My day

Today I had a very nice day. I went out shopping again with my mom. It was fine and dandy until my blood sugar went low because of my "wonderful" eating habits. She said I turned 5 shades whiter, haha. I think she is concerned about my health, and that makes my concerns "heightened". I am scared that I will keel over soon or something. Irrational, I am sure, but I am still scared. It's been a bad couple months for my health, and I have not yet gone back to the DR since after I found out I had pnuemonia. I made an appointment then cancelled it. I thought I was past the scarey part, after finding out I don't have HIV, or hep. But I am scared. Well, if I am scared I should go to a DR right? LOL... you would think. Well, thank you for listening.

ROCK ON.

Re: My day

Trish,

heeheehee... i like that smiley. Thanks. I think I'm just overly worried, but i cant get that thought out of my head. I'm not scared of dying, but maybe im just paranoid about it? I just want my body to cooperate dammit. Is that too much to ask? I dont think so. Thanks again.

hugs,
dot

Re: My day

Hi Dot,

It's surely not too much to ask for your body to cooperate, but sometimes our bodies talk to us and we have to listen. Maybe your body is trying to tell you something - like take better care of yourself, or relax, or something like that. Maybe you should go to the dr and get checked out.

Love, Anna

Re: My day

Dot

I'll make you a deal....you go to the doctor and I'll go to the dentist. I haven't made an appointment since we moved last fall, and even though I had a lot of work done before we moved, I have some major cleaning and scraping to be done.

It's scary, but you need to look after your health and the best way to do that is to have regular check-ups. So let's both make our appointments and then we can commiserate together.

Hugs
Ann

Re: My day

(((((((((((((((huggys Dot)))))))))),It would be good for you to go to the doctor's for a check up if only to ease your mind! I just went through a bunch of test and I'm fine. having someone you know die on you has a profound effect on you and it's natural to want to make sure your OK too. Do you take vits? I just took one today because my eating habbits have been crappy. I felt woozy at the carnaval and after I ate I felt better. If you have insurance,gooooooooo to the doctor!!! That is what it is there for I just bought a bunch of salad stuff to regain my healthy eating habbits again. Eat at least one good thing for you a day and you'll feel better.

Re: My day

(((((((((((Dotster))))))))))))) I can so relate to the worry about health problems...then avoiding the doctor like the plague, even if I had insurance many times I would be too scared to go. I feel exactly like you most the time..can't my body just cooperate a little??? Do what I tell it?? LOL.....it is very frustrating for sure. I hope you will decide to make that appoinment and have acaht with the ol doc, can't hurt anything you know, and it just might put your mind at ease so you can relax and enjoy yourself you know? Zoomer had a great suggestion...start with one healthy food a day. You know what they say about an apple a day....keeps the ole doctor away....LOL....Hang in there my friend......*big hugs*

Re: My day

Now Dot LOL, I don't know if I'll go that far as to not eat my Death by Chocolate,but for today I will not eat it ugh, i have to go back to the dentist too. I felt the drill last time and cryed because I was scard to death and ashamed I was being such a baby. I have yet to go back for him to finish,but I don't want to feel that drill again LOL. I'v cancled two appointments already,so i have to make another and not chicken out. Ugh, i wanted to replace my silver fillings with white ones,but why did't i just leave them alone!!!! Now I can't chew on one side because of the temp fillings and they hurt too! Yes, the dentist are more scarrier than the doctors. I with you on that one dot!!!
