Thanks!

Hey guys,

Thanks for all the thoughts/posts/prayers for my job "situation." :-) There haven't been any definite changes, but I've been at home the past couple of days with some sort of virus. In the words of my ever-thorough doctor, it's a "funky" virus. (Close your eyes, John...or don't let Vino see...it's Western Medicine at its best!)

Anyway, he's trying to determine if it's a side effect of the Tricor I'd been taking (for cholesterol), though I've been on that for over a month. It just hit me Tuesday after school. I went to phys therapy that morning (8am), went to work, had some pain in my right arm (just the "usual" interpreting kind I've been feeling), got home around 5 and then felt icky the rest of the night. I had body aches like you wouldn't believe and felt nauseated. No appetite. I called in sick for Wednesday.

That's when I saw the doctor. They monitored my pulse and said that since it was a little erratic, that was a sign something was going on and that the aches were not "phantom" (Or a result of all the exercises I did the morning I went to PT.. which I knew, having been atlhetic all of my life). Anyway, he put me on a steroid pack and tested me for the flu (came up negative), ordered some bloodwork (b/c of the Tricor, they need to monitor my CK levels and make sure the liver is ok), said I have tendonitis in my arm (did I mention the horrendous crick in my right shoulder??? Shoot me now) and told me to stay home!!! (Even if I wasn't sick, he wanted me to rest my arm and shoulder) You guys should have seen me loping around Wal-Mart yesterday, waiting on my prescriptions. I'm sure I scared people. Dillon made so much fun of me when he got home, b/c I walked with my head tilted to the left (It hurt to move to the right). I almost dropped something at Wal-Mart and nearly fell over :-p.

So, no work today. I feel a lot better, sans the fluid I feel in my left ear. I wonder if it's allergy/sinus problems? My throat is fine. Only my head hurts and I've managed to live off of some curly fries from Arby's today (I thought I'd be hungry after my fast for the bloodwork this morning, but no).

Sigh. Another boring blog day.

If you think about it, please pray for Dillon. He's wanting to get started on learning a new programming language that they took classes for last spring. Nothing has come of it, despite several promises. He's frustrated.

Thanks.

I promise a more exciting blog entry sometime soon...maybe....I dunno...;-)
