My friend Melissa and her man Max were T-boned on US 19 coming home from a gig (she's in a band) on Saturday night. Max has a broken ankle and neck injuries. Melissa is in intensive care with several broken bones, both lungs punctured, a bruised spleen, and a tear in her liver. She is improving and should be released from the hospital before the end of the week, but she is on a long road to recovery. Please keep her and Max in your thoughts and prayers. Thanks.

Back from the doctor...

Great! You ready for this...I suffer from anxiety and panic disorder. I'm freaking out basically. BLAH! You all know that my Dad passed away two years ago from congestive heart failure. He was only 72. He had bypass surgery when he was 54. So, now I worry about my lungs and my heart and all the health problems I could have (diabetes runs in my family too)...Everytime I don't feel good or I feel "off" that's all I can think about...I think that I'm sick and dying. I know, I know...but with the loss of my Dad and Eric's Mom and friends at MY age...I think about those things often. When I wake up in the middle of the night and feel like I can't breathe, all the possibilities run through my head.

So, today the doc did some tests to ease my mind. Mainly an EKG which was normal. I'm pretty damn healthy for a 40 year old, overweight, light smoker (mostly just when I have a beer in one hand). So, yeah, the smoking is ending...gonna be tough when I'm drinking. That's going to be the toughest. He also didn't want to prescribe anything for anxiety because most of them put on weight and since I have been working so hard at losing, he feels that putting weight on would only add to my anxiety...and he's right. So, I am prescribed...no cigs (which means I will have to stop drinking for a while to break the habit), 30 min. of exercise a day, and learn how to meditate or talk myself down when I have the anxiety attacks.


Now, I'm off to bed. I have been awake since 3:30 am...I'm beat.

I could see this...well, except maybe for the 99 people getting laid thing LOL
