My Three New Loves.

Zofran.

Phenergran.

Pepcid AC.

With these three I'm more than like to remain mostly human throught the whole day. However, while we have tried to manage our relationship, I have learned three things...
1) Maximum Strength Pepcid AC.... Otherwise after three hours you are wishing you can pop another when in fact you can only take 2 in a 24 hour period.
2) Phenegran makes me a little loopey. The first night Steve couldn't stop laughing at me, nor could I. (I think he really appreciated the change in pace).
3) Dont ever get the bottles for Zofran and Phenergran mixed up. Otherwise you will spend all day wishing you were in bed asleep and all night in bed wondering why you can't sleep.
I think that the four of us (six if you count Steve and Parasite) are going to make a great team for the next 2-4 (or more?!?!) weeks!

Parasite

So as some of you may know, a couple of weeks ago I went to the ER with severe abdominal pains. Several tests were done, including ultrasounds, blood tests, and xrays. Results were inconclusive and I was sent home with pain killers and was told to call if it got any worse. Luckily it did get better.

However, in some of the blood tests, they did find that I have a parasite. This type is quite common among women between the ages of 20 and 40 although, cases have been found outside of that age range. This isn't something to worry about and in a few months, the parasite will be big enough that my body will pass it on it's own. At that point, we'll dress it up all cute and bring it home.

In the meantime, I taking lots of naps and enduring heartburn.
