I am glad that you have your power back on!!!!!!!
Did you have any caffeine with drawl headaches from limited coffee beverages for the day?
I suppose you could have boiled water and run the hot water over grounds for over pour. Not sure what that is called.
Hoping that things get back to normal for you.....
sorry that the doctor called your appointment,
weather messes everything up.
Hugs and love to you today.

Kay,

That was some storm!

Probably the stuff in the fridge is fine.
Some things like eggs and dairy can be o.k. for a while.

Gas ranges are nice for these kinds of situations.

Bizi,

My original appointment with the shoulder guy was at 10am yesterday.
I got an automated phone message and text at 6:30am to tell me my appointment was cancelled.
Around 9am, a woman from the office called to ask me if I could come in at 1:30pm instead, and said she would call me if they had to cancel.
When I arrived at 1:30, the office was CLOSED
I got another automated call and another text at 3pm telling me that the appointment I had scheduled for an hour and a half earlier had been cancelled

I don't think I am going to reschedule the appointment. I will call the office when my shoulder really flares up again. Right now, he will likely order PT, which I don't have the time to do right now.

The kidney BS takes precedent. I have the CAT scan Friday and my appointment with the nephrologist is on Tuesday the 7th. I know from one of my test results I will probably have to see an endocrinologist at some point. I'm hoping I do not need a biopsy. Of course I worry about that.

I'm hypo, or maybe even manic at this point. I started cutting the Rexulti in half (to 1mg) on Sunday, and it's not helping. I'm racy and can't sit still, and I'm very uncomfortable, but still euphoric. Normally when I'm like this, I'd be ripping butts, but we can't smoke in the apartment, and it's really cold outside, so it's KILLING ME! I broke out the e-cigarette this morning... not helping.

I have an appointment with my doc early Friday morning, but I need to call her today before things get out of hand because I'm way too high. She's been giving me samples, but I only have 2mg pills that I can't cut into quarters to go down to 5mg. I hope she just takes me off of it.

I vacuumed and dusted yesterday, but I stopped myself from doing more. I have two more days to fill with things to do to occupy myself... without injuring myself.

I'm not going to get into what's off with the blood and pee tests, because they're complicated and I'm confused about a lot of things...

But from some results, I clearly have a condition related to my kidney problem where everything fits, except my calcium should be low, but it's normal.

I've been taking FiberCon for a couple of years, and when I just filled my pill case, I noticed the generic bottle says, "Fiber Laxative Plus Calcium." And I take 4 pills a day. lol. And I missed that HOW?

That seems like something important for the doctor to know if you have calcium deposits in your kidneys...so I called his office. I wonder if he will have me stop taking it and retest my calcium level. IDK.

I believe she said she has a gas stove....this is why I made the suggestion.
She could make desperate coffee next time this way.
I hate losing power.
It really disrupts your routine.

I am hoping that you will have more answers on the 7th.
am running behind schedule so will write more later.

I didn't get a call back from the nephrologist's office re: the laxative with calcium, at least not yet, so I'm still taking it.

I'm waiting for my glasses to come in. They should be in soon.
I'm waiting for my license to come in the mail so I can finish the application for my medical marijuana card. That should come soon, too.
I'm waiting for a lot of things.

I normally won't go out to smoke a cigarette more often than every hour. Since I've been hypo, so I've been chomping at the bit, and had been going out every 1/2 hour at times. The e-cigarette helped yesterday, so at least I was able to wait an hour between butts. This is the first time it's really worked for me because I always had the easy alternative of lighting another real cigarette in my apartment, but now I can't do that, and it's cold and unappealing outside. Maybe I will quit when it gets colder. I can't see myself going outside to smoke a cigarette every hour when the temp is in the teens.

I left a message for my pdoc yesterday, and got a message back from one of the secretaries. She must not have relayed the my message correctly to the pdoc because the response was inappropriate. Anyway, she wants me to stay on Rexulti at the dose I'm on until I see her tomorrow.

I did a bunch of sedentary stuff yesterday. I couldn't tell you what I did, but I was all over the place. I know I spent several hours searching for the perfect robe... but I don't even really need one. And I know I made a bunch of phone calls.

I'm doing laundry today... early.

I just checked the hospital's website again, and they finally listed the "oxalate" test, but the results are still pending until this afternoon.

I was nervous because it was not even listed among the other tests while they were pending, and it was the ONLY reason why I had to do the 24 hour urine collection in the first place.... and obviously I didn't want to have to do it over again.

I guess sometimes obsessing pays off.

Hugs kay.
