One Pill Makes You Larger

Yesterday I went to the doctor for my pre-physical and so far I am healthy... EAT THAT WORLD! Well, I was told I do need to loss weight, which I already knew. While talking about exercise I mentioned that even though I usually get eight hours sleep I toss and turn all night, and I wake up usually just as sore as the day before and tired, so she prescribed me a muscle relaxer to take at night. It's suppose to relax me or I as I call it knock my ass out so I don't toss and turn as much.

Then I just happen to mention that when I do get a little stress I have the tendency to sweat. The nurse practitioner mentioned I might have a slight tendency to get anxious so she prescribed me another medication for that. I'm suppose to take one when things get a little hectic which in news is every day.... some times twice on Tuesdays, some Thursday, oh Mondays suck... OK all the freaking time. With this pill I'm hopping when things get a little bit too much to handle it will allow me not to over think and keep my head from racing.

I truthfully never though I'd be the person who has to take pills. I know a lot of pills are helpful, but it seems like a lot of people take them as a crutch. Oh I'm taking this for my feet, and this one for anxiety, this one because I get depressed, oh yeah and this one for blood pressure. I hope I'm not falling into that trap and I'm taking pills because the doctor thinks they will help instead of finding another way.

Good News

It's been one week since I hurt my hand and I was happy that today was my appointment with the orthopedic specialist. I was worried about what was wrong, but I just wanted to know how bad it actually was.

After The Wife and I filled out reams or paper work we go back to a room and the doctor decides to see how much pain she can inflict. I scream at least two times, I may have screamed more, but I may have blacked out from the pain. It is discovered that I did not break a bone in my hand and my tendon is not torn. So what happened then? Well the two tendons in question pass through a little "tube" in your hand. I broke the tube and the tendon's popped out then went back in, so I have tissue damage and I now wear a nifty splint and can't lift anything for 4 to 6 weeks.

I am very happy that I do not have to have surgery, but I am a little sad. JDOG-17 did a story about a physical therapy center using the Nintendo Wii for therapy. I was trying to figure a way that I could get one and have worker's comp pay for it. I also will not be getting a helper monkey.
