Fat Ankled Church Skipper
 | Current mood:  weird Category: Life I think I'm a hypochondriac... hyperchondriac? I don't know - there's no spell check on this thing. Anyway, yesterday around 3:00 or so I noticed that my throat was hurting, my feet and hands were swollen and painful, and the left side of my back was sore. It's not unusual for females of my age and stature to suffer from water retention and swelling during the summer but it was cool and overcast this weekend. I mentioned my "condition" to Casey and she asked if I had been drinking enough water. Hmmm. I think so. She asked about what foods I'd eaten... I guess I'd had a little more sodium content while staying at my parents' house. I'd also had some real Cokes, not diet. But that didn't explain the sore throat. I stopped drinking the soda and increased my water intake but last night when I went to bed my ankles were HUGE and my side - maybe my kidney? - was still really sore. I woke up this morning and it was actually worse. I even stayed home from church! Y'know despite my weight issues I've always been pretty healthy. I have low blood pressure, low cholesterol, no history of heart problems. My biological mother did have breast cancer but she's been free and clear for like 10 years and she is the only one in our family who has had it. I have had stomach problems but those were brought on by one of the stupid diets I felt like I had to go on when I was 19. Then there was the gallbladder thing, but it's gone now so things are getting back to normal. I think I'm just a whiner. I mean the symptoms are real, and the pain is real, but I'm just a big baby, huh? And what's up with me getting sick on the weekends? It seems like illness or injury attacks me on the weekends. That kind of stinks. Okay, enough whining. Love ya all, |
