domino43I should really update. I know I should have at least a few days ago, but I just haven't really had the time. i haven't really had much time on the internet lately. I've been getting up late and going to bed early. Not necessarily going to sleep, but lying down and slowly falling asleep. Okay, so it's more that I catch something on TV before I fall asleep and want to finish it. Or for a few days Corie was falling asleep on the couch and I couldn't lie down until she woke up.
I've been so tired lately because of my Vitamin D. The Dr. and I were just talking about it the other day. I guess when he first tested me my Vit D was below 6, which is the lowest it can get. It's supposed to be around 50 or higher. For a while it was up around 27, but then it dropped down to 15 the last time it was tested. It only dropped like that because the high dose I need to be on for a while to get it up costs $15 for 4 pills and I just couldn't afford that and my Prednisone. The Prednisone is a little more important for now. I'll be weened off that before too long, so then I can really get the Vit D like I need. He said that even after I get it up I'm probably going to have to be on 1000-2000 units a day. The Rx is 50,000 units a week, so even 2000 units a day is way less. But if I don't want to feel so blah and get depressed, I'll have to take it.
Also, the shots are getting old. :\
Oh, and the Dr. wrote me a Rx for a handicap parking placard. I brought it up and he told me he was glad I'd remembered to ask him this time. Now I just have to fill out the paperwork (one short sheet) and give them my Rx. It's only $3.50 for it and he's got it for a year. We'll see where I'm at then.
Besides the health stuff, I don't think there's really anything else I need to update on. I already posted the pics of Bearded!Conan... Nope. I think that's about it for now.
