Went to the doctor and yay, muscle relaxer meds. That and a few other things for a possible cold, and something that looks like it might be a form of arthritis medication.
I feel old. I don't think I look at the meds and go, "Lovely, I get to be medicated for all that ails me," but I hate the idea of feeling like I'm falling apart. After describing my symptoms to the doctor, I'm going have an appointment set up for an MRI scan. I love this doctor, who is my regular one. Her motto is, "Hey, look. They may gripe that it costs them a few bucks here and there, but I want to know what's going on. And, if the tests come back without any issues, then meh. At least we know you're ok."
Yesterday and today, since I've been feeling like not doing much of anything, I've slacked on chores. Dishes need to be washed, carpet vaccuumed. As I like to call it, the Goddess inside doesn't like the clutter. When it's clean, she's happy. All that feng shui kind of thing, I believe it. The more crap you have in a place, the less Ahhhhh there is. Maybe hubby will do dishes? Hmmm. Nah. It's no one's favorite.
Anyway, still tickin' along. Tomorrow I hope that I'll be more functional than a couch potato.
Better safe than sorry, ne? This way you can find out if it's "just" headaches, or if the aliens abducted you and stuck some kinda brain-eating zombie-probe/ tracker thing in there. Or, you know, if your sinuses are just shaped funny.
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog!
ReplyDeleteI bet foraging this weekend will cheer you up. Both Kris and I have Saturday off, and I was thinking that I will assert any lingering birthday power to get people foraging.
Hey, count me in. I'm currently on muscle relaxers for my neck and that's dulling it down 90% so I'm completely functional (yay! Meds! haha). But definitely, if you guys are going foraging, let me know. I still have the autumn olives I have to mush up. Planning to do something with them tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteOh! Think Kris has that autumn olive jam recipe her Mom made? I think I tried that last year. Was delicious!
