This month has been long and trying already. I'm doing well with all of my resolutions. I'm focused on the fitness training certification, really on top of my finances, and been working hard at working out. I'm proud of the direction that I've been going and continue on. I know I'm on the right path for myself.
This week was just crazy. Fitness-wise, I went to yoga, a new kickboxing class and went swimming. LOVED the kickboxing class! It was great to have my yoga class start back up. And swimming last night felt really good.
My back started back up last Wednesday and when we had the 1/2 marathon relay race last Saturday, I was struggling to finish up the laps I did. My back was throbbing at the end. This past Wednesday I had my first appointment with a new chiropractor and the second was this morning. I'm already scheduled for 3 for next week. My back is just bad. But I can already feel a difference and I know taking a break from running is helping even though I miss it.
Work was busy but I might have a new lead on cross selling another account for 3 new sales, which would mean 3 more commission bonuses! YAY for me! I really hope that works out for me and gives me the boost I need to keep going on sales calls. The bonus each month would be great.
I'm still processing the results of a doctors appointment I had yesterday. At this point I'm basically terrified to go to any doctor again. I guess in a way I'm lucky that I have good doctors I've been going to for years who are not afraid of ordering tests or sending me to specialists. But the bad part is... they are always right! There is always a need for the specialist.
Last May I was sent for additional tests from one doctor, which happened in June. The second was in December and I was told I'll be back every 6 months for 2-3 years to continue watching to see if anything changes.
In December I saw another doctor. He said he's been watching something for years and wanted me to get further tested as a baseline best case with a small small chance that something is wrong now. That small small chance? Yeah, fall in that part. Something is wrong.
I got another call from another doctor today because I fall into a category of a study that is going on at that hospital. My options, start in the study next month by having further testing or wait 4 months for further testing. I went for being in the study and getting the testing now to see if any treatment might make a difference by starting now instead of waiting.
I'm still trying not to freak out but that's hard to do. I know I'm at a top 10 hospital in the world for this and the doctor I saw yesterday is the head of this department... so I know I'm in the best hands possible. And I'm only at the very very beginning. And I'm lucky that MY doctor sent me for the testing. Without it, things would continue without me knowing and without symptoms until things progressed much further. I'm trying to focus on that part.
But still, LOTS to process. LOTS.
So my life continues with the normal ups and downs that I have gotten used to. I have great people around me, great support and I try to keep a positive attitude. My boyfriend is incredible and has been so supportive. Whenever anything rough hits with me, he's at his best. I absolutely love him for that and everything else.
I keep going, one foot in front of the other, seeing where my life is going.
