Kryptonite

I went to the doctor for the first time since 2002 yesterday. Sinus infection was the diagnosis...but the staff there was more amused by the reality that I hadn't been in the office in so long. Each staffer made cracks about having to re-open closed files or asking what brought me in this year or telling me that they'd see me in 2008.

One of the drawbacks to good health is that when you do get something, you spend a good amount of time with your palms upraised asking yourself, "How could my body betray me like this? How could you be so weak as to let infectious bacteria invade? What were you thinking?"

It's much like an infielder who looks at his glove after making an error on a ground ball...

Mood: Annoyed & bewildered.
