Newness
So far, 2010 rocks. I haven’t had to work a single day all year! (Insert raucous, canned laughter following a cymbal crash.)
I want to take better care of myself this year. My recent episode of SVT (two? weeks ago?) sucked in a big way, and I had to have Adenosine twice. It probably feels different to different people, but for me, it HURTS. Like HELL. It feels like something large has landed on my chest and is bearing down, crushing me. My heart doesn’t feel like it’s skittering anymore - it feels like it has stopped, for longer than the nanosecond the drug causes it to. If that’s anything like what an actual heart attack feels like, then dear God… I need to walk the straight and narrow, lest I feel it for real one day.
One day seems to be getting closer and closer. I had a visit to the girly doc today, and will be getting a CA-125 test done soon. Fun. Not necessarily for the reasons one might think, but still.. scary. I need to be cleared of all girly causes for a symptom I am having, thus multiple tests have and will be completed, so that I can go on to my next specialist with my shiny new results showing that the ball is in their court.
Thus far this year I’ve have my teeth cleaned and my bits checked. 2 for 2, I am! Go me in my quest for preventive health care! (Let me try to get my health taken care of before Nobamac@re screws up the entire system.)
Taz has begun to exhibit odd twitching movements. At least, he’s done it twice in front of me, and it weirded me out. I don’t know if it’s a bunny running o’er his grave (shudder), or an actual symptom, but I’m going to see if it continues. Please, Lord.. not another sick animal.
Abigail is having serious issues with her back legs. The tendons have relaxed a great deal, secondary to a long regimen of high-dose steroids, but there’s not much we can do about that right now.
The cat is fine. Fat, particular and persnickety, but fine.
It’s a beautifully clear night, and the stars look like diamonds. The observatory just opened up for viewing, too. Hmm. I may grab Mister for some serious gazing.
Happy New Year! Tah!
