We all know how to do it; get your minds out of the gutter!
I am referring to a coping mechanism when not needing to delve into a situation and changing its circumstance for the better since you cannot do it anyway?
My mind is one heck of way to distract me and my WORD program enjoys erasing what I wrote again #&%$#@@; 764 words had been written and it is too late tonight to write it all again or even remember it all and so I will just get my point across...
When you are a semi-retired control freak, like someone as myself... it is difficult to put your life into others hands even respected professionals such as medical people.
Due to the business of medicine for these last few decades... yes before even "Obamacare", waiting rooms with ridiculous waits are nothing new, and as we feel like cattle now and then too and mistakes were had more often than most of us would like to believe... even way back then. First we were patients then clients now we are all customers that to them are rarely right!
So it is our responsibility to know as much as we can about our own personal needs and ills and then to be assured that we can tell when something could go awry.... by self educating one's self.
Although, when there is nothing we can do we must let it go… and distract ourselves with waiting for the results of this or that…!
And no pain meds for me if I can help it; they don’t work on me anyway.
Meditation, and distraction like our busy trips yesterday, with my scooter being used, at most all of the stops, as well as my cooling vest two-fold, for the usual of keeping me cool and as a pain reliever, since its cold packs, all four doubles, seem to hit my exact painful spots! I would usually take it off when indoors, in the air-conditioning, but now I leave it on since it works for both.
All in all, keeping busy even when in pain has worked best for me dealing with this portion of my life with the MS and my spinal arthritis and many other issues…
Psychologically, it does make sense, if you think about it… mind over matter…especially if you’re like me and get too many side negative affects from nasty hard stuff, narcotics…
Any-who on that note of trying to make my life not too bad after all and sharing ideas along the way… allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy good night and ask you to kindly count all your blessings and share those overages with you know who and we will too!
And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!
