11/20/2005: "And in conclusion..."

Okay, so Thursday played out exactly the way I thought it would. I had my last MRI and check-up with my doctor. Left home at noon. Pulled back into my drive-way at 6:30. crazy The good news is I'm fine, but then I knew I was fine. The other bright spot is I adore my doctor...but I'm not sure that even he was worth that 6 1/2 hour time investment. hehe

Regardless of the time issue, I'm extremely thankful I was given a clean bill of health. I'm also thankful that once we finish The Girl's soccer tournament today (two games yesterday) that soccer is over. Woohoo! I'm ready for a break from 2-3 practices a week and a game every week-end. Basketball starts Dec 1, but her dad's in charge of that. big grin

So instead of schlepping to soccer practice, I've signed up for kickboxing. I've done it before and not only is it a great stress release, it's a darn good workout and it doesn't require a high degree of coordination (always a bonus for me). It's just what I need with the holidays and two looming deadline. I've really struggled with finding the time to fit in exercise lately, but I'm committed to carving that hour or hour and a half for myself every day. My sanity and health (and my waistline) are worth it. smile

Thanks, Mica and Kim. Ya know, with all the x-rays, bloodwork, and MRI's, if I could've had them do a pap smear while I was there...would've saved yet one more visit to another doctor's office. LOL! Unfortunately, I don't think the orthopaedist is outfitted for that and I suppose it would've been a bit unorthodox. big grin

"Some men admit they avoid confrontation (about breaking up) because they’re afraid we’ll cry. Of course we’ll cry; we cry at Hallmark commercials. What they don’t understand is that we’re not crying because of them, we’re crying because now we have to get naked in front of someone else.”
