And then there were nine...

So this year alone I have been to see 11 doctors (ELEVEN!):

Primary Care Physician
Rheumatlogist
Pulmonologist
Gastrointerologist
Optometrist
Dentist
Podiatrist
Psychiatrist
Therapist
Dermatologist
Gynecologist

Now, I know I'm not the healthiest of people, but that is just ridiculous. And, it's not like I went for just one visit each. Nope, I have see these doctors for a total of 38 office visits this year. WHOA!

Well, I'm happy to say that with my recent "graduation" from therapy and now a good report from the pulmonologist today I can reduce my number of doctors to nine. Whoo Hooo!!

I'm fairly certain I'll be adding some more doctors soon (more on that later), but if you don't mind, I'll just relish in the reduced numbers for right now.

Happy Weekend ya'll!

Graduation Day!

I may be done with official diplomas, but today I was able to add a new milestone to my personal education. I've officially graduated from therapy. I've been minimizing my sessions over the past sixth months and today was the first session since September. Both me and my therapist agree that I'm in a pretty good place right now. So I'm discontinuing therapy for the time being. I, of course, reserve the right to check in every now and then or go back fully if things get tough. But just last night, hubz and I were commenting on how improved things have been. So yay for me on growing up, and making progress in my life. I'll take that over a walk across a stage and a piece of paper any day.
