist yesterday for the spreading bumps all over both arms.  Needless to say-the kid can't catch a break.  He has keratosis pilaris(never heard of).  It will never go away, they can only make it less noticable.  Apparently it is hereditary, but I haven't seen it, he just has it really bad.  Kind of like his POTS, I have some symptoms as does my daughter and mother, but are lives aren't disrupted daily like his.
For some reason, when he gets something- He gets it so much worse.  At least it wasn't anything serious. (His teenage vain years, he doesn't like showing his arms because of them).

Great idea! Dental filling Monday, Wed. 4 hr MRI abdomen/Chest, Next Mon f/u Dr appt for ER visit on Fri, (don't ask, embarrassing). Thinking about getting a hair cut, can't make up my mind. Need to try to steam some clothes to get wrinkles out, don't really want to.  Rain for last week has me lazy or lazier then I normally am.  Good way to get to know everyone asking about week, and seeing everyone's post. Thank you.gwcurt

I go tomorrow to apply for some disability.

I don't know when I'll be able to get to a doctor to schedule a TTT or other tests I think I need.

Aside from that, I've been really sick the past 2 days or so and woke up today feeling drained. Sleep doesn't seem to refresh me lately.

Christy:
        I know what you mean about putting appt's off. I am notorious for this also.
I hope that your son gets a good report from the dermatologist.

Evo:
  I so know what you ,mean about missing browsing through the stores.
I Love to Shop!!   ;0   Have fun Web SHopping though.....
Hope you get a good report from your cardio....and Tachy is stable.

This week I have only one appointment.  I go on wednesday for another 24hr ECG tape.  My cardiologist wants to see how my tachycardia is doing and see if it is getting any better.  

Apart from that I hope to spend the next few days Internet shopping for my little girls birthday.  She is 2 in a couple of weeks so I need to buy her presents, I really miss browsing through the shops, but I still do get excited when I finally choose what things I know she will love!!

Hope this is a better week for us all xx

[CHRISTYDRAKE]

My son, Cody, has dermatologist appt on Monday for the bumps he has had on his arms for a couple of years.  I have put off the appt for too long since he has had so many other doctors appts to deal with. But now they are spreading, so time to have them looked at.

   I have a doctor's appt on Monday (tomorrow). Need to get a couple rx refills.
I am hoping that this relentless fatigue will get off my back some for this week.
Other than that, I'm going to catch up on some reading....

    Hope everyone has a GREAT!
Take Care...<<>>>
