Health: From Puberty to Old Age
4/18/2013
When I think about the status of my health,
a quote from George Costanza comes to mind, “I haven’t outgrown the problems of
puberty; I’m already facing the problems of old age. I completely skipped
healthy adulthood.”
Yes, Seinfeld is one of my favourite shows
and always will be. That is not the purpose of this blog entry. Without any
further ado, a
list of my health issues is detailed below.
2 years ago I woke with a jarring pain my
lower back. At first I dismissed it as a recurring injury from my old days of
full time ballet. As the pain spread towards my thigh I realised there was more
to it than I initially thought. A year of blood thinners and weekly blood tests
later, finally the blood clot disappeared. It was a great year.
While the blood clot may have dissolved, a
clean bill of health I still do not have. In the past 6 months alone I’ve had;
skin samples taken, colonoscopies galore, and inconclusive blood
investigations. Health issues are the never-ending bane of my life.
Logic (and my Doctor) says that as I continue
along the road of adulthood my health will not get any better, which brings me
back to George Costanza, barely out of puberty problems and straight into
problems of old age.
I can only hope that my new regime of
livertone plus and over dosing on multi vitamins is enough to fight off any
more premature health issues.
