What no test to check the head?! LOL, just kidding.

ER room #9, the EKG machine and I are getting pretty close. Spent the evening with them again. All is well, all is well!

I have been having a lot of symptoms that do not usually go together...the PVC's are now accompanied by hot flashes/anxiety...I have a pain in my head, ear, jaw, sinuses...nausea, vertigo off an on, low fever, bloody noses, high blood pressure and just feeling like shit. And I am salivating like a vampire or hungry dog. It is bizarre!

Poor ER nurses and doctors must think I am a hypochondriac. I had written all the symptoms down on a piece of paper for my primary and took it with me. They all looked at me like I was nuts. Maybe I am. All I know is that I feel like dookey.

All the tests came back alright. The ER doc did not diagnose me with anything. He said that there is no test the ER they could do to find out what my problem was. What no test to check the head?! LOL, just kidding. Beleive me that last place I want to spend my evening is in ER room #9 with the EKG machine and needles. I am not frustrated by his non diagnosis. He did all he could, my mess is better suited for a primary anyhow. I understand that.

I did have an appt set with my primary already but I have been waiting for two weeks and I still do not get to see him until next Thursday. Why did I go? Well, all those symptoms just got to be OVERWHELMING! They wake me up out of my sleep and keep me up. They make me irritable during the day. Not knowing what the heck was going on and the thought of waiting another week was eating at me.

I am sure it is a combination of things...allergies, anxiety, residuals from Ramsay Hunt, cavities...all of the above. So, I was sent home with the "You are not dying" chat and orders to get to the primary and back to the neurologist asap. And to a dentist. Uggg!

I am sure glad that I am not experiencing something emergency serious :) AND I do have to say that getting older is not for sissy's! Thanks Mommy for going with me!

Blah, blah, blah...life begins at the end of your comfort zone!

Finally got enouph gumption to take a walk this week...yes one this week :(

Been feeling funny, having episodes of anxiety/hot flashes. That is the only way I can explain them. I just feel like crap overall. Got an appt with the doc next week. That is the earliest he can see me. Blah, blah, blah.

Here is a quote I found that sums me up at this very moment...

"God grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change, the courage to change the one I can, and the wisdom to know it's me." ~Author unknown, variation of an excerpt from "The Serenity Prayer" by Reinhold Neibuhr

I say the original prayer very often but like this one because once you realize that you are the one standing in the way of your own life, that is when change happens. Life begins at the end of your comfort zone, right?

Beautiful day!

Love this place!

Thanks for reading! Don't forget to enter my giveaway...it ends tomorrow!



 

Where are my priorities? I must get my ass in gear!

You have not been hearing of my walking adventures because, well, there have not been any. I walked once last week and the week before that but other than that walking has not been a top priority for me.

Not sure where I fell off track. It think it started when I was not feeling well, and then just never got back at it. I could sit here and give you a million reasons why I have not done it...it have been too busy, Aunt Flow came to visit, I was tired, allergies...what it really boils down to is that I did not want to do it and walking is no longer one of my top priorities. I never put myself first.

While I do still feel the fire and passion to get healthier, I am having a hard time getting my walking shoes back on. It is so easy to tell your self the tomorrow will be the day...it is a viscous cycle isn't it?

At some point I will have to decide that TODAY is the day, not tomorrow; just as I did when I began in December. All is well!

Enjoy some photography that I have taken recently :)

Still seeing hearts if the darnedest places :)

I have been active in the yard.
