Five For Friday 11/26/10

Written by Katie. Posted in Five For Friday

1.  I started my Beta Blocker, Propranolol and started wearing compression stockings.  I was terrified of swallowing my first pill because I’ve had a history of being allergic to medications, but thankfully nothing crazy happened.  My compression stockings are definitely going to take some time to get used to, and I would appreciate any tips on how to get them on in less than 20 minutes.

29

Written by Katie. Posted in Favorites, Memorable Experiences

I love my birthday.  I always have.  There is a running joke in our family that my birthday is the “Month of Katie.” I have always loved to prolong my birthday well into the month of November.  I am not sure why I love it so much.  I just do.  So this year, with Brad and my family knowing full well that I love my birthday, they kept asking me what I wanted for my birthday, what I wanted to do for it, yadda, yadda, yadda…


Because I wasn’t doing so hot at that time, I was being a major grump about it. I kept saying, “I don’t want to do anything.” Or “I’m not celebrating 29 until I have a diagnosis.” or “I just want to skip it.”
