I’m finally sitting in peace and quiet….ahhh. There was good energy all day, physically and mentally. You would think an internal exam in the middle of the day would ruin a good mood (now i have your attention huh?). I think I’ve become that patient( i know the type well since I work in an outpatient radiology office) who enjoys going to the doctor…. Some of the patients I have contact with clearly enjoy the attention and pampering they get. Who wouldn’t when you’re a mom and a wife and MRI tech whose constant focus is everyone else. Finally, once a year, a couple of hours to myself and someone else to take care of me. So what if it’s in a doctor’s office sitting naked under a paper gown. So what if it calls for an embarrassing exam? Us girls are shredded of our dignity year after year and once you given birth it’s completely gone. Although I haven’t become that patient who undresses in the hallway.
The last two years have been the best of times and the most challenging of times. We created a healthy, beautiful boy named Jake. We also created a lot of bills, sleepless nights and frustrations. Jake’s mom is broke, tired and mad…. Sometimes mad-crazy…sometimes mad-angry. How long can I say that I’m adjusting? It’s a new year… i need to start it off with a new attitude! Let’s start with some time for myself to refresh….and not in a doctor’s office.
Just another day in paradise
