14 month post op update!

Sorry I've been slackin'!! July was a busy month for us! Lots of playdates, vacation etc. The kids and I flew to Chicago to see my parents for 10 days. We had a great time! It finally hit me about something tho. Whenever I get stressed out, overdo it for the day, get worked up or upset about something, (or even have the runs in the worst way *blush* ) my body just gets REALLY really tired. All of a sudden I just feel like I could sleep, as if my body is saying "Quick! Shut down to recoup!!" hehehe!! I would be out like a light! Happened quite a few times while I was away. I've noticed it at home, but it wasn't as obvious I guess.

But I was totally fine on the whole trip and even enjoyed a good walking through the city of Chicago with my brother and a tour through the Harry Potter Exhibit. It was awesome! And then when we got home our inground pool was finished being built and we've been swimming in it whenever the weather allows! But the one downside is I'm freckling a LOT! Just another thing to worry me. I'm not having any other symptoms, but all over my face are these freckles!! My mom and even some of my friends think they look good on me, but I've never had them in my life!! So of course since my ACTH has been high, that's the first thing I think about vs the sun. Yeah, I've been spending time in the sun, but yes, my ACTH is up there. I dunno. I'm trying to get ahold of Dr. L to get a cortisol/acth level checked. It's been over 3 months, so it's time.

Other than that, we have another little vacation planned. Hubby and I are taking the kids to Washington DC to the museums and whatnot. Should be fun. Then school starts for them not long after that. I'm hoping to get back out to Seattle in November to get my yearly MRI and an adrenal stim test done. Waiting to hear back about that as well.

Overall, everything is still good! Really trying to enjoy my summer this year!! :D
