Stressed!

I went to the doctors yesterday regarding my memeory. It has always been rather poor but recently it has become terrible. I have even been making mistakes at work through not remembering things.

Anyway, I eventually got seen by my favorite doctor. I asked her if I could have a test for Alchimers (no idea how to spell it) or something like that. She asked me about my circumstances at home and at work and said that she thought it was most unlikely to be anything serious.

Apparently I am stressed. It doesn't really surprise me at all, as I have been thinking that myself at times. She gave me some tablets, which I haven't even looked at yet, and told me to stay off work for a couple of weeks.

Since I also happened to have an old problem with my wrist as well, she put that on the sick note. She thought it was better than admitting stress. I really don't think my boss would have minded as she already knows about the situation at home.

The rest of yesterday, I stayed in bed all day even though I didn't get much sleep. At least I was keeping my wrist warm and relaxed. Maybe it will get better soon.

Today I will put another heat wrap on my wrist and walk in to Longton. I'm sure the exercise and fresh air won't do me any harm and I have been meaning to make an appointment with optician for a while. This is a perfect opportunity to do it.
