So tomorrow I’m off to LA for a week for my bestie Dixie Comets wedding!! Her first marriage- I feel like that’s important to mention for some reason, lol. I feel like I haven’t been to LA in ages and I’m looking forward to sharing that day with her I thought it was the worst time to leave town because of so much to do right now but it seems like this break might be just what the doctor ordered.
The day before the 4th of July I started to not feel so good- deeply exhausted and a pretty intense sore throat, zero color in my face. I took additional supplements and loaded up with on DayQuil and went on with life. Then the day after the 4th I really thought I was burning up temperature wise. I had Tony go buy a thermometer, yeah I didn’t have one…. Anyway the thermometer shocked us because it read 95.6, to be sure the thing wasn’t broken Tony took his temp and it was normal.
Since that day I’ve been taking my temperature at least 4x a day and it’s been between 95 and 96.9. I’ve been much weaker, more thin skinned, losing hair, more tired, more forgetful, more down in the dumps and heavier than I should be for a while now but I’ve just been pushing through it and assumed those things were side effects of all of the added stress of rehabbing and paying for an additional property and dealing with the rest of life on top of it. It never occurred to me that I could have a different medical problem causing those things but that low temperature made me google what a low temperature meant of course. What seems to come up most is a thyroid problem. ALL of my little issues seem to fit the bill! I can’t get into the doctor for all the blood work until the 22nd the day after I get back from LA so anyway I’m walking around with a thermometer and Tony is keeping an eye on me. Despite the roller coaster weight ride over my adult life and anxious by nature ways my blood pressure was always on the low end of normal until now. Now it’s at the high end of normal. Im monitoring it and the temp and I’ll head to the hospital If it gets out of hand or if Tony thinks my behavior is off but until then life goes on just at a little bit slower of a pace than how I’ve been living. I don’t want to push my luck. I’m very anxious to find out what may or may not be wrong with me. Knowing is half the battle…
I had been pretty happy with my health despite the stress because of some incredible vitamins I’ve been taking for over a year now called Hyperbiotics immune on Amazon. They have definitely kept the colds and flu away even when everyone around me was crippled with them. I strongly recommend them but I guess they can’t keep me completely well. Lol.
So I have very little variety in content right now but I’ll stock up as soon as I can. I really, really hate being under the weather. I canceled shoots on Rachel & Riley Jane recently and that really hurt content wise.
I don’t have much planned for LA aside from two days worth of Dixie’s wedding activities and a shoot with Don Sir. The trip snuck up on me because I was trying to get my condo ready to list for sale but I abandoned that thought two days ago when I finally realized I couldn’t do this work 16 hr day things with my temperature so out of control but the sooner I list the place the sooner I sell it and selling it will create wayyyy less tension in my life but what is another two weeks at this point I’m trying to tell myself :/. I had hoped to do some sessions out there but I’m weak and couldn’t give it my all. I still hope to do some shoots. I need content for sure and there are plenty of ladies there but I really need to get there and see how I’m doing. I don’t want to promise LA girls paid shoots and then not be well enough to follow through.
So as soon as I come back to Detroit aside from the doctors visit Caroline Pierce will be staying with me for a week!! We don’t have our dates set, I’ll work around other things she set up but if you’d like a custom starring Ms Pierce send me an email jj at borntobebound.com. I’m still making customs that fit the type of things I like to post at borntobebound really inexpensively so don’t be shy 😉
Now it’s time to edit, sleep, pack.
Wishing good health and plenty of happiness to all-
Sincerely,
JJ
