Day 6

Saturday was a very busy day. My arm was feeling a bit better. It was such a pretty day, and there were errands that needed to be run, and I could use the sunshine...gotta get my vitamin D for that calcium!

I decided to get some Viactiv calcium chews last night at the pharmacy. It is getting hard to even think of putting another Tums into my mouth. So I got the little chocolate chews and while they aren't the tastiest they are better than the peppermint chalk. Plus they have vitamin D and K and while my issue isn't absorption the absorption help can't hurt.

So what's the deal with the calcium? Well the parathyroids sit behind the thyroid and they are the glands that control the amount of calcium in the blood, in the bones, tell the bones to release it or not. The little paras are sometimes in the thyroid so they have to be taken out, cleaned off and reconnected. Even them getting moved around can cause them to be a bit persnickety.

We decide to head out and get our what-nots done until I call it quits. My hands are still tingling off and on but for the most part, I'm a bit tired but over all feel okay. Our first mission is to get some new chairs for the yard. We head into town and decide to stop by Mom and Dad's since they are just a mile or so from Home Depot. We head over and get a few new chairs and then decide a nice drive would be in order since I was still feeling okay. So we drive over to Taylor to the Taylor Meat Market. We needed some bacon. Now you might think that's an awfully long way to go to get some bacon, but it is about the freshest bacon you can get. But unfortunately, being it was the end/first of the month they had been cleaned out. There wasn't even any in the back they could slice up or anything, but they did still have a little of the smoked black pepper bacon so we got some, a few weenies and a bit of summer sausage. Aaaahhh childhood happiness all wrapped up in butcher paper. Num-num!

We head back to the hill. I was still feeling pretty good so we decide to hit half price books in Cedar Park. And it hit me. I suddenly drained and worse, my fathers statement of how as my TSH levels rise people will irritate the living day lights out of me. Boy was he right. By the second little episode of...let's just call it stupidness, I found a chair a few rows over from the books I was interested in...thank you stupid couple for making the air in the area I wanted to be UNBREATHABLE! I sat and kind of chilled, after a while Jeff came and found me and we checked out and headed home. I was so ready.

I was so done. Jeff set up the new chairs in the yard and we sat out there for a little bit then went in and I crashed on the couch. I was one tired girl.
