My Doctor Said....

that I need to use Rogaine, wear support hose, pop some Xanax, and that I was fat last year!!! LOL No joke!

I had my "annual" yesterday (TMI, I know) and I asked her why my hair was falling out... Her answer - hormones, more than likely. She said the Yasmin was suppose to help, but that Rogaine would be a good idea...

She noticed my legs were swollen pretty good...and said that due to poor circulation and vein issues, support hose should be worn..to avoid bulging veins later on in life. Nice.

I asked her about some anxiety meds and she asked if I wanted some Xanax! I said no, that THAT made me pass out (sleep) and I didn't need something that strong... I have no idea what she faxed in, but it will be on my door step in about two weeks I guess!

And... at my Dr's office, they take your picture, so that when you come in, they can make sure you are the real you - identity theft problems - well, when I checked in, the receptionist said "WOW, you've lost some real weight since last year. You really look good!" Um, to everyone reading this... I've lost some fat, gained some muscle, but I didn't think I looked too different. Maybe a tad thinner. Maybe. But, according to her, you'd thought I weighed 300lbs last year. Nice. And just for the record, I'm a pound heavier than last year. LOL

You could say I'm in a better mood than yesterday, so far. Sorry about the rant, but it needed to come out. I've found a new thing this morning (new for me)... It's Christian radio. I've never listened to it before. My new fave - Sara Groves. Google her!

I should find out from the Vet today on Bear. Here's to praying that everything's okay, even though I know they're probably not.

Don't you just love the Dr. I mean you want them to be honest but dang, can they not sugar coat things a little bit! Sorry you had such a bad experience. Just think though, you have another year before you have to go back! :) And you need Rogaine? Really? I've never noticed your hair being that thin but maybe because I've always seen it pulled back. Ugh and Xanax does the same thing to me. I don't like when a pill can knock you out like that! How do they expect you to function!

Wow! Your doctor seems VERY blunt! LOL! I remember when mom took me and Bon for our first Pap and we were 18 and the doctors just kept going on and on and ON about how they could not believe we were still virgins! LOL! SOOOO embarrassing!

Well... if Bear's appointment goes anything like yours did, he'll need to go on a strict diet, pump himself with some steroids and go shopping for new clothes! (I hope your laughing, clearly that was a joke :)

So sorry your doc appointment was so s#*%@! :(

gotta love doctors :) more muscle less weight sounds great! I need to work on that myself! Our doctor measured my belly before I delivered baby boy and marked on the measuring tape, huge! (I did have too much fluid due to a complication but still! haha!) thanks doc haha :)

Xanax and booze are the cure all! :) Just kidding! I had to do a double take on your comment at Cammie's! :) I guess the way I view a pool boy and you view a maid are a little different! Maybe I have been married for too long! Clearly I stood corrected! :) It was a little funny though. Have a great day!

HA! Don't you just love the bluntness of doctor's offices?? I just never quite leaving there feeling good.. usually after the fact that they have to weigh you everytime.

That is crazy that they were so "blunt" aka rude at the Dr's office. My hair has been falling out like crazy too, I feel like I get handfulls when I shampoo...let me know if you try Rogaine, how it works.
