No Lab Results Yet.....

The doctor hasn't called me yet with the lab results from the tests he requested but I don't think they are all going to be available for another 24-48 hours.  *Sigh*

If you couldn't tell, I haven't felt good at all since seeing the doctor.  It finally dawned on me to dig the sheet about side effects of the medication I was taking to control the diarrhea and see if that was the reason I felt so crappy.   Possible side effects:  stomach pain (oh, really?),  nausea (no surprise there), dehydration (that's a given), constipation.....  That'll teach me to read those darn things before I take any or I would have only taken one pill to begin with, instead of the two suggested on the bottle.  

I had to let the pills I had taken get out of my system (drinking lots and lots of water to help) and see how I felt afterward.  I felt so much better that I knew that was what was causing me to feel so bad.  I ate some oatmeal (the first food in two days), actually moved my bowels and then took just ONE pill.  I'll see how this goes now.  I may go ahead and call my doctor and ask for something else until he gets all the other test results back.

He says there is a new gastric doctor in town that is seeing patients on a limited basis a couple days a week.  He was going to check into it and see what the wait time might be since he knows I am under the gun, so to speak.  

The two days I have been under the weather have seen the chickens get busy.  They've laid 8 eggs in those two days.  The goofy Beast had them sitting out on the counter instead of in the fridge.  He's not using his head since our eggs are more than likely fertilized and will start developing into chicks.  If that's what the Beast had in mind, he should just have left them in the nesting boxes.  But I really think he just wanted me to see them.  I put them into the fridge.  

Time to put this to bed.  Chewlee's birthday is coming up soon and I need to feel better for that.  I love to see the kids enjoy themselves.  She's planning on a neat kind of party so it should be lots of fun for them.

Love you all.  Cross your fingers for me that I feel better now.  Be good.  Be happy.  ***Hugs***
