Prognosis

So as you are well aware Twin 2 went to the doctor back in March.  Here is here story.

The first doctor appointment was just a meet the doctor type of meeting and some blood tests were ordered as I had gained some weight and was hoping it wasn’t just my doing but maybe I had a ‘condition’ and I would get pills and it would be all better.  Now, I don’t mean to make light of people with a thyroid (or any other) condition but I just don’t know how I let myself get to the poundage of where I am today so there had to be a good reason other than myself.

Step one was blood work and a urine test.  I had to fast for 8 hours before the blood work/urine test.  Not a problem.  I went around 8:30 on a Saturday morning and was done giving blood by 9:00 a.m.  After the vials were taken I was then given a Styrofoam cup and two vials for me to go pee. 

One is my pee cup and the other was my drinking cup.

I asked if I had to fill the two vials and the answer was no I only had to make sure I had some pee in both.  Into the bathroom I went.  I sat there for 10 minutes and guess what.  I. COULD. NOT. PEE!!!!  This NEVER happens.  I was in there for 10 minutes and thought I better get out so the rest of the people who needed to give a urine test could do so and I wouldn’t be holding them up.  When I came out of the bathroom with my cup and empty vials in hand the nurse asked me if a glass of water would help.  Sure.  So I drank that quickly then got another one.  And I wondered the halls as I was not leaving until I gave my sample.  I started stressing as to why I couldn’t pee as I usually can at the drop of a hat.  1.5 HOURS later I was able to get enough out of me to do the trick.  I have NEVER had this problem before.  I’m not sure if it was the stress knowing that I had to.  Maybe I had some sort of performance anxiety? I think so. 

So after the whole fiasco of the blood work/urine test I had a follow up appointment last Thursday for the results.  What was the prognosis?  Drum roll please….I got fat on my own.  The doctor told me to exercise at least 5 times a week for at least 30 minutes.  She even wrote me a prescription.  She said to treat it like medication which I will do.  So far so good.
