So it might look like I’m posting a thousand (some call it 3) things today and the reason for that is; I posted Friday and Saturday and only realised today that those posts never actually made it online. . .
Ah the wonders of technology, sometimes I think we put too much into our relationships with technology, like my blackberry that has been in for repairs the last 3 weeks and has me going through some withdrawal symptoms…
I didn’t do much this weekend, as my body decided it’s time I got sick again, OH JOY but not before I went to the dentist Friday morning, Dentists scare me. Yes they do, I  hate visiting the Dentist, Rob loves it, don’t ask my why, but I don’t, with the drilling and the needles and the talking to you when you can clearly not respond and making you rinse your mouth when your face is paralysed and you end up dribbling all over yourself and did I mention the drilling and needles, I’m getting Phantom Pains just thinking out it.
My new dentist is actually quite a hottie NO this will not make me go more often, it’s just a observation, he is young and cute and nice, the polar opposite of my previous dentist who was, and probably still is, a grumpy old man!
Side bar: My optometrist is pretty cute too, my GP is a very nice lady, but not my type, hehehe.

That was Friday, then Saturday I woke up suffering from the plague (some call it bad flu) coughing, headache, body pains, the works, I’m actually still trying to recover, and also realised my swelling was back!!! I suffer from terrible water retention, seriously I weighed myself  (I have a scale in my bathroom, bad idea I know),  on Friday and then again on Saturday – when I looked like a Oompa Loompa (in roundness, not in colour) and I’d gained 4.5kgs.
Crazy huh! The random swelling has been coming on a while now, and got much worse when I was pregnant, Dr has run every test imaginable and everything seems 100s, she tells me there seems to be nothing causing it, kidneys, thyroid, everything, checks out fine.
So the she told me to look our for things in my lifestyle that could be causing it and I think I finally figured it out; and it’s so stupid and not really curable, basically:
If I’m sick, any kind of infection at all my body retaliates by swelling up, So when my broken tooth was really sore and slightly infected, that made me swell up slightly, then I got the flu and it made me swell up badly, I also burned my arm not to long ago and was slightly swollen after that, and before that had a kidney infection: super swollen, so yes, its like I have the lamest super power ever I’m a fast healer; get over infections, even cuts and burns and (praying) the flu quicker than most people, but in return I have to blow up like a blimp while I recover, fair trade? the jury is still out on that one. . .
I googled my theory and found a number of discussions and forums where other people complain about this phenom, so turns out to keep myself from inflating I need to keep myself healthy (easier said than done)
That’s my weekend; bed, homemade chicken soup from Rob (because he is the bestest) and Disney channel movies, they sure do recycle actors hey.

Have a great week 🙂
