Well, I went for my physical on Saint Patrick’s Day. I’m overall fine. I’m going to be on Nexium for two months to see if my ulcer/whatever clears up. If not, I’ll see a gastroenterologist? I think that is the word. Anyway, they ran an EKG just in case and I’m doing just fine. Everything has checked out so far. During Easter I’ll go in later for the blood work and such.
My mom went with me, as we always have our appointments on the same day. She had a clean bill of health minus some ear wax build up. Well, that didn’t last long. Friday night something started. She went to the ER to have it checked out Sunday and is now on some meds. She thinks it is a urinary thing.
To add on to all of this, my brother came by for dinner and later asks about my dad’s eye. Apparently he has complained to my brother during his visit about his eye bothering him – so much for letting the members of the family he lives with know. Well, be it by my mom or someone else in the family, my dad will get his eye checked on. Last thing needed is some sort of infection and all that.
Monday I went to the dentist for my usual check up. I seem to be doing well. She says I am taking care of my teeth just fine. I spoke about my change of diet and asked questions. If anything, I’ll likely add in some fluoride mouthwash. It seems all my teeth issues were from my time of drinking so much soda due to dry mouth. Yeah, I’ll be paying for that the rest of my life I guess.
I have a lot of weak places and my gum line needs to be focused on a lot. I’ll have to go back on April 15th for two cavities to be filled. Despite my good job, I still have all of those weak points and various cavities that aren’t so bad that they need to be fixed right away. Joy.
