A Weight off my... shoes?!

Some of you are aware that my health this year has not been what I would have wished it to be. I'm always tired. When I walk home from work in the afternoon, at times I am so exhausted that all I can do when I get home is crawl into my bed. I also have been getting some pretty bad headaches during the day, so much so that one day I had to leave work early. Last week, I eagerly went to the doctor to try to figure out what the problem could be. The doctor's office just happened to be at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, a hospital in Beverly Hills where many famous people go. (Case in point: it's where Dennis Quade and his wife had their twins). I chose my doctor from this hospital because my insurance is a little sketchy and a few of the doctors I had called previously were not very encouraging. In other words, I wouldn't want them to be my doctor. I knew that if I could find a doctor at my insurance from this particular medical center, even if their office was not at the hospital, they would be legit.

So up I went, to the 11th floor of the hospital. A plastic surgeon rode with me up to the 10th floor. And the doctor's office was nice and inviting, the nurses accomdating with my insurance plan. However, when the nurse went to weigh me, she first weighed me and then told me she was subtracting two pounds for my shoes. How crazy! Only in Beverly Hills! My shoes that I was wearing that day didn't even weigh two pounds. Besides that fact, I am happy with how I weigh. What difference does two pounds really make?!

We discovered that I had a sinus infection, something that I was expecting. I am feeling much better this week. However, the blood test they did revealed some abnormal liver readings (whatever that means). Please pray as I go back two weeks from now that the next test will be normal. My mom's dad passed away from serosis of the liver, and my mom now has to be pretty careful with her liver. I'm not too worried, I think that all will be well. Continued prayers for my health are appreciated!
