Had my physical yesterday. I feel like a I failed a test, ha! I now have a cholesterol med added to my list of necessary drugs, oy. I have to schedule a stress test because my doctor was more alarmed than I was about a tightness in my chest when I exercise--ie, not sitting semi-comatose, reading porn. So. Not the greatest news, but not the worst. Strangely, I lost a few pounds, no idea how.

This comes at a time when I'm feeling kind of fragile. Not really bad, bad, but the kind of bad where you're tootling along, all whistle and bluebird-on-your-shoulder when something says, "Hey, why are you smiling?" Crash. Fortunately, it doesn't take long at all to blow over. In fact, right now, I'm just hot and crabby. Because here in my house, scientifically designed to thwart cross-breezes or sunlight, it's dark and humid and overly-warm. Like a cave. Or an armpit. More sharing? No? Okay then. ;)

Oh honey.... I know too much about how this feels. My doctor wants me to do the blood pressure every day and do the blood tests because she thinks I might be borderline diabetic, and I know it's just lack of exercise and too much sugar. Duh! Doctors are always being way too conservative, 'cause they're afraid of being sued. Don't let them make your life miserable!

You keep reading that porn, sweetie! Do what makes you happy! Life is short enough, damn it!

Oh, bummer. That's like me suddenly finding out I'm so prediabetic that I'm almost diabetic, back in late March. Just had my blood drawn again yesterday to check to see if I've improved any. I seriously don't want diabetes meds. The age, the age... Hope you pass that stress test with flying colors. <3

ugh, cholesterol. I have familial hypercholesterolemia, which means without medication, my cholesterol hovers around 400 mg/dl. Gross. Diet doesn't seem to have any effect, in fact, I went on the Dean Ornish Diet (totally vegetarian, only skim milk and egg whites allowed from the eggs/dairy categories, extremely low fat, extremely high fiber) and my cholesterol went UP 36 points. So now I take massive horse pills for cholesterol. Knock on wood- my mom had her veins scraped at age 36, and I've made it to 44 without any major events, so I think I'm doing ok. You will too.

WHO SAYS READING PORN ISN"T EXERCISE? I'LL CUT THEM.

I hope you get your bluebird back... maybe visualize it as a homing pigeon instead.

(((hugs)))

I firmly believe that the best way to stay healthy is to avoid going to doctors to find out if there's something wrong with you :P

Heeee.
Yay for fucking air condition, because omg, it's a frigging pit from hell outside. And supposed to be over 100 this week! yay!

Meh, doctors. I have to go in a month or so, a follow-up to see if my vitamin D levels have gone up. I should also ask about why my left foot/ankle is always puffy.
MEH, I say.

Ugh. I HATE STRESS TESTS. I hate them I hate them. I am sorry you have to do it, Roxy! :(
Why do they try to kill us all the time?? Jeez.
Diabetes tends to come to folks on my dad's side of the family (that jerk), so that's always something I worry about. I eat SO much crap...
I want my young body back!
*hugs*
