Yesterday was my annual Dr appointment. I am a lucky gal, I know. I sped all the way down to Sioux Falls, because I just couldn't wait to get in there to see my doc and have her see me. ***Sarcasm detected*** I would have much rather taken a cheese grater to my arm, but I couldn't find it. Its still in a box somewhere. :O) Anyhow, I knew I had to go if I wanted my drugs refilled. So I tried to be as enthusiastic as I could be.
Most of you will be happy to know that my Dr decided to keep me on my "crazy pills." For those of you who did not know, I was diagnosed with PPD (postpartum) about 3 months after Colter was born. My thoughts and understanding of PPD were much different until I actually experienced it first hand. My Dr had warned me prior to Colter's birth, that I was at high risk because of my high risk pregnancy. I thought the signs of PPD were not wanting to be a mom, feeling worthless, etc. I didn't have any of those symptoms. But apparently, wanting to bash every ones face in with a shovel is a sign too. :O) So with that, I apologize to all of you who felt the wrath of Miah during those three months. Especially my mother, who seemed to be the bulls eye on my target. Sorry mom!
Al will not be so happy to know that they did not up my dosage. He thought perhaps I should ask the dr to, so that I would not nag at him, ever. I think he wants me to be comatose. I did tell my dr his thoughts, but her eyes seemed to roll back in her head, and then she uttered, "may be we should get him on some happy pills." That's what I have been telling him all along. :O)
Mom, if your wondering, my blood pressure was normal. They also checked my hemoglobin and it was in the very bottom of the normal range. I am going to live!!! No need to worry until next time. ;O) XOXO
Happy Tuesday!

Have a wonderful Tuesday Miah!
i dread that annual checkup. UGH!
I must to get done but glad when it is over with.
Glad everything checked out ok for you. Hope you are feeling and doing better.
I am glad that things went well!!
I also had PPD for a while. I had mine the entire time I nursed so I had to quit nursing. My PPD was just that I would cry over EVERYTHING. I too thought it meant that I didn't want to be a mom but that was not the case. I was washing dishes and Jason came home to me crying. He thought something was wrong with Marissa and there wasn't. I guess PPD effects everyone very differntly!! As soon as I quit nursing, I was fine!!
Keep on a feeling good!!
Ughhh, annual exam, yucky! I am glad to hear all went well for you. I hope this year brings health and happiness!!
As far as the PPD, I am very glad to hear that you were able to get the help needed! That is the most important thing for you and your family!
Have a great week!
I have to tell you that I get the biggest kick out of reading your blog. I know where to go when I need a laugh. Glad you are feeling better and what the heck, the happy pills work, right?! Shoot, if going to the doctor could truly be as much fun! Thank goodness it only has to happen once a year but wait until you get your first mammogram. A-hem, that's a fun one, especially when you have nothing to smash!
