I'm home from the doctor. He upped my Prozac to hopefully make me less homicidal. Ha ha ha my poor kids and hubby. My mood over all has improved. My knee is still feeling pretty rough so he sent me for am X-ray. The pain and stiffness is normal for arthritis and agitated by my weight. However the on and off swelling has him worried. So tomorrow I go back for an ultrasound to check for blood clots. He'll check my TSH in a month to make sure I am at a good dosage. He told me to start wearing wrist braces again at night for the carpal tunnel so I don't lose anymore strength in my hands. My blood pressure is borderline. He starts medication for patients at 140/90 and my blood pressure has been 140/83 on average. So he told me to go on the DASH diet for the next 2 months until I come back for my next appointment with him. If it doesn't go down he may put me on medication. Sooooooooooo for now it's time to load up on fruits and veggies, keep exercising, keep drinking water and keep trying to lose weight.
