Woke up this morning with a new attitude......(funky music starts to play) no not again....not Patti LaBelle
I'm feelin' good from my head to my shoes
Know where I'm goin' and I know what to do
I tidied up my point of view
I got a new attitude
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I got a new attitude
Stop! Stop! No more singing! ....I have got to stop watching Project Runway before I go to bed.
Today was my opportunity to take 2 classes at the Y with my favorite super trainer Sheryl, unfortunately I had a doctors appointment and could not change it (I tried). On the good side I had a doctors appointment with my super doctor Rebecca - I love my doctors office. Rebecca is probably 30 or so and quite good looking - her nurse is named Cheryl (I know) and she is awesome, quite funny and cute. They do a great job and really take good care of me.
Isn't it funny how everybody loves their doctor - you mention you went to the doctor and out of nowhere "you need a doctor, I got a great doctor" " they always get me in" "top of the line" - meanwhile they are 100lbs overweight, diabetic, high blood pressure ........ ummmm......never mind.
As I waited for Rebecca (I hardly ever have to wait, their the best) I noticed this whole rack of
brochures:
I couldn't help but notice how happy everyone was - heart attack YEA! - Acid Reflux OH BOY! and the best of all Irritable Bowel - LUCKY DUCK! This should be the first item on the agenda for health care reform. I am slightly intrigued by bladder urges though - she looks so happy.
After I told I mentioned to super nurse Cheryl about the going Gandhi thingy she couldn't believe it and left saying "I am telling Rebecca, your in trouble". Rebecca was fairly cool about it she didn't exactly endorse it and warned me to be careful, she didn't throw me out either. She said the bottom line is do you feel good and are you staying in tune with your body - I feel good doc. As an update I have stopped taking all my diabetes medicine (numbers are great) and my high blood pressure medicine (122 over 72 looking good) it has been a long time I haven't taken - never want to go back.
As I put my clothes back on (oh. did I forget to mention that all visits are completely naked not just the patience Doctors, nurses, receptionist, told you I have a great doctor) I saw the most bizarre and disturbing marketing item ever. I assume you are familiar with the majestic and revered Native American symbol the flute playing Kokopelli. The Kokopelli has been worshipped since at least the time of the ancient Pueblo People and showed up on Hopi pottery in 750AD.
Example:
This is what the noble Kokopelli has been reduced to:
That's right it's a Kokopelli playing a colon...............I have no response to that.
Talk to you soon,
Joe
Peace!
Joe,
