Everything for a Reason

I know a lot of people don’t like to talk about personal/ medical issues on their blogs… I do because I always forget to tell someone something and then I mention it later and they have no idea what I am talking about… so here is my personal/ medical blog entry…

I have noticed that most of the things in my life happen for a pretty obvious reason once I take a step back and really think about it. I have been having pretty bad back problems recently, so bad that I had to go to a new doctor. She is great with a background in sports medicine. She is also very thorough. She tested for everything when I had my first appointment, it was an extreme physical with blood tests etc. (my regular doctor hadn’t done this in a long time even though I had gone in a few times). Apparently I have a thyroid issue which explains a lot of things I’ve had that I just couldn’t explain or get answers about. She has put me on medication and will keep an eye on me to make sure I am on the right dosage etc. So the good news is that she caught it early before it caused any major problems. I hope I can get back to the gym soon (I am only allowed to walk right now until my back is better), but I hope that this is the last step that will lead me back down the path of feeling healthy again. It’s funny how something like a back problem can lead to a completely different diagnosis, who would have thought it?
