Went to the Doctor...

Went to the doctor 8/11/11

                So, I rescued a friend of mine, and ended up going into the doctor’s office with him (in the waiting room). I found out that the doctor he was seeing (nurse practitioner, but who cares? She’s nice, and good!) was the one who helped his wife with something *VERY BAD* (If I get permission from her to mention it, I totally will. If not, then, well, too bad.). She pointed her in the right direction and gave good referrals.

                Some of you know that I have been having trouble with my vision and some other issues post meningitis, so I had been planning to contact a doctor. However, I didn’t know who to see. Then, going with my friend, I ended up asking about possibly getting into see their doctor/nurse practitioner lady. I got in, basically the appointment after his. I had him come in with me (since I was going to be his ride home anyway) and I freak out at doctor’s offices, so he could shoot the shit with me while we waited, and I didn’t freak the fuck out.

               

                Going in, my blood pressure was high, because I was having flight or fight responses. I tested that theory with her later after I had calmed down and talked to her a bit. Before I left, they checked my blood pressure again, and it had gone down considerably, so she made a note about that (Holy fuck! A doctor that actually *listens* to me). She also said that any time I wanted to just randomly check my blood pressure, I didn’t need an appointment. I could just come in and they would do it, since, you know, my arm is too fucking fat to fit in the drug store cuffs. L

                I also found out exactly how fat my ass has gotten since I went off the diet, then got sick and put on bed-rest. I am at 348 pounds. It’s okay though. I have come down from 350 before I went off the diet during the horrific period of doom. I can do it again. This time, I can push past the stupid plateau. I know it!

                Anyway, I am tired, and my left eye hurts, making my head hurt. I will do a few more things regarding tracking of the diet stuff and exercise stuff, then I will lay down. Hopefully, I won’t have insomnia or nightmares. I am really sick of that shit.
