Hypochondria
I have had it since I was little. I remember lying in bed when I was about six years old, terrified that I had breast cancer. I had heard about it on T.V. or something and I was too embarrassed to ask my mom about it. I just layed in bed night after night crying myself to sleep because I was sure that I had a lump and that I was going to die shortly. This went on for months until I finally got up the guts to tell my mom I wanted to go to the Dr. about it. Of course, she assured me that I was six, and didn't even have breasts, let alone cancer.
My Paw-Paw had hypochondria too. Maybe it's hereditary.
Anyway, I've been having strange headaches and dizziness for a while now and I went to the Dr. so he could give me something to take for it. He wanted to send me to a neurologist. Of course that scared me! So I went to the neurologist last week and he wanted me to have an MRI, "just to make sure". So apparently this is pretty routine, but I have an appointment today at 5:00 to get it done that I'm pretty nervous about! My stomach has butterflies and I'm all shakey and stuff. Ugh.
Happier note: I took Lexi yesterday to pet the bunnies at the pet store to go along with The Little Rabbit. She wanted to take one home with her of course! She's really upset though about how in the book, the little baby bunnies have to be given away. She wants them to stay with their Mommy. It's sweet. She stayed the night with my mom last night. She told her she wanted to have a "slumber party". Who can resist that?
