Check-up

Yesterday, I saw my allergist for a regular check-up.  He checked all the normal stuff (ears, nose, throat, blood pressure, temperature, etc.) and asked how I was feeling.  I told him that I feel fine, but I occasionally have a slight nose-bleed.  I wasn't concerned with it because it was one of the possible side-effects of my medication, but was otherwise harmless.  He agreed that it was probably harmless, but recommended that I cut back to using it just once a day, rather than twice.

Why does any of this matter?  Because, after this visit, I won't be seeing him again for a year.  I like the doctor just fine, but I like even more that I've made such progress.  I've been to the emergency room four times this year (including this year, I've been to the ER a total of six times), but now I've made enough progress that I won't need another check-up for twelve months.  That's pretty awesome.

I finally found your shoe story. It is wonderful. I took a writing class last year and my teacher was always telling me to show and not tell the story. I found it hard to understand,but you did a good job and helped me understand what she was trying to tell me.Do keep on writing stories. I love you, my sweet Jordy.
