My ears are ringing. I feel like a dog being called home by one of those dog whistles. I find myself randomly bounding down the road with a look of curiosity and absolutely no direction.
So, I went to my doctor to see if there?s a pill for that. He told me that I probably have had some slight hearing loss. I said, ?What?? He didn?t find that amusing.
Apparently I attended one Prince concert too many in my youth. Still worth it, though.
The good news is that my?weight was down and I graduated to another category on that insurance chart. Many thanks to hot yoga for that change. Woohoo!
Next, my height. I usually look like Snooki at my physicals because I create a hair-poof to get that extra 1/2 inch, but I forgot to do that yesterday. Nurse Ratchet measured my height, poof-less, and took me down an inch, which threw me back into the original weight category.
I went home and remeasured, and got back to my original height of 5?3?. Now I have to call the doctor?s office and petition to get them to officially change the chart.
If they refuse, I might pull an ?Occupy My Doctor?s Office? and pitch a tent until they do. I will sing bad songs from the sixties and cook my dinner on their sidewalk with my tiny Coleman stove.
Because when you?re dealing with weight charts, one-inch is golden.
As far as my hearing goes, I?m growing fond of the slight whistle in my ears. I pretend it?s a seashell pressed to my head, whispering secrets of the sea.
Plus, I can act like I don?t hear people when they raise a topic I want to avoid. I used this particular skill at the end of the doctor?s visit.
?Have you ever had a colonoscopy??
?What??
?A colonoscopy.?
?Hmmm??
?A colonoscopy. Have you scheduled one??
?A copy of what? Just write it down and I?ll review it later.?
See. You gain a little something with every loss. You just have to be creative.
