I'm glad we had thanksgiving already

because I wouldn't be able to eat anything if I lived in the U.S. :( However, it looks like Christmas is going to be good-food free too. Let the weight loss continue then.

I've been feeling pretty good all week, no acute pain, just a constant ache (feels like a bruise). Unfortunately, all day today it's more than an ache, it's a pretty darn unhappy gallbladder. No idea why - my fat intake has remained the same as the past few days, that is less than 12 g per day. Maybe I'm eating more, because my appetite started to come back a couple of days ago. I wish this pain would stop, I'm day 6 of 10 of my antibiotics. I thought I'd feel amazing by now.

Maybe it's my flu shot? I saw my GP yesterday, I didn't bother canceling my appt because I wanted to get a requisition for an x-ray on my foot. Since I'm not running, I may as well rehab this puppy. Anyhoodle, at the end of my appt I asked if it was ok to have a flu shot. So I got one. Within 15 mins I had a big lump in my throat and felt woozy. They had me lie down, and took my BP - 168/100. Hmmm... that's not good! They repeated the BP another 5 times with the machine, and my average was 140/80. Still not great, but I really wanted out of there. They didn't think I was reacting to the shot, the doc thinks it was Vasovagal Syncope, um ok. Of course I googled it when I got home and discovered it's a fancy word for fainting. Hahahahah! I don't think it was though, my throat was weird and my tongue furry all afternoon, and by 3PM I was weezing pretty badly. It went away by evening. I think I reacted a little to the shot. Greaaaaaat. And today my arm hurts like a mofo! My daughter had a doc appt today, and had her flu shot. She didn't react, though I noticed that she coughed a lot this afternoon (she worked from home today) and she mentioned at dinner that it was odd too. Of course her arm doesn't hurt. But she didn't shovel a foot of snow from the laneway tonight either!

Happy Thanksgiving to my friends to the south! I spent the day on modified sick leave, it's not too busy because the U.S. is off, so I watched the Hitchcock film fest on AMC. Woot!
