Hold Your Ears, Mother
I try to keep this a pretty clean place. After all, my kids are all over this blog. Occasionally, I'll let a "crap" or "heckola" fly, but for the most part, I keep it G rated.
Except for today.
Today, I exert the "WTF????"
I got back my lab results from the get-thee-to-the-doctor-stat blood workup last week.
Every dern test is NORMAL. NORMAL!!!! My thyroid? Normal! My cholesterol (glad they checked it, didn't know that was part of the package though)? Normal! My metabolic panel (again, more information than I bargained for)? Normal! My blood count/platelet/multiple-words-ending-with-phils? Normal!
Again, WTF?
I'm a freaking head case.
And then, last night? I went to sleep around 11, and the FIRST time I got up to go to the bathroom was 5:45 AM! That's almost 7 hours of continual sleep after basically 2.5 months of hour-long naps all night!
All together now: WTF????
So, here's my NEW theory. Over the past year, I've shed over 25% of my body weight. Maybe my body is having a tough time regulating intermal temperatures. The handful of times I've managed to squeeze in a decent night's sleep have come after soaking in the chilly waters of Schlitterbahn and/or after taking something like Aleve. So, maybe I'm drinking so much as a means of lowering my internal temperature in this horrid heat we have here. Maybe.
I'm willing to accept pretty much any excuse at this point.

Okay, I'm glad it's all "normal", but, yeah. WTF? Maybe your theory is correct. Somehow related to your recent weight loss + the heat?
And next time your chugging all that water, put some soap in there to wash your mouth out, Missy!
You may be right. If everything else is normal that makes sense.
perhaps you should run this idea past your doctor!!! You might be on to something!! Good luck and I'm glad you are normal!!!
Love, MOM
I'm on board with "WTF." Did your doctor specifically say you can quit worrying now? I'll feel better when you hear those words straight from the doc.
Well, you must know what this means?!? If a day at the water park leaves you relaxed and sleeping all night because your body is cooled down in order to save you your husband must build you an in-ground pool in the backyard immediately.
Ok, so since modern medicine cannot explain it, maybe you should find yourself a good Kinesiologist? We go to a guy here in Houston and he has worked wonders for Michael (and me). They take a natural approach and do weird things that give them diagnosis without being invasive! Its so cool!! Just a suggestion...
But I'm with Stichin...a pool would solve all of your problems :)
