First of all HEALTH are a great band. Listen to them. I am psyched to get their new release GET COLOR when it comes out Sep 8.
I finally got around to seeing a proper doctor courtesy of the lovely people over at Quality Family Practice in Branchville. Very great and laid back atmosphere. I got to spend more than five seconds talking to the Doc about all of my various health concerns and issues.
A while back I had an EKG done as part of a routine check up after some other issues I was having. There was a strange little blip on there that they said I should have checked out by a cardiologist. Unfortunately at the time there were other things I was a bit more focused on taking care of so I didn’t get an opportunity to check up on my heart since then. Good news is what I have is some sort of electrical irregularity that Dr. Saradarian assures me is not a problem. Though, given my family’s history of cardiac problems she said we should just keep a close eye on my cholesterol.
Furthermore we talked about my nagging shoulder pain, which seems to be in my shoulder girdle. The Doc prescribed a session over in physical therapy so they can teach me some exercises to straighten that out (hopefully). Also, they are taking blood from me to get me checked out for lyme and syphilis and the gout and what have you. We also both agreed that Rowlf is our favorite Muppet. The general consensus is that Stress has caused every major medical condition I have had in the last few years.
This is all good. It has been a very very long time since I have seen a health care professional that instilled any amount of confidence in me whatsoever. Usually I’m in the office, they look in my facial cavities hand me some pills and send me on my way are you insured ok copay is 15 dollars thanks have a nice year.
Also I had no idea that Restless Legs Syndrome is real. I swear I am not a hypochondriac.
