Sometimes the most urgent and vital thing you can possibly do is take a complete rest.

Sometimes the most urgent and vital thing you can possibly do is take a complete rest. 

Such a nice and quiet day today, well, almost then. I did a few things and that was it, rest was on my schedule today and that will be aswell for the following days. I decided to call my Doctor for a appointment this morning, my pain in the hips are bothering me. I can try to figure it out myself to see what the pain causes or I can just leave it, but for just to be sure I thought, "Why not call my Doctor." While I'm there I can ask him for my blood levels (thyroid). I called the Doctor and I could come at 9:30 am, it was 8:30 am so that was perfect.

When I got there a woman approached me and ask me to come with her, hmm, akward cause me Doctor is a he, and I just saw him. Prolly a helper or a assistant Doctor, or it could be the Doctor's wife, who knows. It didn't matter. I told my story about my hurting hips and she asked me questions and later on she looked and checked out my hips. The pain bothers me most when I'm busy at work, you know, long standing, and heavy lifting sometimes. Sometimes the pain bothers me at night when I lay on it, to ease the pain I use painkillers. (Paracetamol) The Doctor told me that I surely could use two tablets at the same time instead of one.

She didn't and prolly couldn't describe what causes the hip pain, I think I already answered the question a bit what causes it. I haven't use the my 'ach supports' in a while with my working shoes, I only use them in my other shoes when I go out doing groceries or when I go somewhere else. And these  going out's doesn't happens that much, I walk or stand most of the time on my working shoes and my slippers, and in these shoes I don't wear the 'supports.' So, that prolly could be causing the hip pain, From Monday of I weared the 'supports' in my working shoes, and from today on also in my slippers. 

The supports in the slippers are a disaster though, they keep slipping out, solution? Tomorrow new slippers, it was about time aswell. My slippers are old, very old, I bought at Canadian tire, and there almost ripped. I walked miles on them, lol! The Doctor told me that it's good that I had vacation, so you can rest and see how it goes then. "You been busy lately you said, now you can rest and take for sure two painkillers when the pain gets worser," she told me. And further I will see how it goes when I  start working again, when the pain comes back then or gets worser I can make another appointment.

I'm glad I went to the Doctor, oh yeah my thyroid blood levels were 'fine,' as the Doctor told me. No information further, just 'fine.' Well okay, I can now just continue with my same thyroid medications for another three months. At the pharmacy I asked right away for a medication travel passport for my trip to London, for just in case. After the pharmacy I did some grocerie and that was it for today. Only there was one thing more, at 1:30 someone called me for a intervieuw, last August I had a intervieuw aswell, that intervieuw is a so called research. It's a normal procedure when someone has left Humanitas, they will get intervieuwed by a company called 'Cito.' 

Cito is a company who will collect most of the information and answers after the intervieuw, and they do a research of how your doing outside Humanitas. Do you manage outside Humanitas?  Can you take care of yourself after Humanitas? Do you need help or not now that you live on your own. What does Cito do with all the information? They want to see if people can handle there selves after Humanitas. In shorth a research. So yeah, in August someone visited me at Humanitas, cause I still lived there back in August. They intervieuwed me more then 2 hours, but today was different, the intervieuwer called me and did the intervieuw over the phone. 

The intervieuw was not longer then a hour, kinda akward though trough the phone, I rather talk or give answers face to face. Anyway, the intervieuw went okay. The nicest thing about the intervieuws is that I get payed for it, last intervieuw I got 20 Euro, today I will get aswell 20 Euro, nice! There will be one more intervieuw next year, let's see how that goes. Yeah it was a relaxing day, tomorrow will be the same I guess. Groceries and further I will see what will happen. Had a nice dinner aswell, after all the Christmas brunches it was nice to just have a plain plate with potatoes, red cabbage and a hamburger.
