Doctor, Doctor

The last doctor's appointment you made was because...
{2013}

 I have mental health issues. Okay, that sounds far worse than it is. Let's try depression, anxiety, etc. I guess when you get diagnosed with a chronic illness, they like to make sure you're okay. Which, I'm not. I struggle some days more than others, but it's okay. It's life. What can we do? I do like the psychologist though. He's been a great help.

Photo: The other night I was looking online for {One} Direction shirts to wear to their concert in about a week and a half (YAY!!) and Greg comes up and tells me I'm not going to buy a shirt. I tell him yes I am because I figure he's just being Greg and hating on 1D, but then I get this in the mail (plus some cute clothes) from @adriennehoge and some girls from her office who are also @onedirection fans! #onedirectionfandomunite! Jk, but I love it and can't wait to wear it 24/7. Oh, and did I mention I'm going to their concert in less than a couple weeks? #excited #mydailyhappy365

7 Things

List 7 this about the last seven days.
{2012}

 

1. Had my second appointment with my rheumatologist. It was okay. He just gave me results, put me on a new med, and had his nurse give me a flu shot. Why he hasn't fixed me yet, I don't know. How hard can it be? (Said with sarcasm)
2. Got my hair done. I finally decided to cut it because it was getting too hard to manage. I wonder what I'd look like if I were bald.
3. Had a bit of a melt down at work. With everything that is going on with my health I'm a tad bit more sensitive than normal. They are changing the way of tellers so now we will be expected to do everything, but it's not going to work. It just won't....
4. Called in sick for the 4th time this month. My new meds can make my stomach hurt and I puked this morning. It's been a while since that had happened.
5. Went to a Stake Relief Society dinner. I've never been to one. Now I remember why. Good message, not so great food and didn't know many people.
6. Got to ride in the car with my husband for about 6 hours last weekend. Good times, good times.
7. Had a fabulous 4 days of not working last weekend. I need more breaks.

Thankful

What are you thankful for?

{2012}

 

I'm grateful for people who are willing to spend a lot of years going to school to specialize in various health fields.

 

People who are willing to put in a good word out help me get into different doctors.

 

People who are genuinely concerned about me.

 

A great hubby who is willing to go to my doctor appointments with me... who will let me cry, but only for a minute before cracking some joke to get me laughing... who will slow down for me, will help me stand up, will help me in and out of the tub, will help me with my hair out get dressed.

 

My health... I'm still alive and I can go about my daily activities, with only a few minor troubles.
