my body is falling apart

okay, i'm pulling an "i want to tell you about my ailments". so here it goes. i think my body is falling apart. i've had some semblance of a urinary tract infection for the last few months. it seems to come & go & the two antibiotics i've taken so far have not cleared it up. this morning i noticed i seem to have developed a sty, yet again. what is the deal with those all of a sudden? so today i went to the dr. to see about my UTI and sty. i had my legs crossed as i sat on the exam table & discussed my situation with the dr. at some point i uncrossed my legs and the dr. goes, "is that a birthmark on your leg?" since i could think of nothing that even vaguely resembled a birthmark, i bent over to see what he was talking about. it was just this big red circle where one leg had been touching the other. big whoop! but thanks for noticing, doc. anyway, he proceeds to ask me if i have bad allergies. i was like, "no, not really. i've never noticed that i do." so he says, "oh, well, you just have really red blotchy skin, like you might have allergies." again, thank you for noticing. he also seemed to think i might have a yeast infection along with the uti. and this is on top of the fact that my hair continues to fall out from postnatal hormones and i think i got food poisoning over the weekend. yep, i woke up monday morning with a bad case of diarrhea. i went to the bathroom 15 times in the course of about 5-6 hours. i pretty much pooped nonstop for about 36 hours. so you can bet i was feeling great from that. so there you have it. i'm just broke down. but i sure had on a cute outfit today! ;)

Nothing like hearing about health problems with diarrhea. (A Jarrell Speciality)

I am glad my wife is not a drama queen.

Love you

I would recommend an oil change. Perhaps a small tune-up would be helpful as well.

I think I'm going to have to start using reading glasses! What's up with that? Aren't those for old people? :)

I am sorry about your ailments and your wacko doctor who noticed a red spot on your leg!

Hope you're feeling better today!!

Hey Kristen, at least you don't have a real old person's disease like arthritis!

Unknown said...

Kristen said...

man, i would hate to know what old age will be like if this is my 20's! and i have more compassion for the daily pain of something like arthritis. at the rate i'm going, i'm guessing that's just around the corner!
