Happy Friday
Mar. 31st, 2006 05:28 pmWell, the doctor's appointment today got me… ta-da! Nothing! He said that my tingling body parts problem sounds like paresthesia, but he did some tests on my feet--where I feel the tingling most often--that involved poking at and moving various parts of them in unusual ways, and he didn't find anything that suggested nerve damage when he examined me. They could have done some weird neurological testing where they poke needles into me and administer electric shocks, but the doc said that, given the results of his examination, the tests probably wouldn't find anything, either, so I'd get poked and prodded for no real benefit. I guess the option is there, though, if I want it.
Also, my blood work was, apparently, free and clear for any of the more serious conditions that might cause this kind of symptom, like diabetes. So, I guess it's a relief to hear that it's probably nothing serious, but it's also frustrating as hell, because I *still* don't have an explanation! I'm just supposed to keep tabs on the tingling issue, see if it gets worse, blada blada. I mean, I'm glad it's not something horrifying, but, well, "keep an eye on it," wasn't exactly the answer I was looking for. Sigh.
I completely flipped out at J after work yesterday, and I don't entirely know why. For some reason I went from "irritated" to "yelling like a crazy lady," and I *never* yell at people. Ever. I swear, I am completely losing it this week. WTF?
I managed to train for a little over an hour yesterday, and blew off some steam. I have a potential 3rd section for broadsword, I think... it seems like it's working out, anyway. I still feel so weak, though! I ran through nanquan to try and clean up the form some, I got tired way, way earlier than usual. I'm seriously worried about how I'm going to do, just because of the way my body seems to be crashing lately. Still, it was good just to be practicing!
Today has been better than yesterday, but a lot of that is my own doing. :) I had some store credit at a local shop, because I wanted to return something I bought, but they don't do cash returns. ::eyeroll:: So, I decided to finally use that and pick up a couple things. The massage therapist was also in the office today, so I grabbed the last timeslot and got a massage. Oh yeah, and today also involved payday and free muffins. Who doesn't love money and muffins? Woo!
Apparently, we are hitting the movie theater tonight, after I get done training. Sunday is the long-awaited group photoshoot, so that'll be much fun! The rest of the weekend is free and clear, so we'll see what happens! I think I'm going to try to relax and catch up on sleep, because I'm apparently way more stressed out than I'm willing to admit.
