I didn't have time to post yesterday because my houseguest arrived, and we spent all our time yacking.
I had more energy yesterday than I have had in a long time. I managed to wash the floors in the kitchen, my bathroom, and the powder room, and clean my bathtub. I washed all the dishes after dinner, instead of leaving them sitting in the sink. (There were fewer than usual, because we had leftovers.)
Having my friend here was really, really nice. Four of us (me, my friend, my son, and the gray cat) sat on my (absent) daughter's bed and talked and talked. She really likes my son, and even likes the cats. (She never used to be an animal person.)
A lesson: I took a nice long hot shower *before* I took my Florinef, and now I am weak and light-headed. I'm not feeling too stupid, though, which is another effect of my hypotension. I took the Florinef and the rest of my meds as soon as I figured out what was happening, and now I am (maybe) starting to feel better. (It's better when I sit down.)
Good news! My thyroid tests from Friday were normal! I was so worried about it. I should remember to never rely on a single test. (Of course, now I can worry about which results were correct--the ones from the hospital, or the ones from the internist.) I had a false positive test for hepatitis C several years ago. I should have remembered that.
I see my pdoc tomorrow. We'll talk about med changes.
