So I went to the Dr. today to get my med refills. I've had enough Adderall and Effexor to tied me over but I had run out of my Xanax and Norvasc. I don't really care about the Xanax because I don't really need it often BUT I could tell my blood pressure has been up lately. Oh yeah, he took my bp and it was 168/110. Yup! I'm in trouble! So he gave me a prescription and I'm getting it filled today. I need to get it back down. I can tell from my headaches that it's sky rocketed back up. This Dr. though wouldn't prescribe me my Adderall and it's almost out. He said since he didn't diagnos it and he didn't have a letter from a psych then he couldn't write the prescription. I only went to this Dr. b/c I knew he could go ahead and get me in quickly and write me a refill. So I'm okay not having the Adderall. So I just made an appointment with Erica. She was my favorite Dr. ever but she moved to a practice in Baker which is an hr and 15 mins from my office. I figure if I have to make the trek up there to see her every 3 months I can handle it. When I get sick and need antibiotics then I'll just go back to White Wilson for that.
With all of my various ailments it's important to have a Dr. you can trust and really be able to talk to. I found that with Erica. I love her to pieces. I was devestated when I was told that she was moving to Orlando. I then found out that she didn't move to Orlando after all she just moved her practice to Baker. She's in w/ a Dr. up there. Erica is actually a PA. I like the PA's style and how they work with their patients. She knows that I am very intune with my medical problems and trusts me. I love her. Too bad I can't find a gyno I like that much.
Bonnie just got a call from her sister Angie and she is at the hospital right now. She is 38 weeks pregnant and went to her visit today and she's got low amniotic fluid just like I did with Jackson. They are monitoring the babies stress levels right now. She was crying but I told her not to worry everything should be fine. I tried to calm her and tell her that if it was too low to where baby Charlie wouldn't be okay they'd of already taken him. I can't wait for Charlie to make his apperance. I just hope that she will have the Dr. tell her soon his course of action. I have a feeling they'll give her Cervadil or something to the equivalent to thin out her cervix. Then tomorrow morning around 5 or so they'll start the Pitocin. More than likely the Cervadil will start her labor overnight. It did both times for me.
Thinking of Angie and her having the baby makes me remember when Mackenzie and Jackson were born. How wonderful it was. It was painful as hell for Jackson to come out and little Miss Mackenzie didn't hurt one bit except for the 2 hours I was in labor and no one would come and check on me. Then of course my BP was 1xx/119 and then everyone freaked out. Nurses rushing around and Dr.'s yelling at them orders trying to get the Mag in me. Oh what wonderful times. I'll have to post my birth story.
