HELL NO! But that’s where I’ll be one week from today, climbing back into the world after having been peacefully sleeping through an Upper GI. I hate being put under…but then who doesn’t? I’m actually hoping they find something…like the hiatal hernia is HUGE…or something that can be remedied because I’ve had one helluva run with digestive tract problems for a long time. Yes…all kinds of tests, my main menu is nexium, and a few other things going on, but please find a solution to the problem/pain. I want to be well.

I have been a spoiled child most of my life, very fortunate to be healthy, have healthy children, and healthy grandchildren. It makes life so much better. If I had one wish, it would be that everyone in the world (unborn included) be physically and mentally healthy. That could open a whole new can of worms in world stress and wars but that aside, being healthy really is the key to life (include healthy thoughts in that). Working at being healthy is one of our shortcomings. Most of us sit on our ass, day in and day out, and expect a Dr. to give us something to make it better. Honest, Mrs. Wizard, that’s not what I’m looking for. I’m looking for a way to make myself better but I may need a Dr. to help me get started.

Right now I feel like the Prescription Queen…take this one on an empty stomach, take this one with food, don’t take this with tylenol or drink or you CAN DIE, and a few million other things that just add to something I don’t want in my life. Hence, I’m on my 4th day of excellent eating and exercise behavior. Yes…I’m keeping track. I have a goal. Me! I’m the goal.

I expect to be writing about poker, playing it, dealing it, thinking it, being it, and stay in touch with all the finer things in life I enjoy so much for a long, healthy time to come. The finer things? The list is way too long and if you aren’t aware of what they are, perhaps you should make YOU the goal. See you there!
