Monday Morning This and That

Monday arrives after a rather quiet weekend.  On Friday I stayed in and did a little cooking.  There were a few showers, and I really had no place I had to be so I put together a yummy meat sauce of lean ground beef and hot Italian sausage.  I love spicy foods. 

This was Saturday's dinner.  

Doctor finally sent my test results.  Still not quite understanding about my kidney issue, but I do see that creatinine and bun are a bit high.
Creatinine 1.13 mg/dL     0.60 - 0.93 mg/dL
BUN 27 mg/dL       7 - 25 mg/dL
BUN/Creatinine Ratio 24 (calc)      6 - 22 (calc)

I really have no idea what that means, but I don't think it is TOO serious at this point.  My granddaughter, a nurse, said it could be dehydration, but it was important to get retested sooner than 3 months as results can worsen quickly.

On a plus side, my Graves Disease remains in remission.  Thyroid levels are perfect.  That's such a relief.  I was praying for that.  

Started taking the vitamin D2 for my deficiency.  Hoping it brings me some energy and eases the pain some.  

I have found something that really helps  with the muscle cramping.  Nothing like being woke from a sound sleep with your calve or foot  cramping up.  Worst yet is when it hits around the ankles.  Feels like all the bones are breaking.  Then I read some reviews on this:

It really does work.  For the first time in I don't know how long I was able to get through the night without a cramp.  If you suffer from nightly leg cramps, it is certainly well worth a try.

Had plans to be busy yesterday.  Was going to head to church and do a little shopping, and later hubby was going to take me to dinner and to see Bohemian Rhapsody, but those plans changed in the blink of an eye. Hubby had been sitting there waiting for a light and was just ready to turn onto the Belt Parkway when an obviously drunk driver came speeding along and clipped him good, then took off. Hit and run. Thank God he wasn't injured, but the front of the car was mangled pretty bad. Hubby's bumper was lying a few feet away. 

Thing is, a cop was two cars behind hubby  and saw the whole thing. The cop wrote it up and even checked the camera in the store nearby to see if he could see the guys plate number, but he couldn't see it so the guy got away from it. Hubby says a few thousand dollars worth of damage. Money to be laid out and unsure when he will be able to work again. Just can't seem to catch a break here, but he's alive, uninjured, and that's the most important thing. 

Have a good one.
