back from the doc.

[scottobear]

almost didn't get in, because they claimed I needed a referral. Nobody told me, so I raised a little ruckus. The doctor saw me. It's a shame that you have to make noise to be dealt with in health care around here. I don't know how it is in other parts of the USA, but I imagine it's the same.

told I need to keep a better eye on what I eat, (too many carbs, it would seem.) and that no surgery is going to be forthcoming, at least not in the immediate future. going to try a few more moderate solutions first, improved diet, and more regular sleep scheduling.

Also, going to get back on my workout schedule. 5 miles before work, minimum four days a week. (it'll help me schedule my sleep better, too.) Start hitting the sack at midnight, and getting up at 8am. 15 minute warm-up, hour & a half walk, 15 min cool down before work should get me fit in no time. :) Get all the bits and pieces up and running.

Also, I'm going to take it easy on the vending machine... off soda again, off the sweets. too easy to eat junky candy-stuff.

Going to get back into juggling, too. I plan on learning pins and rings comfortably by christmas. I'm guessing an hour a day before bed will serve.

Was it just a check up or was your appointment for something more serious? Hope you don't mind me asking but I just need to know what you're dealing with here!!

I think I need to try your plan and get off my butt. No, I *know* I need to try it. :)

just a follow up for the cpap sleep disorder thing. the device is working very well, so they say if I lose a little weight, and get my lungs pumping better, surgery might be unneeded. :)

getting in better shape is always a good idea, anyhow. :)

there is a boy at home named john (http://www.livejournal.com/talkpost.bml?itemid=463160).
last year when it was hard for me to find a reason to smile, he was there.

he's beautiful, and he reminds me of warren zevon.

he rides a unicycle and he's a jongleur. he's a unitarian.

um. nevermind. i just was reminded of him. i like being reminded of him; thanks.
