Surgery--Again

Oy already! How's mit?

Eh. Not eh plus or eh minus. Just eh. I have a pain in my leg. New. I'm waiting to hear from the dentist. I have someone helping me clean. I have an appointment with the endocrinologist on Thursday.

I had dinner with Sheila and her son on Saturday. The best lasagna I ever had. Thomas was here on Friday to fix something with my computer. He has to come back for computer fix, part 2.

I'm adjusting to my new financial arrangements.

I wanna know how your are, bunny. BP? Woollies? You? Life? Etc.?

A lot of that sounds good!!!!!!!!! Cleanth, teeth, not so desperate about money.

BP......still have a few tests to go, see specialist sometime next month. New tablet seems to be working.

Just had a week and a bit off......lovely, now back at work.

Nice new woolly pics on Facebook. At present they are running around like mad things.

You have a darned good dentist if they're gonna be able to take care of that there leg pain.

Seriously though, sorry to learn you have an added item to deal with. Hopefully it'll turn out to be nothing of consequence.

Her roots run deep.

Oy! Update already.....how's the leg? Hows mit?

The leg is fine.

I saw the endocrinologist last week. She was more concerned with my blood pressure than my thyroid. She scheduled a bunch of tests for the thyroid and gave me a second prescription for the BP. No significant difference. I was running a low--grade fever as well. That seems to have faded.

Before I head back to the walk-in clinic I decided to take some prednisone (steroid) for my asthma. I was taking it when my BP went down the last time.

Fed up.

Have they finished all the tests on you? Have they found a solution? How the hell is my bunny?

Roberta, I am ashamed to admit it scares the hell out of me when younger men pay too much attention. I'm not usually worried about cooties, oh no, I take a giant leap to "Oh my good I hope he's not a pickpocket or serial killer". I just thought you'd want to know you're not the only worry wart here.

As you know, I've had big effects from the blood pressure pills, whapping my forehead big time with a following 5 day hospital visit. The cardiologist (see him again late June, the gruff one that we enjoyed talking the next visit) put me on a med that is screamingly horrendous if you read the brochure, but seems to work with people like me who can possibly collapse with low blood pressure with even very low dose lisinopril. I had that happen three times over about five years, the dosage going down the first two, and the third one, the hospital visit.

The brochure warnings for the new one aren't helpful, all about sending pressure too high. It took me months of watching my pressure three times a day to establish clearly that what happens with it is that if your pressure is too low it will kick up, and high, kick down - it balances. Cardiologist relieved me of that and said, essentially, take these twice a day, 10 to 12 hours apart, and only chart every couple of days, live a normal life.

I chart, not the pressure except once in a while, but the times, to make sure I take the damned thing.

I've missed a few times (pills in my purse, a clue, they should be in the fridge, these need to be lower than 70 degrees), and all fine.

Hey glitter, I don't think he paid too much attention. It seemed like the right amount. As for pickpockets, "He who picks my pocket gets nothing but dirty tissues." I've never been concerned about serial killers. Thanks for giving me something new to worry about.

osso, Dealing with side effects is sometimes worse than the problem you're taking the med for. So far, no adverse effects. In fact, no effect at all. I chart daily and never forget to check my pressure or my meds. I'm such a good goil. "Fine" is good.

Edit: Oops. Just remembered the Son of Sam. I was worried about him.

So, back in Rome, I was walking ahead of my husband in dire need to find a bathroom, blood running down my leg (fibroid, later easily fixed, too long a story). I was surrounded by zingari (gypsies in filmy clothing), and the main one got into my fanny pack (fanny pack being in front). What was in there? Tampax.
They left in annoyance.

(I'm not against them, another long story)

All tests finally completed.

How the hell anyone in full employment is supposed to get medical care I do not know!

I now have hours of time to make up at work. It's a bit worse for me because I never know where the hell to get things done. If I do it near home I am hours late for work. If I get things done near work, I have to take chunks out of the day battling through traffic to get places. I haven't had waiting times like you though Boida. I couldn't manage that. I have been grumpy enough just having to go and have bloody tests! I don't DO doctors! I am a health PROVIDER, not a consumer! I can see that I'm going to have to do some work on adapting my attitude.

Results? Find out when I go to the specialist I guess.

There's no point in worrying about serial killers.

My wishes that every thing will go superb

That's true, there may be no point worrying about serial killers, ax muderers and the like, but I know they out there somewhere, I'm determined fly under the radar.

Its minor dude.. its easy .. relax. wishes for you. Get better faster.

So, how's mit already?

Eh plus today. Why the plus? Not panting. My BP may have regulated itself. Not sure. I see the doc on Thursday.

My social services agency may get me glasses!!!! I'll be able to see, read, and work again--without major squinting and/or horrendous headaches. This will take the guesswork out of my tv listings, which are shown in a list on the screen. Wanna watch Cooler People? Nope, the Color Purple.

Another group may take me on as a client. I won't know until June. They have a book group. I warned that I'm opinionated. The director was unfazed. Hey book group people. Duck!

Enough of my rambling. Did you get the results of all your steenkin' tests? Please let me know how you are. I worry.

Eh plus good!!! At last you are getting the absolutely basic things you shouldn't have to think about.

No steenking results. I realised I hadn't received one i should have got, so checked with the doctor's place. She didn't hace it either, so cancelled the appointment because it would have been a waste of time. I have a tentative mew one on May 26th but I need to check my diary to see if I am already booked up then.

Also, it's at 2.00 pm which means having to make up three and a half hour's work time. I already have that much time I need to make up from one of the steenking tests so I am going to try and make it a more convenient time.

Back from Bellevue. My blood pressure has returned to normal. I guess the second medication did the trick.

Now I can resume getting my teeth fixed. Although I'm looking forward to having teeth I can use to eat with, I'm not looking forward to the yanking, drilling, and other ooky stuff it will take to get my mouth fully operational again.
