The Doctor, Exercise and the rest
It has been way too long since i have blogged an entry. I have allowed everything to become a distraction and not done a whole lot. I will record what I remember from this week.
Monday- I went off to work and flat forgot to take some food. i did have my coffee though :p LOL Having money and no food isn’t the best way to start things off. generally Mondays are not the day in which I eat the most healthy food anyway :) I had a bag of Doritos from the vending machine (ok so yeah, it starts) I then had some wheat crackers and cheese. Way too processed and not necessarily good. Yeah, I know friends who wouldn’t be all that happy that I went the entire day basically without food.
I was sitting at my desk and the pain in my chest was really annoying and beginning to hurt quite a lot. I would describe it as more than moderate but less than severe. i called my Dr and made an appointment as soon as the Doc could see me. i want to resolve whatever this is so i can get back to exercising.If I know what manner of error it is I can go about figuring out what needs to be healed in order to make it go away.
Dr Hugh was able to see me tomorrow (Tuesday) at 1:30 Much sooner than I expected so major yay. Things at home are quiet… REAL quiet.
Dinner on the way to Bible study was my really great tasting Taco with Sour cream and a cup of coffee. I went to bible study and had snacks while watching Miyah :) 100 calorie pack of Harvest Cheddar Sun Chips. I also had some teryaki chicken jerky. I got home and decided not exercise. best wait to hear what the Dr says.
Tuesday- I had coffee of course… Today I brought some of the plain yogurt/fruit mix that I made. I think I am beginning to develope a taste for it. I headed to the Dr’s at 12:30 as I wanted to make sure I had enpough time to get there. After asking me a few questions and probing and pressing… OW! he said i have Costochondritis. In english that means that one of the ligaments that attach my ribs to my breastbone is inflamed. The doctor could only say that a lifting or stretching motion most likely caused it. He has written me a script for some anti-inflamatories. I scooted back to work and only managed to lose an hour so thats not too bad.
After work, i had Photography class. I brought some carrots and Brocoli to eat on the way. Both were raw and tasted good :) I ended up parking some distance from class so a walking i did go. I got some really great feedback on the photos I took. However, I didn’t have time to stop at the pharmacy on the way to school so I’ll have to get my pills after dinner tomorrow night.
I got home and as I was trying to shimmy out of my jacket, it was very painful :/ Ron happened to see me grimmace and asked what was wrong. *rolls eyes* After I told him everything he started acting like he needed to DO something. He about freaked trying to figure out how to get me my meds tonight. I know he is thinking of me but he just spent that last how many days not talking to me and talking about leabving. I see this as his way of finding a reason to stay. *rolls eyes… again*
