morning....
just got off phone making doc apt for kya, she went to bed complaining of her throat and heart raising....
her glands looked swollen and her heart rate was a bit elevated...
called boss,she's not too happy with me but screw that, said I wouldn't be in this morning but I'll try to come in after the apt but donno when that will be depending on what's wrong....
hoping it's just the weather or a side effect of her meds and not the start of her thyroid going crazy....cuz I've always seen subtle signs with her of symptoms but her blood works always come back normal....but she's at about the right age now for it to really start kicking in (be 13 in sept)

Ditto Jeff's sentiment, hope it goes well and she'll be fine Shads

thanks :)
I'm sure it's just the weather but at least with thyroid since I know what I'm looking for if it becomes a problem we can catch it quickly for her and fix it before it becomes a major problem....i just hate always feeling paranoid over it :lol: like a jack-in-the-box waiting for the moment it decides to spring out or not she has all the minor underlying symptoms, that if i hadn't gone through wouldn't know that if you add them all up it equals one big picture, but as of yet the thyroid levels haven't been out of the norm. and she's always been very healthy so as the doc said until something happens nothing to do but just keep an eye out.

but thinking right now she's just got either sinus infection or something....it's just the jitters and raising heart that has me a bit on edge and she said it's not the first time she felt this way but last night it was kinda painful.

Ah crap sorry Jeff, how long are you expecting to run around in a huge hot box?
Not sure this part of the job was supposed to last one day but the whole job one week. But everytime we plug one tube and seal the drums back up to be pressurized Another tube blows. Like the next weak spot blows when the hole is plugged type of thing. Only problem is it takes hours to get to the tubes. Takes only maybe 20 minutes to weld the top plug in the steam drum and 2 hours to get to it. Then we seal the steam drum up and repeat in the bottom drum or mud drum. Takes less time to get the the mud drums tubes but it's really wet in the mud drum.

    i hate it when it seems the doc has a bug up their .... and are too busy for you....
    donno what was going on, this is the same doc she's had since she was like 3 or 4....she knows we don't come in very often only when kya's really sick, usually she's yelling at me that why I didn't bring her in sooner....
    but today she was like pushing us out the door...

    so it's not strep, no glands swollen, throat was a bit red...drink plenty of fluids take ibuprofen, is prob just a virus....
    i think they were putting the jitters and heart rate off on her anxiety disorder...that she over reacted to feeling that she had a lump n her throat...and totally was blowing off my thoughts of thyroid issues...but since no swollen glands in the throat that is a good sign.

    Praying all will be okay and that it's nothing serious, and just a virus like the Dr. said. :)

    Awwwh I hate that too. Maybe shes just had one of those mornings. It's still no excuse but maybe that's it. On the brightside it sounds like Kya is okay. Hopefully after she gets some rest & fluids in her system she'll start to feel better. Keep us posted:)

    Well whatever you can do to keep your temperature down. We just don't want anything happening to our Jeff:)
    I can't even imagine how freakin hot it gets in there.
