The Last Week



The last week was pretty crazy. Joe, Meg and Brynn stopped by on their way back from their trip to Utah. We were so happy to see them. We had a great couple days being outside, playing at several parks, throwing a frisbee around and picnic-ing...and yes, we brought the doggie along for all the fun.

They ended up leaving early because I got a fever and had to go to the doctor. I had a weird list of symptoms so it took a long time and several tests and exams to figure out what was wrong with me. After they had done so they needed to get me a shot of the antibiotics I needed to start. I got the shot in the leg and was told to walk around the room to get the medicine moving through my body. As soon as I stood up I got super dizzy and my I couldn't hear anything...like I was underwater. I told the nurse what was happening and she took my blood pressure right away. It took her several tries to be able to get it. She said that my blood pressure had plummeted. Anyways, that was kinda freaky.

Oh, the one good thing that came out of going to the doctor was that I had to get weighed! With my big old sweats and sneakers on I weighed 205...which is 15 pounds less than what I was after having Will!!! So I'm down 15 pounds and have 45 more to go. 45 pounds seems like such a more do-able number than 60...woo-hoo!

Father's Day was uneventful, we went to church, took the dog for a walk and skyped with my parents.
