Look at that person.she got all those fruits and shit on the table to suggest that's the kind of life you should live in order to be healthy and happy..I mean, even the green shirt she's wearing suggest some kind of order to her health...Well, I'm here to say you ain't even gotta mess with all that shit..I mean..I just had what I like to call "Gotta Stay Healthy Week" for a week and some change and I want to share it with yall because I feel now my blogs have to reflect some personal shit in order for them to be good
(And to get my writing mojo back because I don't know who stole it or held it hostage)So before these past two weeks a dude like me has been living with no "real" doctor, not many trips to the dentist
(only 1 for a cleaning and filling) and no other shit...I mean, after high school in which I graduated in 2005, there was no need for a physical check up because I wasn't playing school sports
(Although they said go to the doctor once a year) Let's face it, last couple of times I went to the doctor, one told me to look to the right as she fondled my balls..the other time I was told my MCL tear would heal on it's on..Okay...
I went to college, eating habits changed but didn't really make a difference..I had soda left and right..I drank like a college person was inclined to..I didn't have an apple a day to keep the doctor away, I just didn't go..And that's because I always thought I was healthy anyways..I was too confident, and if you know me, that's how I roll about most things..I'm a very confident person and I like to let things flow...So no doctors...I went to a dentist because my sister practically made me go and I had some cavities but not crazy joints like one would expect to have on his first trip to the dentist at the age of 19-20...
In terms of my eyes, that's the only thing that rocked me..I noticed that whenever I was in class, I couldn't see the powerpoints from the back of the class
(That's where I liked to stay, didn't mean I wasn't getting my education on) and had to sit in the front or at a reasonable seat...I was always that person trying to unscramble what was on the screen and I would squint here and there...Shit...If you were in a car with me for the past whatever years then you always heard me say
"Hey my eyes aren't so good, so help me out with the signs and shit." I mean, can you picture driving with someone who said that?!! I'm surprised all those people got into cars with me.yall crazy..
So since I have a job and I get benefits, I knew the first things I had to take care of was my health..Not to say that I felt bad, it's just sometimes you gotta take care of it when you have the chance...First trip was to the dentist for a cleaning..they checked for some cavities and other shit, gave me my cleaning and told me to floss more often because I was bleeding left and right...Flossing makes your gums stronger..that's what they say..Does anyone know the correct way to floss?!! I mean I get in there but goodness..I have no idea what the fuck I'm doing to be honest..I just feel good cause I'm doing something new at night..haha..
(My girl has to floss too but she got some high tech floss joints I see her put in and I don't even ask about it because that's futuristic to me)So, the trip to the dentist was straight...two days later I tackled the doctor..Now I don't know if this is racist or not but I wanted an Indian female doctor..it was just my preference..But I only looked at the name..and so by looking at the name you already know that I didn't get a Indian female doctor..haha..Still straight though..She checked me out..made sure I was moving..made sure the bones were popping off..Blood pressure was straight..And then I got sent to the lab so they could take my blood..Now since I haven't done one of these in a while I know that they prick me, fill the tube up, take blood and boom..But I was having multiple tests...5 to be exact...And they just kept filling them joints up right after the other...I was scared after the 3rd one but the nurse was like "You good, don't worry." I was worried..That's not the worst part..Clearly some of these tests took 2-3 days to get results..But YOU know and I know, that this waiting time can be scary...I left the doctor feeling good but a day after I was nervous as hell..Not that I didn't know my own self, it's just that the 'What if's' starting popping in my head..I had like an hour of those and I let it rock..But yeah..No worries clearly..haha..
So at the doctor, since I knew my eyes were fucked, I told shorty rock that I needed to see an eye doctor asap..I wasn't even trying to fuck with the eye chart thingy they have because I was cheating and then I said "Nah Ricky, you gotta get your eyes taken care of." I listened to my insides and told her..she referred me to another shorty rock who took care of me..To be honest, my eyes are not bad and I was real with her...when I couldn't read a line I told her
"I'm not gonna lie, I can't read it so I'm guessing from here on.." She didn't laugh...I thought it was funny..In her head I'm sure she said
"Oh shit" because she asked me if I drove and I said yes and she gave me this look----->
-__- HAHAHA...I mean, she wasn't having me leave that office without a prescription...She took care of me though...They tested for glaucoma
(Which always makes me think of my chips and guacamole that I had) and that test sucks..It's all eye drops but I'm sensitive with my eyes..It burned but I was good..Until I stepped outside and couldn't see shit!!! I waited like I was supposed to but my goodness...I thought my vision got worse...I purchased some glasses near the crib and dude took care of me..I was trying glasses and basically asking myself
"Do I look nearly as handsome without them?" I did and now Ricky wears glasses...Ummm...I'm supposed to wear them all the time but we'll see...I'm not wearing them now cause I'm nearsighted, which means I can see things near...duh...
(I've always been confused about that shit)Well since I've been on my healthy shit I know that I have to floss, I got my eyes taken care of, I had some dry feet shit that yall don't need to know all about just know that I'm taking care of it
(HAHAHAHA) But that's all I got for yall...Let me know about your experiences with the doctors and if you're on your healthy shit like me!!!
