So apparently, my physical is now scheduled for Aug 28th at 3pm, which is 3 days from when my health insurance through my district expires... Not only that, but today's Women's Health appt was slightly odd. First of all, while I've not been the most health conscious and oriented person, I've always dreaded going to the doctor. Today was no different... However, I felt extremely uncomfortable today because it was a Women's Health appointment. In a way, I was fearful my doctor would tell me that I should have gotten myself checked out sooner but I guess I just dreaded finding out if there's anything wrong with me... I did get lectured about my weight gain, which I'm already working on... After the exam though, they went to do blood work on me and of course, could not find a vein... Had another nurse come in to draw the blood and finally was successful in taking out two tubes of blood...
Needless to say, now that it's over and I've been probed on the inside and out, I feel stranger. I guess it's because I worry a bit about these results. My mom has been adamant because she feels like my weight gain has something to do with my having diseases or something. She refuses to believe that I can just lose the weight and become the person I used to be. With her, something has to be wrong for me to be as fat as I am... Even as I got home last night, I got yelled at for not working out enough by my dad... He said if I didn't get my figure back while I'm young, I'd turn into my sister who never returned to her original figure after she got pregnant and had 3 kids...
I'll have my bloodwork results back by tomorrow or Monday, at the latest... and then I have to wait until August 28th for my physical... which will talk about cholesterol and etc. But at least in the meantime, I can work out for SOME results... On the flip side, the dentist appointment is next week and that's another thing that I dread... I've always hated the dentist and this trip is a long time coming... It's been years since I've seen a dentist... Personally, I've always just hated the dentist... The drill, the tools, the picking... sigh.
Wendy's right... We go to doctors just so they can yell at us for not taking better care of ourselves...
Ok, time to fill up the water bottle, and head out for a dinner date with Jenn Chu! :)
more on my day later... when I get home.
