Well today has ended up being a pretty good day, all in all.  Went to therapy from the car accident and the messed up cartilage on the rib at the left clavicle is doing much better.  Then went to my gastgroenterologist. There I got the best news of all.  Most of the medical issues, which became life threatening resulting in my not blogging for 2 years, seem to finally be getting back in line.  The insides are starting to work as they are supposed to and without constant pain.  The liver issue is basically minor as is the cholesterol.  In other words, for the first time in close to 5 years I am finally starting to get my health back.  The reason behind this blog is not to carry on about my problems, but to ask you all to PLEASE get regular check ups, whether you feel you need them or not.  So many life threatening issues are hidden until they become so very serious.  I would not wish what I have gone through in the last 2 years on my worst enemy.  I did not get my check-ups, I did not eat properly, I did not get the needed rest and probably the worse thing was I did not get rid of the stress.  Stress alone can cause your body to break down so badly, that when you've finally gotten rid of it, your body just lets go and everything hits you at once and can actually make it almost impossible to lose weight you may gain.  What seems to be a fairly small thing while you are young, and doesn't get fixed, can become a nightmare when you are older.

So please, make at least one of your New Year's resolution to get at least one annual check up a year.  You owe it to yourself first and foremost, to your children, the rest of your family, your job and your friends.
