I use to joke with P about how much time his mother spent going to this dr or that dr. She was always having some sort of test for this or that. We couldn't fathom why someone would have to go to so many drs so often.
I now know! It seems every week there is something. This morning I was up and out of the house by 7:30 am (which for me is a minor miracle...I am NOT a morning person)to get to the medical lab by 8 am for a blood draw for my cholesterol check and for a glucose test. I was also having a 2hr glucose test so I had to drink that lovely orange crap and come back in 2 hrs for a 2nd blood draw. Luckily I had a fantastic tech who found a vein IN MY ARM, which is rare, and actually drew the blood really fast and I have NO brusing. YEAH!
Tomorrow I'm off to the Chiropractor in hopes of getting some relief for the dystonia that is driving me nuts! Then next Monday I have my follow up with my primary care Dr. B. She's going to kill me. Not only did I not lose the 10lbs I was suppose to but I gained 5 more since I last say her in Nov. I swear when I start to focus on my weight I just make things worse. I seriously would consider one of those gastric by-pass surgeries but I am not a canidate due to my PD...well that and the fact that I am a big chicken.
So, since I got the invitation to my HS reunion I keep dreaming about people from HS. Last night I dreamt about my HS boyfriend. His name was Ken. We dated the 2nd half of my freshman year into the 1st half of my sophmore year. It was a wonderful first dating experience. I often wonder what became of him. Maybe I'll try and look him up.
That's it for now. Must get back to work.
Toodles!
