Doctor Appointment

Tweet

I spent the couple hours leading up to my doctor's appointment this morning working on a book. My appointment was at 10:00. It was basically set up as a medication check for refills. However, it ended in x-rays of my knee. That meant a trip to the hospital. I was happy to learn the blood work that was done on Thursday was sent over to my doctor, since they are two different health care systems. I never make anything easy for myself. I did go to the pool this morning. It was interesting. I certainly couldn't give myself the workout I did before, but had to take it easy in the water, still it was a good workout. No fitness center. That's going to wait. The doctor said to let my body be my guide, saying 2-6 weeks before I'll be back in the fitness center again. I'm also not a happy camper this morning. I happened to see my weight on the paperwork going to the x-ray department. I know where all that weight is residing - my thighs, knees, and belly, though my belly has been coming down all along. There's a machine in the fitness center I'm going to start working on as soon as possible that will bust my thighs and knees and take it off the belly too. When that starts going down, then I'm certain I'll see progress on the scale again. For now, I remain on the plateau. I am still getting my picture taken on Monday when I do the official weigh in for this month. I'm certain 5 AM and a swimsuit will also make a difference in the weight. I also ate this morning before my appointment, and I know that is also factored in. He didn't schedule me for another follow-up appointment, so everything else is good. When they weighed me, they also took my height. The good news is I haven't done anymore shrinking. Though I was tempted to keep my hat on for additional height. That has been my morning. When I got back to the apartment, I stopped by the office to let them know there were a few things I needed help with. I needed the a/c cover off. It's high on the wall, and I'm not tall enough to reach it. I also needed two bulbs changed in the office. No way with this knee am I getting on a step stool, and I needed my garbage disposal looked at. That is also taken care of, and now, I'm here with you, to take care of my notifications, I'm sure must be close to a hundred. Just an added note regarding our very pleasant weather. We had record-breaking highs Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. We tied the record yesterday at 89. I think yesterday's rain kept it from going to 90, so I'm grateful for that, though 89 is still too warm for me. How are you all doing today? How was your Memorial Day weekend if you're in the US, and your weekend if you're not? Thanks for reading.
