Gyn appointment and my goals

I had my gynecology appointment today. It has been 2 years since I have been there. It's also been 2 years since my last pap smear. It all went well. I told the doctor about the shooting pains I had yesterday in my breast. I had my last lab work from the rheumatologist sent to the gynecologist. He said my bloodwork looked really good, that he'd be lucky if he had anyone else come in the office today with good looking numbers like mine.

I don't know what it was about this visit, but I left empowered that I am going to fight my procrastination. I needed to have this gyn visit, I did that -- I also needed to call the insurance company as well -- so I did that, and the Big One...the credit card company. My account is overdue. I was so afraid to call them, but the lady I spoke to was so nice and she recommended a good credit counseling service that will help work with creditors so I can have one monthly payment. The counseling service is associated with the Lutheran church, which was kind of neat to me, since I grew up Lutheran. I have filled out the online application and now I can relax a bit. A lot of pressure is already lifted off of me. I am about in tears as I write this, because I really think everything is going to work out okay. This can only help my stress level, and if I help my stress level, that should help my medical condition. So I feel pretty good about these positive changes.

I had to struggle to get information I needed to do this from the man-child I am married to, but I did it. He is so very frustrating. You know, I read a medical study that found that men with Fibromyalgia (and all men in general) do better health-wise if they are married -- BUT -- women with Fibromyalgia do WORSE medically when they are married. (Stress and man-children, anyone?) lol...I am laughing now but this is true. He is a big stressor in my life.
