Floating Leaf

So I called the doctor's office yesterday to ask about my test results. And guess what? A cheerful receptionist told me that everything came out nicely and that I am, in fact, perfectly healthy. Well, my cholesterol is slightly raised, but it's not dangerous or anything. I just need to consume more fiber.

Um... okaaay. I guess I should be relieved and happy, shouldn't I?... But somehow I'm not. Because, last time I checked, perfectly healthy people did not run to the loo 15 times a day. And I was sort of hoping I might get some help with that. But now, since I am supposedly healthy and apparently don't need any medication, I will just have to put up with it - no explanation and no relief in sight. I guess I was also hoping to obtain some justification to offer to anyone who might give me strange looks because of having to excuse myself to the bathroom three times more often than other people. I hoped I would be able to say: you know, I have such&such medical condition - and then everyone would be understanding and sympathetic, instead of vaguely suspicious (like my ex-boss at that awful job I had to quit last summer). Well... no such luck, it seems.:|
