Quick Update
Although I’m tired and really shouldn’t be writing anything in this condition, I will anyway. Just a quick update to let you know that I’m still alive.
So, what’s been going on lately? Well, I have an appointment with my gastroenterologist tomorrow afternoon. This is my first appointment in 7 (correction) 5 years. I’ve been wondering whether my previously believed bout with the stomach flu might have been something else entirely. I suppose it’s time to find out instead of just waiting for my symptoms to get worse. I am guessing that it’s just the gastritis acting up again, but I don’t want to assume and regret it later.
I also have my annual HealthPass appointment on Friday. I’m somewhat apprehensive about going since I’m sure I was in much better health last year. I was exercising regularly and was about 5 pounds lighter. I am hoping that my then-borderline cholesterol levels did not inch up into dangerous territory. Well, we’ll see. If nothing else, it serves as a reminder to me that I must be more conscious of my eating and exercise choices in order to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Yadda-yadda.
Speaking of a healthy lifestyle, I’m going to get some sleep now. Sleep is pretty important too, you know. 
A 30-something Christian girl, blissfully wedded to her perfect match (the yang to her yin) of 14 years. Living life in Hawaii, less than 5 miles from her hometown, a slave to her mortgage payment, but seeking balance in her pursuit of family, faith, recreation, and rest.
Donna, I’m glad you are going to get check. You are most wise to do so. I’ll have you in my prayers. Exercise, eat healthy, and listen to your doctors. How I wish I did the same 20+ years ago. Please take care of yourself.
In Christ,
Lynn
As a fellow Virgo, I too suffer from stomach problems - which have plagued me since high school. I’ve been to the gastro as well, and have been diagnosed with IBS. I hope that all goes well with your visit. Treat yourself to something comforting when it’s over. ;o)
Here’s some food for thought…
Virgo Rules : the nervous system and the intestines. The intestines assimilate food into the body.
Health habits : Natives of this sign can literally worry themselves sick. When things go wrong they have a tendency to turn the trouble into themselves and the problem is instantly reflected in a physical ailment, usually intestinal. Virgoans possess a fussy digestive system, and suffer from indigestion, gas pains, ulcers, liver upsets, colitis, and bowel problems. Virgoans tend to worry about their health & sometimes tend to be hypochondriacs.
