Working hard to improve my health

So besides Tai Chi, I am trying to actively improve my health.

I have booked a MedsCheck review. On Monday I'm going to go over every last medication with my pharmacist. I've also decided to give massage therapy a try. I hope it may improve these darned headaches.

We'll see how this goes. I'm hoping that these two things that I can actively do myself may help my overall health.

the month that was

So we're a month into 2008 now. What's been going on with me?

Well I started Tai Chi this past January, and have been at it for 3 - 4 weeks now. It's been going really well. Our instructor, Francine, describes it as meditation in movement. I was just reflecting on how it's one of the few places where you don't think about the outside world while there.

I'm going back on short term disability at work. I've been having migraine-like headaches since the end of December, and the doctor hasn't started investigating it yet. They're interfering not only with work, but every day life.

On the dialysis front I have moved to the evenings. I didn't like one of the doctor's covering the afternoon. My only options were to switch times or dialysis centres. I hope these headaches go away soon.
