Chills?

Hello
I am determined to write more in this blog.

Today I took a medication that is supposed to help with my heart racing when I stand up....for my POTS.... the theory is my heart has a hard time compensating when standing up trying to get the blood pumped around my whole body, I have a lower Blood pressure when this happens also, So I am on this medicine that helps bring up my blood pressure by constricting my vessels hopefully making it not so hard for my heart to pump blood around my body......What really happens....
My heart still seems to race...... I still feel woozy when I am up and doing things and still feel the need to sit down to ease my heart...and then a side effect of the medicine is every single hair on my body feels like it standing straight up....like when you get the chills, but a constant chill.... I get cold even when it is warm in my apartment. My husband is probably going to come home and say something about how hot it is in here :)....I don't really see a difference in taking this.....not sure what to do..

I have been reading a book, It is a really nerdy book...The Martian, but I like it because the dude is a botanist (along with an engineer) and gets stuck on Mars. I am about half way through it.


UGG!! Chills! all the time!


ok bye

Hello

Well, Today is another Sunday, and yet another day that I slept until 2pm... It is really weird.... I don't really ever understand my body. It is not like I didn't go to bed at a decent time. I actually didn't have much trouble falling asleep last night.  My husband woke me up about the time to get ready for church. I had a headache, took some pills and fell back alseep until 2pm.... well how fun *she said sarcasticly* I don;t know what people really think of me never going to church....I don't feel inactive, I just feel.......like I am drained all the time.....I feel like I really do what I can!

Anyway that is my rant for the day.....

when I am awake, I feel like there are so many things I want to do....I made a list of projects I want to work on....and it has just been sitting there........that kind of makes me more depressed by just looking at it, and seeing all the things I didn't do this summer.... I really feel like the summer has just gone by way to fast.

I did attend a writing class once a week(for 5 weeks) that was taught by Author Heather Frost! I did miss one week due to not feeling well. They were taught in the evening and for some odd reason that is always the time I usually feel the best. It was really fun! My sister would come over earlier in the day, and she would clean my house :) I really need the help I have come to realize...Having a cleaner house definitely makes me less depressed, but it makes me even more depressed sitting in a dirty house, and not feeling like I can clean it. So I have hired my sister for now (yes, I pay her:) And it has been wonderful!!! Anyways, she would come help out, and then we would both attend this class and then after we would meet my husband for dinner somewhere! It has been fun!

I celebrated my birthday in Yellowstone this year. I have done that a couple of times in the past, but it has been a while.  It is fun having my birthday in Yellowstone, but  I miss having the cake :) but that is ok, I should go buy me a small cake  this week and we can have a little celebration!

This week is also my anniversary! Holy crap! Time really does fly right by!

What?

Next thing I know is summer is coming to an end? Wait what? I feel like I haven't done anything.

I just got back from my yearly trip from Yellowstone last saturday.

I finished the puzzle I have been working on for weeks last night.

I slept through a doctors appointment today

I didn't fall asleep until 5 am this morning.....silly panicy thinking brain.

I emailed my doctor....we shall see how that goes.

I read three books last week in Yellowstone! It was awesome!

I have not yet been to bear lake this year :(

Yes.....not feeling well today.

My POTS has been a bit crazy! I did not exercise for an hour......Really I would just stand up and my heart goes crazy.

no sleep krista

I have not slept all night long..............I laid there, everything quite, but couldn't sleep, got up and did some light cleaning, and laid back down.....It didn't work. Got back up and have been trying to do other things, I wonder if I go lay down, I will be able to sleep.... I sure feel tired, but my body doesn't seem to like to ever have a good nights rest.


and remember, I like comments! At least happy ones:)

What I do

My life is so interesting. I really never know how I am going to feel from day to day, and it makes things extremely hard to plan. Like today for example, I need to go to the post office, but I have had terrible tummy cramps! Ugh, so bad that I have also been puking....oh so lovely. I think they are over for now. I really don't understand my tummy..... I have been feeling pretty good the last couple of weeks, normal ups and downs, but before that I was having a rough time! Tummy aches every day, sleeping lots, aches and pains. It just was not fun. I stayed inside a lot! I feel like I could put my  life into a graph.....

And when I feel yucky that is when I just do not keep a health journal because it is hard, even though that time is probably the most important time to keep up to date on my health journal.

Didn't believe me I had a health journal? Well here is a picture of it. I know, that name is funny.

This is what the inside looks like, Weekly schedule, heart rates, and journaling

Funeral

I wrote this post on my grandmas funeral, and forgot to publish it!
Today was my Beautiful grandma's Funeral! It was so nice to see lots of my family.


My Grandma and Grandpa had 9 kids, 34 grandkids, around 44 great grandkids and more on the way. 1 person from each of the families got to represent

It was beautiful. She had 3 girls, 6 boys. The cool thing is that my grandma had each girl about ten years apart. First was a girl, middle was a girl, and last was a girl, with a bunch of boys in the middle of them.

I'm sitting here on my bed with my legs in pain (if I do to much during the day, they ache at night) and just thinking how wonderful of a grandma I have. I am the Women I am today because of her. I had mothers at many different times in my life, but she was the one constant mother figure I had for my whole life while growing up. Lots of things I learned about how to go about life. I learned sewing from her, cocheting, knitting, and many other things...
I really would love to just write all my memories that ever pop into my mind. about her, and so hopefully this will be a progresive blog post as I remember memories. I shared two previous memories of my grandma on the blog post before this. ( they are neat you should go and read them)

After school I would always go straight to my grandmothers house after school until I was old enough to not have someone look after me, but it was fun. She taught me how to crochet  and I would crochet lots of pot holders. Because that is the only pattern I new at the time. I need to take a picture of them and put it on here.
