I really needed to get caught up on my sleep - it's been a rough week!! Tuesday we had all-day appointments for Scrappy, plus I had my checkup in the morning. We had to be there at 7 am, so I'd been up since 3:30 am. No wonder I was crashed in my recliner by 9 pm!!
Scrappy's appointments were just his normal CF checkups, an ENT appointment, and an audiogram. His hearing still isn't where it should be, so they decided he does need another set of tubes put in. He will also be having another nasal polypectomy and bronchial lavage. This will be his 2nd set of tubes, 3rd polypectomy and lavage, and 4th surgery in less than 4 years. The ENT also ordered a head CT for Wednesday so she could see if his sinuses were congested with polyps too. His surgery is scheduled for next Wednesday, the 18th, and is planned to be an outpatient procedure unless she does goe up into his sinuses more. Praying for a simple procedure and no complications!!
We had to be at the hospital at 8am for his CT, so that meant being up at 5am on Wednesday. Poor little man had to fast until after it was completed. Second day in a row that he had to fast from midnight until his first procedure - not fun for him or for us either!! They had to give him anesthesia to do the CT because he was terrified of the machine! Because of this, he didn't go in to CT until 1015. It seemed to take forever for him to come out of it. He started vomiting up mucus and stomach acid, since his stomach was empty. That made for a really long ride home! About 3pm his tummy finally settled down and he came out of it enough that he could eat.
My OB cleared me at my appointment! I couldn't have a complete workout because of the untimely 'visitor,' but my doc told me I could have the last part of my checkup done at our local clinic. She asked if we were planning to have another child. I told her we would like to once we got the go-ahead from her health-wise. She would like me to try to lose a little more weight in the meantime, which I have been working on anyway, but said as long as my last test comes back ok, there's no reason we can't start trying. I'm supposed to start taking prenatal vitamins now too in preparation.
Being at the hospital 2 days in a row took a toll on my diet :( At TOPS this week I had a 3 pound gain. In addition to the eating out, I didn't get my workouts in for the past week since Scrappy hasn't been feeling very well and wanted to constantly cuddle. Today I was back at it hard again. I was vacuuming and picked up the mat in the living room, and left it up so I could try out Zumba. I did about 5 minutes of it and OUCH! I'm not coordinated - I'm sure it would give anyone a good laugh!
I set up my Wii Fit to do the entire routine - 81 minutes! Scrappy was getting a little crabby with me and wanted to play. I told him if he can't wait patiently for his turn, he wasn't going to get a turn. I'm sure I'll be sore tomorrow. It's going to be difficult to get my workout in tomorrow - I have class in 8-2 but am leaving early so I can go to a funeral for a friend. Very sad for someone to die so young :'(
Another new challenge I've set up for myself in cooking - try one new recipe each week. I get tired of the same stuff each week and am looking to branch out... Hopefully I'll get some new ideas soon!!
