Lately I've really had to plan my life around taking meds and being really careful about what I eat and don't eat. All part of the process of recovering from anemia. It's also a gradual start to rethinking how I live to deal with an underlying condition I've been diagnosed for a while.
It gets depressing as hell sometimes. And I will be very glad if I never have to walk into a hospital/drs office in the next year or so.
I was getting my medical for the states sorted and my mum said she had lost my baby immunization book. So we had no proof of my shots. The doctor said I would have to get quite a few shots again. Including the polio one I think.
Geez man...if I'm 21 and have no signs of developing polio thus far what are the odds right? I was really pissed at my mum...specially since she had my brother's baby book.
Maybe a bit unfair since she probably wasn't expecting that to come in handy 20 years later. But I didn't really want to get anything more jabbed into me.
Things are looking up though! She found the baby book. Due to my guilt tripping about her being a negligent mother who loved my brother more (I know, I'm going to hell) she went through her records a third time.
She finally found it. So I can skip the unnecessary shots. Yay!
So even though it feels like I'm swimming upstream sometimes I have to remember it's not all bad. It could be worse.
And something I didn't know I wanted is just around the corner waiting to make me happy. I just know it.
Now I just have to believe that for a while.

Aww, dear... I know she didnt mean to misplace ur records. My mum frustrates me sometimes too. But i think having kids makes u scatterbrained.
Hehee yeah. She found it in the end though! So all is well. Omg can you imagine the two of us having kids? We'd leave them somewhere and remember them halfway thru cocktails. ;)
