Me in a nutshell..Literally!

So, Lots of changes going on in my world right now. There were a lot of things medically I had been putting off and I suddenly decided to get them taken care of. Task one was finding a family doctor, my kids have a pediatrician but I can't tell you the last time I had a doctor to call my own. I am the type of person that if I am sick I just go to urgent care and get it taken care of. Unfortunately the time had come to find someone to call my own. I literally plopped the phone book open and started calling around, the first five offices I called I got answering machines. Since I don't like to communicate with automated voices I kept calling around until I reached actual human intelligence. Boy did I really hit the jackpot. The doctor I got in to see is really amazing. Not only did they have a kid friendly office(complete with a great playroom with walls painted with chalkboard paint.Those of you with kids know how important this is!) But the nursing staff even watched my crazy children for an hour while I gave the doc my life's story. How many doctors do you know who would just spend and hour with you. I have to say this was my first.

Well, the blood work they did and physical all came back perfect. Unfortunately the problems I have been suffering were diagnosed as depression and adult ADD. So, basically I am freaking nuts! Lol. Anyway, I am now taking two medications a day. I feel so old. On a positive note I can tell I am starting to feel like the old Amber again. Hurray for drugs!!
