Mayo Clinic - Day 4

No appointments today! Thank God for that! My poor body is in serious protest mode right now. That MRI episode seems to have sent me over the edge a bit.

Last night was pretty calm, but my body was acting out of control. I was nauseous and had a burning sensation through my entire digestive tract. I've had this feeling before after having a bad episode. It's almost like the cells in my body get all fired up and really irritate my digestive system. My heart also had a mind of its own. I was lying in bed and every time I wiggled (even just reposition my leg) my heart rate went through the roof. So, I took a Zyrtec and Zantac because I didn't know what else to do and I was eventually able to fall asleep.

Today has been a bit better, but still not great. This morning I had some serious arm weakness. We're talking "barely able to lift my coffee cup" kind of weakness. That passed (as it usually does) and I've been left with some nausea and vertigo. Hopefully, by tomorrow I'll be back to 50% again. That's quite the goal isn't it?! Ha!

I did muster up the energy to go to a park in Fountain Hills with my hubby. It was relaxing and fun to walk around, holding hands, watching the ducks. I'm getting very lonesome for my babies, though! I can't wait to get home to them on Saturday and get some serious cuddle time! Tomorrow, I meet with Dr. G. in the morning. I have a lot of questions for him and I'm praying I don't forget anything! So if you're the praying type, please say one for me so that I can sleep well tonight and my brain will be crisp and ready for my consultation in the morning! :-)
