Today was the follow up appointment at my PCP. I didn’t really think I would get any answers. Mostly because the last labs that was done was back in April, 1.5 months ago. Since then I’ve been on a round of prednisone as well so I figured that he wanted new labs done. And I wasn’t wrong.

Well, first of all, today was a good day to go to the doctor. I woke up and my POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) was bad today. I was dizzy, my head was foggy, tremors in my legs and headache. Not that I thought he would/could do anything about it but it was anyway a good day for him to see how I am these days when it kicks in. And sure enough, not much he could do. But what I do love with Dr. Rich is he sits down and takes the time to answer my questions. There is absolutely NO STRESS. That is awesome. He went back and looked at my labs and looked at what the previous clinic had sent him. Realized that the ANA that was slightly elevated was never tested at the previous clinic. Which means he didn’t have anything to compare with. But in the same time, he wasn’t really worried, he explained that often when there was an elevation in these labs and they did further testing it all came back normal and no action had to be taken. As I am already diagnosed with POTS, which is an autoimmune disorder, this may just be my baseline. His lab nurse was out today so I have to come back on Tuesday to draw new labs. But he was not super worried about it as the ANA wasn’t super elevated. That gave me a good relief!!!

For my POTS, just go home and rest and stay hydrated and eat well. Almost said and done. I went by the storage unit on my way home to load up some shelves. That was almost too much for me to do. Phew I was dizzy after that workout.

I put them on Facebook Marketplace when I got home. Home Depot sells them for $69.99 brand new. So I thought $50/each or $180 for all… This will be a good test to see if Facebook Marketplace works… someone would at least give an offer you would think… I can only hope at least!

Sitting here at home waiting for someone to come that needed documents notarized. They were supposed to be here an hour ago… I’m going to take all the shelves out of the car because at 3pm I’m loading the dogs up to take Twix to the vet. He started to shake his head last night and I’m not dealing with that all weekend long. I can tell his ears bothers him and usually he just get some ear juckcream and it’s all good. I called and they said I could just come in… Then I’m going to get them some icecream on the way home… they deserve that. Crap that I can’t have any myself…

I have to pack the car again tonight. Tomorrow is Downtown Forney Market. So I have some stuff to get ready for that. I have the routine down pretty good now so it doesn’t take too long time. Just have to make sure I have everything with me. I pray it will be a good day tomorrow, I need a good sales day!
