My health in 2009 was rather rocky. I battled, and lost at every turn, to my anemia, which is causing my hair to fall out, depression, insomnia, crankiness, you name it, I can blame it on anemia. On the bright side I had an endometrial ablation done to hopefully stop my periods (yeah, surgery to clean out my uterus is the "bright side" sad I know). Oh and they found some suspicious cells on my cervix so chopped some of that away too. When I mentioned this to my aunt she said that my grandmother had cervical cancer and survived, but they did a total hysterectomy on her to manage it.
I had a double root canal performed and a bridge installed. The double root canal was interesting since they were unable to numb one of the teeth and I almost lost my shit when the drilling started.
And my foray to weight watchers resulted in a total of about 15 lbs over 5 months and a complete stall in November at which point the scale started going up again. So I will continue to do this in 2010 to hopefully resume the losing portion of the game. And with a renewed sense of commitment to my health will track every bite that goes into my greedy mouth. And take the month of January off the wine train. Seems like that must have something to do with my inability to get my shit together, so will, in remembrance of my dad's words, "Kiddo, your bar tab and mine are the same" attempt yet again to stop drinking.
My blood pressure continues to rise, much like my weight, although not necessarily in relation to each other. When I had my surgery and was coming out of anesthesia my BP was great. So I contend that my BP is ALL mental and I just need to be anesthetized in order to manage it. The nurse thought that was a bad idea and stated that she wasn't going to make another Michael Jackson!!
My vision continues to deteriorate and I need to find a new eye doctor as I just cannot deal with the blind-in-the-dark and fine print madness that I suffer.
And that is the history of my health.
