Monday blues

Monday always seems to be a rough day around the Dilly house. Everyone is usually back to work and school. Well today I awoke with a really bad headache. I got Peyton up and off to his short day of school. Luckily I have the best kid, when I am not feeling well he is always in loving spirit. So I got him to school and decided to come laydown and see if my migraine would go away. Those who know me well know that I have migraines with the "monthly fairy". So I took a Maxalt, one of my migraine pills. I settled in for a nap. Brad went and got Peyton from school since it is a "small day" and I awoke around 1pm. I started throwing up and the headache was actually worse. Then I started to get scared. I remember when grandma walker had her stroke and she was nauseated the nite before. So I called the doctor and they said to go to ER.

Brad and I went. I threw up on the way there. I just kept thinking in my head. I need to do better and take better care of myself. The thing is I had planned on going to the Ymca this am while Peyton was at school to work out. Why did it seem that the plans failed?? Well long story short. My pressure was 140/103 and the Er was crazy so I signed out and came home. Took advil and feel better. I think it might have something to do with the spaghetti (aka high sodium) dinner I made last nite for the family.

Needless to say I am not upset about the high blood pressure or the feelings I felt. As much as this scares me. Anyone who knows us, knows that we are planning on trying to have another baby and this to me seems like a set back. If anyone has had to watch there sodium knows everything has sodium in it. What am I to eat? Basically fruit and vegetables. Why is it so easy for others? See you must understand even if I am 140 or 200 lbs I still have high blood pressure. It is genetic and is called primary hypertension. Yes, I need to exercise more, eat better....but also I pray for some help with this, some help with self-control. Because I want to have one more baby and that is my dream. Shouldn't everyone have a dream.
