SLOW. POKE. ITIS. To have a bad case of going extremely slow and continuing this pace.
Not sure this word is in the dictionary or not, but sometimes I think I have it. Tis alright to have when wanting to slow down when eating, but a lifetime of it in every avenue gets a bad wrap.
I don't want to be held captive of it, but ill health tends to hold me bondage. Are my expectations what they shouldn't be or am I truly suffering from ill health? I am a firm believer that when one has vitamin/mineral deficiencies it negatively affects one's health. Off I go to the doctor's clinic this afternoon to visit about vitamin deficiencies. I have felt ill for so long that when I have no get up and go, I think it's just the way I am.
I can't tell how long I've had a vitamin B12 deficiency because I have NEVER been checked. An old timer. I'm not sure if I've ever been checked.
AFTER READING AND RESEARCHING ABOUT HYPOTHYROIDISM, it causes vitamin deficiencies. I am a bit taken aback. When I've asked my Endocrinologist professional, should I be taking vitamins, he'd reply, No. When I asked what do I do when my TSH numbers are within range but I still feel awful, he'd replied that I should have my primary doctor check this out. I have come to the understanding that this particular medical assistant believes if the TSH is within range then they have done their job. End of story. There is no more investigation done at this particular practice.
I strongly suggest that all be checked for vitamin deficiencies early on and stay on top of it throughout LIFE. I know that I have a tendency to be low in Vitamin D. Now B12. I should stay on top of my iron count as well since I have a tendency to be worn out.
Arriving early to my appointment, I was checked in quickly and the wait in the lobby was short. Walked down the hall to the exam room, but first I was weighed. Same weight. Then some questions were asked and blood pressure taken. In comes the doc with a student. We went over the test results and medicines were prescribed. I asked what is the next step if there is poor absorption with the Vitamin B12 supplements? Injections can be given and I asked if we could just jumped to this instead of pills? Yes, so I had my first injection. Once a week for a month, I'll take an injection of Vitamin B12 then go to monthly shots for how long I'm not sure yet.
We went to eat salads afterwards then Target for velvet covered hangers. Off to Menards for vinyl baskets and bottled water. HOME. Evening was time to watch a movie. Time to think about LIFE.
Part of the pokiness is the fact that I have vitamin deficiencies. I know that it'll take some time before I am feeling chipper. My interest in health issues increases.
Saturday. Hubby went to the Pharmacy to pick up his meds and mine. I started the high dose of Vitamin D. One pill a month for three months. The day went slow and I dosed off to take a nap. I seem to be way too tired. I polished the front of our stainless steel fridge. I'll give it a good polish again on Sunday. If I do a few chores here and there, the COTTAGE will stay cleaner as I go.
I started exchanging the closet hangers for the new ones. I could only work in short spurts of energy as I am tired. I'll continue to switch out the hangers a little at a time. Eventually it'll be finished. The table is still covered with clothing being dealt with. Another bag for donating clothing is filling up. It seems to take me longer to get things done than I want to admit.
EVENING ENTERTAINMENT. We watched a 1992 movie directed by Ron Howard, FAR AND AWAY with Nichole Kidman and Tom Cruise. A great movie. Highly recommended.
💖The Valentine Cards are being worked on. I think I'll just mail my grands $5 each instead of buying boxes of chocolate. Sunday will be a great day to finish up the cards and place in the mail. Washing my hair today with a new PRELL SHAMPOO for blondes. I think I'll like it. I'll be fixing a vegetable tray to share while the Football game plays out. Family members are big KANSAS CITY CHIEF FANS so I'll cheer them on in fun. 🏈🏈🏈🏈
