Its not often that I go to the Dr. Other than being pregnant and having those OB appointments I don't go to the Dr. Thankfully, my whole life I have been blessed by being very healthy. I do not take this for granted whatsoever and actually as I welcomed all my 2010 new resolutions one was to get myself fit and healthier. Since I was in highschool I have been struggling with lower back problems. Even yet today I still struggle with the aches and pains caused by having chronic back spasms and stiffness. So, as of yesterday I finally visited a Dr here in Las Vegas. I was referred to him by my massage therapist so I felt somewhat confident in going there knowing he had helped someone else who deals with stiff and sore muscles all day long.
It was a great appointment and tomorrow I go in the morning to get my official adjustment and full consult after he ran some tests and took some x-rays yesterday.
It was just a few weeks ago also that I went to the dentist for a check up. I still need to go and have a little work done but couldn't be more thankful to know that after that my teeth are in good condition.
I'm not sure how many of you Mom's feel about taking care of yourself versus focusing only on taking care of your family but I know I was guilty of this. I don't feel "selfish" for pursuing better overall health for myself, I actually feel "responsible". I lost my Mother at the age of 18. There isn't one day since the day she passed away that I don't miss her or wish she was here. I can't control the future but I can control how well I take care of myself. There isn't a greater desire in my heart than to be here as long as I can for my children. I would never want my boys to experience the heart break and pain caused by the loss of a parent. I'm not sure if this is going to be a reality of preventing but rather I'm trying to do what I can to make sure while I'm here at I'm at my very best.
I hope that in taking better care of myself that I can in turn take better care of my family. For there is no greater calling on my life than that.
Hope you guys have had a great Wednesday!
