General medical maintenance Mood

Tuesday, March 25, 2008 | A General Update story

Well, spent most of my day at different Dr's offices. Got a pap smear done - something I do maybe once each decade, then had my eyes checked for glaucoma. First one end, then the other. Everything looked fine. I have another dr appt Thurs. My gen/doc must help me find out what is happening with my legs! Since I went to the zoo (see photos), my leg muscles have been awful. Very weak and getting worse. I've been to see him once about this three weeks ago. Thurs. he's going to take me more seriously!!! I've been taking muscle relaxers and pain meds on my own til now. He needs to help me out. I hate physical PAIN!!! Other than that, my mind is still clear and I'm not depressed or manic. Must be thankful for that.

Hug littl...

I think it's always a good sign when we start beter taking care of ourselves physically. Sounds like a good day.

Pap smears are so fun aren't they? HA. Still I'm glad you're getting things marked off the list so you can concentrate more on what's bothering you. Hope that makes sense I just woke up *g*.
You take that family Doc by the lapel and threaten him with calling every half an hour and jamming his office and home fax if you have to- go get em! ((hugs)))

What do your legs feel like? I have sciatica and my legs feel like they are in a vice grip. It hurts so bad I know how you feel. Hopefully your doctor can figure something out and treat the pain effectively.

Seems like a good sign your addressing your health needs. Even the ever-popular pap smear! Haha. I'm sorry your doc isn't listening; I think some med schools require graduates to display an unhealthy sense of skepticism and arrogance. Glad your mental health is good!
