...given the nearly impermeable facelessness that the internet makes possible, then aren't we all masked in a fashion?...I am The Masked Blogger, anonymous and solitary on the virtual plane......today, after a multi-month interruption in regular doctor visits, i broke my "medical fast" and went to see a new physician....though, not really new; i've seen this particular m.d. before, many years ago.....my beloved health insurance company took upon themselves over time the goal of nothing less than becoming the biggest horse's asses in history...the end result of this being that doctors quit participating in droves, and i, a lowly speck in the scheme of things had to change doctors frequently...but things are much improved now, because i have a new+better job, and new+better health coverage....so, since i have some chronic health junk happening, i took myself to the doc.....and, i got not so hot news....it seems that i gained more weight than i thought i had over the last months...we don't have a scale, so i haven't been keeping track.....i maxed out the doctor's office scale....they go to 350, and i was too much for them.....cripes!....i mean, i've always been on the big side, but my God!.....i am so instantly going to try the Adkins, or Atkins, or whatever it is diet; i consider it a fad, but desperate times, and so on....i at least have to lose enough to where i can actually get half-way active again....i'm not a kid anymore, but i'm not that old either, and i'm not interested in checking out just yet....beside the weight, i have blood pressure issues, and gerd, and arthritis, and i guess i'm just falling apart, so.....the weight is gonna come off, and i am going to get off my butt and start moving around, and maybe live long enough to see my grandkids, or at least the fall of Earth to the Borg.....
Live long, and prosper, you losers.......
The Masked Blogger: tipping the scale this day at 350+ lbs, and not very thrilled about it
