The Warning...

I just had the greatest weekend. Spent most of the weekend vomiting with body aches. Yesterday, I went to the doctor (gotta love medical insurance) and got myself checked out. After being poked, pinched, having blood taken out of me, and going in a cup, it was determined that I have gastritis. There are a few causes, but mine, most likely, is due to my poor eating habits. After thinking about it, I have had shooting pains in my stomach that went ignored for the past couple of weeks. I tend to believe that Allah (swt) gives us small warnings and if you don't take heed to them, the ones that follow are a bit harsher. And, thus begins the change in my diet. I have to bid a fond farewell to Wendy's and an Adios to Taco Bell(sniff). Hmmm...what is there to eat? LOL...just kidding. I really have to start taking better care of myself. I'm not getting any younger.

Funny doctor story:

My doctor was an older Muslim man, go figure. As he asks me about my health, he asked me if I was married, and I told him no. Then he takes a breath, waits a few seconds, and asks me, "Is there any possibility that you are pregnant?" while lifting one eyebrow. I responded, "ummm...no". He smiled and took a breath of relief...LOL. He was even a bit happier when my test results showed I wasn't lying. I was cracking up on the inside.

Gald to hear your condition was not-so-serious, although it's ALWAYS serious when it's about you (as in self)! Inshaallah you will be strong in making healthier eating decisions:)

Um please left the fast food alone! As a good doctor, he had to ask, but thinking that you might be offended he asked if you were married first. Funny!
