134

134? Why one 134? Because that's what my pulse rate was today at the doctor's office. My blood pressure was really high as well and they had to use the child size arm wrap to get any info at all. She did it twice with the adult arm band and then finally went to the child sized one on my other arm and my pulse rate was 118. I hate having this done because who ever is doing it always makes some wise ass comment about me being nervous or something. I'm not nervous. I'm there to talk about my headaches and have no reason for a high pulse rate. When I'm nervous my pulse rate is even higher. They never look like they believe me and if they actually read the damn chart they'd see I'm not lying.

Ugh. So the doctor's office. The medication wasn't working. I didn't even have the side effects of being tired like I should so one medication had the dosage doubled. I'm off the steriods and they were no longer working in low dosages any way. I'm also off another medication that wasn't working. He ordered me another medication that our pharmacy doesn't carry. Apparently it is too expensive and needs a special reason to be ordered. Since none of the others ones worked I'm allowed to order it. I have to go online and they'll mail it to me. Thank god I don't have to pay for it because it's like $175 for 8 pills. I'd be pretty mad if I had to pay for it and it didn't work.

I also talked to him about my toe. The toe nail grew back in grown and infected to I'll need to have it removed again. He gave me antibiotics to hopefully get the infection gone before he removes the nail. That'll happen on the 30th of this month. I'll also have a follow up that day to the headaches and to see if this new medication is working. I hope it does. If it doesn't then I'll have to get more tests done when we go state side.

Cody gets his wisdom teeth pulled on the 1 of September and I need to be here for that. I wouldn't leave until several days afterwards and I need to give my toe time to heal before I try to fly with the boys. Then it'll only be a couple days until my appointment to have my wisdom teeth pulled so I won't actually leave here until like the 17 - 20th of September. The waiting list in MO is 6 months and I need to have them pulled because they are all impacted and two of them are growing dangerously close to a nerve. If they grow in to that nerve I risk damage so the dentist wants to get it done ASAP. We figured I already had an appointment here and if I get it done here I don't need to pay for it. I'm really really not looking forward to the needles and I hope I don't totally freak out on them like I did when I was in labor with Wes. The dentist is aware of my needle phobia, but I'm not sure if he truly understands the severity of the situation.

Anyway so that's our latest plan. Get the medical stuff taken care of for free while we can and then go to Lake Havasu for a week. Dad will drive to MO with me and I'm not sure how long he'll stay there. I really appreciate everything him and my mom have done for us though because it's making this move so much less stressful for us to know that someone is looking out for us.
