So... I wasn't suppose to go anywhere Saturday... but we did. We went to pride -- I was going stir crazy and there is a GOOD possibility that if I receive a BFP I will be put on strict bedrest. :(
So we went out to Pride and only stayed there about 3 hours - I sat down a lot and we took it very slow... however I received a rather BAD sunburn that I self diagnosed last night as 2nd degree. It is super red (redder than my beautiful couch) and has bad blisters.
Because of the blisters I knew this meant it burned down to the blood vessels and I was risking infection. So we went to urgent care this afternoon and saw a doctor. I wore a button down and my face and arms are pink....well, really more like cherry red. But they don't hurt and haven't blistered. I was sitting there explaining to the doctor that I wouldn't normally come in but this is the worst sun burn ive ever had and all he can see is the cherry pink skin color and I see him thinking "seriously? that's a 1st degree burn" so I take my shirt off and his face totally dropped... It's a pretty bad 2nd degree burn. He said he had no problem giving my pain meds and it doesn't look infected (yet) but he still wanted me to do some antibiotics just incase. Then I explained I'm trying to get pregnant and their is a possibility I could be and I only wanted Class A or B drugs if at all possible. (( Drugs are classified for Pregnancy as A,B,C,D or X ...A being not harmful at all [benadryl] and X being very harmful, causing fetal demise or miscarriage )) And I was worried he would judge me (Afterall he had my birthdate in front of him) but he wasnt! It was great. Instead of prescribing me Tylenol #3 with Codeine or Percocet he told me it's quite commong to prescribe vicodin during pregnancy and as long as I don't over take it it should be fine! :) He even offered to give me a pregnancy test! I nicely declined and explained I am only 5DPO and he agreed itd come up negative even if I am positive since it more than likely hasn't implanted yet. I think he was confused (or releived) that I knew what I was talking about as far as only requesting class A or B drugs. He did explain that Ib Prophin (which he prescribed) isn't considered harmful in the early stages of pregnancy and I could take it to releive the swelling in my shoulders. He also prescribed me Silver Sulfadiazine Cream (50GM) for an antibiotic since it's topical vs. a pill that could affect baby! :) Last but not least he also prescribed me a topical lidocaine cream but the pharmacy was out of it so they ordered it for morning! He was really great and asked me to come back for a follow up on Thursday to make sure it was healing properly because he expects it to continue blistering for the next 24 hours! :(
Anyway anytime I take anything I am logging it here so I can scribble it down for my first OB Appt. when I get a BFP.
730P
1 Vicodin (hydrocodone/Apap) 5mg/500mg
1 Motrin 600MG
1 Thin Layer of Silver Sulfadiazine Cream 50GM (on top of shoulders)
Other than that I can't tell if anything else is odd or off because I am rather drugged... it's the first time I haven't been in severe pain in a few days.
Oh, one other thing my blood pressure read 146/98 this afternoon... odd for me because I normally am able to maintain a BP close to the normal 120/60 :(
We will watch it! :)
