A Life Lesson

I learned something very important this week. Not to ever skip my thyroid meds for 2 days because I have a sinus infection and then take three doses of Nyquil very close together because of a bad memory. The result...104 temp, monster migraine headache accompanied by throwing up along with what the hospital emergency room doctor called a hypertensive crisis(very high blood pressure) In other words I was experiencing a 'Thyroid Storm".  Not a fun three days. Thank the Lord He loves me and heard Barry's prayer because I was in no condition to pray, I could only moan, cry and throw up. Very strange I don't remember much of it. I know I had a cat scan and an ultrasound and they gave me lots of drugs.
All better now though. Another life lesson learned. Loose weight, eat right, take lots of walks and bike rides and NEVER take multiple doses of Nyquil while out of my mind sick with a sinus infection. Good advice to myself I'd say...
