Do you mean the handbag and wallet?

The wallet will get here first. I hope I don't have to wait too long for the bag...
I'm sure I will be over the moon when I have them both!

The wallet arrived, and I know it will NOT match my new handbag (pictures can be deceiving), so I will be returning it... I hate returning things.
I ended buying a wallet that is a different style than what I normally buy from the website I bought the bag from because I know it will match. I probably should have done it in the first place, especially since with shipping, it turned out to be $20 cheaper. I'm ridiculous lol.

I was having the most trouble with the shortness of breath, dizziness, and lightheadedness early in the morning, but it seems like it's happening later now. I don't know why. But I ended up having to lay down (without having even brushed my teeth) just before noon yesterday and didn't wake up until almost 5.

We will be doing laundry today. I hope that I will be feeling okay. At least Corey will be with me tho, so I won't be alone.
Like last time, I will be jamming as much s- into those two bags as I can. This time it's not sheets I need washed, it's towels. We don't have a TON of clothes this time, so I hope to be able to get at least two sets in.

do you have a blood pressure monitor?
low blood pressure symptomms
Dizziness or lightheadedness
Nausea
Fainting (syncope)
Dehydration and unusual thirst
Dehydration can sometimes cause blood pressure to drop. However, dehydration does not always cause low blood pressure. Fever, vomiting, severe diarrhea, overuse of diuretics and strenuous exercise can all lead to dehydration, a potentially serious condition in which your body loses more water than you take in. Even mild dehydration (a loss of as little as 1 percent to 2 percent of body weight) can cause weakness, dizziness and fatigue.
Lack of concentration
Blurred vision
Cold, clammy, pale skin
Rapid, shallow breathing
Fatigue
Depression

I have a good reliable blood pressure monitor with an arm cuff. My blood pressure is good. It's usually 100-130/60-75. My pulse usually runs 90+. It's been normal for me lately...
I've taken my BP after I've had symptoms, but I wait about 5 minutes after I sit down to take it (shorter than normal), and it goes HIGHER not LOWER, especially the diastolic pressure (the bottom number) for some reason, but my pulse stays in the same range. When I take it ten minutes later, it usually goes back to normal. That's not characteristic of dehydration.

We did the laundry yesterday. Corey was slightly more pleasant than he was the last 2 times, and did more folding this time. I guess he figured out the more he folded, the quicker we would get out of there lol. I wasn't up to putting all the clean clothes away yesterday, so I will have to do that today.

I have my Tysabri infusion today. My appointment isn't until 1pm, and I'm not happy about it. I'll be there for at least 2 hours, and will have to fight traffic on the way home. I probably won't be able to take a nap. I will have to let them know that I need earlier appointments in the future.

I am hoping to get some friggen results today!!! Some good results would be welcome...

I hope the infusion went smoothly and that you were able to take a small nap. and yes I hope you hear/have some good news. You deserve a break!

STILL NO TEST RESULTS!!!
I just called the gastro's office looking for answers again, and the receptionist told me she would "tell the medical assistant to talk to the doctor." WTF... I bet I don't get a call back today either.
I checked the hospital's website, and I can't see any info about the halter monitor study, but I saw that the 2 EKG's done the day I was at urgent care and the ER were modified, and the interpretations were more aligned. I think the odds that my symptoms are from a cardiac problem are more likely now, but I hope I am wrong.

Today has been a very bad day so far. I almost passed out sitting on the deck after smoking my first cigarette of the day. I've been having a lot of shortness of breath and heart palpitations, and have been feeling faint every time I get up. It's after noontime, and I haven't brushed my teeth or showered, which is rare for me. I have to go out to pick up a couple of prescriptions, because I always have to pick up prescriptions, and buy TP. I usually don't go out without showering, but I may today... I'm afraid to get in there. Or maybe I will just wait until Corey gets home. IDK.

I think I'm feeling especially shitty because I took 2 bottles of mag. citrate last night, and am dehydrated/my electrolytes are off. I've been trying to drink a lot of water.

My new handbag arrived a little while ago. It's beautiful! I love it!
They still haven't even shipped the wallet yet tho
I'll wait to switch bags until the wallet arrives. It will be a difficult wait.

that is great about the handbag. what does it look like. I wish Corey would go with you.

You must be exasperated!
I am sorry you are having to wait for both these issues.
I wish I could help.
you have been such a trooper in all of this.
I don't know how you are holding it all together.
I admire your resilience.
