Okay, I’m done with this whole recovering thing. I’m not steadily improving every day, or at least it doesn’t feel like it, and it’s driving me nuts. The most frustrating part is a very unhappy gut. I went and saw my regular doctor’s nurse practitioner yesterday (since he was off), and her suggestion and free samples just don’t seem right to me. So, I’m taking the stubborn way and trying out my own theory and approach. With Terry’s support, by the way. I may be grumpy, but I’m not stupid.
I don’t know if it’s the gut stuff or the wonders of a rebalancing endocrine system, but today has really sucked as far as feeling stable, calm and sane. Since I really don’t want to spend a whole blog entry complaining, I’ll just leave it at that and trust that the days ahead will be a bit easier. To tell the truth, I think I’ve had it pretty easy so far, so a day like this was bound to get in there.
On the quick update report, I continue to see very slight gains in lip flexibility and palatte and teeth sensitivity. It still feels like my retainer is too tight. And no, I don’t currently have a retainer. I do hope that when I go to see Dr. Wilson on Monday, he’s going to hammer a tap into my head and drain out all the gunk in my sinuses. Bleaugh.
Got a wonderful email from a friend who has a bit of insight into the whole doctors and bow ties tangent from a week or so ago. She wrote: “there is actually a reason many doctors wear bow ties…regular ties get in the way of examinations when you have to bend over and, probably more importantly, several friends I know have had ‘out of it’ or ‘agitated’ patients try to choke them with their dangling apparel. Thought you’d like to know.” Thanks, Lisa! Not only did that make a ton of sense, but it filled me with plenty of humorous visuals with which to base either future sketches or comic strips upon!
Thanks everyone for putting up with those incredibly long entries, by the way. I have no idea if anyone is actually reading all the way through them, but it’s fascinating how time flies when I’m writing them. I’ve even realized I’ve left out a few things here and there that will have to go in future commentaries.
And thanks again to all of our friends for your continued support and various spiritual boosts. And the food. Seriously, I can’t say it enough. It means the world.
And of course, thank you Terry. You’re amazing.
