OK, this TIT’s post will be with a lot of groaning and people going to investigate my body parts… Not really that sexy as it sounds. And no pictures.
Remember my health issues tackles? Some one kicked my butt very hard (after the post below this) to get me going with them.
1) Phone call to Dentist: Resulting in appointment 30 January, but put on the waiting list if somebody else cancel. Let’s hope that happens before my toothache get worse…. Or another one of me teeth falls out too 
2) Phone call to Gynecologist: Remember I have a hole that needs to be carefully investigated…. *giggles* (see post below)
Seriously, I had to call them 3 times about this appointment. Really. That’s what happens when you have no brain after too much pain…
First I call them only to get an appointment as late as 13 of February *groaning*.
Then after putting down the phone I remembered that I should have asked to be put on the waiting list, so I have to call them again to get that confirmed.
Then after that I suddenly remembered that I already got another appointment with a pain in the ass coontrol doctor that date! One that is prescribed by the Social Security Agency – not by myself – yes, the same one that forced me to go to the shitty place. *groaning*
And of course, then it was 21 minutes past their phone time so I have to wait until afternoon today to phone them again. *groaning*
And that is very difficult for me to remember from one day to another, even with reminders. It’s like this all the time. I must keep lists and even then I forget the lists…
Do you beginning to understand now why I think that one phone call can be like climbing Mount Everest…? *lol*
3) Searching for a caring Doctor: Checked up the best place, Sophiahemmet, they have specialists but may be a very expensive alternative if it’s actually something that shall be done with me, because without a referral I have to pay everything on my own, every test or whatever and that’s close to robber.
So I continue to hunt for a good generic one – that can give me the right referrals to the right places, like Sophiahemmet. No one I know have any good doctor, so not any luck there. There is a lack of generic doctor’s in Sweden.
Looking up Doctor’s in the internet didn’t give me any good answers, maybe 2 doctor’s to check up some more. Which means I also have to scan through the phone books manually, because there are more informations in them than on internet.
4) The Hairdresser: I counted back and it seems like it’s 1 year and 9 months since I actually were to the hairdresser – can you believe it? My hair has felt as totally dead, but now the last week I can feel that it’s alive at least. Now I found a hairdresser that’s in acceptable distance and educated on hair with problems and uses products not so tough for your hair. I got an appointment 1 Feb for a combined talk & haircut. Maybe I’ll just cut the ends the first time, we’ll see how much I dare 
5) My stomach problems: I’m a bit better in the stomach and bowel than I was around xmas, so keep your fingers crossed that it will last. There are some really weird virus around nowadays, so maybe I had one. I always get everything since I already have a faulty stomach. I read somewhere that to prevent tourist stomach diseases, you should eat yoghurt with all sort of bacteria’s to prevent diseases – it builds up your immune defense. So I was thinking, if I do that, maybe I improve my immune defense? Though I have to buy the capsules, because I can’t tolerate that much lactose. Well, I’m ready to try it to get a bit better.
Bonus effect: Getting us to bed in time in the evenings and actually sleeping, which means getting up within reasonable time in the mornings, not trying to beat any of our crazy staying awake records….
So I’m not going to be bald, toothless with a very funny limp walk for ever, maybe just limping for the rest of my life
Oh, and we put away the christmas decorations at last. Here in Sweden it’s normally done like this last weekend, but we missed that. Besides that, in this dark country, it’s nice with a little extra light!
And of course – I’m busy changing this blog layout to something other than Santa
Reminder rest Tit’s:
1. Contact my doctor to get copies of my journals
2. Kick my ass to find a new doctor
3. Deal with my health issues
4. Kitchen cupboards
5. Porcelain boxes
6. Clean bathroom
7. Clean hall closet
8. Basement storage
9. Sales ads
(Have you noticed that it keeps adding up tackles to this list all the time instead of the opposite? *lol*)

Tackle your health issues first. Then you will have the energy to tackle all the other things that need doing..
Lifecruiser: Yes, I strongly suspect that you have a good point there
wow! good luck with everything, I hope you get to feeling better! I know what it is like to have Dr. issues!
Lifecruiser: Thanks, I could need it
Way to go on tackling your health issues. You inspired me to make some of those phone calls too…im going to do that right now…and i hope your toothache stays away.
mine is up too. Stop on by.
Lifecruiser: Thanks. Oh, I’m glad I could inspire you too
The health is important after all! I’ve already popped over 
Ya know….I’ve read several Tackle it Tuesday blogs in my time but I’ve never associated the T I T part! Dang, now I’m so depressed…..why didn’t I think of THAT myself?
ROFLMAO
Hope your stomach is getting better.
Golly, I kinda have a ‘tackle it’ blog today….but in a whole different sense…how to ‘retrain my hubby’ so to speak!!! It’s a hoot…..if you drop by to catch up, don’t forget to have your mouth clear of any liquids. I’m NOT RESPONSIBLE for wet keyboards and monitors.
*giggles*
Lifecruiser: Thanks. Oh, that was about the first thing I did, but I’m crazy
you’re making me sooo curious with your comment, so *off I am to your blog*
Oh, my dear,
what a To do list. And every single point is a Must do.
To find a good doctor challenge and the price issue concerning a private treatment, is that a result of the Social democratic Healthcare system?
We say in Norway: Equally bad for everyone.
Lifecruiser: Yes, it is. The new politic alliance which is in charge since this fall are already trying to change that and it looks promising, but of course, they can’t do magic tricks to make doctors popup from nowhere
So it will be better later on, but I need help now…
Wow, that’s quite a TIT you have going!!!! Hope all goes well.
Lifecruiser: Yes, isn’t it? Phew. But I feel determent to succeed now.
Adding to the todo list is always easy! Hoping that the you got everything done. Those are all VERY important todo’s!
Lifecruiser: Yes, it sure is!!!
I’m glad that you are tackling all the health issues. That’s is the most important thing. I hope all goes well with your appointments and I hope some can get you in sooner!
Lifecruiser: Thanks, I hope so too!
Good for you on getting the calls done!
I *hate* making phone calls. Any phone calls but especially those to doctors offices. Right now I’m procrastinating on calling my gynecologist.
Lifecruiser: Yes, sin’t it horrible? Sooo difficult. I’d rather climb mount Everest I think, despite the fact that I hate snow… *lol*
We have a doctor shortage right now in my city in Canada too. I don’t know if it’s as bad across the country, but here people can’t get family doctors anymore. If you have one you need to hang on to them for dear life and hope that they pass their practise on to someone else when they retire or you
‘will be “up the creek without a doctor” so to speak.
I’m ashamed to say my Christmas decorations are still up. I’ve been focusing on other areas of the house. ;(
Lifecruiser: That sounds bad yes. i hope it improves for you. Over here there is some measurements going on, but it will take time before it’s a fact. Oh, well, who says we cant have xmas for several months? *giggles*
Great tackles, I still have not switched my doctor that I have been planning on switching since October.
Lifecruiser: Thanks. Oh, well I know exactly how that is… So difficult to get going… Maybe I should kick your butt to? *lol*
Good for you! That sounds like a lot of work for you. Pat yourself on the back.
As for the yogurt – acidopholous (sp?) pills can do wonders! The friendly flora for your intestines.
Lifecruiser: Thanks. Ah, that sounds very promising, I’ll buy some as soon as I can get my hand of a store that selss them!
That’s a lot to do! Good luck, and hope everything goes well!
Lifecruiser: Thanks. Yes, and it got me wuite exhusted in my mind… *lol*
