auntbijouSo, I finally had enough yesterday and called the doctor, making an appointment. I was a little tired of the up and down, I feel great one day, feel lousy the next roller coaster, you know? I felt great while it was raining, because all the pollens and molds were down. Molds are still down but two of my big Achille's heels where tree pollens are concerned are exploding right now, and Auntie is one miserable little ball of woe.
So, the PA listened to my lungs, which are mostly clear except for a suspicious little rattle in the left, so... I'm on antibiotics. And I got a steroid shot. Why? Well, I've had pneumonia more times in the last three years than I've ever had in my life and you know, I just don't want to go there again, if I can prevent it!
And yes, I had my pneumonia vaccination last year. They last five years.
Didn't stop me from getting it again. Besides, the shot only prevents the bacterial kind of pneumonia, not the viral.
Anyhow, I've had my steroid shot (which I hate, by the way, but not as much as I hate the Medrol pack!), and should be perking up today. This would be good, because the kitchen needs some seriousexcavating cleaning.
I am also considering cutting my hair very, very short. Why, you ask? Well... it's very thin, and very straight now, and... driving me up the proverbial wall. It's so fine now (because all the curly hair is gone) that it flies up constantly, and on dry days, it's alive with static, clinging to everything and it makes my face ITCH!!
And y'all, it is a sad, sad day when you look down to pet your cat and instead of the cat's hair sticking to YOU... you find YOUR hair... sticking to your CAT!!
Yes, I know, poetic justice and all, and Yuki looked mightily affronted about it. Still, there it is, and the only thing that has kept me from having it all cut off are the Husbandly One's hurt looks whenever I mention it. He likes it when I have long hair. And I admit, I like being able to braid it and get it out of the way. But... long hair only works when it STAYS ATTACHED TO YOUR HEAD!!
So... I'm thinking about it. But if y'all hear a man's pathetic wail from down our way, y'all will know Auntie went and cut it all off.
... we'll see.
