So the emergency room said that my mother needs to see her family doctor within the next few days. She had her first appointment yesterday and they went through all the symptoms and what has been going on lately and they don't agree with the emergency room doctors. Frankly, I didn't agree with the theory that stress was shutting down her body to release either.
Our doctor said that there is no doubt in her mind that my mother is having seizures. The emergency room said that she probably wasn't and it sounded like thats just what happens when people pass out. When people pass out I think of them as going limp not as stiffening up and jerking or rocking.
Friday afternoon she is going back to the doctor and they are doing and EEG and a mammogram. I don't know if the mammogram is related or not or perhaps it was just time to do another one. So that's the update on my mom for now.
Dieting::
Yesterday I barely broke 1000 calories. I didn't mean for this to happen really. I had 4 eggs with a little cheese and ketchup for breakfast. A chicken salad sandwich and mixed vegetables at work and a cup of hamburger helper lasagna when I got home. I even had a can of mt. dew (empty calories) to try to bring it up a little more. After logging my walking ( I don't log any other physical activity and I've been very active lately) I barely had 300 net calories.
Today I don't know what the plan is aside from dinner- For dinner I'm making mashed potatoes and peppercorn pork loin and corn or peas. Its 12:30 and I haven't eaten anything yet. I'll grab something before I head to the grocery store though. I don't go into work today until 6pm. Only 4 hours today. Shrug. I get to see mike today so I guess its not too bad.
