Doctors visit

Friday 04.09.2009 Went to the doctor the other day, thought it was time to check on my lowered energy level (read less inclined to party 4 times a week) and discuss some other minor issues. Turns out that no way women are supposed to give blood once a quarter like I have the past 4 years. Twice a year tops doc said. So no more passing out and puking. From now on I will only volunteer to donate blood every 6 months. My aching arm turned out to be epicondylitis (tennis arm…yeah I know I’ve been overdoing it with sports lately:) and I asked if that would get me a sick note for the next 12 months. Doc lit up and proceeded to tell me that my health insurance company has an offer right now, involving 3 months in the Caribbean. Wh..? That’s as far as I got before I realized he was pulling my leg. Hmm. And because I had blood pressure 120/70 when at the docs office (even though he’s quite tasty) we agreed that I can stop with the pills. We both think that’s why my energy level is lower than usual, and even when I brought up my cough (I was so certain it was my smoking) he said that’s a possible side effect of the medicine. Hurray! The only downside is that if my blood pressure goes up I can die. But who cares? At least I’ll die with lots of energy and no cough. And in a fabulous flat!
