better

I’m doing a lot better now. whew. that was tough.

My head was pounding so much that the pain was making me depressed. Once I took enough things to stop the pain, I started feeling like myself again.

One sign that I realized that my thyroid was doing well, actually – my hands and feet have been warm despite the fact that it has been very cold here, 40 degrees (quit scoffing, it’s usually 50 degrees here at coldest), and our apartment is quite cold. my hands and feet have even been warmer than K’s – and he runs hot most of the time.

I didnt realize it was the pain making me depressed, or that it was even sinus headaches again, I was just so very low I couldnt see it. But K figured it out, suggested I take the medicine, and got me to go out for a walk in the sunshine to feel better. He is really very loving and kind even when I am depressed. It was so sweet, I didnt really feel like I could be loved at that point, but he was so gentle and encouraging.

Last night he told me to not worry about the student loan thing. He doesnt plan to go to school until it is paid off, which was good to hear. Plus he has been looking into the information on going to medical school on loans that get forgiven if you work at certain hospitals after you get your degree. So that is a very viable option.

In the meantime, he signed up for an EMT course next semester, which is two long nights per week (6-10) but he’ll get his certification at the end of the semester and be able to work as an EMT. It is always good to have multiple ways to earn money. Plus the more he does in the medical field, the better it will be for applications to medical schools for the Physician’s assistant or Nurse practitioner programs.

That was a huge relief.

Today we are off to taste cake flavors, and meet a cake baker. tomorrow we are going to Tiffany’s to get our wedding bands on my birthday! We are also going to pick up my great-grandmother’s ring which I got sized to fit me so that I can wear it in the wedding. 🙂

happy birthday to me! I’m nearly forty-three! happy birthday to meeee, happy birthday to me.
