No pictures today. But, a new outlook.
Yesterday I had yet another nose bleed. That sunk me into a vast depression. Was I going to just hang out in the hotel room and wait to start dripping blood again? I couldn’t just say “screw it” and go home – because – I don’t get my crown back until Feb 29. Shit shit shit.
Well, after lunch yesterday, I got on the bus and went to the Doc-in-Box. After a short wait – I am seeing Doctor Webb – a perfectly fine burnt out ER doctor.
He looks up my nose and says I am just unlucky to have broken a vein. And, that it will just have to heal. And, I’ll just have to wait. He could cauterize it – but, he said it was 50-50 if the procedure would help or hurt the problem. He said, if it was his nose – he wouldn’t get it be cauterized unless it wouldn’t stop bleeding.
And, he wrote me a prescription for another 12 months of blood pressure meds. (Full disclosure, I let my blood pressure prescription run out last summer – 165/118 – really should do the meds!)
Today, I went to WalMart and got BP drugs. While I was waiting I purchased 2 new bras. Hardly La Perla.
And, the best news. Weighed myself at the Doc-n-Box. Not fat. Celebrated by having a BIG chunk of bread pudding for breakfast.
NEW OUTLOOK: I’ll stay out of the ocean. I’ll lounge around. Walk 5 miles everyday. Read books. And, when I get back home I will not have to go see the doctor for BP drugs – and avoid being nagged about all the other things that the medical profession wants to do to me. And, my tooth will be fixed. I’ll just have to keep my head above water.
