doctors.......... yuck

Like any normal person, I hate going to the doctor. But since I started this diet thing I realized I really needed to go and get a physical done. I don't remember the last one I've had so Corey made an appointment for me to go today on my day off. Well it was the normal, oh you have high blood pressure stay on your meds, everything else is good, good bye appointment. This guy actually wants to see WHY my blood pressure is high. He doesn't think it was due to the birth control I was on when it was first discovered. So needless to say, I had an EKG done today, chest x-rays, blood work tomorrow, all kinds of stuff. I guess I'm glad he wants to get down to the core of the problem, and I'm also glad we have good health insurance now, but it just sucks to be pocked and proded and all that crap. He may think it's due to low potassium or genetics... So who knows. Another thing he mentioned was the fact that my feet and bending in. I've always known something was wrong with my feet and I also know my feet ALWAYS hurt when I'm on them a lot. He said I'm to young for this, so I'm being refered to a podiatrist.... We'll see how that goes. I hope there will be no surgery involved.... Sometimes I wish in times like these I had a group of friends around that I could go hangout with and just get stuff like this off my mind. But I guess all of this is my own fault for wanting to go for a physical. Corey is next. It's important for us to do these things so if something is happening it can be corrected. Next week is another appointment.... And we wont' even go into details about that one.... yuck

but on a happier note, according to the scale at the doctor's office I've lost 3 pounds!!!! Yay
