I thought I was doing well and I was for an extended period of time. I’ve bottomed out this week to the point that I’ve given my meds to my sister and someone is with me at all times. My med provider called in some Seroquel for my mood and my lack of sleep. I should have contacted her a week ago instead of today but I thought I could pull out of it. It’s been a tough week.

I have a gastric study next week. My doctor thinks I have gastroperisis - paralyzed stomach muscles. That can happen with weight loss medications (GLP1). It is serious but it can be managed.

I’m also having my heart and lungs checked out with a sophisticated machine. I’m supposed to take beta blockers 90 minutes before the test to drop my blood pressure. I’m really nervous about that. I can’t imagine that will be a pleasant feeling.

I’m excited to go to the tulip festival next Saturday, pick my own bouquet and bring it home.
