Valium Oh Valium I love Valium

A second engagement.  I’ll be speaking for a second time at Ambiance - -t he first date Feb. 7th has apparently sold out.  If you are around come on March 25th Tuesday night for a talk about EDGE TM.   Call 586-5820 to reserve your spot. 

Speaking of edge - - I had none today.  Today I had to have a little procedure - -nothing serious but it came with the most delicious drip - valium.  They said I might have amnesia of the procedure, and I did, but mostly I’ve been really pleasant all day.  My kids couldn’t believe it.  Wow.  This is wonderful stuff. Especially for someone who hasn’t been drinking.  I just hope it’s not fattening.  I finally caved and ate some bread by the way.    Diet successful.  30 days 13 lbs. ( And definitely some fun in there for those of you who read the blog - - Las Vegas, need I say more.).   

But back to the Dr.:   I realize that I’m becoming my mother because my dr’s appointment ruled my day.  At 77 she see’s so many dr’s it’s her full time job - - which she already has - - being someone’s dr. (therapist to be exact).  Nothing she sees them for is serious.  Lots of follow-up tests and visits resulting from the tests.  My test today was to see if I had reflux which almost everyone I know has or is being treated for - -even I’m being treated for it and he doesn’t know if I have it!  But this test apparently really didn’t tell the dr. if I had it - it was to see if I had damaged my esophogus which is a clue that I have it.  But since there was no damage now I have to go have another test (no valium on that one what’s the point) to see if I really have it.  Well, why didn’t we do that test first???  For three months I’ve been walking around like Woody Allen in Hannah and Her Sisters thinking I had a terrible disease because that’s what you have when they do tests where they have to give you valium!!!!  But no, I’m actually fine (as was Woody as I recall). 

 But the best part was I got to try the valium.  When I left i was told not to operate heavy machinery (darn I was going to use the forklift today) or make any big decisions.  Isn’t that incredible? On Dr’s orders I cannot make any big decisions today.  I cannot decide to run away to Texas or to buy a car.  Really what big decisions do people really make on a regular basis? Usually none.  Coffee or tea? Work out or not? I need to make more important decisions don’t I? In order to be told I can’t make them I have to have some to make.  But actually the dr’s order should have said, do not operate heavy machinary or blog today.  Tee hee.
