that’s too much for me to fit into a long weekend, let alone a regular one! plus you fit in a 900 page novel and the time to write this post? perhaps those little pills you’re taking are extending time or something!
oh, and love the Zach pictures—great tye-dye.
my dad told me a few months ago that even with his meds his cholestorol is at 200 something. without it he shoots up to 300. that’s just, well, i don’t know what that just is. it’s hard for me to understand.
i wish the third picture had sound. i don’t think there’s a better sound than hearing a baby giggle. just beautiful.
Wonderful pictures, thanks for sharing! My Dan is also on cholesterol drugs because he’s genetically inclined to have very high levels. His drugs make him ‘flush’(the maker’s term) he’ll tell you that means waking up at 3am itching furiously...I’ve found him more than once sitting in the shower, half asleep and miserable. Like your muscle soreness its just the way it is, but I feel badly for both of you.
my uncle described similar pain with his statins, in addition to the worse-than-menapause hot flashes. I think his doctor ended up changing his meds because he couldn’t function. I hope the 1/2 pill does it’s thing for you.
Thanks for the Zach crack—I mean pictures. The tie-dye is awesome, but I’m more amazed by Kel’s ability to bake while carrying him. What a great mom!
Gawd, how I love that bit of fold under Zach’s chin! Find any missed morsels of food in there lately?
Gosh, am sorry to hear of the side-effects. I once experienced similar symptoms such as you’ve described when I had a 6 months battle with a Thyroid inflammation and all my muscles were so achy that everyday, I woke up feeling like I’ve been hit by a Mac Truck.
oh my...I had no idea those drugs had those side effects...awful. I hope they go away soon. Thanks for the Zach-feast.
xoxo
P.S. could you send me your sisters email address...I have something to send to her.
eurgh. sorry to hear about the side-effects; that bites. and it’s amazing how popular by association you become when you’ve got an adorable baby, eh?
My dad went on statins last year, and spent four days in bed incapacitated until they switched to a different kind. This is the dude that kicks my ass on the bicycle up a mountain.
pea: I provided my own giggling soundtrack. Think doughboy.
Interesting that your doctor didn’t think to ask you about your workout habits to ease you into a drug. I hope the half-dose does what it’s supposed to.
I could hear Zach’s giggling, just from the pictures…
you break my heart and make me eternally hopeful for the world… you dear, dear man… to carry around that tiny shirt in your sock drawer… I want to burst into tears.
I love you people!! The Chucklehut Family is the bestest!
