Headaches, nausea and dizziness... not a pretty sight.

Before you stop reading this let me warn you it is going to take a turn to the absurd due to what we all seem to do these days, Googling our medical symptoms.

Now don’t you deny it I know that you have done it too?

The funny part is the gamut of what any of our results might be with a diagnosis usually from benign to fatal! If nothing else it does make you end up running to a living breathing medical professional with fear!

The only reason I am laughing, well not out loud but in my belly and oh what a BIG belly, and silently drumming that laughter, is that I AM STILL ALIVE!

Funny how according to the worst of the diagnosis for mine today I have all the qualifying results for a “brain tumor”, ordinarily that wouldn’t be funny at all but when I read that it continues to remind of that movie with Arnold Schwarzenegger in Kindergarten Cop movie circa 1990: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kindergarten_Cop, where one of the little ones suggests when he tells them that they are giving him a headache, “maybe you have a brain tumor”, and he replies “no I don’t have a BRAIN TUMOR!”, in his heavy Austrian accent, hysterical!

Used to like him, that is his movies, sadly he proved to be not so nice after all.

Any-who, thus my reasoning for giggling inside of myself and I was able to discount “a brain tumor”, since even though I met the criteria for each symptom… that is all except one, losing weight, ha!

Yes, brain tumors benign or cancerous seem to be followed by that, a huge loss of weight factor.

So I am good, not happening here!

Who said being a fatty was unhealthy?

Ahhhhhh, methinks I am on to something.

Being fat is unhealthy, but being a skinny smoker is too!

Confusing, since I have been both, and to be honest I felt better being a skinny smoker, oops! Kids ignore that.

You know how every week it seems that cholesterol should kill you by eating all that fat and now they have changed that it has no effect on you since high cholesterol has to do with heredity, uh oh my parents had it, but NOT obesity or high blood pressure, so where do they come from? Neither had diabetes or hypothyroid either.

I’ll tell you from DOCTORS and their Medications!

(A matter of opinion, mine.)

Moving on…

That above was another dead horse I have to prevent myself from continuing to beat.

The weather here in beautiful southwest Florida has given us once again bragging rights; our next ten days will be all above eighty degrees.

Hopefully I will be back in our pool soon.

Gus, our rescue Havanese fell in a few nights ago. I was inside but Hubby was on the opposite side of the fence, he only informed me when it was all over and done and that he needed a large towel!

He has no idea why Gus went in and it clearly was an accident, because the little guy by Hubby’s report had no ability to swim, and he tried directing him to the steps but he kept trying to get up the sides no matter what he said and so he felt the little guy was exhausted and so he reached in and pulled him out!

Next project is to teach him how to get out safely.

Fortunately, the water temperature wasn’t too cold, it was in the mid-seventies, and for me though it has to be mid-eighties so in a few more weeks it should do it. Nighttime temps have continued in the sixties, so we are getting there. We do have a solar blanket but it is a pain in the neck taking it on and off, to clean the pool that does get leaves and dirt in it even with the fence. Never wanted a screened in pool, since always in Florida shading causes mildew with our high humidity in the summer months especially. Thus no screened lanais either, air-conditioned spaces or open with overhangs. This is our third home here in nearly twenty-nine years so we do know, and we closed in two screen porches to air-conditioned rooms and put in two pools with just fencing not screening.

Our lives are good, except for all my ailments I really shouldn’t complain since everyone has something, and some have really bad things according to WEB MD or even Mayo Clinic or almost any reliable site that I too have gone too… but if you can read this you too are here so allow me to be the first to wish you a very happy good night and ask you all to count your blessings and share all your overages with you know who and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!

PS I have MRI’s yearly of my brain and last year everywhere and every year they check for more lesions or other irregularities due to previous TIAs, mini strokes, and my Multiple sclerosis and as of last year all was stable another reason I am pretty sure I don’t have that tumor! Probably my allergies and sinuses working over time, which I had been dx’d with for years and years!
