Sinus Infection...uuugh

So I went to the doc today because I knew I was getting a sinus infection and the doc confirmed what I already knew what was coming. As I like to say, seen that movie and I know how it ends...

He also is sending me to see a Physiatrist (sp?) for my back. I had an MRI back in OCT and I have degenerating discs in my low back. Apparently what this Dr does is bascially evaluate where you are at and then make a program geared toward recovery. I've already left a message for them which is huge step for me as I typically have been bad about helping myself.

I'm also going to take a "wellness" physical which is basically a physical but without Mr. "Magic Finger". Basically they just do some bloodwork and I figure it's been so long so why not - although I haven't called yet...but I will!

My blood pressure has also been a little high the last couple of times I went in and I told them my sister dealt w/that so it is in my family. I would like to drop about 20 or so lbs - thanks mom for posting that picture on your blog which I now use for motivation. I actually lift weights every day, but I'm bad about cardio and I like to drink the hoppy beer so I just have to cut back.

That's it I'm out, I have to go apologize to Rush Limbaugh

PEACE!

First...I'm glad you're getting everything checked...that back of yours has been a problem since you were a teenager!

Second...I think you're like the rest of us in the family...we "take it" for a long time before we do something.

AND

Third...I thought you looked super cute in that photo!

Love ya...Mom
