An Update on Me and Why I’ll Listen to the Doctor

By on June 25, 2007 in Brain Stew with 21 Comments

Thank you much for your thoughts and prayers.  Not quite off the PUP list, but hey – I work sitting down, right?

Thought I was out of the worst part – until last night.  I skipped a pain pill (testing myself? being a "man"?)…and I paid for it.  We’ll see what my doctor says today.

Two reasons I’m focused on listening to the medical pros:

  1. I have no experience with this stuff (except for watching others go through it)
  2. They’ve spent their adult life studying this stuff

I’m relying on the doctors to fix — or tell me how to fix — what’s going on. I’m sure if I stop listening, they’ll stop advising.

So for now, while work needs to get done, this blog doctor is going slow.

Thanks again for good thoughts and greater patience:-)

Reminded: My wife reminds me of the thyroid challenge I had in ’93 (hyper). While somewhat serious, there was no physical pain and everything was outpatient. Still, I guess the current situation isn’t my first health-related battle.

I hear it from a lot of business owners: “Where is the ROI with all this Social Media?“ If this is a question you ask yourself, maybe we should work together a bit more. We can work together solo, or via a professional learning community. Find and increase your ROI. There is a “there” there.

    So sorry to hear you’ve been laid up. And I thought you were too busy (actually you probably are, but in a good way). Do listen to your doctors and your wife. We, your many friends, will be here and want you healthy.

    Sorry to hear you’re still struggling. Take care! And do take those pain pills on a regular schedule. Medical studies show that you heal faster if you manage the pain and don’t let it escalate.

    Hang in there Mike and remember the motto I learned in the late 60s – “better living through chemistry”. Grin.
    Take your meds.
    Keep creating,
