Doctors, Doctors, Doctors, Oh Yeah, and More Doctors

I know, I know.  I’m a tardy blogger.  I’ve had some medical adventures.  As the song says, let’s start at the very beginning. 

Nothing's changed, and that's the problem.  I'm still short of breath, dizzy, lethargic(OOH, how I love that word!  I get a visual image of a sloth.), and my blood pressure isn't being good.  Right now, I'm OK.  But we went to a different doctor two days ago.  She told me that she was going to check for anemia, my thyroid function, and some other things.  We would get the iron level results that day.

Well, I was entirely relaxed before they went to take blood, and I think that was the problem.  Last time, I had my blood pressure up, this time, I didn't.  Towards the end of taking blood, I started to feel funny, and I knew I was either about to black out or come very close to it.  I did not want to black out, so I did everything I could to stay conscious.  It took a while, but they eventually got my hearing back to normal(sounded like I was in a box) and they wheel-chaired me to a bed.  So, I almost blacked out.  Gah!

We got the results back  I am not anemic.  I was so disappointed.  It's not that I wanted to be sick, but that anemia would be an easy fix(and, ahem, would help a lot with my paleness).  Dr. H kept talking about my paleness.  I am still waiting on the other tests.

In the meantime, she sent me to have a echocardiogram done.  I got back from it a couple hours ago.  I was fine; the lady explained what she was doing the whole time- it was like a biology lesson!  Too cool.  Oh, and guess what?  I have abs.  Oh yeah.  *Laughs to self*

We'll have some results in the next few days.  I actually know the doctor who is reading my echo.  I prefer the term "echocardiogram", as it sounds much official, and less like a tin man(OK, so I stole that joke).

 I think I'm going to practice voice today.  I haven't been able to, and it's making me #1, upset, #2, behind, and #3 INSANE!  I tried the last few days and physically could not.  It makes me so mad, because I want to so badly, and I can't!  I am going to do it, I think.  The next time I feel really good(I'm beginning to think that I sit too often, and that's making my blood pressure low). 

In reality, there's not been that many doctors.  It just feels like it.  I cannot wait for my results.
