Who me worry?

September 1, 2010

I am writing this while I am still waiting for the doctor to finish whatever hole he is on and then call me.  I will schedule it to post on Wednesday, but something I found funny just happened and I will never remember it a whole day from now. 

Beth came home for lunch and left her phone here.  It just rang (buzzed) and I got excited.  It must be the doctor calling her phone since he did not get my message this morning to call our home number instead of Beth's cell.  I answered to hear the dude on the other end ask, "Mike?"  I hesitated.  As if there were any other explanation than that this was a wrong number.  Sure, I had answered Beth's phone, but she does not go by or look like a "Mike".  I am not "Mike".  I am not like Mike.  I am not currently miked.  He did not mean to say Steve but pronounced it "Mike". 

I have a brother Mike, so perhaps dude was calling Beth in a city 100 miles away to find my brother? 

Okay, you're with stupid.  Dude on the phone figured out he had the wrong number before I could say anything.  I guess "Mike's" normal response when he answers the phone is not dead silence.

I have heard from the doctor and he has said that there is nothing to worry about so far.  I do not have any brain lesions, nor does he think I have Multiple Sclerosis.  My blood work is normal, and there are a couple of white spots on my MRI that he will have a neurologist look at.  The radiologist thinks there are nothing, so we are just going for a second opinion.  Sure, there has been no explanation for what my ears feel like, but I am going to try a couple things.  One is less salt.  Okay, I can do that.  Another is less caffeine.  Not really looking forward to that, nor are my employees.  Finally, less stress.  I am going to have to find a good stress release, but the search starts tomorrow. 

What are some good stress relievers that you know of?  Can you think of any for me?   Let's see what happens.
