Silver Lining

Well, another day missed. But I do have a great excuse, more on that in a minute.


Silver Lining:

It all started last Thursday. I was hanging out in the greatest Pub in the free world, The Parrots Cay, when I spotted a friend of mine, we'll call her Suzy, dancing with a really old guy singing karaoke. Well, I couldn't help myself. I started teasing her big time. She then decided to slap me. I acted like it didn't hurt (being all macho) so she slaps me 3 times....hard. I blocked the 4th one and told her to stop. Anyway, fast forward to the next morning. Yep, you guessed it, my jaw hurt. I told myself I'd give it a week to heal before I went to the doc (I'm allergic to docs, except you Tina). Just wait, the silver lining is coming.

So at the doctors office I find out my jaws not broke. Apparently when we get older it takes more time for us to heal. But I also found out that I have really high blood pressure. I mean the doc was really concerned. Despite my efforts, he talked me into going on some meds to help control the blood pressure. He basically told me if I didn't take the meds I may have a heart attack or stroke at any time.

Oh wait, there's supposed to be a silver lining right?? So here it is, if "Suzy" doesn't slap me, I don't go into the doc for a long time knowing me and maybe I tip over at home..... Man, everything happens for a reason I guess.

This is a to be continued deal....I get to have a full physical in a couple weeks. I guess it's time since I haven't had one since 1998.

It could be worse:

Alright, I was walking in the mall yesterday and feeling pretty sorry for myself when I saw a flyer for a young, vibrant gal that is fighting some nasty cancer. Enuf said.

Life Coach:

Take care of yourself, don't treat your body like a cheap amusement ride or you may become me. I've been working on the mental side and well.....I neglected the physical side. This isn't about looking good in a bikini (I wear a one piece) or fitting into a wedding dress, this is about being around to see your grand kids.

Homework:
Do something healthy, I can't believe I just wrote that.
