Wake up call at seven am

Tests clear!

However, if I am not pmsing right now, then I'm just one moody-as-all-hell woman.

Please forgive any outbursts.

In your wedding dress, to have and to hold

SO! I went to the doctor today for a check-up. You know, full "woman check-up". So I get there. It was awesome. Then they are like "okay, time for you to put on the gown!" which was horrid. Not only was it ALREADY cold in the room, the AIR CONDITIONING was on. Apparently it was to be fixed. but IT WASN'T.

So I'm there, chillin on the table when BUZZZZZZZZ. My phone vibrates. I got a text message. I try to get off the table without losing my very revealing paper garb. SUCCESS! I get to the message and it's a 970 number. "hey whats up"
First thought was "who the hell is this?" then was "must be someone from dove creek". Then it was "Brenda would have spelled something wrong". Then "ooooooooh! Grant." Promptly I save his number again so that I won't be so confused again. So here I am, pretty much naked, texting with my ex. I text Ben, because I would much rather text Ben while nude than grant, but that just turns into a dead-end conversation.

FINALLY Doctor comes in and does the exam thing. I am much relieved. No texting while talking to the doctor!

You see, I don't like ignoring people who are texting me. I always think "what if it's urgent?" I guess they would call, but you never know!

/anti-climaxtic story.

Anyway, apparently he got back with this one chick like... yesterday? I think it was yesterday. And then last night she cheated on him soooooo... he was asking for advice. She's done this before and she just begged for forgiveness and said she changed: dump her.

Spent lots of time at home. Did laundry and went to Olive Garden with my mom and caley! then while my laundry was drying I hung out with caley and it was FUN TIMES ON THE XBOX OMG. I want one now, even though I haven't wanted one for years. And Fable II.

Anyway. Got home, tried to do statics. Was less eager when I found that calculus classes were canceled and the urge to go to microeconomics is near to zero so.... DURING THAT TIME. I've got them copied down and crap. YAY.


other stuff )

Bloodwork should be done by next week, btw. Along with female tests and std tests. Apparently my murmer wasn't too bad/ they are waiting for my tests to come back. So... I DON'T KNOW! YAY!

So I guess you have those the rest of your life?

So, I went and had a physical today. Fantastic, right?

Went in, I got my height and weight checked (5'3" and 137 pounds, which I am just fine with)

There was a massive rush to the bathrooms, so she checked my eyesight. My vision is getting worse. I used to be able to read the second to last line, now I cannot.
Still massive rush, so she checked my pulse and stuff. She didn't say anything so I assume it's all normal. She took down my family history for..the third time in my life or so.
These run in my family:
Heart problems
High colestorol
High blood pressure
skin cancer
bad allergic reactions
diabetes

I knew they all were in my family, but I couldn't remember who had what so I basically put it all on my mom's side.

Finally bathroom opened and I did the whole cup thing. THEN when trying to place the cup, there were like three other cups in the box. Disgusted, I poked the other people's stuff to the side, and placed my stuff in.
Talk about backed up.

Then got back, with a bunch of pap smear stuff laying around. Surprise, Rachel! You get to have female!physical done today! She asked if I wanted STD check, I said yes to the stuff that would be done during the female!physical, but not blood work. I HATE getting needles poked in me.
So that went all fine and dandy.

Then got my finger poked. Yay. THEN! they stopped me and were like "you need to do a TB test". Okay, doctor, okay. "Also, you need to go to a cardiologist and have an ultrasound of your heart taken"...Why? "You still have a heart murmur, so we need to have that checked out"
(my heart goes 'Thuduhthump-thump' rather than 'thump-thump', they say)
So this friday I'm going into the doctor's office to get the TB stuff finished with, then go to work, then after lunch I have to go to the cardiologist. Yay.



Then I got to thinking, what if I have serious heart troubles in the future?

I don't want to die young, that's for sure. I want to die knowing that I have lead a happy life.
But when I'm older, I'll probably be in pain. So. Much. Pain.
How can you live life knowing that you are going to get older and then have to fight to live longer? Will I be able to fight until I'm 93? or will I give up at 68?

Hopefully there really isn't much wrong. Hopefully I just have the coolest heart ever, because it just wants to go at a different beat.
We'll see, we'll see.

I actually ran yesterday. You know when I say I run, well I really just run about two minutes then walk five, run two, walk five. Yesterday, however, I was able to get myself to go about seven minutes without stopping. Then I jogged/walked home, but still! I am very proud of myself.


Also, got about 1/4 of 13th floor inventory done. Super excited.

Doctor's

Add to Memories Tell A Friend
So.
Went to the doctor.
I have massive headaches, blood in places it shouldn't be, and lovely almost-vomiting experiences.

She did the whole stomache-pushing thing. upper and lower hurt like hell. She pressed my lower back, and that hurt like a bitch.

So she thinks I have migraines, liver problems, and kindney-stones. :D
Got meds for the head that make me go loopy for the first hour. And stuff for my kidney.
If things don't get better and continue to get worse, I'm supposed to go in for an ultrasound. haha

yay.

Got dinner out of it though! score!
