Whoever said life begins at 40 is full of crap...

Okay, so my MRI was negative. HOWEVER, my ENT now wants me to see a Neurologist because there seems to be some inflammation in my right inner ear.

I'm scheduled to have my hearing/balance test next Thursday.

Then, my OB-GYN office called to say that my Vitamin D test came back. Normal ranges are betwee 20-100. Mine is 11. I'm going on Vitamin D and calcium and have to go back in 3 months for a blood work up. I'm going for a bone density test next week as well. Last thing I want to do is look like the Hunchback of Notre Dame.

Then (wait, it gets even better!!). My OB-GYN faxed my blood work up to the idiots I went to see on Saturday (I'm definitely changing General Practitioners) who INSISTED on me having ANOTHER complete blood work up done so they could prescribe something for my cholesterol. I called to find out if they received it and about a prescription for my cholesterol. Got put on hold for 10 minutes TWICE!!! They had absolutely no problem whatsoever once they got the blood work up faxed to them.

*sigh* My brain is spinning out of control from all the doctors appointments, blood work, tests, etc. Can I scream now??? The stress alone is gonna kill me.

So, when you hear the old saying "Life begins at 40", tell whoever they're full of $h!t!!!!!!!

Life may begin at 40, but I've discovered that's when the body begins to fail ... and whoever said 50 is nifty, isn't 50 yet.

...now that i'm in my 40's, the knees are going, the discs in my lumbar spine are nearly shot, and if i'm up till 10:45pm on a work night, it's amazing. but i do appreciate a sunrise, the am stillness and a good hot caffine rich cup of coffee more then ever. and when i smile, i have interesting lines around my eyes.
