Trying to Get Healthy

Jun 09, 2008 05:55PM - 1 comments

Ok, well I have been feeling really pukey this week, including today, but I realize that I am going to have to start working on getting better myself also.  I have already gone off the high carb laden diet I had on treatment and I am doing my traditional low carb again.  I realized yesterday that if I got one of those xm radios that's a handheld it would probably be much easier to get walking regularly, so I am ordering one today.  I always listen to the extreme comedy station on xm (or did back when I was driving all the time, I hardly drive at all now) and it seems like time goes by much more quickly when you are listening to something funny (or at least that's been my experience in the past when I do road trips).

I think part of this is just going to be making myself start getting back into my routine even when I don't feel the best.  It's got to be uphill from here, even if its slow climbing.

Part of the issue is that I'm just not a very patient person in general.  I want results fast.  But I don't think there is any magic pill here.  Just the passage of time and doing healthy things for my body is what I need, I'm sure.  Also, I really do, and I AM going to make the appointments to see my treating doc and my hematologist tomorrow.  No more putting this off.  I need to get my bloodwork done.

Pukey... good adjective! But, sorry to hear it. I download podcasts of recent "Wait, Wait ... Don't Tell Me" and "Car Talk" for my perambulatory intervals. Nothing like some good guffaws from Tom and Ray to get my mind of low RBC, etc.

Best wishes,
Brent
