"If you're trying to achieve, there will be roadblocks. I've had them; everybody has had them. But obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it." Michael Jordan. Over the past three days I have been to the hospital two times for testings with my legs and blood work. From what came about I have a situation that my left knee has had a fracture along with both requiring an injection of the substance which I forget the name of, however it's getting there and in the last three days I have no idea how or when these things took place, but that is not the point - what is purposeful is in the fact that things have moved much faster than what I imagined. I am not too sure when this took place.
I met with my doctor today’s date and after the last two days going about getting things done he didn’t focus on that but he did say that I have a disposition of anxiety. Not meaning that I am worried and phobic to everything but due to what ever reason it’s something that I will move out of with time. I know that anxiety and depression are very inter related. According to him, I am anything but depressed and then he went on to explain the difference of being placed on a medication for quality of life. So I am on a medication that does not make me tired – it’s a validation of a medication that is necessary. In meeting him, he mentioned all the medications that I could be placed on but he indicated that with the transition of life that I have made. It’s one that will be necessary. As for the legs he didn’t have enough time on all that but he indicated that I am well. And that he was in contact with my other doctor from before and he said that here in this province there can be much more done in a quicker manner with regards to my legs. For myself that was wonderful to hear.
Thereafter I went to get some belongings that were in my other vehicle that I am going to donate to some foundation they have here. And then as well I was able to get everything back to being assembled so that I can go about doing what I love to do within this blog. Picture, I love it, but it’s hard to get about, as it’s a huge city. I know of one particular picture that I wished to get on my way home as now I can do that.
So that all being said I hope to get some pictures this week. As I love taking them. But as of yesterday here we were hit with snow and that coupled with how busy it gets I may or I may not try to get a vantage of a picture. We shall see.
I thought I would mention this as I have a few things in which I do wish to write upon. And we will see where it goes. As for right now, I have a few things I have to do. And it’s going to be an enjoyable evening. As for last night at 4am in the morning for some reason the building I live in and share with a very good friend – we and all the people that reside in here were hearing fire alarms go off – and it took two hours before the fire department understood how to take turn off the alarm system. Ironically, it was a malfunction of a very good system. But the management of the place obviously didn’t know how to deal with it – which leads me to believe that these condos are tremendous and new – but the management has just changed. So rather than having a plan in place before tendering and obtaining the management contract – they are managing a very good complex without the infrastructure of a building management plan. So I think as of today they have learned it – meanwhile I am sure everyone would have liked to have the alarms silenced – but now at least they know they know how to handle it.
I can certainly understand the meaning of resolve. Regardless of what takes place in your life, there is always a resolve – I never believed nor do now in a manner of what is called "victim mentality". As adults we take in what we have, and we deal with it. It's in how we look at things and have the manner of going about living our daily lives. For each and everyone that is different for each. And yet it's something we all can relate to and as well towards.
* The picture was taken last year in the other city I lived in and I didn’t know what I was doing to my legs. I think I am going to curb the manner in how I exercise, or do it in a different manner.

ReplyDeleteJack, my friend, I couldn't agree with you more. Things come into our lives, and we can either live under the circumstances or on top of them. I, myself, prefer to live on top. I know you do too!
Ja, there 's always a solution, even the most difficult situations, just have patience.
ReplyDeletePeace.
I certainly do and finally things are much better. With all in consideration.
ReplyDeleteVictim mentality is something I don't care for either, Jack ... the quote at the top of this blog says it all ... I believe we all have hidden strength deep inside us ... a vein of untapped desire to achieve and overcome what we cannot accept or choose not to endure ... the key to it all is to live each day, never endure it ... the prize is in the outcome ... adversities build character and the will to overcome obstacles ... blessings to you, Jack ... this was a good read.
