spryng | Self Care

Today, I drove the kids instead of biking because I was feeling woozy. I've been cycling through days of being absolutely floor-fatigued and days of being kinda-sorta all right for almost a month now and it's starting to feel like this is Just My Life Now. But not being able to bike is a bigger deal; I'd at least been able to push through before.

So I got on my computer to make an appointment with the doctor, only to remember I hadn't actually done the blood draw she'd requested the last time I saw her. Damn. I know she'll ask for that, so I put on my big girl panties and went and did it. Being woozy/tired actually helps, because then it's harder for me to get wound up and faint, which is 100% why I'd been putting it off in the first place. I hate fainting, none of the labs here have places to lay down and get it done, so... I just didn't.

But that's the first thing a doctor would want to check. So. And I followed up and figured out why the radiology department keeps calling me, even though I went back in July. Now I have an MRI scheduled for Thursday.

There: self care. I didn't like a single bit of it, but sometimes that's just how self care goes. Hopefully these are steps in the right direction with figuring out what the hell is going on, because I am so tired of being tired.
