Doctors, Needles, and Medicine.

I feel bad for the inside of my left elbow.. I've lost count of the amount of needles that have been stuck there since i was little. it's always the exact same spot, in the same vain. i have a pernament scar, no lie. either there, my right wrist-ish area.

I just had more bloodwork done to check my electrolites or somthing? I don't know, I was really tired, I wasnt really paying attention. But cause of the surgery I had to start taking Vitamin D, and a multi vitamin.. I have since learned, taking those both in the morning with all my other meds does NOT go over well with my stomach. So they ran some bloodwork at my primary care doctor just to check nothing else was going on.. So im gonna start spacing out my meds a bit more...

I'm on wayyyy too many meds. I heard after surgery soem people get off of some of the meds.. I hope i do too. Obviously not the vitamins, buut blood pressure meds or metformin and things like that that I'm on.

I'm weird.. the lady thought i was crazy cause i wouldnt look away when she put the needlei n my arm... I have this weird facination with looking.. Im paranoid if i dont.. if i look, ih ave no issues and barely feel it.. i used to freak out when i was little,w ith needles and stuff.. But since ive been taking my bloodsugar and getting tests and blooddrawn and shots and stuff since i was 5.. shots even before that, ive gotten used to it. They're really not that bad. Although it hurts in  your wrist.. I had a glucose tolerance test done there.. that hurts like a mother effer.

ANYWHO.
Tomorrow i'm gonig with my mom to a support group meeting so I'll meet other familys of teenagers and teenagers that have had, or are going to have bariatric surgery at the same place I am.that'll be interesting. i'll also see a cardiologist down there during the meeting, they'll be talking about, well, heart stuff the flyer said.

And i think next week i have an appointment on monday with my psychiatrist.. I'm on cymbalta for depression/anxiety. just started that about a month ago so we'll see how thats going. I don't think its doing anything.

My bloodsugars have been through the roof the past few days. I came home early on monday from school, didnt go on tuesday, i went yesterday, then stayed home today.. I've felt terrible..

My moms an RN (registered nurse) and thought it might be my aldactone (bloodpressure med) making my bloodpressure low.. but it wasnt.. not at the doctors anyway. 120 somthing over 72 i think... which is normal for most people.... before i started the blood pressure med i was running like 170's over 90's... not good. not at all. So im glad my bloodpressures at least being controlled.. My surgeron said when i first met with him he wouldnt do surgery till that was under controll. So im glad thats fixed.

Anddd my mom needs to call the sleep center and set up a sleep study.. They have to check for sleep apnea. I've never been tested for that. My friend did, and said basically they keep an oxygen thing on your finger and a camera on you while you sleep.. Can't be that bad.

So yeah, thats about it. I'll check back in later, peaceee<3
