Right. Doc says to go back on the meds and have a physical and blood tests in a month, just to make sure it's not a thyroid issue or hypoglycemia and because I'm due for a physical anyway.
Because my brain is going haywire recently, I started being ridiculous imagining all the bad things that could show up in the blood tests, which is more or less a swan dive right into panic mode. That's no good. Bad, Cate, bad. Stop that.
Speaking of hypoglycemia, I had so many meetings today that I wasn't able to eat much, and while driving home, I started feeling...weird. Not panicky, but a bit lightheaded, my arms felt slightly tingly, and things started looking like they were in extra-sharp focus. As soon as I got home, I made a vegetable, brown rice, chicken stir fry thingy, and felt better after eating that.
I have an acupuncture appointment tomorrow. I'm kind of dreading it. Karen will be so disappointed that I've had this whopping great setback, especially after doing so well. Still, maybe chi is stuck somewhere that she can unstick for me, and these attacks will pass.
While I was working on some homework assignments, I decided I needed some entertainment. I had downloaded some audiobooks recently, so I fired one up on the laptop - Stephen Fry reading the Paddington Bear stories - that's where the blog title comes from. The way he reads that line is hilarious. Listening to someone read to me is rather comforting, especially when it's a story I liked when I was a kid. Did I mention I have a Paddington Bear? Everyone needs one, in my opinion. Good for morale.
