I just did some research on one of the new medications I'm taking. It causes swelling, which I have and fluid retention along with pain. I'm not going to take it anymore. I've gained back a pound this week because of the medication. I'm not upset about that just glad that I figured out why I feel so blah this week. My knees (both today) are killing me! I haven't had this much pain in a while. I'm sure it's because of the new medication I was taking. I have to take my diuretics to get some of this fluid out of me so I won't hurt so much.
Despite the pain it's been an okay day. I didn't do much besides make meals and prepare snacks. I did do a little laundry (just putting some clothes away) but after such a productive morning it was a very calm, relaxing afternoon.
I'm looking forward to tomorrow's meeting so I can get my paperclips for my weight loss from last week. I don't know what Tuesday will bring. I'll be on the diuretic through then probably. It takes a few days for all the fluid retention to go away. It's supposed to snow Monday into Tuesday so I'm not sure if I'll get to the 9:30am Tuesday meeting where I weigh in now. If not I can always try for the noon meeting with Pat. I don't think there will be any celebrating of a weight loss for this past week. That's okay though because I know I'm doing the right things, it's just the medication issue.
No plans to do much tonight (besides many trips to the bathroom because of the diuretic lol). Dinner will be leftovers from last night. I'm too sore to do much of anything else.
